Definitions

  • Photovoltaic cell with a photovoltaically active semiconductor material contained therein
  • the invention relates to photovoltaic cells and the photovoltaically active semiconductor material contained therein.
  • Photovoltaically active materials are semiconductors that convert light into electrical energy.
  • the basics have been known for a long time and are used technically.
  • Most of the technically used solar cells are based on crystalline silicon (monocrystalline or polycrystalline).
  • incident photons excite electrons of the semiconductor, so that they are lifted from the valence band into the conduction band.
  • the height of the energy gap between the valence band and the conduction band limits the maximum possible efficiency of the solar cell. For silicon, this is about 30% when exposed to sunlight. In practice, on the other hand, an efficiency of about 15% is achieved because some of the charge carriers are recombined by different processes and thus deprived of their use.
  • silicon With an energy gap around 1, 1 eV, silicon has a fairly good value for use. By reducing the energy gap, more charge carriers are transported into the conduction band, but the cell voltage becomes lower. Correspondingly, higher cell voltages are achieved with larger energy gaps, but since fewer photons are present for excitation, lower usable currents are available.
  • a new concept is to generate an intermediate level within the energy gap (up-conversion). This concept is described, for example, in the Proceedings of the 14th Workshop on Quantum Solar Energy Conversion Quantasol 2002, March, 17-23, 2002, Rauris, Salzburg, Austria, "Improving Solar Cells Efficiencies by the Up-Conversion", T. Trupke, MA Green, P. Würfel or "Increasing the Efficiency of Ideal Solar Cells by Photon Induced Transitions at intermediate levels ", A. Luque and A. Marti, Phys. Rev. Letters, Vol. 78, No. 26, June 1997, 5014-5017. For a band gap of 1.995 eV and an energy of the intermediate level at 0.713 eV, a maximum efficiency of 63.17% is calculated.
  • the desired intermediate energy level in the bandgap is increased by replacing some of the tellurane ions in the anion lattice with the much more electronegative oxygen ion.
  • tellurium was replaced by ion implantation in thin films by oxygen.
  • a major disadvantage of this class of substances is that the solubility of the oxygen in the semiconductor is extremely low. It follows that, for example, the compounds Zn 1-x Mn x Tei -y Oy with y greater than 0.001 are not thermodynamically stable. Upon irradiation for a long time, they decompose into the stable tellurides and oxides. Use of up to 10 at% tellurium by oxygen would be desirable, but such compounds are not stable.
  • Zinc telluride which has a direct band gap of 2.25 eV at room temperature, would be an ideal semiconductor for the intermediate level technology because of this large band gap.
  • Zinc is readily substituted by magnesium in zinc telluride, with the band gap increasing to about 3.4 eV in MgTe (Optical Properties of Epitaxial Zn Mn Te and ZnMgTe films for a wide range of alloy compostions, X. Liu et al. , J. Appl. Phys., Vol. 91, No. 5, March 2002, 2859-2865; "Bandgap of Zn 1- JVIn x Te: nonlinear dependence on compostion and temperature", HC Mertins et al., Semicond Technol. 8 (1993) 1634-1638).
  • a photovoltaic cell usually contains a p-type absorber and an n-type transparent layer of, for example, indium-tin oxide, fluorine-doped tin oxide, antimony-doped zinc oxide or aluminum-doped zinc oxide.
  • x 0.01 to 0.7 metal halides of the metals germanium, tin, antimony, bismuth or copper in proportions of preferably 0.005 to 0.05 moles per mole of telluride are introduced.
  • the partial replacement of tellurium in the semiconductor lattice by the electronegative halide ions causes the formation of the desired stable intermediate energy level in the bandgap.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic cell with high efficiency and high electric power.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic cell with an alternative, thermodynamically stable, photovoltaically active semiconductor material, wherein the semiconductor material contains an intermediate level in the energy gap.
  • a photovoltaic cell with a photovoltaically active semiconductor material wherein the photovoltaically active semiconductor material is a material of the formula (I), of the formula (II) or a combination thereof
  • M n Te m and Me a M b are each a dopant in which M is at least one element selected from the group of silicon, germanium, tin, lead, antimony and bismuth and Me for at least one element selected from the group magnesium and zinc
  • n 1 to 2
  • m 0.5 to 4
  • the invention further relates to a photovoltaically active semiconductor material of the formula (I), the formula (II) or a combination thereof, with
  • the doping agent (M n Te m or Me a M b ) at least one compound selected from the group Si 3 Te 3 , GeTe, SnTe, PbTe, Sb 2 Te 3 , Bi 2 Te 3 , Mg 2 Si, Mg 2 Ge, Mg 2 Sn, Mg 2 Pb, Mg 3 Sb 2 , Mg 3 Bi 2 , ZnSb, Zn 3 Sb 2 and Zn 4 Sb 3 .
  • Sb 2 Te 3 has a band gap of 0.3 eV as a pure substance. If ZnTe is doped with 2 mol% of Sb 2 Te 3 , an absorption at 0.8 eV is found in addition to the band gap of the ZnTe at 2.25 to 2.3 eV.
  • the semiconductor materials used in the photovoltaic cell according to the invention have high Seebeck coefficients of up to 100 ⁇ V / degree with high electrical conductivity. This behavior shows that the new semiconductors can be activated not only visually, but also thermally, thus contributing to a better utilization of light quanta.
  • the photovoltaic cell according to the invention has the advantage that the used photovoltaically active semiconductor material of the formula (I), the formula (II) or a combination thereof is thermodynamically stable. Furthermore, the photovoltaic cells according to the invention have high efficiencies of more than 15%, since an intermediate level in the energy level due to the dopants contained in the semiconductor material. bridge of the photovoltaically active semiconductor material is generated. Without an intermediate level, only such photons can lift electrons or charge carriers from the valence band into the conduction band, which have at least the energy of the energy gap. Higher energy photons also contribute to efficiency, with the excess of energy lost to the bandgap as heat. With the intermediate level present in the semiconductor material used for the present invention, which can be partially filled, more photons can contribute to the excitation.
  • the photovoltaic cell of the present invention is preferably constructed to contain a p-type absorber layer of the material of the formula (I), the formula (II) or a combination thereof. Adjacent to this absorber layer of the p-type semiconductor material is an n-conducting contact layer which is as non-absorbent as possible, preferably an n-conducting transparent layer comprising at least one semiconductor material selected from the group consisting of indium tin oxide, fluorine doped tin oxide and antimony doped contains gallium-doped, indium-doped and aluminum-doped zinc oxide.

Only when the negative charge reaches the p-n interface can it leave the p-region. A current flows when the negative charge has reached the front contact attached to the contact layer.

  • This layer is preferably produced by at least one deposition process selected from the group sputtering, electrochemical deposition and electroless deposition.
