The present application relates to the field of solar cells, and in particular to a
solar cell and a photovoltaic module. The
solar cell comprises: a substrate; a
passivation layer arranged on the surface of the substrate, the
passivation layer comprising an intrinsic
amorphous silicon layer; an intrinsic
silicon oxide layer, wherein the intrinsic
silicon oxide layer is arranged on the surface of the
passivation layer facing away from the substrate, the content range of high-valence state
silicon oxide in the intrinsic
silicon oxide layer is greater than 50% and less than or equal to 95%, and the valence state of silicon element in the high-valence state
silicon oxide is greater than or equal to +2; a doped layer, wherein the doped layer comprises a doped
microcrystalline silicon layer, and the doped
microcrystalline silicon layer is arranged on the surface of the intrinsic
silicon oxide layer facing away from the passivation layer; a transparent conductive layer, wherein the transparent conductive layer is arranged on the surface of the doped layer facing away from the intrinsic silicon oxide layer; and an
electrode, arranged on the transparent conductive layer. The
solar cell can solve the problem of performance limitations between the passivation layer and the doped layer caused by the presence of an incubation layer.
