Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to solar technology field, and specifically relates to a perovskite-crystalline silicon laminated cell. BACKGROUND
[0002] The passivation contact technology is the key of the high-efficiency crystalline silicon cell technology, and the current commercial passivation contact technology mainly includes the silicon heterojunction (SHJ) cell and the tunneling oxide passivation contact (TOPCon) cell. Both of them adopt the doped silicon film to construct the passivation contact structure, wherein the passivation contact structure of the SHJ cell is composed of the intrinsic hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) superimposed with the doped a-Si:H, and the passivation contact structure of the TOPCon cell is composed of the tunneling oxide silicon (SiO2) superimposed with the doped polysilicon (poly).
[0003] With the further development of the solar technology, the requirement for the conversion efficiency of the solar cell is further improved. The perovskite-crystalline silicon laminated cell is formed by preparing the perovskite on the front surface of the crystalline silicon cell, so as to fully utilize the light of different wavelengths and improve the conversion efficiency of the solar cell. The perovskite-crystalline silicon laminated cell in the prior art usually adopts the transparent conductive metal oxide film (such as indium tin oxide ITO, zinc-doped indium oxide IZO, etc.) as the intermediate composite layer, or adopts the doped polysilicon or amorphous silicon film as the tunneling junction.
[0004] However, the parasitic light absorption of the silicon film in the SHJ cell and the TOPCon cell is large, which leads to the loss of the short-circuit current of the photovoltaic device, and the deposition process of the silicon film includes the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process and the low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) process, the equipment is expensive, and involves toxic and flammable gases (such as silane, phosphine and borane). At the same time, the intermediate composite layer material (ITO, IZO, etc.) of the perovskite-crystalline silicon laminated cell has large optical parasitic absorption, and contains the rare metal indium, so the cost is high. In addition, the ITO material and the IZO material have good lateral conductivity, which is easy to cause the electric leakage when preparing the large-area laminated cell, thereby limiting the application.
[0005] In addition, the doped polysilicon or amorphous silicon film tunneling junction used in the perovskite-crystalline silicon laminated cell in the prior art has large parasitic absorption, and the preparation cost is high. Moreover, in the perovskite-crystalline silicon laminated cell in the prior art, the passivation contact structure of the crystalline silicon cell and the intermediate composite layer are two independent structures, which need to be prepared respectively, and the preparation process is more complex.
[0006] Therefore, in view of the above technical problems, it is necessary to provide a perovskite-crystalline silicon laminated cell. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT
