随着能源危机的加剧,太阳能电池作为开发和利用太阳能的一种普遍形式, 日益受到世界各国的重视.随着太阳能电池向着高效率、薄膜化、无毒性和原材料丰富的方向发展, 单纯的硅系太阳能电池已经无法达到这样的要求,因此新的材料和工艺的开发利用迫在眉睫. 本文研究了碳材料在硅异质节上实现光伏效应的改善及其可能在太阳能电池上的应用. 采用脉冲激光沉积方法制备的Co₂-C₉₈/Al₂O₃/Si异质结构在标准日光照射 (AM1.5, 100 mW/cm²)条件下,可获得0.447 V的开路电压和18.75 mA/cm²的电流密度, 转换效率可达3.27%.通过电容电压特性和暗条件下的电输运性能测量, 证明了氧化铝层的引入不但对单晶硅的表面起到了物理钝化作用,减小了反向漏电流, 使异质结界面缺陷、界面能级和复合中心减少,还起到了场效应钝化作用, 增加了异质结界面的势垒高度,增加了开路电压,使异质结的光伏效应显著增强.

界面效应在提升异质结构材料的多铁性能方面有着重要的作用. 本文采用脉冲激光沉积技术在SrTiO₃(STO)基片上制备了Bi_0.8Ba_0.2FeO₃(BBFO)/La_2/3Sr_1/3MnO₃(LSMO)异质结. X-射线衍射图谱表明异质结呈现单相外延生长, 利用高分辨透射电镜进一步证实了BBFO为四方相结构. X-射线光电子能谱证实异质结中只存在Fe³⁺ 离子, 没有产生价态的变化, 揭示了异质结铁电和铁磁性的增强与BBFO/LSMO的界面有关. 同时, 测试了磁电阻(MR)和磁介电(MD), 当磁场强度为0.8 T, 温度为70 K时, MR约为-42.2%, MD约为21.2%. 并且发现在180 K时出现磁相的转变. 实验结果揭示出异质界面效应在提升材料的多铁性和磁电耦合效应方面具有超常的优点, 是加快多铁材料实际应用的有效途径.     

质子辐照CH3NH3PbI3基钙钛矿太阳能电池的损伤效应

针对钙钛矿太阳能电池(PSCs)的空间应用,研究了动能为0.1—20.0 MeV的质子在CH₃NH₃PbI₃(简称MAPbI₃)薄膜及其太阳能电池中引起的损伤效应.结果表明, PSCs具有良好质子辐照稳定性,当0.1 MeV(2.0 MeV)质子的注量超过1×10¹³ p/cm² (1×10¹⁴ p/cm²)时,才会引起电池光电性能的降低. PSCs载流子传输层的辐照退化可能是造成电池性能降低的主要原因. MAPbI₃中的有机成分MAI会在质子辐照作用下发生分解,分解产生的气态产物(NH₃和CH₃I)将最终导致PSCs表面金电极的剥落.对于具有更大离子射程的10 MeV和20 MeV质子,入射质子会在PSCs的玻璃基底中产生色心缺陷,造成玻璃对可见光透射率的降低.色心缺陷可以在室温或100℃条件下发生热退火,降低玻璃的透射损失.

通过仿真软件AFORS-HET对a-Si:H(p)/i-a-Si:H/c-Si(n)异质结太阳能电池的光伏特性进行分析及优化,主要对比了a-Si:H(p)层的均匀掺杂和表面掺杂浓度D₁=1×10²⁰ cm^-3>界面掺杂浓度D₂=4×10¹⁹ cm^-3的梯度掺杂情况时的光伏特性,实现了在梯度掺杂时22.32%的光电转换效率。与均匀梯度掺杂相比,发射层的梯度掺杂除了引入一个附加电场,还优化了能带结构、光谱响应、表面复合速率。结果表明,梯度掺杂可以有效地改善电池的光电转换性能。     

Silicon nitride/silicon oxide interlayers for solar cell passivating contacts based on PECVD amorphous silicon

This Letter demonstrates improved passivating contacts for silicon solar cells consisting of doped silicon films together with tunnelling dielectric layers. An improvement is demonstrated by replacing the commonly used silicon oxide interfacial layer with a silicon nitride/silicon oxide double interfacial layer. The paper describes the optimization of such contacts, including doping of a PECVD intrinsic a‐Si:H film by means of a thermal POCl₃ diffusion process and an exploration of the effect of the refractive index of the SiN_x. The n⁺ silicon passivating contact with SiN_x /SiO_x double layer achieves a better result than a single SiN_x or SiO_x layer, giving a recombination current parameter of ～7 fA/cm² and a contact resistivity of ～0.005 Ω cm², respectively. These self‐passivating electron‐selective contacts open the way to high efficiency silicon solar cells. (© 2015 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

渐变带隙氢化非晶硅锗薄膜太阳能电池的优化设计

利用一维微电子-光电子结构分析软件(AMPS-1D)在AM1.5G(100 mW/cm2)、室温条件下模拟和比较了有、无渐变带隙氢化非晶硅锗(a-SiGe:H)薄膜太阳能电池的各项性能.计算结果表明:渐变带隙结构电池具有较高的开路电压(V oc)和较好的填充因子(FF),转换效率(E ff)比非渐变带隙电池提高了0.477%.研究了氢化非晶硅(a-Si:H)、氢化非晶碳化硅(a-SiC:H)和氢化纳米晶硅(nc-Si:H)三种不同材料的窗口层对a-SiGe:H薄膜太阳能电池性能的影响.结果显示:在以nc-Si:H为窗口层的电池能带中,费米能级E F已经进入价带,使得窗口层电导率及电池开路电压有所提高,又由于ITO与p-nc-Si:H的接触势垒较低,使得接触处的电场降低,更有利于载流子的收集.另一方面,窗口层与a-SiGe:H薄膜之间存在较大的带隙差,在p/i界面由于能带补偿作用形成了价带势垒(带阶)?E v,阻碍了空穴的迁移,因此我们在p/i界面引入缓冲层,使得能带补偿作用得到释放,更有利于空穴的迁移和收集,得到优化后单结渐变带隙a-SiGe:H薄膜结构太阳能电池的转换效率达到了9.104%.

Nanostructuring Si surface and Si/SiO2 interface using porous-alumina-on-Si template technology. Electrical characterization of Si/SiO2 interface

In this work, anodic porous alumina thin films with pores in the nanometer range are grown on silicon by electrochemistry and are used as masking material for the nanopatterning of the silicon substrate. The pore diameter and density are controlled by the electrochemical process. Through the pores of the alumina film chemical oxidation of the silicon substrate is performed, leading to the formation of regular arrays of well-separated stoichiometric silicon dioxide nanodots on silicon, with a density following the alumina pores density and a diameter adjustable by adjusting the chemical oxidation time. The alumina film is dissolved chemically after the SiO₂ nanodots growth, revealing the arrays of silicon dioxide dots on silicon. In a next step, the nanodots are also removed, leaving a nanopatterned bare silicon surface with regular arrays of nanopits at the footprint of each nanodot. This silicon surface structuring finds interesting applications in nanoelectronics. One such application is in silicon nanocrystals memories, where the structuring of the oxidized silicon surface leads to the growth of discrete silicon nanocrystals of uniform size. In this work, we examine the electrical quality of the Si/SiO₂ interface of a nanostructured oxidized silicon surface fabricated as above and we find that it is appropriate for electronic applications (an interface trap density below 1–3×10¹⁰ eV⁻¹ cm⁻² is obtained, indicative of the high quality of the thermal silicon oxide).

Silicon heterojunction solar cell with amorphous silicon oxide buffer and microcrystalline silicon oxide contact layers

This Letter reports on the fabrication and characterization of silicon heterojunction solar cells with silicon oxide based buffer (intrinsic amorphous silicon oxide) and contact layers (doped microcrystalline silicon oxide) on flat p‐type wafers. The critical dependency of the cell performance on the front and rear buffer layer thickness reveals a trade‐off between the open circuit voltage V_oc and the fill factor FF. At the optimum, the highest efficiency of 18.5% (active area = 0.67 cm²) was achieved with V_oc = 664 mV, short circuit current J_sc = 35.7 mA/cm² and FF = 78.0%. (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Extremely low surface recombination in 1 Ω cm n‐type monocrystalline silicon

A key requirement in the recent development of highly efficient silicon solar cells is the outstanding passivation of their surfaces. In this work, plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition of a triple layer dielectric consisting of amorphous silicon, silicon oxide and silicon nitride, charged extrinsically using corona, has been used to demonstrate extremely low surface recombination. Assuming Richter's parametrisation for bulk lifetime, an effective surface recombination velocity S_eff = 0.1 cm/s at Δn = 10¹⁵ cm^–3 has been obtained for planar, float zone, n ‐type, 1 Ω cm silicon. This equates to a saturation current density J_0s = 0.3 fA/cm², and a 1‐sun implied open‐circuit voltage of 738 mV. These surface recombination parameters are among the lowest reported for 1 Ω cm c‐Si. A combination of impedance spectroscopy and corona‐lifetime measurements shows that the outstanding chemical passivation is due to the small hole capture cross section for states at the interface between the Si and a‐Si layer which are hydrogenated during nitride deposition.

Superstrate p-i-n a-Si:H solar cells on textured ZnO:Al front transparent conduction oxide

Superstrate p-i-n amorphous silicon thin-film (a-Si:H) solar cells are prepared on SnO₂:F and ZnO:Al transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) in order to see the effect of TCO/p-layers on a-Si:H solar cell operation. The solar cells prepared on textured ZnO:Al have higher open circuit voltage V_oc than cells prepared on SnO₂:F. The presence of a thin microcrystalline p-type silicon layer (μc-Si:H) between ZnO:Al and p a-SiC:H plays a major role by causing an improvement in the fill factor as well as in V_oc of a-Si:H solar cells prepared on ZnO:Al TCO. Without any treatment of the p-i interface, we could obtain a high V_oc of 994 mV while keeping the fill factor (72.7%) and short circuit current density J_sc at the same level as for the cells on SnO₂:F TCO. This high V_oc value can be attributed to modification in the current transport in this region due to creation of a potential barrier.     

19.4%‐efficient large‐area fully screen‐printed silicon solar cells

We demonstrate industrially feasible large‐area solar cells with passivated homogeneous emitter and rear achieving energy conversion efficiencies of up to 19.4% on 125 × 125 mm² p‐type 2–3 Ω cm boron‐doped Czochralski silicon wafers. Front and rear metal contacts are fabricated by screen‐printing of silver and aluminum paste and firing in a conventional belt furnace. We implement two different dielectric rear surface passivation stacks: (i) a thermally grown silicon dioxide/silicon nitride stack and (ii) an atomic‐layer‐deposited aluminum oxide/silicon nitride stack. The dielectrics at the rear result in a decreased surface recombination velocity of S_rear = 70 cm/s and 80 cm/s, and an increased internal IR reflectance of up to 91% corresponding to an improved J_sc of up to 38.9 mA/cm² and V_oc of up to 664 mV. We observe an increase in cell efficiency of 0.8% absolute for the cells compared to 18.6% efficient reference solar cells featuring a full‐area aluminum back surface field. To our knowledge, the energy conversion efficiency of 19.4% is the best value reported so far for large area screen‐printed solar cells. (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
