The perovskite absorber layer 60 includes at least two stacked perovskite absorber layers with different band gaps, and the perovskite absorber layer closer to the hole transport layer 70 has a lower band gap.

[0033] This application establishes a perovskite absorption layer comprising at least two stacked perovskite absorption layers with different band gaps. The perovskite absorption layer closer to the hole transport layer has a lower band gap, which helps optimize the absorption of the solar spectrum, especially better utilizing the red light band, thereby improving the overall photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery. Quantum dot-level CsPbCl3 serves as a passivation layer, effectively passivating the interface between the perovskite layer and the electron transport layer, reducing non-radiative recombination, increasing carrier lifetime and diffusion length, and thus improving the open-circuit voltage. The synergistic effect between the hole transport layer and the silicon substrate enhances hole transport efficiency and mobility. The positional relationship between the layers in this application further improves the photoelectric performance of the battery and reduces interface defects and charge recombination problems.

[0052] Because Cs, CH(NH2)2 and CH3NH3 at the A site and Cl, Br and I at the X site can combine to form different perovskite structures, this diversity allows perovskite materials to have an adjustable band gap.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the above-mentioned stacked battery also includes a first conductive layer 20 and a second conductive layer 30 stacked together. The first conductive layer 20 and the second conductive layer 30 are located between the first electrode 10 and the electron transport layer 40, and the first conductive layer 20 is close to the first electrode 10.

[0060] To further optimize the rapid electron transport and reduce contact resistance, in some embodiments of this application, the material of the first conductive layer is selected from any one or more of indium tin oxide, zinc-doped indium oxide, tungsten-doped indium oxide, aluminum-doped zinc oxide, fluorine-doped tin oxide, and boron-doped zinc oxide; and / or, the material of the second conductive layer is SnO; to further reduce electron-hole recombination losses, the n-type polycrystalline silicon layer 81, SiO x The total thickness of layer 82 is 80~110 nm; and / or, Al2O3 layer 101 and SiN x The total thickness of layer 102 is 100~150nm.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, the thickness of the first electrode is 100 nm to 1 μm; and / or, the material of the first electrode may be silver, gold, copper, aluminum, platinum, etc.; and / or, the thickness of the electron transport layer is 5 to 30 nm; and / or, the material of the electron transport layer is C60; and / or, the thickness of the hole transport layer is 15 to 30 nm; and / or, the material of the hole transport layer is selected from NiO and / or graphene quantum dots; and / or, the thickness of the silicon substrate is 160 to 200 μm; and / or, the material of the silicon substrate is n-type CzSi; and / or, the thickness of the second electrode is 20 to 1000 μm; and / or, the material of the second electrode may be silver paste, silver-aluminum paste, copper paste, etc.

[0062] Controlling the thickness and material type of the first electrode within the aforementioned range helps improve its conductivity and current collection capability.

[0064] In another typical embodiment of this application, a method for fabricating the aforementioned tandem solar cell is provided. The method includes: step S1, depositing a second electrode material on one side of a silicon wafer to form a second electrode, and depositing a hole transport material on the other side of the silicon wafer to form a hole transport layer; step S2, depositing at least two perovskite materials with different band gaps on the side of the hole transport layer away from the silicon wafer to form a perovskite absorption layer including at least two perovskite absorption layers with different band gaps, wherein the perovskite absorption layer closer to the hole transport layer has a lower band gap; step S3, depositing CsPbCl3 with a size at the quantum dot level on the side of the perovskite absorption layer away from the hole transport layer to form a passivation layer; step S4, depositing an electron transport material on the side of the passivation layer away from the perovskite absorption layer to form an electron transport layer; and step S5, depositing a first electrode material on the side of the electron transport layer away from the passivation layer to form a first electrode, thereby obtaining a tandem solar cell.

[0065] In step S1, the formation of the second electrode helps improve the stability of the current output and mechanical strength, while the formation of the hole transport layer helps improve charge separation efficiency. In step S2, by controlling the deposition sequence of the perovskite material, at least two perovskite absorption layers with different band gaps are formed, and the perovskite absorption layers closer to the hole transport layer have lower band gaps, which helps optimize spectral absorption and promote the separation and transport of photogenerated carriers.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, step S1 above further includes pre-processing the silicon wafer, which includes: sequentially performing double-sided polishing and single-sided texturing on the silicon wafer.

[0070] Polishing removes surface roughness, while texturing introduces a pyramid structure on the front side, which helps to enhance the scattering and absorption of light on the silicon surface, while reducing light reflection on the front side, thereby helping to improve the light utilization rate of the tandem solar cell.

[0071] In some embodiments of this application, step S5 includes: step S51, depositing a second conductive layer material on the side of the electron transport layer away from the passivation layer to form a second conductive layer; step S52, depositing a first conductive layer material on the side of the second conductive layer away from the electron transport layer to form a first conductive layer; and step S53, depositing a first electrode material on the side of the first conductive layer away from the second conductive layer to form a first electrode, thereby obtaining a stacked battery.

[0072] The formation of the second conductive layer helps accelerate hole transport. The formation of the first conductive layer helps optimize electron collection and transport paths, reducing contact resistance.

[0118]

[0119] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0120] This application establishes a perovskite absorption layer comprising at least two stacked perovskite absorption layers with different band gaps. The perovskite absorption layer closer to the hole transport layer has a lower band gap, which helps optimize the absorption of the solar spectrum, especially better utilizing the red light band, thereby improving the overall photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery. Quantum dot-level CsPbCl3 serves as a passivation layer, effectively passivating the interface between the perovskite layer and the electron transport layer, reducing non-radiative recombination, increasing carrier lifetime and diffusion length, and thus improving the open-circuit voltage. The synergistic effect between the hole transport layer and the silicon substrate enhances hole transport efficiency and mobility. The positional relationship between the layers in this application further improves the photoelectric performance of the battery and reduces interface defects and charge recombination problems.
