Solar cell with high conversion efficiency

Abstract

The invention discloses a solar cell with high conversion efficiency, which belongs to the field of semiconductor material application. The solar cell is formed by forming a periodical nanostructure such as a nano wire grating and a nanopore array in a conventional antireflection coating of the solar cell. The nanostructure can reduce an effective refractive index of the antireflection coating, and makes a refractive index of the antireflection coating matched with a substrate so as to improve the reflection resistance of the coating and enhance the light absorption of the solar cell to further improve the conversion efficiency of the solar cell. Theoretical analysis shows that the conversion efficiency of the solar cell adopting the antireflection coating with the nanostructure is relatively more improved at 400 to 1,000 nm, and particularly is greatly improved at short-wave bands. The nanostructure can be realized only by using photoetching and etching based on a conventional solar cell processing technique, and the processing technique is compatible with the conventional solar cell processing technique, and can be widely applied to the photovoltaic industry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a technology for improving the conversion efficiency of solar energy, in particular to an antireflection film solar cell with a periodic nanostructure, which belongs to the application field of semiconductor materials. Background technique [0002] Due to the advantages of low cost, abundant storage, non-toxicity, stability and mature processing technology, silicon material is the best choice for making photovoltaic devices. Current commercial photovoltaic devices usually have 200-300 mm The active layer of silicon, which accounts for about 40% of the cost of photovoltaic devices, is very expensive for a wide range of applications. In order to reduce the cost of a wide range of applications, researchers have proposed thin-film solar cells with only a few microns of silicon active layer, but the thinner the active layer, the weaker the light absorption of photovoltaic devices, resulting in a reduction in the conversion efficien...
