Abstract

The invention discloses a p-i-n-type antimony selenide thin-film solar cell which comprises, from top to bottom, a top electrode layer, a p-type antimony selenide semiconductor layer, an intrinsic semiconductor i-type layer, an n-type antimony selenide semiconductor layer, and a bottom electrode layer. The structure of the solar cell can reduce the lattice mismatch of a pn-junction interface and reduce the high recombination rate due to the high interfacial defect density. Further, the intrinsic semiconductor i-type layer is inserted into the homogeneous antimony selenide pn junction so that a built-in field can be expanded in the intrinsic semiconductor i-type layer, thereby being beneficial to the separation of photon-generated carrier charges, increasing the collection efficiency of the photon-generated carriers, and further improving the performance of the solar cell. The solar cell is simple in preparation process and suitable for industrial production and application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of solar cells, in particular to a p-i-n type antimony selenide solar cell. Background technique [0002] Antimony Selenide (Sb 2 Se 3 ) is a binary compound with a single and stable phase, large reserves of raw materials, low toxicity, cheap price, suitable band gap (1.0eV-1.35eV), and large absorption coefficient (>10 5 cm -1 ), is an ideal photovoltaic material, and its theoretical photoelectric conversion efficiency can reach more than 30%. The research on antimony selenide thin-film solar cell devices first started in 2014. In just two years, the conversion efficiency has reached 6%. It can be seen that antimony selenide is a photovoltaic material of great research significance. [0003] Currently, the solar cell structures using antimony selenide material as the light absorbing layer reported in the literature mainly include two structures: sensitized solar cells and planar solar cells. In the planar str...
