[0053] Stacked solar cells are a type of solar cell that possesses higher photoelectric conversion efficiency and offers excellent application prospects. The installation of each film layer in a stacked solar cell is critical to performance, including efficiency and stability. A stacked solar cell generally comprises a transparent conductive substrate, a first sub-cell, a tunneling structure, a second sub-cell, and a metal electrode layer. The tunneling structure is used to connect the first and second sub-cells, and while the material of the tunneling structure is typically metal, tunneling structures made of metal easily degrade the stability of the stacked solar cell.

[0054] To improve the stability of stacked solar cells, metal materials are replaced with metal oxide materials in some processing methods. However, metal oxide materials have lower conductivity compared to metal materials, which is disadvantageous for improving the efficiency of stacked solar cells.

[0055] In light of this, the present application provides a stacked solar cell comprising a first subcell, a tunneling structure, and a second subcell. The material of the tunneling structure comprises a main material layer and an auxiliary material layer, wherein the main material layer comprises a metal-doped metal oxide and the auxiliary material layer comprises an N-type semiconductor material or a P-type semiconductor material, which is advantageous for improving the efficiency of the stacked solar cell.

[0056] [Stacked Solar Cell]

[0057] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a stacked solar cell according to one embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the stacked solar cell (2) comprises a first sub-cell (21), a tunneling structure (23), and a second sub-cell (22) arranged sequentially along a first direction, wherein the first direction is the direction of incidence of sunlight.

[0058] The first direction may be the thickness direction of the stacked solar cell (2). For example, the first direction is the z direction in FIG. 1.

[0059] The first sub-cell (21) includes a first carrier transport layer (211), a first light absorption layer (212), and a second carrier transport layer (213) arranged sequentially along a first direction; and the second sub-cell (22) includes a third carrier transport layer (221), a second light absorption layer (222), and a fourth carrier transport layer (223) arranged sequentially along a first direction.

[0060] The first light absorption layer (212) and the second light absorption layer (222) can generate electron-hole pairs under sunlight irradiation. Here, both electrons and holes may be referred to as carriers.

[0061] The first carrier transport layer (211), the second carrier transport layer (213), the third carrier transport layer (221), and the fourth carrier transport layer (223) can transmit carriers. Specifically, depending on the materials of the first carrier transport layer (211), the second carrier transport layer (213), the third carrier transport layer (221), and the fourth carrier transport layer (223), each of the above-described film layers can transmit electrons or holes.

[0062] The tunneling structure (23) is located between the first sub-cell (21) and the second sub-cell (22), and can connect the first sub-cell (21) and the second sub-cell (22), making it convenient to form a stacked solar cell.

[0063] The tunneling structure (23) includes a main material layer (231) and an auxiliary material layer (232), the main material layer (231) includes a metal-doped metal oxide, and the auxiliary material layer (232) includes an N-type semiconductor material or a P-type semiconductor material.

[0064] Metal-doped metal oxides can refer to metal oxides doped with a specific amount of metal. Here, the doped metal may differ from the metal within the metal oxide. For example, metal-doped oxides include indium-doped tin oxide and aluminum-doped copper oxide.

[0065] Compared to a tunneling structure in which the material is metal and the main material layer (231) contains a metal-doped metal oxide, the tunneling structure (23) containing the metal-doped metal oxide has superior performance and, when applied to a stacked solar cell (2), the stacked solar cell (2) has higher stability. Compared to a tunneling structure in which the material is metal oxide, the conductivity of the metal-doped metal oxide is superior, so the conductivity of the tunneling structure (23) according to the embodiment of the present application is superior, and when applied to a stacked solar cell (2), the stacked solar cell (2) has a higher current density and a filling factor, so the stacked solar cell (2) has higher efficiency.

[0066] The auxiliary material layer (232) includes an N-type semiconductor material or a P-type semiconductor material. The N-type semiconductor material can transmit holes, and the P-type semiconductor material can transmit electrons. Specifically, the auxiliary material layer (232) can be installed depending on whether it contacts the electron transmission layer or the hole transmission layer in the stacked solar cell (2). For example, if the auxiliary material layer (232) contacts the hole transmission layer, the auxiliary material layer (232) includes an N-type semiconductor material; if the auxiliary material layer (232) contacts the electron transmission layer, the auxiliary material layer (232) includes a P-type semiconductor material.

[0067] The efficiency of a solar cell can refer to its conversion efficiency, which means the ratio of the maximum output power when light is irradiated onto the cell to the power of the incident light irradiated onto the cell.

[0068] The filler factor of a solar cell can be used to measure its photoelectric conversion efficiency. Generally, the higher the filler factor, the higher the photoelectric conversion efficiency. The filler factor is related to current density, which refers to the current per unit area; therefore, a larger current area is advantageous for improving the filler factor.

[0069] The auxiliary material layer (232) is located between the main material layer (231) and the third carrier transport layer (221), and the main material layer (231) is located between the second carrier transport layer (213) and the auxiliary material layer (232).

[0070] The materials of the auxiliary material layer (232) and the third carrier transport layer (221) are both N-type semiconductor materials, or the materials of the auxiliary material layer (232) and the third carrier transport layer (221) are both P-type semiconductor materials.

[0071] Optionally, a specific location of the auxiliary material layer (232) is related to the manufacturing order of the first sub-cell (21) and the second sub-cell (22). For example, in the process of manufacturing a stacked solar cell (2), the first sub-cell (21) is first manufactured on a conductive glass substrate, then the main material layer (231) is first manufactured on the surface of the first sub-cell (21), then the auxiliary material layer (232) is manufactured on the surface of the main material layer (231), and then the second sub-cell (22) is manufactured on the surface of the auxiliary material layer (232).

[0072] The auxiliary material layer (232) is located between the main material layer (231) and the third carrier transport layer (221), thereby being advantageous for reducing carrier loss between the second carrier transport layer (213) and the third carrier transport layer (221); the main material layer (231) is located between the second carrier transport layer (213) and the auxiliary material layer (232), thereby being advantageous for reducing resistance between the second carrier transport layer (213) and the third carrier transport layer (221) and for improving the filling factor of the stacked solar cell (2). Accordingly, the technical solution of this embodiment is advantageous for improving the efficiency of the stacked solar cell (2).

[0073] An embodiment of the present application provides a stacked solar cell (2) comprising a first sub-cell (21), a tunneling structure (23), and a second sub-cell (22) arranged sequentially along a first direction. The tunneling structure (23) is located between the first sub-cell (21) and the second sub-cell (22) and can connect the first sub-cell (21) and the second sub-cell (22), making it convenient to form a stacked solar cell. The tunneling structure (23) includes a main material layer (231) and an auxiliary material layer (232), wherein the main material layer (231) comprises a metal-doped metal oxide, and the auxiliary material layer (232) comprises an N-type semiconductor material or a P-type semiconductor material.
