Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a CdTe-based high-efficiency tandem solar cell structure and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Thin-film solar cells are new photovoltaic devices for alleviating the energy crisis, and different materials such as inexpensive ceramics, graphite, and metal sheets can be used as substrates for manufacturing. Against the background of the continuous shortage of silicon raw materials in the international market, thin-film solar cells have become a new trend and hotspot in the development of the international photovoltaic market. Among them, cadmium telluride thin-film solar cells, abbreviated as CdTe cells, are a kind of compound semiconductor thin-film solar cell with CdTe as the light absorption layer, having a band gap of 1.2 - 1.3 eV, a very high absorption coefficient in the visible light wavelength range (600 nm - 1000 nm), high conversion efficiency, and low cost. Pure inorganic perovskite thin-film solar cells are a kind of thin-film solar cell with an organometallic halide semiconductor as the absorption layer, having a band gap of 1.6 - 1.7 eV and a very high absorption coefficient in the short wavelength band (250 - 700 nm).

[0003] Traditional solar thin-film cells are generally single-layered. In the past few years, many manufacturers have used the tandem technology to prepare amorphous silicon thin-film cells, but the amorphous silicon thin-film cells have a serious S-W effect, which cannot be fundamentally solved. In the process of large-area preparation of traditional single-layer thin-film cells such as cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium selenide, gallium arsenide, perovskite, etc., the efficiency improvement is relatively slow, and some main problems are faced: (1) Conduction band offset problem of the SnO2 buffer layer in CdTe cells: There is a 0.3 eV negative offset between the conduction band bottom of unmodified SnO2 (~4.2 eV) and the conduction band bottom of the CdSeTe absorption layer (~4.5 eV), resulting in interface electron accumulation, and the recombination rate reaches 1×10 4 cm / s (verified by TRPL test), restricting the increase of Voc, and Voc < 900 mV; (2) CdTe material defects: Te vacancies (V_Te) and Cd interstitials (Cd_i) form deep-level recombination centers, and the carrier lifetime < 10 ns (calculated by the quasi-Fermi level splitting model); (3) High-temperature process defects: Traditional close-spaced sublimation (CSS) deposition requires 500 - 600 °C, inducing the Te vacancy concentration in the CdTe lattice > 1×10 16 cm -3, and the Sn diffusion depth at the SnO2 / CdTe interface at high temperature is >50 nm (verified by SIMS test Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2021); (4) Compatibility defects of stacked integration: Mechanical stacking leads to a photocurrent loss of 12-18%, while the perovskite precursor solution (such as DMF) in monolithic integration corrodes the CdTe surface, and the roughness increases to >20 nm (AFM verification); (5) Back contact Cu diffusion aggravates leakage current: The Cu diffusion rate along the CdTe grain boundary is 3 orders of magnitude higher than that inside the crystal. When the Cu concentration in the junction area is >1×10 17 cm -3 When , the dark current density increases by 2 orders of magnitude (JV curve fitting).

[0004] Patent US9685218B2 uses CdCl2 annealing (400℃, 20 min) to passivate the grain boundaries, but does not solve the band offset problem, and Voc is limited to 850-880 mV. Patent CN110993214A proposes a ZnTe:Cu back contact layer, but due to the valence band offset between ZnTe and CdTe (~0.4 eV), the hole extraction efficiency is less than 70%. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a CdTe-based high-efficiency laminated solar cell structure and its preparation method, which optimizes the SnO2 energy band through nitrogen ion implantation, increases the carrier lifetime through gradient doping, and relieves stress through quantum dot superlattice, so as to achieve single junction efficiency > 23% and laminate efficiency > 31%. The all-dry process is suitable for industrial production of glass substrates and is suitable for high reliability scenarios.

[0006] To achieve this technical purpose, the present invention adopts the following scheme: A method for preparing a CdTe-based high-efficiency tandem solar cell, preparing a cadmium telluride sub-cell on a substrate, and preparing a perovskite sub-cell on the cadmium telluride sub-cell, specifically comprising the following steps: S1. Provide a substrate and pre-treat the substrate; S2, depositing the FTO layer on the substrate by magnetron sputtering process, and then implanting nitrogen ions to optimize the SnO2 energy band to form the first transparent conductive layer (TCO); S3, growing CdSe on the first transparent conductive layer by using a close space sublimation method (CSS) to form a buffer layer; S4, depositing CdTe on the buffer layer by close-space sublimation method, and gradiently doping Cl and As along the growth direction to form a first light absorption layer; S5, depositing ZnTe:Cu on the first light absorption layer by a magnetron sputtering process, and performing laser annealing to form a back contact layer; S6. Deposit SnO2:Sb on the back contact layer by magnetron sputtering to form a second transparent conductive layer; S7. Deposit CuCrO2:Mg on the second transparent conductive layer by reactive sputtering to form a hole transport layer; S8. Deposit perovskite on the hole transport layer by molecular beam epitaxy and synchronously inject PFDA vapor for passivation to form a second light absorption layer.

[0007] Furthermore, the preferred solution of the present invention is: A preparation method of a CdTe-based high-efficiency tandem solar cell. A cadmium telluride sub-cell is prepared on a substrate, and a perovskite sub-cell is prepared on the cadmium telluride sub-cell, specifically including the following steps: S1. Provide a substrate and perform pretreatment on the substrate for mechanical support and light transmission; in this application, the substrate is soda-lime glass (3 mm), which is ultrasonically cleaned with acetone and isopropyl alcohol for 10 minutes each in sequence, and then dried with nitrogen for standby.

[0008] S2. Deposit an FTO layer with a thickness of 400 - 550 nm (FTO, fluorine-doped tin oxide) on the substrate by magnetron sputtering, with a sheet resistance of 9 - 12 Ω / sq and a substrate temperature of 400 °C; then perform nitrogen ion implantation to optimize the energy band of SnO2 to form a first transparent conductive layer (TCO); the nitrogen ion implantation energy is 50 - 100 keV, and the dose is 1×10 15 ~5×10 16 cm -2 , the vacuum degree is 10 -6 Torr, and the implantation depth is 10 - 30 nm.

[0009] Through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, the work function of SnO2 after nitrogen ion implantation modification is increased to 5.075 eV, and the interface recombination rate is reduced to 5×10 3 cm / s; the theoretical basis is: density functional theory (DFT) calculation shows that N doping introduces oxygen vacancy compensation, the conduction band edge moves down by 0.15 eV, and the energy band matching is optimized.

[0010] The first transparent conductive layer (TCO) collects current as the electrode of the battery, and N ion implantation optimizes the energy band matching with CdTe.

[0011] S3. Grow CdSe on the first transparent conductive layer by close-spaced sublimation to form a buffer layer; during the growth of CdSe, O2 (2% - 5%) doping is introduced, the substrate temperature is 300 °C, and a CdSe layer with a thickness of 120 - 180 nm is deposited, and its interface recombination velocity < 10 3 cm / s.

[0012] The buffer layer can reduce the lattice mismatch at the CdTe / TCO interface, and O doping can passivate surface states and reduce the interface recombination rate.

[0013] S4. Deposit CdTe on the buffer layer by close-spaced sublimation method, and perform gradient doping of Cl (5×10 18 →1×10 17 cm -3 ), As (1×10 17 cm -3 ) along the growth direction to form the first light absorption layer; specifically: Use a customized quartz chamber CSS system, with the temperature of the graphite heater being 580 - 620 °C and the substrate temperature being 380 - 420 °C. Realize gradient doping by segmentally introducing a Cl2 / Ar mixed gas (the proportion of Cl2 is 0.1% - 0.5%), and the deposition rate is 5 - 10 nm / s; low-temperature deposition (<500 °C) can inhibit the lattice distortion of CdTe. Calculated by the Arrhenius equation, the grain boundary diffusion coefficient is reduced by two orders of magnitude, and the defect density is reduced to <10 15 cm -3 .

[0014] Near the FTO side (n + region): Cl2 0.5%, deposit the highly doped layer. The purpose of the high Cl concentration is to passivate interface defects and inhibit interface recombination; Intermediate layer: The Cl2 concentration linearly decreases to 0.1%, deposit the intermediate layer, and the grain boundary density is reduced by >50%; Back contact side (p + region): Introduce AsCl3 vapor (pressure 0.03 - 0.1 Pa), deposit the p + layer. Introduce shallow acceptor levels by As doping to replace Te sites and improve the hole mobility.

[0015] S5. Deposit ZnTe:Cu on the first light absorption layer by magnetron sputtering process, with a deposition thickness of 100 - 200 nm and Cu doping of 2% - 4%; then perform laser annealing at 355 nm (energy density 80 mJ / cm 2 , scanning speed 10 mm / s) to form the back contact layer; Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) shows that after laser annealing, the Cu diffusion depth <5 nm and the contact resistance is reduced by >30%.

[0016] The above is the structure of the cadmium telluride sub-cell, and a perovskite sub-cell is stacked on the cadmium telluride sub-cell.

[0017] S6. Deposit SnO2:Sb on the back contact layer by magnetron sputtering process, with a deposition thickness of 2 ± 1 nm, Sb doping of 5 at%, and a sputtering power of 150 W to form the second transparent conductive layer. At the same time, the second transparent conductive layer is also the electrode; S7. Deposit CuCrO2:Mg on the second transparent conductive layer by reactive sputtering process with a thickness of 3 ± 1 nm, Mg doping of 3 at%, and O2 flow rate of 10% - 20% to form a hole transport layer, which has strong chemical stability, inhibits the migration of Cu ions in ZnTe:Cu, and promotes the transport of holes from the perovskite to the back electrode; Asymmetric tunneling junction: n + - SnO2:Sb (2 ± 1 nm, carrier concentration 5 × 10 20 cm -3 ) and p + -CuCrO2:Mg (3 ± 1 nm, carrier concentration 8 × 10 19 cm -3 ) form a heterojunction. Based on the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation calculation, when the conduction band offset ΔEc = 0.15 eV, the tunneling probability T(E) > 92%; The asymmetric tunneling junction realizes the efficient carrier transport between the upper cell (perovskite sub-cell) and the lower cell (CdTe sub-cell). The asymmetric design (n + / p + heterojunction) optimizes the transport paths of electrons and holes respectively, reducing the recombination loss.

[0018] S8. Deposit perovskite Cs 0.15 FA 0.85 PbI 2.5 Br 0.5 (cesium-formamidinium mixed cation lead halide) on the hole transport layer by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) process, with the substrate temperature of 80 °C, the vacuum degree of 10 -7 Torr, and synchronously inject perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) vapor for passivation, with the vapor pressure of 10 -3 Torr and the passivation time of 30 minutes to form the second light absorption layer. The second light absorption layer, as the top cell absorption layer of the tandem cell, broadens the spectral response range.

[0019] In-situ gas phase passivation: Synchronously inject perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) vapor during the deposition of perovskite (Cs 0.15 FA 0.85 PbI 2.5 Br 0.5 ), and its -CF2 group bonds with the uncoordinated Pb 2+ bond, and the defect density is reduced to 2 × 10 14 cm -3 (verified by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS)).

[0020] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a CdTe-based high-efficiency tandem solar cell structure, formed by the aforementioned preparation method, including a substrate, a cadmium telluride sub-cell prepared on the substrate, and a perovskite sub-cell prepared on the cadmium telluride sub-cell; the structure of the cadmium telluride sub-cell specifically includes: a first transparent conductive layer formed on the substrate, a buffer layer formed on the first transparent conductive layer, a first light absorption layer formed on the buffer layer, and a back contact layer formed on the first light absorption layer; the structure of the perovskite sub-cell specifically includes: a second transparent conductive layer formed on the back contact layer, a hole transport layer formed on the second transparent conductive layer, and a second light absorption layer formed on the hole transport layer.

[0021] Further, the first transparent conductive layer is modified by nitrogen ion implantation. The first light absorption layer is gradient doped with Cl and As along the growth direction.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: By optimizing the energy band of SnO2 through nitrogen ion implantation, improving the carrier lifetime through gradient doping, and alleviating stress through quantum dot superlattice, the single-junction efficiency of the present invention is > 23% and the tandem efficiency is > 31%. The all-dry process is suitable for industrial production on glass substrates and is applicable to high-reliability scenarios.
