Embodiment 3

[0061] The surface of the mica substrate 2-1 cleaned with micro-90 is prepared by a chemical vapor deposition method to prepare a graphene transparent conductive electrode layer 2-2. The graphene growth method is as follows: prepare graphene in a tube furnace by chemical vapor deposition, put 0.5mm thick Cu foil into the tube furnace, and then heat the tube furnace to 1000°C, and pass methane and hydrogen into it. Keep it at 1000°C for 15 minutes to obtain the required graphene. Then transfer the graphene to polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) through a solution of ferric chloride and hydrochloric acid. After placing the graphene on the mica substrate 2-1, dissolve the polymethyl methacrylate through acetone To obtain a 0.3 nm thick transparent conductive electrode layer 2-2 on the mica substrate 2-1. Then, the mica substrate 2-1 deposited with the transparent conductive electrode layer 2-2 was put into the vacuum chamber of the magnetron sputtering device and heated to 600°C. Vac...

Abstract

The invention discloses a CdTe solar cell with a p-i-n structure. The CdTe solar cell comprises a substrate, a transparent conductive electrode layer, a CdS n-type semiconductor layer, a CdTe intrinsic light absorption layer, a broad-band gap ternary II-VI group semiconductor p<+> layer, a ZnO:Al or In2O3:Sn n<+> layer and a metal electrode layer sequentially from the bottom up. The CdTe solar cell with the p-i-n structure is prepared by low-temperature magnetron sputtering.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a CdTe solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] As a kind of clean energy, solar energy is rich, easily accessible, renewable and pollution-free. The effective use of solar energy, especially the effective use of photovoltaic solar cells, is expected to solve the global energy shortage, environmental pollution, and climate warming. And other issues. Solar cells must reduce costs if they want to replace traditional energy sources. Thin-film solar cells have the advantages of low material consumption, low cost, and easy large-area production. They have become the key research and development and production cells in the solar photovoltaic industry. Among thin-film solar cells, amorphous silicon (a-Si), copper indium gallium selenium (CIGS) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells have been produced on an industrial scale. CdTe solar cells are currently one of the best, high-efficiency, low-cost phot...
