Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a thin-film solar photovoltaic cell with a copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) nano wire array structure. The method comprises the following steps of: growing a large-area cuprous sulfide or copper sulfide nano wire array by adopting a gas-solid reaction method, and converting the cuprous sulfide or copper sulfide nano wire array into a CIGS nano wire array by physical vapor deposition and heat treatment methods. The component, the phase structure and the energy band structure of the semiconductor nano wire array can be regulated by controlling the categories of deposition elements, the deposition sequence, the deposition process, post treatment and the like, so that solar photovoltaic cells with different structures and properties are prepared. Through the cell, light reflection is reduced, light absorption is increased, the probability of producing current carriers can be increased, the probability of recombination of holes and electrons is reduced, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is greatly improved. The method is low in cost, the preparation processes are controllable, the prepared nano wire array is uniform in structure distribution, and preparation of the nano structural thin-film solar photovoltaic cell with large area and high photoelectric conversion efficiency can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar photovoltaic cells, in particular to a thin-film solar photovoltaic cell with a CIGS nanowire array structure and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the continuous increase of human demand for energy, non-renewable energy such as coal, oil, and natural gas will face a crisis of shortage. In addition, these energy sources also have their own shortcomings. They are easy to cause environmental pollution, acid rain, greenhouse effect and other problems, which threaten the survival and development of human beings. The development and utilization of new energy and renewable energy is imperative. [0003] Solar cells can directly convert solar energy and electrical energy, and are a subject of more concern in the development and utilization of solar energy. Its application can change the current situation of energy shortage and help to reduce the environmental pollution cause...
