Description

Solar cell and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of solar cells, in particular to a solar cell and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In a solar cell, photons excite material molecules to release electrons, generating an electric current. Usually, only one electron can be excited by one photon, and the remaining energy of the high-energy photon is dissipated as heat. This greatly limits the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell. Furthermore, in order to ensure the efficiency and durability of the battery, the silicon material must have a surface passivation layer. Electrons generated in the excited material must pass through the passivation layer to reach the silicon material. Current passivation layers are too thick relative to the electron transport capability.
An Interdigital Back Contact (IBC) solar cell is one of the industrialized solar cells with the highest conversion efficiency at present, the cell takes N-type monocrystalline silicon as a substrate, a p-N junction and a metal electrode are all arranged on the back of the cell in an interdigital shape, the front side is not shaded by the electrode, the absorption of the cell to light is improved by surface texturing and an antireflection layer is added, and very high short-circuit current and photoelectric conversion efficiency are obtained.
The technical scheme of the existing IBC battery is as follows: firstly cleaning and texturing a silicon wafer, then carrying out antireflection and passivation treatment on the front surface of a battery, secondly forming a P-type emitter and an N-type Back Surface Field (BSF) on the back surface of the battery respectively through a mask technology, finally screen-printing a positive electrode and a negative electrode on the back surface of the battery, and finally preparing the battery piece through high-temperature sintering. The passivation of the back of the battery is realized by SiNx or silicon dioxide, a Topcon passivation structure is not superposed, the passivation effect of the back of the battery is general, and dark saturation current is large.
On the P-type emitter electrode surface of the N-type crystalline silicon battery, an aluminum oxide layer capable of fixing negative charges is formed on silicon atoms on the surface, so that a good field passivation effect can be realized; meanwhile, the material has lower defect density and higher charge density. However, the use of an aluminum oxide layer to achieve the field passivation effect has the following disadvantages: first, TMA (trimethylaluminum) precursors are used in the deposition of aluminum oxide layers, which are hazardous, having a toxicity rating of 3, a flammability rating of 3, and an explosiveness rating of 3. Secondly, the deposition preparation of the aluminum oxide layer needs heat treatment, and a better passivation effect is realized through an annealing condition, wherein the annealing temperature is usually 500-600 ℃; for thin film batteries or low temperature batteries, the ambient temperature is generally required to be lower than 350 ℃, and if the battery is annealed at a temperature of 500-600 ℃, the battery performance is influenced. Thus, the search for other negative fixed charge passivating agents than alumina is a new task facing the field of photovoltaic cell technology.
Therefore, it is particularly desirable to provide a solar cell with high photoelectric conversion efficiency and good passivation effect.
