Problems solved by technology

However, due to the small gaps in the nanostructures on the surface of silicon solar cells on the nanometer surface, it is difficult for the medium of chemical vapor deposition to reach the bottom of the small gaps and cannot completely cover the surface of the cell, so it is difficult to achieve the passivation

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of passivation of a silicon solar battery and discloses a surface low-temperature passivation method for a solar battery. The method comprises the following steps: taking oxygen (O2) or a mixture of water vapor (H2O) and oxygen (O2) as a reaction source, adding a reactant for adjusting the refractive index of a passivation layer, adding a reactant for inhibiting dispersion of a doped substance in a nanostructure and an emitting electrode and finishing preparation of the reaction source; and placing the prepared nano-surface silicon solar battery sample with the nanostructure into a high-pressure reaction kettle, introducing the prepared reaction source into the high-pressure reaction kettle, heating after sealing, dispersing the high-concentration reaction source and allowing the high-concentration reaction source to enter the gap of the surface nanostructure of the nano-surface silicon solar battery, wherein the silicon oxide passivation layer formed by thermal oxidation is completely covered on the surface of the nano-surface silicon, and the nanostructure and the emitting electrode are completely wrapped by the silicon oxide passivation layer. Preparation of the silicon oxide passivation layer can be finished at low temperature, so damage to a prototype device by high temperature is avoided; and dopant is added into the reaction source conveniently, so the refractive index of the passivation layer can be adjusted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of passivation of silicon solar cells, in particular to a low-temperature passivation method for the surface of nano-surface silicon solar cells, which is applicable to various nano-surface silicon solar cells with nano-surfaces. Background technique [0002] As a new low-reflectivity silicon material, nano-surface silicon has ultra-low reflectivity and good broad-spectrum absorption characteristics, and supports large-angle light absorption, so it has huge applications in optoelectronic devices, especially solar cells. prospect. Although the nanostructure on the nanosurface silicon surface reduces the reflection of light, it also increases the surface area of ​​the solar cell, and the excessive recombination centers on the surface intensify the recombination of photogenerated carriers, thus limiting the improvement of conversion efficiency. In order to improve the conversion efficiency of nano-surface sili...
