Abstract
The invention discloses a process for preparing a crystalline silicon solar cell by a solution method, which comprises the steps of adding ethanol, polyethylene glycol, vinyl trimethoxy silane and the like into a phosphoric acid solution as a phosphorus diffusion solution source, uniformly coating diffusion solution on the surface of a silicon wafer by adopting an ultrasonic atomization spraying method, and then diffusing phosphorus at high temperature to obtain uniform doping concentration on the surface. According to the invention, a solution spraying method is adopted to prepare the titanium dioxide anti-reflection film to replace a silicon nitride anti-reflection film prepared by a PECVD method, and a microemulsion consisting of Anionic Polyacrylamide (APAM), isopropanol and the like is added into a titanium tetrachloride solution to serve as a precursor solution of a titanium dioxide film, so that the passivation function of the film on the silicon surface is improved.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and particularly relates to a process for preparing a crystalline silicon solar cell by a solution method.
Background
At present, crystalline silicon solar cells occupy more than 90% of the photovoltaic market, and the mainstream crystalline silicon cell preparation process mainly comprises the following steps: cleaning and texturing, diffusing, removing phosphorosilicate glass, depositing a silicon nitride anti-reflection film, printing an electrode, sintering at high temperature and the like. The diffusion is the most critical process, and a p-n junction is formed by diffusion to generate a built-in electric field and separate photon-generated carriers (electrons and holes), so that the photon-generated carriers are finally collected by two electrodes on the front surface and the back surface of a silicon wafer respectively. At present, a mainstream crystalline silicon cell mainly uses a p-type crystalline silicon chip, and a phosphorus oxychloride liquid source is adopted to diffuse to form a p-n junction in the existing industrial production. Phosphorus oxychloride is the most used doping source in the solar cell industry at present, is a colorless and transparent toxic liquid with asphyxiating smell, is extremely easy to volatilize and hydrolyze, and therefore has high requirement on the sealing property of a diffusion system. Phosphorus oxychloride is decomposed at the temperature of more than 600 ℃ to generate phosphorus pentachloride and phosphorus pentoxide, the generated phosphorus pentoxide reacts with silicon at the diffusion temperature (usually 900 ℃) to generate silicon dioxide and phosphorus atoms, phosphorus silicate glass is formed on the surface of a silicon wafer, and then the phosphorus atoms are diffused into the silicon to form a p-n junction. When the phosphorus oxychloride is decomposed thermally, the decomposition is not sufficient without oxygen, the generated phosphorus pentachloride is not easy to decompose, and the phosphorus pentachloride has corrosion effect on silicon and can damage the surface state of a silicon wafer. However, in the presence of oxygen, phosphorus pentachloride is further decomposed into phosphorus pentoxide and gives off chlorine, which is a highly toxic gas with a strong pungent odor. At present, the anti-reflection layer-silicon nitride of the crystalline silicon cell is prepared by using a Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) method, which is the most expensive equipment required in the process of preparing the cell, and the used reaction gas silane is toxic, flammable and explosive.
Since phosphorus oxychloride liquid and silane gas used in the conventional preparation process of the crystalline silicon solar cell are toxic, flammable and explosive, waste gas needs to be treated before being discharged into the atmosphere, and the cost for depositing silicon nitride by using the PECVD method is high, a simple, environment-friendly and low-cost preparation method of the crystalline silicon cell needs to be developed. The use of spin coating phosphoric acid (H) on silicon wafers has been reported in the literature3PO4) The solution is then annealed at high temperature to achieve the purpose of phosphorus diffusion doping. The phosphorus doping principle is as follows: phosphoric acid loses part of water at 213 ℃ and becomes pyrophosphoric acid (H)4P2O7) At 300 deg.C, a water molecule is lost and becomes metaphosphoric acid (HPO)3) When the temperature continues to rise to 480 ℃, all water molecules lose to form phosphorus pentoxide. Phosphorus pentoxide reacts with silicon at diffusion temperatures to form silicon dioxide and phosphorus atoms. In order to increase the stability of the phosphoric acid spin-coating solution, organic solvents such as ethanol, isopropanol or dibutanol are usually added, but from the existing literature, the wetting property of the phosphoric acid spin-coating solution and the silicon surface is poor, so that the spin-coating solution is difficult to be uniformly spin-coated on the silicon surface, and the uniformity of the phosphorus doping concentration on the silicon surface is poor. In addition, in order to increase the light absorption of the silicon wafer, texturing is usually performed on the surface of the silicon wafer, and spin coating of a phosphoric acid doping solution on the surface of the textured silicon wafer results in that the spin coating solution is difficult to reach the bottom of a pyramid on the surface of the silicon wafer, so that the uniformity of phosphorus doping is also poor.
In order to replace the silicon nitride anti-reflection film deposited by the PECVD method, a silicon dioxide spin coating solution is used to form silicon dioxide at a high temperature or form a silicon dioxide anti-reflection film during high-temperature oxidation, but the Fire-through (Fire-through) capability of silver paste in the silicon dioxide film is very weak, so that the contact performance between a silver electrode and silicon is poor, the contact resistance is increased, and the efficiency of the battery is affected. Because titanium dioxide has a better fire-through function than silicon dioxide when silver paste is sintered at high temperature, silver can penetrate through titanium dioxide to form good electric contact.
In conclusion, the process for preparing the titanium dioxide anti-reflection layer and the phosphorus diffusion layer of the crystalline silicon solar cell with low cost is developed, the uniform distribution of the phosphorus doping concentration on the silicon surface is ensured, the titanium dioxide film and the silver paste have good burn-through function, and the process has important significance for reducing the production cost of the crystalline silicon solar cell and reducing the pollution to the environment.

The efficiency of the crystalline silicon solar prepared by the solution method is much lower than that of a battery prepared by the current industrialized phosphorus oxychloride diffusion method, and test analysis shows that the crystalline silicon solar prepared by the solution method is mainly caused by the reasons of poor passivation performance of the front and rear surfaces, low minority carrier lifetime, high surface reflectivity and the like. However, by optimizing the process parameters, the passivation contact function of the surface of the silicon wafer is enhanced, and the surface reflection of the silicon wafer is reduced, the simple, cheap and nontoxic manufacturing process provided by the invention can realize the efficiency equivalent to that of the industrial production crystalline silicon solar cell of phosphorus oxychloride diffusion and silicon nitride deposition by a PECVD method.
