The cell has efficient photovoltaic conversion efficiency in the ultra-wide spectrum range from ultraviolet to infrared, and has the advantages of low cost, simple process, high specific efficiency and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention is specifically an ultra-broadband absorption heterojunction solar cell. Belonging to the technical field of solar cell manufacturing, Background technique [0002] With the depletion of fossil energy, solar cell technology has developed rapidly, and is expected to replace traditional fossil energy and become the mainstream energy in the future. In the research of solar cells, higher efficiency and lower cost cells are an eternal theme. Traditional solar cells, mainly made of semiconductor raw materials, need to be doped to form a PN junction, but solar cells based on PN junctions are difficult to realize the energy utilization and conversion of photons with energy lower than the semiconductor band gap, which not only limits the improvement of the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell , but also cause aging or even rupture of solar cells due to the thermal effect of infrared light. In addition, in the processing of traditiona...
