Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solar photovoltaic cells, in particular to a method for preparing a CIGS (copper indium gallium selenide) solar photovoltaic cell. Background technique [0002] At present, the country vigorously advocates the development of green and renewable energy. CIGS-based solar photovoltaic cells are one of them, which have many advantages: the highest photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar photovoltaic thin film cells; excellent stability and normal working life; easy low-cost large-scale commercial chemical production. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of CIGS cells is closely related to the preparation method of the cells. On the one hand, the existing preparation method consumes a lot of raw materials and the production cost is high; on the other hand, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery is low and the repeatability is poor; moreover, toxic cadmium compounds are used in the batt...
