Problems solved by technology

Generally, the thickness of the barrier layer is 3 μm, but even if there is a barrier layer, due to the limited thickness, there will always be considerable heteroatoms such as Fe diffused into the absorber layer, which will reduce the battery efficiency. Therefore, the CIGS battery with stainless steel as the substrate The highest efficiency is 17.4%, which is still far behind the efficiency record of 19.9% ​​for glass substrate CIGS cells

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of a solar cell and provides a preparation method for a silicon dioxide block layer used for an I-III-IV compound solar cell. The preparation method comprises the following steps that: acid catalysis solution of ortho-silicic acid alkyl ester is prepared; the acid catalysis solution of the ortho-silicic acid alkyl ester rests for 0.5-6h, and then NH4OH solution is added into the acid catalysis solution, so as to obtain silica sol; the silica sol is coated on a medium in an isopropanol atmosphere; the medium after being coated with the silica sol is aged continuously in the isopropanol atmosphere for 5-75min and then is soaked into isopropanol solution to be aged, so as to obtain an aged gel membrane; and the aged gel membrane is heated and dried, the heating rate is 10-180 DEG C/s, the aged gel membrane is kept for 10-75min after being heated to the temperature of 150-500 DEG C, so as to obtain the silicon dioxide block layer used for the I-III-IV compound solar cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of solar cells, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a silicon dioxide barrier layer for I-III-IV compound solar cells. Background technique [0002] Typically, I-III-VI compound solar cells are deposited on sodium-containing glass at about 550°C. The highest efficiency of I-III-VI compound solar cells prepared on flexible substrates is copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) solar cells prepared on stainless steel substrates, and its efficiency can reach 17.4%. Kovar alloys (Fe / Ni / Co alloys) are best matched to molybdenum in terms of thermal expansion coefficients, while titanium foils are best matched to CIGS absorber layers. [0003] The efficiency record of flexible I-III-VI compound solar cells is currently based on stainless steel. The reason is mainly because stainless steel is resistant to high temperatures and can be heated to above 1000°C; at the same time, its expansion coefficient is similar ...
