具有复合背接触层的CdTe多晶薄膜太阳电池(英文)

Polycrystalline CdTe thin-film solar cells with complex back contact layers

为了提高CdTe太阳电池的背接触性能,用共蒸发法制备了ZnTe:Cu和Cd1-xZnxTe多晶薄膜。研究结果表明:Cd1-xZnxTe多晶薄膜的能隙与锌含量呈二次方关系,ZnTe:Cu多晶薄膜能隙随着掺Cu浓度的增加而减小。分别用ZnTe/ZnTe:Cu和Cd1-xZnxTe/ZnTe:Cu复合膜作为背接触层,既能修饰异质结界面,改善电池的能带结构,又能防止Cu原子向电池内部扩散。因此获得了面积0.502cm2,转换效率为13.38%的CdTe多晶薄膜太阳电池。

To improve the properties of back contacts of CdTe solar cells, ZnTe:Cu and polycrystalline Cd1-xZnxTe films were deposited by simultaneous evaporation. Investigative data of the configuration and performance indicate that energy gap of Cd1-xZnxTe films assume quadratic connection with zinc content. With increasing of Cu content, energy gap of polycrystalline ZnTe: Cu will decrease. ZnTe/ZnTe:Cu or Cd1-xZnxTe/ZnTe:Cu back contacted cells can reduce the heterogeneous interface state density and modify the structure of energy band of the solar cells. Furthermore, diffusion of Cu can avoid by this compound films in CdTe solar cells. An efficiency of 13.38% of solar cell with dimension of 0.502 cm2 was fabricated.
