Problems solved by technology

Its disadvantages are: long time for texturing, large and uneven texturing pyramid, high requirements for the surface state of the original silicon wafer, relatively large chemical consumption, short solution life, poor texturing repeatability, and volatile amount of isopropanol, etc. It is very large, needs to be adjusted continuously, and the operation is difficult, which leads to problems such as high defect rate of texturing appearance and low conversion efficiency of cells
[0004] At present, the size of the pyramid-shaped hillocks obtained after the use of traditional monocrystalline silicon etching and texturing additives can be controlled to only 2-4 μm, which makes it difficult to further reduce the size and increase the density of pyramid-shaped hillocks.
The pyramid-shaped square cone structure on the surface can reflect light multiple times, which not only reduces the reflection loss, but also changes the direction of light in the silicon wafer, prolongs the optical path, and increases the output of photogenerated carriers. The reduction of the reflectivity of the suede surface is conducive to the improvement of the photoelectric conversion performance of the battery, and the surface reflectance of the current suede surface can only reach 10-14%, which is not conducive to the further improvement of the photoelectric conversion rate of the solar cell. The amount of alkali in the cashmere liquid is relatively large, which is not conducive to environmental protection
