Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of copper indium gallium selenide solar cells, in particular to a solar cell containing an alkali metal-doped copper indium gallium selenide absorbing layer. Background technique [0002] At present, a very important factor restricting the development of copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) thin-film photovoltaic cell industry is the low conversion efficiency of CIGS thin-film photovoltaic modules, which is lower than the conversion efficiency of mainstream crystalline silicon modules in the market. To improve the conversion efficiency of industrially produced CIGS thin-film photovoltaic modules, in addition to improving various process links in the manufacturing process of photovoltaic modules, the core and most fundamental thing is to improve the performance of the CIGS absorber layer, that is, the conversion efficiency of CIGS thin-film cells themselves. [0003] Currently, the commonly used preparation methods fo...
