The invention discloses a light
trapping structure based on nano-
zinc oxide silicon heterojunction battery. The light
trapping structure comprises a
silicon substrate which has a
pyramid appearance and is prepared by wet
etching, a ZnO seed layer, and a
zinc oxide nano rod or nano cone growing based on the seed layer, wherein the length of the nano rod or nano cone ranges from 200nm to 1,500nm, and the
diameter of the nano rod or nano cone is 20-200nm; the preparation method of the light
trapping structure comprises the steps of preparing the
pyramid appearance by the wet
etching, preparing the seed layer by a solution dipping method, and growing the
zinc oxide nano rod or nano cone by a hydrothermal method. The light trapping structure has the advantages that when the light trapping structure is used on a
Si substrate solar battery, in a range of 400-1,100nm, the average integral
reflectivity of the novel light trapping structure on which the zinc oxide nano rod grows is 5.1%, and the average integral
reflectivity of the light trapping structure on which the zinc oxide nano cone grows is only 2.5% in comparison with the average integral
reflectivity being 10.9% of the conventional light trapping structure with
pyramid appearance, so that the integral reflectivity of the novel light trapping structure is lowered obviously.
