[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides a photovoltaic module, which includes a heterojunction cell 010 without a TCO layer on the front side.
[0068] The heterojunction cell 010 without a TCO layer on the front side comprises a silicon substrate 100, a first passivation layer 210, a first doping layer 220, a second passivation layer 310, a second doping layer 320, an anti-reflection recombination layer 230, a transparent conductive layer 330, a first electrode 410 and a second electrode 420, wherein the silicon substrate 100 has a first surface and a second surface that are opposite to each other; the first passivation layer 210 is deposited on the first surface; the first doping layer 220 is deposited on a side of the first passivation layer 210 that is away from the silicon substrate 100; The anti-reflection recombination layer 230 is deposited on the side of the first doped layer 220 away from the first passivation layer 210; the second passivation layer 310 is deposited on the second surface; the second doped layer 320 is deposited on the side of the second passivation layer 310 away from the silicon substrate 100; the transparent conductive layer 330 is deposited on the side of the second doped layer 320 away from the second passivation layer 310; the first electrode 410 is arranged on the anti-reflection recombination layer 230 and contacts the first doped layer 220; the second electrode 420 is arranged on the transparent conductive layer 330.
[0069] The front side of the heterojunction battery 010 without TCO layer has the TCO (transparent conductive layer) removed, and only the transparent conductive layer 330 is retained on the back side, so that the contact resistance between the front TCO and the first doping layer 220 is erased, and the excellent majority carrier conductivity of the first doping layer 220 under light, and the low contact resistivity of the first electrode 410 disposed on the anti-reflection composite film and the first doping layer 220 are used to ensure low series resistance and high fill factor, and ensure the high conversion efficiency of the heterojunction battery 010 without TCO layer on the front side. In addition, the removal of the front TCO layer can also reduce parasitic absorption, reduce the loss of light energy, and improve the light transmittance and the short-circuit current of the battery.
[0070] Furthermore, the anti-reflection composite layer 230 includes a silicon oxide protective layer 231 and an anti-reflection layer 232, the silicon oxide protective layer 231 is deposited on the side of the first doping layer 220 away from the first passivation layer 210, and the anti-reflection layer 232 is deposited on the side of the silicon oxide protective layer 231 away from the first doping layer 220; the first electrode 410 is arranged on the anti-reflection layer 232, and passes through the anti-reflection layer 232 to contact the silicon oxide protective layer 231 and the first doping layer 220.
[0071] By setting the silicon oxide protective layer 231, it is possible to prevent the first electrode 410 from entering the first passivation layer 210 or even entering the silicon substrate 100, thereby effectively improving the problem of deterioration of passivation quality when TCO is cancelled on the front side of the heterojunction battery; moreover, the silicon oxide protective layer 231 has an electron selective contact effect (when light is irradiated onto the battery, photons are absorbed and electron-hole pairs are generated. The role of electron selective contact is to ensure that these photogenerated electrons can be efficiently transmitted from the light absorption layer of the battery to the electrode, while reducing the recombination of electrons and holes during the transmission process, thereby reducing energy loss), which helps to improve the performance of the battery, especially to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and fill factor.
[0072] The provision of the anti-reflection layer 232 can improve the adverse effects on the heterojunction cell caused by the elimination of TCO on the front side, that is, the anti-reflection layer 232 can be used to ensure that more light can penetrate the surface of the cell and be absorbed, so as to improve the conversion efficiency of the cell. Moreover, since more light can be absorbed, it can also directly lead to an increase in the short-circuit current density (Isc) of the cell. The parasitic absorption performance of the anti-reflection layer 232 is better than that of TCO, that is, the anti-reflection layer 232 has lower parasitic performance, and can also ensure that the cell has a higher short-circuit current density (Isc) and conversion efficiency.
[0073] Optionally, the silicon oxide protective layer 231 is SiO x Layer, for example: SiO 2 etc., which are not specifically limited here. SiO x The SiO layer can effectively prevent the metal ions of the first electrode 410 from entering the first passivation layer 210 and the silicon substrate 100 to prevent the passivation effect from deteriorating. x The layer has good electron selective contact effect.
[0074] Further, the thickness of the silicon oxide protective layer 231 is 1-5 nm, for example, 1 nm, 1.2 nm, 1.5 nm, 1.8 nm, 2 nm, 2.3 nm, 2.5 nm, 2.8 nm, 3 nm, 3.2 nm, 3.5 nm, 3.8 nm, 4 nm, 4.2 nm, 4.5 nm, 4.7 nm, 5 nm, etc., which are not specifically limited here. By setting a thinner silicon oxide protective layer 231, the purpose of preventing the passivation layer from deteriorating can be achieved.
[0075] Optionally, the anti-reflection layer 232 is SiN x Layer, for example: Si 3 N 4 etc., which are not specifically limited here. x As the anti-reflection layer 232, the excellent parasitic absorption performance and anti-reflection performance of the material can be fully utilized to improve the conversion efficiency and short-circuit current density of the battery.
[0076] Of course, in other embodiments, the anti-reflection layer 232 may also be made of aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 )、MgO、MgF 2 ), zinc sulfide (ZnS), zinc oxide (ZnO), strontium titanate (SrTiO 3 ), calcium fluoride (CaF 2 ) etc., are not specifically limited here.
[0077] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The anti-reflection layer 232 includes a first anti-reflection film 2321 , a second anti-reflection film 2322 and a third anti-reflection film 2323 stacked in sequence, wherein the first anti-reflection film 2321 is disposed on a side of the silicon oxide protective layer 231 away from the first doping layer 220 . The setting of the multilayer anti-reflection film includes the following beneficial effects: 1. It is conducive to achieving a wider spectral range design, so as to achieve anti-reflection of light from the ultraviolet to near-infrared bands, thereby improving the light absorption efficiency in the entire spectral range; 2. It is conducive to reducing light reflection at different incident angles, and is conducive to improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery at different times and seasons of the day; 3. It can reduce the parasitic absorption of the anti-reflection film itself, ensuring that more light energy is absorbed by the active layer of the battery rather than lost in the anti-reflection layer 232; 4. The multilayer structure can provide better surface quality and reduce surface defects, thereby reducing the recombination of carriers on the surface and improving the open circuit voltage of the battery; 5. The multilayer anti-reflection film is conducive to providing additional physical and chemical stability, reducing the impact of environmental factors (such as moisture and pollution) on the battery, and improving the long-term performance and reliability of the battery; 6. The stacked anti-reflection film can optimize the interface matching between the battery surface and the air, reduce reflection and scattering, and at the same time reduce the interface reflection between the internal layers, thereby improving the transmission efficiency of the carriers.
[0078] Furthermore, the refractive indexes of the first anti-reflection film 2321, the second anti-reflection film 2322 and the third anti-reflection film 2323 decrease successively, wherein the refractive index of the first anti-reflection film 2321 is 2.3~2.8 (for example: 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, etc., not specifically limited herein), the refractive index of the second anti-reflection film 2322 is 2.1~2.4 (for example: 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, etc., not specifically limited herein), and the refractive index of the third anti-reflection film 2323 is 1.8~2.2 (for example: 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, etc., not specifically limited herein). Such an arrangement minimizes the refractive index of the top anti-reflection film, which is conducive to forming a smaller refractive index difference between the top anti-reflection film and the air, so as to reduce the reflection of the incident light at this interface; the gradient refractive index between multiple anti-reflection film layers can reduce the reflection of light at each interface, ensuring that more light can penetrate into the battery; the use of multi-layer anti-reflection film layers with gradient refractive index can also improve the light absorption efficiency in the entire spectral range, reduce light reflection at different incident angles, and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery under different lighting conditions; moreover, when light is reflected outward from the silicon substrate 100, this multi-layer structure with decreasing refractive index from bottom to top can also reduce internal reflection, help capture more light inside the battery, and improve light absorption efficiency.
[0079] It should be noted that the refractive index of each of the above anti-reflection films can be controlled by changing the silicon-nitrogen ratio, and the higher the silicon content, the greater the refractive index.
[0080] Optionally, the thickness of the first anti-reflection film 2321 is 10-35nm (for example: 10nm, 12nm, 15nm, 18nm, 20nm, 22nm, 25nm, 28nm, 30nm, 33nm, 35nm, etc., not specifically limited herein), the thickness of the second anti-reflection film 2322 is 10-35nm (for example: 10nm, 12nm, 15nm, 18nm, 20nm, 22nm, 25nm, 28nm, 30nm, 33nm, 35nm, etc., not specifically limited herein), and the thickness of the third anti-reflection film 2323 is 20-55nm (for example: 20nm, 22nm, 25nm, 28nm, 30nm, 33nm, 35nm, 37nm, 40nm, 43nm, 45nm, 47nm, 50nm, etc., not specifically limited herein).
[0081] Furthermore, the thicknesses of the first anti-reflection film 2321, the second anti-reflection film 2322 and the third anti-reflection film 2323 increase in sequence. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the thickness and refractive index of each anti-reflection film match.
[0082] Optionally, the thickness of the first doping layer 220 is 20-60 nm, for example, 20 nm, 30 nm, 40 nm, 50 nm, 60 nm, etc., which is not specifically limited here; the thickness of the second doping layer 320 is 15-45 nm, for example, 15 nm, 20 nm, 25 nm, 30 nm, 35 nm, 40 nm, 45 nm, etc., which is not specifically limited here. By optimizing the thickness of the doping layer, a good passivation effect can be ensured.
[0083] Furthermore, the thickness of the first doping layer 220 is greater than the thickness of the second doping layer 320. The first doping layer 220 is the front doping layer of the heterojunction battery, and the second doping layer 320 is the back doping layer of the heterojunction battery. In this way, the first doping layer 220 can be used to ensure the passivation quality, and the lateral conduction of the first doping layer 220 can be fully utilized to replace the TCO for conduction when the front TCO is removed, thereby ensuring good conversion efficiency and high fill factor of the heterojunction battery.
[0084] Moreover, setting the front doping layer of the heterojunction battery thicker than the back doping layer also includes the following beneficial effects: 1. Carrier collection efficiency: A thicker front doping layer can ensure the concentration gradient of the doping layer, so that it can collect photogenerated electrons more effectively, reduce the chance of electron recombination before reaching the front electrode, improve the electron collection efficiency, and help improve the short-circuit current (Isc) and fill factor (FF) of the battery; 2. Electric field optimization: A thicker front doping layer helps to form a stronger electric field, which is conducive to the rapid separation and directional transmission of photogenerated carriers, reduces the recombination of carriers at the interface, and thus improves the open circuit voltage (Voc) of the battery; 3. Current density improvement: Increasing the thickness of the front doping layer can reduce surface recombination and increase the carrier transmission rate, thereby increasing the current density of the battery and improving the overall efficiency; 4.

[0209] By comparing the embodiment and comparative example 6, it can be seen that when the thickness of the front doping layer is less than 20 nm, it is difficult to improve the short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, fill factor and conversion efficiency.
