Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of CNT-silicon thin film lamination solar cell and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Along with the appearance of energy crisis, people begin to find the importance of regenerative resource, and regenerative resource becomes the problem that everybody more and more pays close attention to.The solar energy conduct is a kind of reproducible clean energy resource wherein, has obtained relevant application in every field.Wherein, the application of solar cell is particularly extensive, currently marketed solar cell mainly with silica-based be main.Silicon solar cell mainly is divided into monocrystalline silicon battery, three kinds of polycrystal silicon cell and amorphous (crystallite) silicon thin-film batteries, and wherein, silicon thin-film battery has that manufacturing materials consumption is few, and area is big, and it is low to make energy consumption, and cost is low, has obtained development rapidly in recent years.The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the mass-produced amorphous silicon thin-film solar cell of large tracts of land is 5~8% at present, and the open circuit voltage of its single-unit silicon thin-film battery is about 0.8V.
CNT (Carbon nanotube, CNT) be by one or more layers Graphene curl form, the full carbon molecule of tubulose that diameter is nanometer scale.CNT is synthetic so far black-materials, and it is all high to have shown that CNT absorbs the comparable existing all material of ability of sunlight.CNT can be transformed into electric energy with the luminous energy that absorbs, and is right in the inner light induced electron-hole that produces of CNT.People's such as Stewart DA Theoretical Calculation shows that the quantum efficiency of CNT opto-electronic conversion can reach 18% (Stewart DA, et al., Phys.Rev.Lett., 93:107401,2004; Nano Lett., 5:219,2005).The spectral region of the photoelectric respone of CNT is very wide, can cover from ultraviolet light to infrared full spectral region.Wei advances congruent people and discovers (Wei et al.; Small, 2:988,2006); Carbon nano-tube macroscopic body has very strong photogenerated current and photoconductive behavior; Like diameter is the carbon nano-tube macroscopic body of 0.39mm, and its photic electric current can reach the mA magnitude, and visible light and infrared light district have been contained in the response interval of photic electric current.Show that thus CNT can the excitation electron transition under the irradiation of incident light, causes the separation and the migration of electron-hole pair, produce photo-generated carrier, thereby form photoelectric current.Research also finds, when rayed during in double-walled and multi-walled carbon nano-tubes junction or CNT and metal junctions, the photic electric current of CNT obviously strengthens (Sun JL, et al., Appl.Phys.Lett., 88:131107,2006).Show thus,,, constitute solar cell efficiently just might increase substantially photoelectric current if construct suitable carbon nanotube heterojunction.
The researcher has carried out the application study work of CNT in fields such as inorganic heterogeneous solar cell, organic solar batteries and DSSCs.Wei advances congruent people and then utilizes p type CNT and n type silicon, has made up CNT-silicon heterojunction solar battery solar cell.This seminar combines carbon nano-tube film with n type monocrystalline silicon, constitute heterojunction solar battery, its conversion efficiency 5~7% (Jia Y et al., Advanced Materials, 2008,20,4594-4598); And on heterojunction boundary, drip rare nitric acid or dilute sulfuric acid, can the conversion efficiency of CNT-silicon heterogenous solar cell be increased to 13.8% (Jia Y, et al., Nano Letters, 2011,11).In the structure of this CNT-silicon heterogenous solar cell, sunlight incides the heterojunction surface from CNT one side; Carbon nano-tube film all both as the knot material of heterojunction, has served as the top electrode of electrically conducting transparent again.The equal patent applied for of these achievements in research has perhaps obtained the patent for invention mandate (patent No.: ZL200610169827.0).The researcher also handles and improves CNT-silicon heterogenous solar cell with diverse ways in trial, with further raising battery efficiency.
In order to reduce the cost of solar cell, the researcher combines CNT with silicon thin film, to constitute the heterojunction solar battery of CNT-silicon thin film.People (Gobbo SD, et al., Applied Physics Letters 2011 such as Gobbo SD; 98,183113) SWCN is distributed in the solution, combines with noncrystal membrane then; Constituted heterojunction solar battery, but its performance is very low, open circuit voltage is 0.2~0.5V; Conversion efficiency<0.1% can't practical application.This battery is the heterojunction battery of unijunction; And CNT all is positioned at the upper surface of silicon thin film, and sunlight penetrates carbon nano-tube film earlier, just is radiated on the silicon thin film then; For sunlight is radiated on the heterojunction as much as possible, carbon nano-tube film can not be too thick.
Summary of the invention
