Cu元素对Cu(In,Ga)Se_2薄膜及太阳电池的影响

Cu元素成分对Cu(In,Ga)Se2(简称CIGS)薄膜材料的电学性质及其电池器件性能有很重要的影响.本文利用蒸发法制备了贫Cu和富Cu的CIGS吸收层(0.7Cu/(Ga+In)1.15)及相应的电池器件.扫描电镜和Hall测试发现,富Cu材料的结构特性(晶粒大、结晶状态好)和电学特性(电阻率低、迁移率高等)优于贫Cu材料,而性能测试表明贫Cu器件的效率优于富Cu器件.变温性能测试分析表明,贫Cu器件的主要复合路径是体复合,激活能与CIGS禁带宽度相当;富Cu器件的主要复合路径是界面复合,其激活能远小于CIGS禁带宽度,这大大降低了开路电压Voc,从而降低了电池效率.最后利用蒸发三步法制备了体材料稍富Cu表面贫Cu的CIGS吸收层,降低了短路电流和开路电压的损失,获得了超过15%的电池效率.

硅锗量子阱结构在硅异质结太阳电池中应用的数值模拟

利用半导体工艺和器件仿真软件silvaco TCAD(Technology Computer Aided Design),模拟研究了采用硅/硅锗合金(silicon/silicon germanium alloy,Si/Si_(1-x)Ge_x)量子阱结构作为吸收层的薄膜晶体硅异质结太阳电池各项性能.模拟结果显示,长波波段光学吸收随锗含量的增加而增加,而开路电压则因Si_(1-x)Ge_x)层带隙的降低而下降.锗含量为0.25时,短路电流密度的增加补偿了开路电压的衰减,效率提升0.2%.氢化非晶硅/晶体硅(a-Si:H/c-Si)界面空穴密度以及Si_(1-x)Ge_x)量子阱的体空穴载流子浓度制约着空穴费米能级的位置,进而影响到开路电压的大小.随着锗含量增加,a-Si:H/c-Si界面缺陷对开压的影响降低,Si_(1-x)Ge_x)量子阱的体缺陷对开压的影响则相应增加.高效率含Si_(1-x)Ge_x)量子阱结构的硅异质结太阳电池的制备需要a-Si:H/c-Si界面缺陷的良好钝化以及高质量Si_(1-x)Ge_x)量子阱的生长.

Closed-form expression for the current/ voltage characteristics of <Emphasis Type="Italic">pin</Emphasis> solar cells

A closed-form expression for the current–voltage relationship of pin diodes and pin solar cells is obtained. The model considers drift and diffusion currents, and assumes a uniform electric field in the intrinsic layer, equal diffusion lengths for electrons and holes and a homogeneous generation rate. We show that both drift and diffusion currents must be taken into account to describe the current over a wide range of applied voltage. The inclusion of both transport mechanisms results in diode ideality factors between 1.8 at low, and 1.2 at high applied voltages. Comparisons of current/voltage characteristics and solar cell output parameters obtained from our model with experimental data of thin-film silicon solar cells show that our model accurately explains the output characteristics of pin solar cells.

Influence of shunt conduction on determining the dominant recombination processes in CIGS thin-film solar cells

We investigated the transport and photovoltaic properties of Cu(In_1-xGa_x)Se₂ (CIGS) thin-film solar cells. The shunt-current-eliminated diode current could be obtained from the current–voltage characteristics by subtracting the parasitic shunt leakage current from the total current. The temperature dependence of the open-circuit voltage, extracted from the shunt-eliminated (total) current, suggested that the recombination activation energy is comparable to (much less than) the CIGS bandgap. The low-temperature characteristics of the diode ideality factor supported bulk-dominated recombination in the same cell. This suggests that shunt-current subtraction can provide the proper diode parameters of CIGS solar cells.

碳基钙钛矿太阳能电池因稳定性高、成本低廉而备受关注,但由于钙钛矿与碳电极之间能级匹配度不高,界面阻力大而导致效率不及金属基钙钛矿太阳能电池.本文制备了碳基无空穴传输层FTO/c-TiO₂/m-TiO₂/CH₃NH₃PbI₃/Carbon电池结构.通过对介孔二氧化钛层、钙钛矿层厚度进行优化,并对钙钛矿的薄膜形貌及钙钛矿激发电子寿命、可见光吸收度、载流子的提取与分离等进行深度分析,讨论了电池效率提升的内在机理.当介孔氧化钛层和钙钛矿层达到最优厚度时,钙钛矿太阳能电池获得了开路电压（V_oc）为0.93 V、电流密度（J_sc）为21.75 mA/cm²、填充因子为55%、光电转化效率达到11.11%.同时对电池进行了稳定性研究,在室温湿度为40%–50%的条件下放置15 d电池性能依旧稳定保持原来的95%,优于金属基钙钛矿太阳能电池,从而为碳电极钙钛矿太阳能电池的商业化发展提供了可能.     

Analysis of laser scribes at CIGS thin-film solar cells by localized electrical and optical measurements

Laser patterning of thin-film solar cells is essential to perform external serial and integrated monolithic interconnections for module application and has recently received increasing attention. Current investigations show, however, that the efficiency of thin-film Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ (CIGS) modules is reduced due to laser scribing also with ultrashort laser pulses. Hence, to investigate the reasons of the laser-induced material modifications, thin-film CIGS solar cells were laser-scribed with femto- and picosecond laser pulses using different scribing procedures and laser processing parameters. Besides standard electrical current voltage (I–V) measurements, additional electrical and optical analysis were performed such as laser beam-induced current (LBIC), dark lock-in thermography (DLIT), and electroluminescence (EL) measurements to characterize and localize electrical losses due to material removal/modifications at the scribes that effecting the electrical solar cell properties. Both localized as well as distributed shunts were found at laser scribe edges whereas the laser spot intensity distribution affecting the shunt formation. Already laser irradiation below the ablation threshold of the TCO film causes material modification inside the thin film solar cell stack resulting in shunt formation as a result of materials melting near the TCO/CIGS interface that probably induces the damage of the pn-junction.

Electronic and photovoltaic properties of p-Si/C70 heterojunction diode

Electronic and photovoltaic properties of p-Si/C₇₀ heterojunction diode have been investigated. The ideality factor n and barrier height φ_b values of the diode were found to be 1.86 and 0.69 eV, respectively. The diode indicates a non-ideal current–voltage behaviour due to the ideality factor being higher than unity. This behaviour results from the effect of series resistance and the presence of an interfacial layer. The series resistance R_S and ideality factor n values were determined using Cheng's method and the obtained values are 2.21×10⁵ Ω and 1.86, respectively. The device shows photovoltaic behaviour with a maximum open-circuit voltage of 0.22 V and a short-circuit current of 0.35 μA under 6 mW/cm² light intensity.

Absorption enhancement of ultrathin crystalline silicon solar cells with frequency upconversion nanosphere arrays

A design of ultrathin crystalline silicon solar cells patterned with α-NaEr_(0.2)Y_(0.8)F_4 upconversion nanosphere(NSs) arrays on the surface was proposed. The light trapping performance ofα-NaEr_(0.2)Y_(0.8)F_4 NSs with different ratios of sphere diameter to sphere pitch was systematically studied by COMSOL Multiphysics. The influence of different NS diameters and ratio to the average optical absorption of ultrathin crystalline silicon solar cell was calculated, as well as the short circuit current densities. The results show that the average optical absorption of solar cells with 2.33 μm silicon covered by α-NaEr_(0.2)Y_(0.8)F_4 NSs of 100 nm in diameter and 5.2 in ratio has improved by 8.5% compared to planar silicon solar cells with the same thickness of silicon. The light trapping performance of different thicknesses of silicon solar cells with the optimized configuration of NSs was also discussed. The results indicate that our structure enhances the light absorption. The presented model will be the basis for further simulations concerning frequency upconversion of α-NaEr_(0.2)Y_(0.8)F_4 materials.
