Abstract

A method for enhancing the performance of amorphous silicon thin-film solar cells by femtosecond laser etching. The p-i-n structured amorphous silicon thin-film solar cells are fixed on a femtosecond laser micro-nano processing platform, and femtosecond laser pulses pass through a 10-fold objective lens The microscope system is vertically incident and focused on the surface of the n-type amorphous silicon film of the thin-film solar cell; the linearly polarized femtosecond laser pulse will velvet the surface of the n-type amorphous silicon film of the amorphous silicon thin-film solar cell to obtain an efficient p‑i‑n structure amorphous silicon thin film solar cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nanomaterial preparation, in particular to a method for preparing an anti-reflection layer on the surface of a solar cell by a femtosecond laser pulse etching method to enhance the performance of an amorphous silicon thin film solar (a-SiTFSCs) cell. Background technique [0002] At present, environmental pollution and shortage of traditional energy sources (including oil, coal and natural gas) have become two major problems restricting the economic development of countries all over the world. As a device that can directly convert solar radiation light energy into electrical energy, solar cells do not need to consume traditional energy during the photoelectric conversion process, and at the same time, there is no environmental pollution at all. It is a very promising optoelectronic semiconductor. conversion device. At present, the types of solar cells being researched by various countries mainly include ...
