Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of solar cell technology, specifically to a metal oxide doped layer, a solar cell, and a method for fabricating the same. Background Technology
[0002] Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells have garnered widespread attention worldwide as a novel type of high-efficiency, low-cost solar cell. In just a few years, the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of single-junction small-area perovskite cells has rapidly increased from 3.8% in 2009 to over 25%, while the PCE of perovskite / silicon heterojunction tandem cells has reached over 29%. This rapid improvement in efficiency has made them a key focus for photovoltaic research institutions and companies.
[0003] Compared to traditional thin-film solar cells (such as copper indium gallium selenide and cadmium telluride), perovskite solar cells offer advantages such as high conversion efficiency, simple fabrication processes, and low-cost potential, making them the most promising thin-film solar cell technology for industrialization. By adjusting the composition ratio of the precursor solution, the cutoff wavelength of the solar cell's spectral response can be tuned, making it the ideal material for the top-cell absorber layer.
[0004] Silicon heterojunction solar cell technology boasts advantages such as simple processing (texturing and cleaning → amorphous silicon deposition → TCO deposition → silver electrode printing), low fabrication temperature (<220℃), high conversion efficiency (>25%), and symmetrical structure (bifacial possible), and is considered the third-generation cell technology after PERC cells. The high infrared absorption, strong low-light effect, and pin-matching structural advantages of silicon heterojunction cells make them one of the best choices for bottom cells. Forming a "perovskite / silicon heterojunction" tandem cell structure by combining a perovskite cell (top cell) and a silicon-based heterojunction cell (bottom cell) can achieve distributed absorption of the solar spectrum, potentially achieving conversion efficiencies exceeding 30%. However, while the composite layer connecting the hole transport layer of the perovskite cell and the emitter of the silicon-based heterojunction cell has a simple process and is suitable for commercial production, its conduction band cannot simultaneously match the conduction band of the emitter of the silicon-based heterojunction cell and the HOMO energy level of the hole transport layer of the perovskite cell, limiting the improvement of the cell's electrical performance.
[0005] Perovskite solar cells can also form a "perovskite / PERC" tandem cell structure with PERC cells to achieve distributed absorption of the solar spectrum. For P-type PERC cells, the composite layer connecting the hole transport layer of the perovskite cell and the emitter of the P-type PERC cell is similar to the "perovskite / silicon heterojunction" tandem cell structure. Its conduction band cannot simultaneously match the conduction band of the emitter of the P-type PERC cell and the HOMO level of the hole transport layer of the perovskite cell. For N-type PERT cells, the composite layer connecting the electron transport layer of the perovskite cell and the emitter of the N-type PERT cell cannot simultaneously match the valence band of the emitter of the N-type PERT cell and the LUMO level of the electron transport layer of the perovskite cell, limiting the improvement of the cell's electrical performance.

[0017] Furthermore, the lower battery layer has an N-type silicon layer, and the first carrier transport layer is a hole transport layer.

[0019] The work function of the second surface of the metal oxide doped layer is consistent with the conduction band of the N-type silicon layer.
[0020] The work function of the metal oxide doped layer gradually increases from the first surface to the second surface.
[0021] Furthermore, the lower battery layer has a P-type silicon layer, and the first carrier transport layer is an electron transport layer.

Detailed Implementation
[0051] The following description illustrates exemplary embodiments of this application, including various details to aid understanding; these should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this application. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description. In this application, the vertical position is determined according to the direction of light incidence, with the point of light incidence being vertical.
[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, this application provides a metal oxide doped layer 117, the work function of which gradually changes from a first surface 1171 on one side to a second surface 1172 on the other side. That is, the work function of the metal oxide doped layer 117 gradually increases or decreases from its first surface 1171 to its second surface 1172.
[0053] In one specific embodiment, on the metal oxide doped layer 117, the work function gradually increases from the first surface 1171 to the second surface 1172.
[0054] In another specific embodiment, on the metal oxide doped layer 117, the work function gradually decreases from the first surface 1171 to the second surface 1172.
[0055] In this application, the metal oxide doped layer 117 includes at least one metal oxide layer 1173 and at least one doped layer 1174 stacked together.
[0056] Specifically, the metal oxide doped layer 117 includes n metal oxide layers 1173 and m doped layers 1174 stacked together, where n and m are integers greater than 1; m and n can be equal or unequal, and when m and n are unequal, the difference between m and n is 1, i.e., m = n ± 1.
[0057] The thickness of the n-layer metal oxide layer 1173 gradually changes;
[0058] The thickness of the doped layer 1174 in the m layer is the same.
[0059] Specifically, the metal oxide layer 1173 and the doped layer 1174 are cross-stacked, and at the junction of the metal oxide layer 1173 and the doped layer 1174, a portion of the material of the doped layer 1174 diffuses into the metal oxide layer 1173.
[0060] When the metal oxide-doped intermediate composite layer 117 is a multilayer stacked structure, the metal oxide-doped intermediate composite layer 117 has two types of stacking order. The first arrangement is that the metal oxide layer and the doped layer are stacked alternately in sequence, and the first surface 171 and the second surface 172 are both metal oxide layers. The second arrangement is that the metal oxide layer and the doped layer are stacked alternately in sequence, and the first surface 171 is a doped layer and the second surface 172 is a metal oxide layer. Preferably, the first surface 171 and the second surface 172 are both metal oxide layers.
[0061] Specifically, in the metal oxide doped layer 117, the thickness of the metal oxide layer 1173 gradually increases or decreases in the direction from the first surface 1171 to the second surface 1172, while the thickness of the doped layer 1174 remains constant. Since some of the doped layer 1174 diffuses into the metal oxide layer 1173 on the side of the metal oxide layer 1173 near the doped layer 1174, the doping concentration in the metal oxide layer 1173 gradually decreases or increases in the direction from the first surface 1171 to the second surface 1172. This results in the work function of the metal oxide doped layer 117 gradually increasing or decreasing in the direction from the first surface 1171 to the second surface 1172.
[0062] In one specific embodiment, as the thickness of the metal oxide layer 1173 in the direction from the first surface 1171 to the second surface 1172 gradually increases, the work function in the direction from the first surface 1171 to the second surface 1172 also gradually increases.
[0063] Specifically, the metal oxide layer 1173 can be one or more of zinc oxide, indium oxide, or titanium oxide; preferably, the metal oxide layer 1173 can be one of zinc oxide, indium oxide, or titanium oxide.
[0064] Specifically, the thickness of the metal oxide layer 1173 can be 0.1-1000 nm, preferably 1-30 nm. For example, it can be 0.1 nm, 1 nm, 10 nm, 20 nm, 30 nm, 40 nm, 50 nm, 60 nm, 70 nm, 80 nm, 90 nm, 100 nm, 150 nm, 200 nm, 250 nm, 300 nm, 350 nm, 400 nm, 450 nm, 500 nm, 550 nm, 600 nm, 650 nm, 700 nm, 750 nm, 800 nm, 850 nm, 900 nm, 950 nm, or 1000 nm.
[0065] Specifically, the doped layer 1174 can be one or more of aluminum oxide, boron oxide, or tin oxide. Preferably, the doped layer 1174 can be one of aluminum oxide, boron oxide, or tin oxide.
[0066] Specifically, the thickness of the doped layer 1174 is 0.1-10 nm, preferably 0.1 nm. For example, it can be 0.1 nm, 0.5 nm, 1 nm, 2 nm, 3 nm, 4 nm, 5 nm, 6 nm, 7 nm, 8 nm, 9 nm or 10 nm.
[0067] In this application, the thickness of the metal oxide doped layer 117 is 10-1000 nm. For example, it can be 10 nm, 20 nm, 30 nm, 40 nm, 50 nm, 60 nm, 70 nm, 80 nm, 90 nm, 100 nm, 150 nm, 200 nm, 250 nm, 300 nm, 350 nm, 400 nm, 450 nm, 500 nm, 550 nm, 600 nm, 650 nm, 700 nm, 750 nm, 800 nm, 850 nm, 900 nm, 950 nm, or 1000 nm.
[0068] In this application, the work function of the metal oxide doped layer 117 is adjusted by modifying the structure and material of the metal oxide doped layer 117, thereby adjusting the work function of the metal oxide doped layer 117 as it gradually changes from the first surface 1171 to the second surface 1172.
[0069] Specifically, adjusting the structure and material of the metal oxide doped layer 117 includes adjusting any one or more of the following: the thickness of the metal oxide layer 1173, the thickness of the doped layer 1174, the material of the metal oxide layer 1173, the material of the doped layer 1174, and the arrangement order of the metal oxide layer 1173 and the doped layer 1174.
[0070] Once the structures of the upper and lower cells are determined (i.e., the HOMO energy level of the first carrier transport layer 121 (hole transport layer) of the perovskite cell and the conduction band of the emitter of the silicon-based heterojunction cell are determined), the work function of the gradually changing work function between the first surface 1171 and the second surface 1172 of the metal oxide doped layer 117 is adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the metal oxide layer 1173, the thickness of the doped layer 1174, the material of the metal oxide layer 1173, the material of the doped layer 1174, and the arrangement order of the metal oxide layer 1173 and the doped layer 1174.
[0071] This application discloses a method for preparing a metal oxide doped layer 117, comprising the following steps:
[0072] The metal oxide layer 1173 and the doped layer 1174 are stacked in a cross manner to form the metal oxide doped layer 117;
[0073] The work function of the metal oxide doped layer 117 gradually changes (increases or decreases) from its first surface 1171 to its second surface 1172.
[0074] Specifically, the metal oxide doped layer includes an n-layer metal oxide layer 1173 and an m-layer doped layer 1174 stacked together, where n and m are integers greater than 1.
[0075] The thickness of the n-layer metal oxide layer 1173 gradually changes;
[0076] The thickness of the doped layer 1174 in the m layer is the same.
[0077] Specifically, this application discloses a method for preparing a metal oxide doped layer 117, comprising the following steps:
[0078] Step 1: Prepare the first metal oxide layer 1173;
[0079] Step 2: Form a first doped layer 1174 on the first metal oxide layer 1173;
[0080] Step 3: Form a second metal oxide layer 1173 on the first doped layer 1174;
[0081] Step 4: Form a second doped layer 1174 on the second metal oxide layer 1173;
[0082] Step 5: Form a third metal oxide layer 1173 on the second doped layer 1174;
[0083] ···
[0084] Step 2n-1: Form the nth metal oxide layer 1173 on the mth doped layer 1174, or form the mth doped layer 1174 on the nth metal oxide layer 1173, thereby forming the metal oxide doped layer 117.
[0085] The side of the first metal oxide layer 1173 that faces away from the first doped layer 1174 is the second surface 1172;
[0086] The side of the nth metal oxide layer 1173 that faces away from the mth doped layer 1174, or the side of the mth doped layer 1174 that faces away from the nth metal oxide layer 1173, is the first surface 1171.
[0087] The work function gradually increases or decreases from the first surface 1171 to the second surface 1172;
[0088] n and m are integers greater than 1.
[0089] In this application, the thicknesses of the first metal oxide layer 1173, the second metal oxide layer 1173, the third metal oxide layer 1173, and the nth metal oxide layer 1173 gradually decrease or increase.
[0090] The first doped layer 1174, the second doped layer 1174, and the m-th doped layer 1174 have the same thickness.
[0091] In this application, the first metal oxide layer 1173, the second metal oxide layer 1173, the third metal oxide layer 1173, and the nth metal oxide layer 1173 are all selected from zinc oxide, indium oxide, or titanium oxide layers.
[0092] The first doped layer 1174, the second doped layer 1174, and the m-th doped layer 1174 are all selected from aluminum oxide, boron oxide, or tin oxide.
[0093] Specifically, when the first metal oxide layer 1173, the second metal oxide layer 1173, the third metal oxide layer 1173, and the nth metal oxide layer 1173 are all zinc oxide layers, and the first doped layer 1174, the second doped layer 1174, and the mth doped layer 1174 are all boron oxide layers, the prepared metal oxide doped layer 117 is a boron-doped zinc oxide layer (BZO layer) with a gradually changing work function.
[0094] The metal oxide doped layer 117 (BZO layer) prepared using ALD enables photogenerated carriers to travel from the perovskite layer to the silicon heterojunction. Specifically, the metal oxide doped layer 117 (BZO layer) is prepared by simultaneously using three sources: diethylzinc, water, and diborane. Diethylzinc and water sources generate the predominant zinc oxide, while water and diborane sources generate boron oxide as dopant. The doping concentration is varied by controlling the number of depositions of zinc oxide and boron oxide.
[0095] To be more specific:
[0096] In step one, a zinc oxide layer with a thickness of 0.a nm is formed by depositing a two-source mixture of diethylzinc and water for a total of a cycle.
[0097] In step two, b cycles of deposition using both water and diborane sources are used on one side surface of the zinc oxide layer to form a boron oxide layer with a thickness of 0.b nm;
[0098] In step three, a zinc oxide layer with a thickness of 0.c nm is formed by depositing c cycles of diethylzinc and water on one side surface of the boron oxide layer.
[0099] In step four, b cycles of deposition using both water and diborane sources are used on one side surface of the zinc oxide layer to form a boron oxide layer with a thickness of 0.bnm;
[0100] In step five, a zinc oxide layer with a thickness of 0.d nm is formed by depositing d cycles of diethylzinc and water on one side surface of the boron oxide layer.
[0101] ···
[0102] In step 2n-1, g cycles of deposition using diethylzinc and water sources are used on one side of the m-th boron oxide layer to form a zinc oxide layer with a thickness of 0.g nm, thereby obtaining a metal oxide doped layer 117, in which the values of a, c, d and g gradually increase or decrease.
[0103] Specifically, when the first metal oxide layer 1173, the second metal oxide layer 1173, the third metal oxide layer 1173, and the nth metal oxide layer 1173 are all zinc oxide layers, and the first doped layer 1174, the second doped layer 1174, and the mth doped layer 1174 are all aluminum oxide, the prepared metal oxide doped layer 117 is an aluminum-doped zinc oxide layer (AZO layer) with a gradually changing work function.
[0104] The metal oxide doped layer 117 (AZO layer) prepared using ALD enables photogenerated carriers to travel from the perovskite layer to the silicon heterojunction. Specifically, it utilizes three sources simultaneously: diethylzinc, water, and trimethylaluminum. The diethylzinc and water sources generate the predominant zinc oxide, while the water and trimethylaluminum sources generate aluminum oxide as dopant. The doping concentration is altered by controlling the number of zinc oxide and aluminum oxide depositions. The specific preparation method for this metal oxide doped layer 117 can be found above.
[0105] Specifically, when the first metal oxide layer 1173, the second metal oxide layer 1173, the third metal oxide layer 1173, and the nth metal oxide layer 1173 are all zinc oxide layers, and the first doped layer 1174, the second doped layer 1174, and the mth doped layer 1174 are all tin oxide layers, the prepared metal oxide doped layer 117 is a tin-doped zinc oxide layer (TZO layer) with a gradually changing work function.
[0106] The TZO layer prepared using ALD enables photogenerated carriers to travel from the perovskite layer to the silicon heterojunction. Specifically, it utilizes three sources simultaneously: diethylzinc, water, and tetra(dimethylamino)tin. The diethylzinc and water sources generate the predominant zinc oxide, while the water and tetra(dimethylamino)tin sources generate doped tin oxide. The doping concentration is altered by controlling the number of zinc oxide and tin oxide depositions. The specific preparation method for this metal oxide doped layer 117 can be found above.
[0107] The metal oxide doped layer 117 prepared by the method described in this application is the aforementioned metal oxide doped layer 117. Therefore, the specific parameters of the metal oxide doped layer 117 prepared by this method can be referred to the aforementioned description of the metal oxide doped layer 117.
[0108] This application provides a solar cell, comprising an upper cell, a metal oxide doped layer 117, and a lower cell stacked sequentially from top to bottom. The metal oxide doped layer 117 is located between the upper and lower cells. Since the work function of the metal oxide doped layer 117 gradually increases or decreases from its first surface 171 to its second surface 172, the gradually changing work function can be matched with both the upper and lower cells, facilitating charge transfer between them and thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the solar cell.
[0109] Specifically, this application provides three types of tandem solar cells for illustration: perovskite / silicon heterojunction solar cells, perovskite / P-type PERC tandem solar cells, and perovskite / N-type PERT tandem solar cells.
[0110] The first is perovskite / silicon-based heterojunction solar cells.
[0111] like Figure 1 As shown, the perovskite / silicon heterojunction solar cell of this application includes an upper cell, a metal oxide doped layer 117, and a lower cell stacked sequentially from top to bottom. The upper cell includes a front transparent conductive layer 124, a second carrier transport layer 123, a perovskite absorber layer 122, and a first carrier transport layer 121 stacked sequentially from top to bottom. The lower cell includes an N-type silicon layer 116 (which can be an N-type amorphous silicon layer or an N-type microcrystalline silicon layer), a second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 115, an N-type crystalline silicon substrate, a first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 113, a P-type silicon layer 112 (which can be a P-type amorphous silicon layer or a P-type microcrystalline silicon layer), and a back transparent conductive layer 111 stacked sequentially from top to bottom. The solar cell comprises, from top to bottom, a front transparent conductive layer 124, a second carrier transport layer 123, a perovskite absorber layer 122, a first carrier transport layer 121, a metal oxide doped layer 117, an N-type silicon layer 116, a second intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 115, an N-type crystalline silicon substrate, a first intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 113, a P-type silicon layer 112, and a back transparent conductive layer 111. A metal electrode 131 is disposed on the surface of the front transparent conductive layer 124 opposite to the second carrier transport layer 123, and a metal electrode 131 is disposed on the surface of the back transparent conductive layer 111 opposite to the P-type silicon layer 112.
[0112] Both the front transparent conductive layer 124 and the back transparent conductive layer 111 are used to collect charge carriers and transport them to the metal electrode 131. The front transparent conductive layer 124 can be an ITO layer, an IWO layer, an IZO layer, an ITiO layer, etc., including but not limited to these.

[0119] The P-type silicon layer 112 is prepared by PECVD and can form the back electric field of a silicon heterojunction solar cell.
[0120] In this application, the first surface 1171 of the metal oxide doped layer 117 is stacked with the first carrier transport layer 121, and the second surface 1172 of the metal oxide doped layer 117 is stacked with the N-type silicon layer 116.
[0121] More specifically, the first carrier transport layer 121 is a hole transport layer, and the second carrier transport layer 123 is an electron transport layer. That is, the first surface 1171 of the metal oxide doped layer 117 is stacked with the hole transport layer, and the second surface 1172 of the metal oxide doped layer 117 is stacked with the N-type silicon layer 116.
[0122] In existing perovskite / silicon heterojunction tandem solar cells, a total charge transport layer (TCO) is typically fabricated on a-Si:H(n+) as the composite layer, with inorganic materials such as MoOx, NiOx, and Cu2O used as the hole transport layer. When fabricating the TCO as the composite layer, materials such as BZO, AZO, ITO, FTO, IWO, and IZO can be selected. Most TCO materials can be fabricated using methods such as magnetron sputtering or reactive plasma deposition. The conduction band of a-Si:H(n+) is approximately -3.7 eV, and the HOMO energy level of the hole transport layer of inorganic materials is approximately -5.3 eV. The work function of TCO materials is generally between -4.0 and -5 eV, falling between -3.7 eV and -5.3 eV, which allows for charge transport. However, the conduction band of a single TCO material is a fixed value, and charge tends to accumulate at the interface during transport, leading to recombination losses and affecting the cell's electrical performance. In this application, the work function of the first surface 1171 of the metal oxide doped layer 117 is consistent with the HOMO energy level of the hole transport layer, and the work function of the second surface 1172 of the metal oxide doped layer 117 is consistent with the conduction band of the N-type silicon layer 116. In this embodiment, since the work function of the metal oxide doped layer 117 gradually increases from the first surface 1171 to the second surface 1172, the charge transport between the hole transport layer and the N-type silicon layer 116 is smooth and will not accumulate at the interface, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the solar cell. Therefore, the performance of the solar cell is better.
