[0002] Perovskite / silicon tandem solar cells integrate the advantages of both crystalline silicon and perovskite materials, and have the characteristics of high photoelectric conversion efficiency, low production cost, and strong material adjustability. In tandem devices, transparent conductive electrodes play a key role. Their high light transmittance and excellent conductivity can effectively improve light transmittance and charge transfer efficiency, and optimize the photoelectric performance of the device. In addition, transparent conductive electrodes can reduce light absorption losses, enhance the spectral response of tandem devices, and improve overall conversion efficiency.
[0003] At present, perovskite / silicon tandem solar cells often use magnetron sputtered indium zinc oxide (IZO) films as transparent conductive electrodes, with a thickness of 40-70 nm. This thickness range usually has low transmittance for short-wavelength light, resulting in optical losses in the tandem device. In addition, when the thickness of the transparent conductive electrode is small (about 40 nm), its resistivity will be high, affecting the carrier collection efficiency, thereby reducing the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the tandem device. Summary of the invention
[0004] In response to the problems existing in transparent conductive electrodes in stacked devices, the present invention provides a method for regulating the photoelectric parameters of a transparent conductive electrode and its application in stacked solar cells. By subjecting the deposited transparent conductive electrode to humidity and oxygen immersion aging treatment, the resistivity of the transparent conductive electrode is significantly reduced, and the conductivity, carrier migration performance and light transmittance are improved, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the stacked solar cell.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical method adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0006] A method for regulating photoelectric parameters of a transparent conductive electrode is achieved by subjecting the deposited transparent conductive electrode to humidity and oxygen immersion aging treatment; wherein the humidity of the treatment is 3-10%, the oxygen concentration of the treatment is 20-25%, and the aging time of the treatment is 8-12 h.
[0007] Furthermore, the material of the transparent conductive electrode is metal oxide.
[0008] Furthermore, the metal oxide is indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide or indium tungsten oxide (IWO).
[0009] Furthermore, the thickness of the transparent conductive electrode is 40-70 nm.
[0010] Furthermore, the transparent conductive electrode is obtained by magnetron sputtering, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) or pulsed laser deposition (PLD).
[0011] Furthermore, the magnetron sputtering adopts a direct current mode or a radio frequency mode.
[0012] Preferably, when the magnetron sputtering adopts the DC mode, the sputtering rate is 0.23-0.26 Å / s and the vacuum degree is 8.5-9.5×10 -4 Pa, the argon flow rate is 6~10 sccm, and the oxygen flow rate is 0.3~0.5 sccm.
[0013] The present invention also provides the application of the transparent conductive electrode obtained by the photoelectric parameter regulation method in a stacked solar cell.
[0014] Furthermore, the tandem solar cell is a perovskite / silicon tandem solar cell.
[0015] A perovskite / silicon stacked solar cell comprises a silicon heterojunction bottom cell, a hole transport layer, a perovskite absorption layer, an electron transport layer, a buffer layer, a transparent conductive electrode, a positive electrode and an anti-reflection layer stacked in sequence; wherein the transparent conductive electrode is obtained by processing the photoelectric parameter regulation method.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 2. Specifically, on the one hand, under a specific oxygen concentration, the number of oxygen vacancies in the transparent conductive electrode is significantly reduced, which effectively reduces the resistivity of the transparent conductive electrode and improves the conductivity. Specific humidity conditions will also promote the penetration of oxygen into the transparent conductive electrode to further improve the carrier migration characteristics. On the other hand, the introduction of oxygen can fill the film defects of the transparent conductive electrode and reduce light absorption and scattering losses. The auxiliary effect of humidity can further optimize the surface flatness and transparency of the transparent conductive electrode. Then, under the synergistic effect of oxygen and humidity, the light transmittance of the transparent conductive electrode in the visible light and near-infrared bands is significantly improved, so that more light passes through the transparent conductive electrode to enter the light absorption layer, greatly improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the stacked solar cell.

[0104] By comparing the data in Table 1, the following conclusions can be drawn:
[0105] According to the performance data of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 4, it can be known that: compared with the situation where there is only oxygen, only humidity, or no immersion aging treatment of humidity and oxygen concentration in the atmosphere constructed in step 10, the prepared transparent conductive electrode 6 after immersion aging treatment with humidity 5% and oxygen concentration 20%, the open circuit voltage, short circuit current density, fill factor and conversion efficiency of the obtained perovskite / silicon tandem solar cell are greatly improved. It can be seen that the immersion aging treatment with specific humidity and specific oxygen concentration is of great help to improve the overall performance of the obtained perovskite / silicon tandem solar cell.
[0106] According to the performance data of Example 1, Example 3 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that after the prepared transparent conductive electrode 6 is subjected to immersion aging treatment at a humidity of 5% and different oxygen concentrations (20%, 25%), various performances of the obtained perovskite / silicon stacked solar cell are greatly improved.
[0107] According to the performance data of Example 1, Example 4, Example 5, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, it can be known that after the prepared transparent conductive electrode 6 has been immersed and aged at different humidity (3%, 5%, 10%) and oxygen concentration of 20%, various performances of the obtained perovskite / silicon tandem solar cell are greatly improved, but the humidity should not be set too high. When the humidity reaches 20%, the open circuit voltage, fill factor and conversion efficiency of the obtained perovskite / silicon tandem solar cell will be reduced to a certain extent.
[0108] According to the performance data of Example 2 and Comparative Example 5, it can be seen that: when the thickness of the prepared transparent conductive electrode 6 is relatively thin, with a thickness of only 40 nm, after immersion aging treatment at a humidity of 5% and an oxygen concentration of 20%, the open circuit voltage, fill factor and conversion efficiency of the obtained perovskite / silicon stacked solar cell are also greatly improved, indicating that the immersion aging treatment at a specific humidity and a specific oxygen concentration can solve the problem of high resistivity of the traditional thinner transparent conductive electrode 6, which affects the carrier collection efficiency and thus reduces the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the stacked device.
[0109] According to the performance data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 6, it can be seen that: only performing an immersion aging treatment at a specific humidity and a specific oxygen concentration after the transparent conductive electrode 6 is prepared can help to significantly improve the various performances of the obtained perovskite / silicon tandem solar cell, while performing an immersion aging treatment at a specific humidity and a specific oxygen concentration after the perovskite / silicon tandem solar cell is prepared does not significantly improve the various performances of the obtained perovskite / silicon tandem solar cell.
[0110] Figure 2 : The contact resistivity comparison curve of the transparent conductive electrode 6 after immersion aging treatment at 5% humidity and 20% oxygen concentration in Example 1 and the transparent conductive electrode 6 without immersion aging treatment in Comparative Example 4 shows that after immersion aging treatment at 5% humidity and 20% oxygen concentration, the contact resistivity of the transparent conductive electrode 6 increases from 208.4 mΩ•cm to 208.4 mΩ•cm. 2 Reduced to 153.7mΩ•cm 2 , indicating that the immersion aging treatment at a specific humidity and a specific oxygen concentration can help reduce the resistivity of the transparent conductive electrode 6, thereby improving the conductivity and carrier migration performance.
[0111] Figure 3JV curves of the perovskite / silicon tandem solar cells obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 4 show that after immersion aging treatment at a humidity of 5% and an oxygen concentration of 20%, various performances of the obtained perovskite / silicon tandem solar cells are improved.
[0112] Figure 4 The light transmittance curves of the transparent conductive electrode 6 after immersion aging treatment at different humidity (0%, 3%, 5%, 10%, 20%) and oxygen concentration of 20% in Example 1, Example 4, Example 5, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 show that under the condition of oxygen concentration of 20%, compared with not setting humidity conditions, the immersion aging treatment at humidity of 3% to 10% has obvious effects, and the transmittance of the transparent conductive electrode 6 in the visible light and near-infrared regions increases; among them, when the humidity is 5%, the immersion aging treatment has the best effect; however, when the humidity is too high, for example 20%, the immersion aging treatment will have an inhibitory effect on the transmittance of the transparent conductive electrode 6.
