Abstract

The invention discloses a gallium arsenide / carbon nanotube heterojunction ultrathin solar cell structure and preparation thereof. The gallium arsenide / carbon nanotube heterojunction ultrathin solar cell structure is composed of a back reflection layer, N-type gallium arsenide, a P-type single-walled carbon nanotube, a graphical gold electrode, an antireflection layer and the like. The solar cell is prepared by the following steps of: (1) preparing a back reflection layer consisting of a graphical nickel-germanium gold electrode and a dielectric layer array on the surface of ultrathin epitaxialgrowth N-type gallium arsenide by using a photoetching technology; (2) stripping the ultrathin N-type gallium arsenide deposited with the back reflection layer from the surface of the substrate by adopting a stripping process, and placing the ultrathin N-type gallium arsenide upwards; and (3) preparing a P-type single-walled carbon nanotube film by spin coating, and sequentially depositing a graphical gold electrode and an antireflection layer. According to the invention, gallium arsenide and the single-walled carbon nanotube simultaneously contribute photocurrent, and the transport distanceof photon-generated carriers is shortened by using an ultrathin depletion layer between gallium arsenide and the single-walled carbon nanotube. Meanwhile, the photon absorption length is increased through the graphical back electrode and the dielectric material array, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and relates to a gallium arsenide / carbon nanotube heterojunction ultra-thin solar cell structure and preparation, in particular to a method using ultra-thin N-type gallium arsenide and P-type single-walled carbon nanotubes Construction of ultra-thin solar cells and methods for their preparation. Background technique [0002] The core of the preparation of traditional high-efficiency solar cells represented by gallium arsenide and silicon lies in the preparation of PN structures, which usually require complex growth processes and doping processes, which put forward relatively stringent requirements for production equipment and process conditions. The development, production and large-scale application of solar cells based on gallium arsenide-based III-V compound semiconductor materials are severely restricted. Studies have shown that when carbon nanotubes are directly combined with N-type gal...
