Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of solar batteries, in particular relating to a synergy method of a surface plasmon metallic nano-chain in a solar battery. In the process of manufacturing the solar battery, a layer of metallic nano-film consisting of the metallic nano-chain is manufactured between the back electrode and photovoltaic layer of the solar battery. An incident light is localized on the surface of the metallic nano-chain after passing through a light cathode and the photovoltaic layer to form a horizontally transmitted surface plasmon transmission mode, therefore, the effective transmission distance of the incident light at the photovoltaic layer is greatly increased, thereby, improving the absorption efficiency of the solar battery to the incident light and greatly improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar battery. The technology further has the advantages of diversified manufacturing processes, low manufacturing cost, obvious synergy effect and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a method for synergizing surface plasmon metal nano chains in solar cells. Background technique [0002] Energy issues are one of the most important issues facing society today. With the gradual depletion of fossil fuel energy, finding new and renewable energy sources has become a hot issue in the field of scientific research. Solar energy is an inexhaustible renewable and clean energy for human beings. It has the greatest potential to become the mainstream energy in the world. Its development and utilization have attracted widespread attention. An important technical bottleneck in the field of solar cells is that the current absorption efficiency of solar cells for sunlight is not high, especially for long-wavelength bands with wavelengths above 600 nanometers. These long-wavelength sunlight account for 30% of the total energy of the entire solar spectrum. If they can be ef...
