Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem, in particular to a perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem cell and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The highest laboratory conversion efficiency of single-crystal silicon cells has reached 27.09%, close to the theoretical limit of 29.4%, and the future efficiency improvement space is small. In order to break through the efficiency ceiling, perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem cells have become one of the new directions of photovoltaic technology revolution. The perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem cell formed by stacking crystalline silicon cells and perovskite cells has a theoretical conversion efficiency of 43%, and the highest laboratory conversion efficiency has reached 33.9%. The perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem cell has a significantly higher theoretical efficiency and laboratory efficiency than the single-crystal silicon cell.

[0003] The tandem cell needs to use an intermediate series layer to exchange carriers between the top and bottom cells, so the photoelectric performance will directly affect the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the tandem cell.

[0004] The intermediate series layer usually uses a transparent conductive oxide film layer or an n / p type silicon-based tunneling junction. Using an n / p type silicon-based tunneling junction as an intermediate series layer, due to the process conditions, the n / p type silicon-based tunneling junction has a high tunneling barrier, which makes the carrier tunneling probability low, the density of defect states at the interface is low, and the carrier exchange rate is low, increasing the recombination loss of photo-generated carriers, thereby causing high electrical loss at the tunneling junction in the solar cell. Using a TCO composite junction as an intermediate series layer, there is a Schottky barrier between the TCO film layer and the doped silicon layer, and the barrier height is greatly affected by the effective doping concentration and the band gap of the doped silicon layer, which easily leads to a too high interface contact resistance, causing an increase in the series resistance of the cell and a decrease in the fill factor. In addition, too high a barrier height will cause the depletion layer thickness in the doped silicon layer to be too large, affecting the open-circuit voltage of the cell, and ultimately reducing the conversion efficiency of the cell.

[0005] In view of this, the present inventors have carried out in-depth research on this demand, and thus the present application is produced. SUMMARY
