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.

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.
