Novel Cu Nanowires/Graphene as the Back Contact for CdTe Solar Cells

Cu‐nanowire‐doped graphene (Cu NWs/graphene) is successfully incorporated as the back contact in thin‐film CdTe solar cells. 1D, single‐crystal Cu nanowires (NWs) are prepared by a hydrothermal method at 160 °C and 3D, highly crystalline graphene is obtained by ambient‐pressure CVD at 1000 °C. The Cu NWs/graphene back contact is obtained from fully mixing the Cu nanowires and graphene with poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and N‐methyl pyrrolidinone (NMP), and then annealing at 185 °C for solidification. The back contact possesses a high electrical conductivity of 16.7 S cm^?1 and a carrier mobility of 16.2 cm² V^?1 s^?1. The efficiency of solar cells with Cu NWs/graphene achieved is up to 12.1%, higher than that of cells with traditional back contacts using Cu‐particle‐doped graphite (10.5%) or Cu thin films (9.1%). This indicates that the Cu NWs/graphene back contact improves the hole collection ability of CdTe cells due to the percolating network, with the super‐high aspect ratio of the Cu nanowires offering enormous electrical transport routes to connect the individual graphene sheets. The cells with Cu NWs/graphene also exhibit an excellent thermal stability, because they can supply an active Cu diffusion source to form an stable intermediate layer of CuTe between the CdTe layer and the back contact.     

CuSCN Modified Back Contacts for High Performance CZTSSe Solar Cells

Optimization of the back contact interface is crucial for improving the performance of Cu₂ZnSnS₄ (CZTS) thin film solar cells. In this paper, self-depleted CuSCN is deployed as an intermediate layer at the Mo/CZTS interface to improve the quality of the back contact. This CuSCN layer, obtained via aqueous solution processing, reduces the thickness of Mo(S,Se)₂ and eliminates multi-layer crystallization of the absorber by suppressing the undesirable reaction between Mo and Se during the selenization process. By regulating the selenium infiltration into the CZTS precursor films during the selenization process, highly crystalline, single-layer Cu₂ZnSn(S,Se)₄ (CZTSSe) absorber layers are realized. The single-layer CZTSSe absorber exhibits reduced carrier recombination, enhanced carrier density and increased work function. The improved back contact and absorber layer enables 11.1% power-conversion-efficiency to be achieved.

Application of copper thiocyanate for high open‐circuit voltages of CdTe solar cells

Copper thiocyanate (CuSCN) has proven to be a low‐cost, efficient hole‐transporting material for the emerging organic–inorganic perovskite solar cells. Herein, we report that CuSCN can also be applied to CdTe thin‐film solar cells to achieve high open‐circuit voltages (V_OCs). By optimizing the thickness of the thermally evaporated CuSCN films, CdTe cells fabricated by close space sublimation in the superstrate configuration have achieved V_OCs as high as 872 mV, which is about 20–25 mV higher than the highest V_OC for the reference cells using the standard Cu/Au back contacts. CuSCN is a wide bandgap p‐type conductor with a conduction band higher than that of CdTe, leading to a conduction band offset that reflects electrons in CdTe, partially explaining the improved V_OCs. However, due to the low conductivity of CuSCN, CdTe cells using CuSCN/Au back contacts exhibited slightly lower fill factors than the cells using Cu/Au back contacts. With optimized CdS:O window layers, the power conversion efficiency of the best CdTe cell, using CuSCN/Au back contact, is 14.7%: slightly lower than that of the best cell (15.2%) using Cu/Au back contact.

N型背发射极晶体硅太阳电池模拟研究

N型晶体太阳电池由于少子寿命高、光致衰减低、弱光响应好等优点,近年来在高效率低成本太阳电池领域一直备受关注。利用PC1D模拟,对N型背发射极晶体硅太阳电池进行了分析。结果表明,背发射极掺杂浓度、结深、背表面复合速率、前表面掺杂浓度及复合速率都对电池转换效率有较大影响,尤其是电池前表面与背表面复合速率对电池性能的影响最为明显,而电池前表面场掺杂深度则对电池性能影响较小。对于前表面复合来说,当前表面复合速率小于1×103cm/s时,电池性能受表面复合速率变化的影响很小;但复合速率超过1×103cm/s后,电池转换效率快速下降。背表面复合对电池效率影响则更明显,当背表面复合速率超过1×104cm/s后,电池转换效率急剧下降,在背表面复合速率增大到1×106cm/s时,电池效率下降到不足5%,而在电池背表面复合速度较小时(10~103cm/s)则可获得较高的转换效率。

Interface Engineering for Both Cathode and Anode Enables Low‐Cost Highly Efficient Solution‐Processed CdTe Nanocrystal Solar Cells

Low‐cost solution‐processed CdTe nanocrystal (NC) solar cells always suffer from a high interface energy barrier and unbalanced hole/electron transport as well as anisotropic atom diffusion on the CdTe surface due to the limited amount of hole/electron interface materials or the difficulty in interface processing. In this work, a novel strategy is first adopted with gradient electron transport layer (CdS/CdSe) modification in the cathode and a new crosslinkable hole transport polymer (P‐TPA) implantation in the anode. The carrier recombination at interfaces is greatly decreased and thus the carrier collection is increased. Moreover, the light harvesting is improved both in short and long wavelength regions, making J_sc and V_oc increase simultaneously. A champion solar cell shows a very high power conversion efficiency of 9.2% and an outstanding J_sc of 25.31 mA cm^?2, which are among the highest values for all solution‐processed CdTe NC solar cells with a superstrate structure, and the latter value is even higher than that of traditional thick CdTe thin‐film solar cells (2 µm) via the high temperature close space sublimation method. This work demonstrates that facile surface modifications in both the cathode and anode with stepped extraction and organic–inorganic hybridization are very promising in constructing next‐generation highly efficient NC photovoltaic devices.

Voltage dependent photocurrent collection in CdTe/CdS solar cells

The voltage dependence of the photocurrent J_L(V) of CdTe/CdS solar cells has been characterized by separating the forward current from the photocurrent at several illumination intensities. J_L(V) reduces the fill factor (FF) of typical cells by 10–15 points, the open circuit voltage (V_OC) by 20–50 mV, and the efficiency by 2–4 points. Eliminating the effect of J_L(V) establishes superposition between light and dark J(V) curves for some cells. Two models for voltage dependent collection give reasonable fits to the data: (1) a single carrier Hecht model developed for drift collection in p‐i‐n solar cells in which fitting yields a parameter consistent with lifetimes of 10⁻⁹ s as measured by others; or (2) the standard depletion region and bulk diffusion length model fits almost as well. The simple Hecht‐like drift collection model for photocurrent gives very good agreement to J(V) curves measured under AM1·5 light on CdTe/CdS solar cells with FF from 53% to 70%, CdTe thickness from 1·8 to 7·0 µm, in initial and stressed states. Accelerated thermal and bias stressing increases J_L(V) losses as does insufficient Cu. This method provides a new metric for tracking device performance, characterizes transport in the high field depletion region, and quantifies a significant FF loss in CdTe solar cells.
