Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photovoltaic device technology, specifically relating to a CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cell based on a composite window layer and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cells employ a structure where light enters through a transparent conductive substrate, reducing light absorption loss and increasing short-circuit current density. Existing CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cells often use a single-layer CdS or CdS / CdSe dual-window layer structure for the window layer, which suffers from low energy level matching, weak ion diffusion blocking ability, and numerous interface defects. This limits the improvement of open-circuit voltage and fill factor, making it difficult to meet commercialization requirements in terms of long-term stability. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cell based on a composite window layer and its preparation method. This application achieves a synergistic effect of "energy level matching-ion blocking-light transmission" by introducing a CdS / CdSeO4 / ZnS multilayer composite window layer, thereby improving the photoelectric performance and stability of the CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cell.

[0004] One objective of this invention is to provide a CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cell based on a composite window layer. The CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cell comprises, from bottom to top, a transparent conductive substrate, a composite window layer, a CdTe absorber layer, a ZnTe interface modification layer, and a metal back electrode. The composite window layer is composed of a CdS layer, a CdSeO4 layer, and a ZnS layer. The CdS layer is located above the transparent conductive substrate, the CdSeO4 layer is located between the CdS layer and the ZnS layer, and the ZnS layer is located below the CdTe absorber layer.

[0005] This invention employs a CdS / CdSeO4 / ZnS composite structure as the composite window layer for CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cells to achieve a synergistic effect of "energy level matching, ion blocking, and light transmission," thereby improving the photoelectric performance and stability of CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cells. Specifically, the CdS layer is located above and directly contacts the transparent conductive substrate, with a band gap of 2.4~2.6 eV, exhibiting excellent light transmittance and conductivity, thus reducing the contact barrier between the transparent conductive substrate and the window layer and minimizing carrier recombination at the interface. The CdSeO4 layer serves as an intermediate energy level matching layer, with a band gap of 2.7~2.9 eV, facilitating a step transition between the CdS and ZnS layers, constructing an efficient carrier transport channel, and simultaneously improving visible light transmittance. The ZnS layer is located below and directly contacts the CdTe absorption layer, with a density ≥98% and a Cd²⁺ diffusion coefficient ≤3×10⁻⁶. -11With a speed of cm² / s and a high bandgap of 3.5~3.7eV, it can reduce light absorption loss and block Cd²⁺ from migrating to the window layer, thereby improving the battery's environmental safety and long-term stability.

[0006] Furthermore, the thickness of the CdS layer is 35~55nm; the thickness of the CdSeO4 layer is 20~30nm; and the thickness of the ZnS layer is 5~8nm.

[0007] Furthermore, the transparent conductive substrate is any one of FTO / ITO conductive glass or ITO flexible PET substrate, with a sheet resistance ≤10Ω / □ and a light transmittance ≥88%; the CdTe absorption layer has a thickness of 1.8~2.2μm; the ZnTe interface modification layer has a thickness of 5~8nm; and the metal back electrode has a thickness of 200~300nm, which is any one of Cu / Au composite electrode or Mo electrode.

[0008] A second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cell based on a composite window layer, comprising the following steps: The transparent conductive substrate is pretreated to obtain the pretreated transparent conductive substrate; The pretreated transparent conductive substrate is immersed in a CdS precursor solution and subjected to a chemical bath deposition reaction to form a CdS layer. CdSeO4 material is deposited on the CdS layer to form a CdSeO4 layer; ZnS material is deposited on the CdSeO4 layer to form a ZnS layer; An absorber layer material is deposited on the ZnS layer, and then annealed in an inert atmosphere to form a CdTe absorber layer. An interface modification layer material is deposited on the CdTe absorber layer to form a ZnTe interface modification layer; A metal back electrode material is deposited on the ZnTe interface modification layer to form a metal back electrode, thereby obtaining a CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cell based on a composite window layer.

[0009] Furthermore, the CdS precursor solution comprises 0.03 mol / L cadmium nitrate and 0.08 mol / L thiourea; the chemical bath deposition reaction is carried out at a temperature of 60-70°C for 20-25 minutes.

[0010] Furthermore, the deposition method used to form the CdTe absorber layer is near-space sublimation or electrospray deposition; the annealing temperature for the annealing treatment is 380~400℃, and the annealing time is 20~25min.

[0011] Furthermore, the deposition method used to form the CdSeO4 layer, ZnS layer, and ZnTe interface modification layer was magnetron sputtering.

[0012] Furthermore, the deposition method used to form the metal back electrode is either thermal evaporation or magnetron sputtering.

[0013] Furthermore, the method for preparing CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cells based on the composite window layer also includes post-processing and encapsulation. The post-processing and encapsulation method is as follows: the obtained CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cells based on the composite window layer are placed in an annealing furnace at 110~120℃ in a nitrogen atmosphere and kept at that temperature for 10~15 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, they are diced to form independent cell units for encapsulation.

[0014] Furthermore, the encapsulation temperature is 120~140℃ and the pressure is 0.08~0.12MPa.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) This invention uses a CdS layer, a CdSeO4 layer, and a ZnS layer to form a CdS / CdSeO4 / ZnS multilayer composite window layer. This composite window layer, together with a transparent conductive substrate, a CdTe absorption layer, a ZnTe interface modification layer, and a metal back electrode, forms a CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cell. The CdS layer has excellent light transmittance and conductivity, thereby reducing the contact barrier between the transparent conductive substrate and the window layer and reducing carrier interface recombination. The CdSeO4 layer serves as an intermediate energy level matching layer, realizing the energy level transition between the CdS layer and the ZnS layer, constructing an efficient carrier transport channel, and simultaneously improving visible light transmittance. The ZnS layer is in direct contact with the CdTe absorption layer, with a density ≥98%. 2+ Diffusion coefficient ≤ 3 × 10 -11 cm 2 / s, which can reduce light absorption loss and block Cd 2+ By migrating to the window layer, the combination of these three elements achieves a synergistic effect of "energy level matching, ion blocking, and light transmission," thereby improving the photoelectric performance and stability of CdTe thin-film photovoltaic cells.

[0016] (2) The medium-low temperature preparation process of this invention is more suitable for flexible substrates, which effectively expands the application of CdTe thin film photovoltaic cells in wearable devices, flexible photovoltaic modules and other fields; at the same time, the strong ion blocking ability of the ZnS layer combined with the separate treatment process of cadmium-containing waste liquid can greatly reduce the risk of cadmium pollution and meet the requirements of green production; at the same time, the preparation process of this invention is compatible with existing CdTe production lines, without the need for large-scale equipment modification, which greatly reduces the cost of large-scale industrialization.
