Problems solved by technology

The value of 5.7% is less than half of the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the CIGS layer formed by vacuum film formation, which proves that the conversion efficiency is an impractical level
It only reports particle synthesis, neither describes the use of the particle as a material for the photoelectric conversion layer, nor describes a specific method for forming the photoelectric conversion layer

Embodiment 1

[0158] Mo lower electrodes were formed on soda-lime glass by RF sputtering. The thickness of the lower electrode was 1.0 μm. Next, the above-mentioned flaky particles P1 were dispersed in an aqueous solution containing 0.3M sodium sulfide at a particle concentration of 30% to prepare a paint, which was applied on the lower electrode and dried at 200°C. After that, a solution of cyclohexanone with Xeonex (manufactured by Zeon Corporation) therein was impregnated into the paint and dried. In this way, CuInS in which a plurality of flake-like particles P1 are arranged in a single layer was obtained 2 photoelectric conversion layer.

[0159] Next, a semiconductor film having a laminated structure is formed as a buffer layer. First, a CdS film was deposited with a thickness of about 50 nm by chemical deposition. The chemical deposition is performed by heating an aqueous solution containing Cd nitrate, thiourea, and ammonium to about 80° C. and dipping the photoelectric conversi...

Embodiment 2

[0162] A photoelectric conversion device was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the particles used were flaky particles P2 instead of flaky particles P1 , and the flaky particles P2 were arranged in four layers. The measured photoelectric conversion efficiency of the device was 12%.

Embodiment 3

[0164] An aluminum alloy 1050 (99.5% Al purity, 0.30 mm thickness) used as a base material was anodized to form an anodized film on each side of the material, and the anodized material was washed and dried, thereby obtaining anodized substrate. The anodized film had a thickness of 9.0 μm (including a barrier layer thickness of 0.38 μm) with pores having a pore diameter of about 100 nm. Anodization was performed using a DC voltage of 40V in a 16°C electrolyte containing 0.5M oxalic acid. A photoelectric conversion layer of the present invention was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that an anodized substrate was used instead of the soda lime glass substrate. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the device was measured to be 13%.

Abstract

A photoelectric conversion semiconductor layer having high photoelectric conversion efficiency is provided at a low cost. Photoelectric conversion semiconductor layer (30X) generates a current by absorbing light and is formed of a particle layer in which a plurality of plate-like particles (31) is disposed only in a plate direction or a sintered body thereof, or a particle layer in which a plurality of plate-like particles (31) is disposed in a plane direction and a thickness direction or a sintered body thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a photoelectric conversion semiconductor layer, a production method thereof, a photoelectric conversion device using the photoelectric conversion semiconductor layer, and a solar cell. Background technique [0002] A photoelectric conversion device having a laminated structure of a lower electrode (back electrode), a photoelectric conversion semiconductor layer that generates current by absorbing light, and an upper electrode is used in various applications such as solar cells and the like. Most conventional solar cells are Si-based cells using bulk monocrystalline Si, polycrystalline Si, or thin-film amorphous Si. Recently, however, research and development have been conducted on compound semiconductor-based solar cells that do not rely on Si. Two types of solar cells based on compound semiconductors are known, one is a bulk system such as a GaAs system, etc., and the other is a thin film system such as CIS (Cu -In-S...
