Abstract

The invention discloses a cadmium telluride nanocrystalline solar cell and a preparation method thereof. The solar cell comprises a substrate, and a cathode layer, a cathode interface layer, a windowlayer, a photoactive layer, an anode interface layer and an anode layer which are stacked on the substrate in sequence, wherein the anode interface layer is a Spiro-OMeTAD film with the thickness ranging from 170nm to 240nm or a poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2, 4, 6-trimethylphenyl)amine] film with the thickness ranging from 10nm to 40nm. The solar cell is advantaged in that by introducing an organic material as a hole transport layer, recombination of carriers is effectively reduced, the electric leakage phenomenon is ameliorated, compared with a traditional inverted solar cell, the short-circuit current and the open-circuit voltage are improved, and performance of devices is improved. An all-solution method is adopted for processing, cost is low, manufacturing is easy and convenient, and large-scale production is expected to achieve.
