Abstract

The invention discloses a thin film solar cell back counter electrode which comprises a substrate, wherein a metal thin film is deposited on the surface of the substrate, a net-type first transparent conductive thin film is deposited on the surface of the metal thin film, and a second transparent conductive thin film is deposited on the surface of the first transparent conductive thin film. According to the thin film solar cell back counter electrode and a preparation method of the thin film solar cell back counter electrode, the net-type first transparent conductive thin film and the second transparent conductive thin film are sequentially deposited on the metal thin film, and therefore an even pyramid-like structure is formed, the transmission of photon-generated carriers inside a thin film solar cell to a back electrode and the transverse conduction of the back electrode are improved, the situation that metal layers inside grooves of the net-type first transparent conductive thin film contact a main body of the thin film solar cell directly is prevented, diffusion is reduced, the defect that when an existing back counter electrode is in a high haze value, the electrical resistivity is over high is effectively overcome, the thin film solar cell back counter electrode is enabled to have good optical performance and good electrical performance at the same time, and the efficiency of the thin film solar cell is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a back-counter electrode of a thin-film solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of society and the improvement of living standards, human beings' demand for energy has increased significantly, and they are more dependent on it. As traditional energy sources, coal, oil, and natural gas can no longer meet the needs of human long-term development. As a new energy source, solar energy is inexhaustible and has the advantages of safety, cleanliness and low cost. Therefore, solar cells are widely used in various technical fields such as life, industry, military, and space, and become the focus of research and development in the energy field. Solar cells include silicon solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, organic solar cells, and compound solar cells. Among them, the research and development of silicon solar cells is the earliest, and the technology is the most mature. Sil...
