Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells and provides an organic solar cell having a cascaded metal grating structure. The organic solar cell comprises a conductive film layer, a hole transport lay, a uniform absorbing layer, a grating layer and a back cathode, which are arranged from top to bottom; the grating layer is a one-dimensional periodic structure formed by arranging aplurality of cascaded gratings with the same structure transversely; each of the cascaded gratings includes a first grating, a second grating, a third grating, and a fourth grating which have the equal period and are arranged in sequence, wherein the grating ridge widths W1, W2, W3, and W4 of the first grating, the second grating, the third grating, and the fourth grating are sequentially increased, and the grating ridge heights of the first grating, the second grating, the third grating, and the fourth grating are equal. The invention improves the absorption efficiency of the solar cell and realizes broad spectrum absorption.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular relates to an organic solar cell with a cascaded metal grating structure. Background technique [0002] In the current photovoltaic application market, crystalline silicon solar cells occupy a dominant position, but multiple factors such as the production cost, efficiency, lifespan and specific application markets of the cells will affect the future market prospects. Compared with traditional crystalline silicon solar cells, organic solar cells have the advantages of being compatible with the fabrication of large-area flexible substrates and capable of roll-to-roll production at lower temperatures to achieve low-cost mass production. hotspot. [0003] In silicon solar cells, micron-scale or sub-micron-scale light-trapping structures are often used to reduce the thickness of the active layer and improve the light absorption capacity of the device. However, the active layer ...
