Abstract

The invention discloses a method for increasing the light absorption of a solar cell, comprising: growing a nanostructure of a wide-bandgap oxide on the light-receiving surface of the solar cell, the wide-bandgap oxide being zinc oxide, titanium dioxide or tin dioxide, The nanostructure is a nanoparticle with a diameter of 10-100 nm or a nano-rod array with a single nano-rod length of 30-300 nm. The method for increasing the light absorption of the solar cell can significantly reduce the light reflection loss in a wide solar spectrum range, so that the efficiency of the solar cell is significantly improved. The method of the invention has simple process, low energy consumption, is fully compatible with the existing solar cell production process, and is suitable for large-scale industrialization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of solar energy applications, in particular to a method for increasing light absorption of solar cells. Background technique [0002] How to effectively reduce the reflectivity of solar cells and increase their light absorption is one of the key factors to improve the efficiency of solar cells. In the existing solar cell manufacturing process, most of the cell surface is textured first, and then a layer of silicon nitride film with a thickness of 80-100 nm is deposited on the textured surface as an anti-reflection film. In addition, some other wide bandgap thin film materials, such as titanium dioxide, silicon dioxide, etc., can also achieve better anti-reflection effects, see the literature M.A.Green, in: Silicon Solar Cells: Advanced Principles and Practice, Bridge, Sydney, 1995. There are also some reports using a multilayer film structure for antireflection. However, the above method can only realize the anti-re...
