Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor electrodes, and in particular relates to a silicon-based semiconductor PN junction structure and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] As one of the most abundant and inexhaustible sources of energy, solar energy is a promising solution to the energy crisis. At present, the use of solar cells to generate electricity, or the use of solar-based photocatalytic water splitting to produce hydrogen are ideal ways to obtain energy in the future, and have broad development and application prospects. In the design of photoelectrodes, semiconductor materials with excellent light-absorbing ability, electron-transporting ability, and high stability and fewer defects are required as substrates to obtain greater photoelectric conversion efficiency. Single crystal silicon material has excellent light absorption ability (wavelength less than 930nm), charge transfer ability (...
