Problems solved by technology

[0004] The fundamental reason why solar energy is difficult to be widely used is limited by the low photoelectric conversion efficiency of current devices and the high manufacturing cost
Although the conversion efficiency of thin-film cells such as monocrystalline silicon cells and CIGS is high, there are bottlenecks such as complicated processes, expensive raw materials, or environmental pollution.
Although dye-sensitized solar cells are relatively simple to manufacture, they face the problems of low conversion efficiency and battery stability.
[0005] In summary, the art lacks a solar cell with high conversion efficiency, stable cell and reasonable manufacturing cost.

preparation example Construction

[0088] The present invention also provides the preparation method of described photoelectric conversion film material, it comprises the following steps:

[0089] i), providing a photoelectric conversion layer with an intermediate energy band;

[0090] ii), building a nano-metal structure layer on the photoelectric conversion layer with intermediate energy band by photolithography or self-assembly method.

[0091] In a specific embodiment, the preparation method of photoelectric conversion thin film material is as follows:

[0092] a), using unequal or non-compensated n-p co-doped TiO 2 Materials to realize functional thin film materials with intermediate energy bands (photoelectric conversion layers with intermediate energy bands);

[0093] b), building nano-metal structures on intermediate energy band materials by photolithography or self-assembly;

[0094] Wherein, in step a), the unequal n-p co-doping method can adopt but not limited to methods such as vapor deposition o...

Embodiment

[0135] Implementation details of the invention will now be described, including exemplary aspects and implementation examples of the invention. see figure 1 As indicated in , the associated numerals and the following description set forth the main features of the exemplary embodiments. Additionally, there is no intention in the legends to depict every feature of actual embodiments or to depict relative dimensions of elements, and the drawings are not drawn to scale.

[0136] The basic concept of manufacturing the described plasmonic enhanced intermediate band solar cells is to sequentially grow figure 1 Materials of construction for each layer shown. That is, epitaxially grow or vapor-deposit the back electrode 2 on the substrate, and then manufacture a complementary thin film, that is, an N-type thin film material (such as TiO 2 or ZnO), P-type intermediate zone film 4 and nano-metal structure 6.

[0137] Appropriate reaction temperature and time are preferred, and approp...
