Background
Texturing the surface of a solar cell to form an effective antireflection effect is called texturing, and is one of important means for increasing the efficiency of the solar cell. At present, a corrosion method adopting a cheap alkaline solution system is widely applied in industry, a pyramid-like suede structure can be formed on the surface of a monocrystalline silicon wafer through anisotropic corrosion in an alkaline solution, and incident light is reflected on the surface of the silicon wafer for multiple times to improve the absorption of a solar cell to light, so that the reflectivity of the surface of the silicon wafer is reduced. However, the pyramid structure obtained by the process has uneven size, and the reflection reducing effect of the texture is reduced. Researches find that the suede uniformity can be improved by pretreating a silicon wafer with hydrogen peroxide or directly adding hydrogen peroxide into the suede making liquid. Related patents (see patent application nos. CN201410058182.8, CN201610234684.0, CN201410850205.9, etc.) are also described.
However, hydrogen peroxide is a dangerous corrosive chemical, is unstable in chemical properties and is very easily decomposed, and can react with combustible substances to release a large amount of heat and oxygen to cause ignition and explosion. Hydrogen peroxide used for texturing in the actual solar cell manufacturing process is large in consumption, most of hydrogen peroxide in the market is high-concentration products with the concentration of 30% -35%, the hydrogen peroxide is strong in corrosivity and high in risk coefficient, if the hydrogen peroxide is not leaked or improperly treated, the hydrogen peroxide can cause great harm to the environment, the transportation and storage requirements are high, the cell preparation cost is obviously increased, and therefore the hydrogen peroxide is very necessary to be replaced.

The invention is further improved in that the power supply is a direct current power supply with constant voltage output or square wave voltage output.
The invention is further improved in that the voltage value of the direct current power supply is 1-3.5V, and the total voltage pressurization time of the direct current power supply is 30-500 s.
The invention has the further improvement that the monocrystal texture etching liquid is an aqueous solution containing alkali and texture etching additives; wherein, the mass fraction of the alkali in the monocrystal texture-making liquid is 1-2.5%, and the volume fraction of the texture-making additive is 1-2%.

The invention has the further improvement that the wool making temperature is 78-85 ℃, and the wool making time is 3-10 minutes.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects: the invention provides a method for forming a pyramid texture surface by using a solar monocrystalline silicon wafer as an electrolytic anode and forming an oxide layer on the surface of the silicon wafer under the action of an external voltage, wherein the oxide layer can accelerate the pyramid nucleation speed of the silicon wafer in the initial texture surface making stage, the nucleation quantity is more and the distribution is more uniform, and a pyramid structure with uniform size can be formed on the surface of the silicon wafer after the texture surface making is finished, so that a high-quality texture surface with high pyramid coverage rate and density is obtained. The invention does not relate to the use of dangerous chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide, and the like, avoids the problem of secondary pollution caused by adding other medicaments, and the problems of extremely high consumption of hydrogen peroxide, high transportation and storage cost and increased production cost of the solar cell in the actual production process by adopting a hydrogen peroxide pretreatment method.
