Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of photovoltaic technology and relates to an SHJ solar cell structure. Background Technology
[0002] Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells are a new hot topic in the photovoltaic field, with many advantages such as high open-circuit voltage, high conversion efficiency, and low temperature coefficient.
[0003] Currently, the structure of conventional silicon heterojunction solar cells is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, from top to bottom, the battery comprises a first electrode 8, a first transparent conductive layer 6, an n-type amorphous or microcrystalline silicon layer 4, a first intrinsic amorphous or microcrystalline silicon passivation layer 2, an n-type monocrystalline silicon wafer 1, a second intrinsic amorphous or microcrystalline silicon passivation layer 3, a p-type amorphous or microcrystalline silicon layer 5, a second transparent conductive layer 7, and a second electrode 9. The first electrode 8, the first transparent conductive layer 6, the n-type amorphous or microcrystalline silicon layer 4, the first intrinsic amorphous or microcrystalline silicon passivation layer 2, and the n-type monocrystalline silicon wafer 1 constitute the first surface (or front side) of the battery. The n-type monocrystalline silicon wafer 1, the second intrinsic amorphous or microcrystalline silicon passivation layer 3, the p-type amorphous or microcrystalline silicon layer 5, the second transparent conductive layer 7, and the second electrode 9 constitute the second surface (or back side) of the battery.
[0004] In the above structure, the first transparent conductive layer 6 and the second transparent conductive layer 7 have a significant impact on battery performance. In the prior art, the conventional first transparent conductive layer 6 and second transparent conductive layer 7 are both made of indium tin oxide (ITO) material, forming a TCO film (transparent conductive oxide film). Although its mobility is 20-80 cm⁻¹ 2 The / V·s ratio is relatively high, but since indium in indium-based materials is a rare metal, it is not conducive to further reducing battery costs. Existing technologies also use zinc oxide-based or tin oxide-based materials to form the film layer, such as aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) and tantalum-doped tin oxide (TTO), but the mobility of both is difficult to reach 30 cm⁻¹. 2 The voltage level is / V·s and above, which seriously affects the conversion efficiency of the battery.
[0005] Therefore, it is still necessary to develop and utilize a low-cost TCO film layer to form new batteries or battery structures, thereby improving battery performance while maintaining cost advantages through optimization of the transparent conductive layer and its structure.

[0024] The following is the preferred technical scheme of the utility model, but not as the restriction of the technical scheme provided by the utility model, through the following technical scheme, the technical purpose and beneficial effect of the utility model can be better achieved.
[0025] As the preferred technical scheme of the utility model, the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer includes any one of calcium stannate film layer, barium stannate film layer or strontium stannate film layer.
[0026] The material of the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer includes X a SnO b Material, wherein X is the alkaline earth metal element of the second main group, when X is calcium, barium and strontium respectively, the formed film layer is the calcium stannate film layer, barium stannate film layer and strontium stannate film layer; and 0 < a ≤ 1, for example, it can be 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.75, 0.9, 0.95 or 1, etc.; b ≤ 3, for example, it can be 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, 2.93, 2.94, 2.95, 2.96, 2.97, 2.98, 2.99 or 3, etc., but not limited to the listed values, other values not listed in the above value range are also applicable.
[0027] It should be noted that the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer can also be a single-layer composite film layer composed of different X a SnO b Material as a component, or a multi-layer combined film layer composed of single-layer film layers composed of different X a SnO b Material.
[0028] Further, the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer can be an optimized and improved film layer, for example, element doping or reaching oxygen loss state. The element doping can use lanthanum and / or cobalt, at this time, X a SnO b Material is changed to X a M c SnO bThe material M includes lanthanum and / or cobalt; for example, when X is barium and M is lanthanum, the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer includes a lanthanum-doped barium stannate film layer; and 0≤c<1, for example, can be 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.75, 0.9, 0.95 or 1, c=0, that is, no doping metal element M is contained, but is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed in the above value range are also applicable; the oxygen loss state can be controlled by slightly reducing the stoichiometric value of the actual oxygen element compared with the value of oxygen in the stoichiometric ratio (standard stoichiometric ratio) of the chemical formula, that is, b<3, and the suitable oxygen loss state can effectively improve the conductivity of the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer.
[0029] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the first transparent conductive layer structure and / or the second transparent conductive layer structure comprises at least two layers of TCO film layers, wherein the TCO film layer closest to the silicon substrate comprises any one of an ITO film layer, an AZO film layer or a TTO film layer.
[0030] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the first transparent conductive layer structure and / or the second transparent conductive layer structure comprises at least three layers of TCO film layers, wherein the TCO film layer farthest from the silicon substrate comprises any one of an ITO film layer, an AZO film layer or a TTO film layer.
[0031] The present application finds that when the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer directly contacts the first conductive type doped layer (such as a conventional n-type amorphous silicon or microcrystalline silicon layer) or the second conductive type doped layer (such as a conventional p-type amorphous silicon or microcrystalline silicon layer) in the SHJ cell, contact problems are easily caused. Therefore, the transparent conductive layer structure is preferably divided into at least two layers, ITO and TTO film layers are used as contact layers to contact the amorphous silicon or microcrystalline silicon layer to improve the contact condition, and the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer is prepared on the formed contact layer to play the advantages of the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer, improve the mobility and enhance the performance of the cell.
[0032] Further, there are certain contact problems between the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer and the electrode (silver electrode or copper electrode). For example, in the process of electroplating the electrode, the electroplating solution and the film removal solution can corrode the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer, affecting the efficiency of the solar cell. Therefore, the transparent conductive layer structure is further preferably divided into at least three layers, the first layer is the above-mentioned contact layer, the middle layer is the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer, and the outermost layer is a TTO film layer, TTO exhibits stronger corrosion resistance in the electroplating process, so that it serves as a protective layer, further improving the stability of the transparent conductive layer structure.
[0033] As the preferred technical scheme of the utility model, the TCO film layer closest to the silicon substrate accounts for 2% to 25% of the total thickness of the transparent conductive layer structure, for example, 2%, 5%, 7%, 9%, 11%, 13%, 15%, 17%, 19%, 21%, 23% or 25%, etc., but is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the above numerical range are also applicable.
[0034] As the preferred technical scheme of the utility model, the TCO film layer farthest from the silicon substrate accounts for 2% to 25% of the total thickness of the transparent conductive layer structure, for example, 2%, 5%, 7%, 9%, 11%, 13%, 15%, 17%, 19%, 21%, 23% or 25%, etc., but is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the above numerical range are also applicable.
[0035] As the preferred technical scheme of the utility model, the total thickness of the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer accounts for 50% or more of the total thickness of the transparent conductive layer structure, for example, 50%, 54%, 58%, 62%, 66%, 70%, 74%, 78%, 82%, 86%, 90%, 92%, 96% or 98%, etc., but is not limited to the listed values, and other values not listed within the above numerical range are also applicable.
[0036] When the transparent conductive layer structure is divided into at least two TCO film layers, in order to ensure that the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer plays its due role, therefore, the thickness of the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer, the thickness and thickness ratio of the above contact layer and the above protective layer need to be limited, so that the contact layer, the protective layer and the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer mutually match to play their respective advantages and roles.
[0037] As the preferred technical scheme of the utility model, the first conductive type doped layer and / or the second conductive type doped layer are set as oxygen-doped microcrystalline silicon layers with the corresponding conductive type.
[0038] As the preferred technical scheme of the utility model, a first buffer layer is arranged between the first conductive type doped layer and the first transparent conductive layer structure, and the first buffer layer comprises an oxygen-doped microcrystalline silicon layer with the first conductive type.
[0039] As the preferred technical scheme of the utility model, a second buffer layer is arranged between the second conductive type doped layer and the second transparent conductive layer structure, and the second buffer layer comprises an oxygen-doped microcrystalline silicon layer with the second conductive type.
[0040] In order to improve the contact problem of the TCO film layer and the first conductive type doped layer and the second conductive type doped layer, or when the transparent conductive film layer does not adopt the scheme of being divided into at least two layers to set the contact layer and only has the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer, another way to improve the contact problem is provided, that is, the first conductive type doped layer and the second conductive type doped layer in direct contact with the TCO film layer, especially the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer, are set as an oxygen-doped microcrystalline silicon layer, or a layer of oxygen-doped microcrystalline silicon is added as a buffer layer between the first conductive type doped layer and the second conductive type doped layer and the TCO film layer in contact, so that the contact condition can be further improved, and the battery performance is improved.
[0041] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effects that:
[0042] (1) The utility model uses the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer as the TCO film layer to construct the transparent conductive layer structure in the SHJ battery, which can have the advantages of low cost and high mobility at the same time, and effectively improve the performance of the SHJ battery.

Based on the performance data of the battery in Comparative Example 1, the battery performance of Comparative Example 1 was: open circuit voltage = 749.46mV, short circuit current = 11.05A, fill factor = 85.48%, conversion efficiency = 25.83%. The improvement effect (improvement rate) of each performance was calculated, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0090] From the above, it can be seen that:
[0091] Compared with Comparative Examples 1-3, the utility model uses the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer to replace the traditional ITO, TTO and AZO film layer to construct the transparent conductive layer, which is conducive to the high mobility advantage of the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer, and effectively improves the battery performance; and Comparative Example 4 uses ITO, TTO and AZO stacked film to construct the transparent conductive layer, which lacks the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer, and the battery performance is not obviously improved.
[0092] In Example 2, the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer is changed to an oxygen loss state, which can greatly improve the conductivity and improve the battery performance; in Example 3, the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer is doped with lanthanum, which can also optimize the film layer to a certain extent and improve the battery performance.
[0093] In Examples 4 and 5, the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer used is barium stannate film layer and calcium stannate film layer, and the battery performance of the two is equivalent to that of the strontium stannate film layer in Example 1.
[0094] In Examples 6 and 7, the transparent conductive layer structure is further subdivided to increase the contact layer and the protective layer, which is conducive to improving the contact problem and ensuring the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer to play a role, thereby further improving the battery performance.
[0095] In Example 8, the buffer layer is set to contact the transparent conductive layer structure, which can greatly improve the contact problem of the alkaline earth metal stannate film layer directly with the doped amorphous or microcrystalline silicon, thereby effectively improving the battery performance.
[0096] The results of Example 9 show that by using the optimized and improved alkaline earth metal stannate film layer to construct the transparent conductive layer structure, the contact problem is improved by stacking multiple TCO film layers, and the n-type or p-type microcrystalline silicon buffer layer is added, and the battery efficiency is maximally improved.
[0097] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this, and those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art, and all fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the utility model.
