[0041] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, the band gap range of the transparent conductive layer 7-2 is 4.5eV to 7.0eV. Therefore, the present invention uses an ultra-wide band gap transparent conductive layer 7-2, which can effectively transmit sunlight with wavelengths greater than 200nm and effectively reduce its own absorption of short-wavelength high-energy light in the solar spectrum, thereby broadening the range of light transmission bands.

[0047] In the embodiments of this utility model, the specific type of material of the down-conversion light-emitting layer 7-1 is not particularly limited. As some preferred embodiments, the material of the down-conversion light-emitting layer 7-1 is Sr2TiO4:Sm 3+ Sr2SiO4:Eu 3+Sr2TiO4:Eu 3+ Ca3Y2B4O 12 :Tb 3+ Ca3Y2B4O 12 Eu 3+ One of them. The downconversion light-emitting layer 7-1 formed by the above materials can convert ultraviolet sunlight with wavelengths of 200nm to 400nm that passes through the transparent conductive layer 7-2 into visible light with wavelengths of 400nm to 750nm, which further enhances the absorption and utilization of the spectrum by the light-absorbing active layer in the solar cell, thereby contributing to the improvement of the device's photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE).
