Abstract

The invention discloses a cadmium telluride solar battery provided with a tellurium-molybdenum multilayer composite thin film and belongs to the field of new energy materials and devices. According to the solar battery, the tellurium-molybdenum multilayer composite thin film is adopted as a copper-free transition layer of the cadmium telluride solar battery. On one hand, due to the fact that the transition layer has the precipitated phase of tellurium, there is no need to obtain a tellurium-enriched layer through a wet process after cadmium telluride is annealed; even if a dry process is adopted, independent deposition of a tellurium layer is not needed. On the other hand, the transition layer has the principal phase of molybdenum telluride and serves as a p-type semiconductor, and the discontinuity between the transition layer and a cadmium telluride valence band is little, so the transition layer can play a good transition role, and ohmic contact between the cadmium telluride and a metal electrode is achieved. By the adoption of the structure, the solar battery avoids chemical corrosion and achieves low-resistance contact, the performance of the solar battery can be effectively improved, and the long-term stability of a device is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of new energy materials and devices, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a cadmium telluride thin film solar cell. Background technique [0002] Using semiconductor technology to directly convert solar energy into electrical energy and realize solar photovoltaic power generation will play a vital role in alleviating the depletion of fossil energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. For more than a decade, some major countries in the world have been actively developing compound thin-film solar cells, such as copper indium selenium solar cells, cadmium telluride solar cells, and new dye-sensitized solar cells. On the one hand, the adoption of thin-film technology effectively reduces production costs; on the other hand, the improvement of its photoelectric conversion efficiency also reduces production costs. These compound thin-film solar cells, especially the research and development of cadmium tell...
