  • 最近, 旋涂法制备的钙钛矿/平面硅异质结高效叠层太阳电池引起人们广泛关注, 主要原因是相比于绒面硅衬底制备的钙钛矿/硅叠层太阳电池, 其制备工艺简单、制备成本低且效率高. 对于平面a-Si:H/c-Si异质结电池, a-Si:H/c-Si界面的良好钝化是获得高转换效率的关键, 进而决定了钙钛矿/硅异质结叠层太阳电池的性能. 本文主要从硅片表面处理、a-Si:H钝化层和P型发射极等方面展开研究, 通过对硅片表面的氢氟酸(HF)浸泡时间和氢等离子体预处理气体流量、a-Si:H钝化层沉积参数、钝化层与P型发射极(I/P)界面富氢等离子体处理的综合调控, 获得了相应的优化工艺参数. 对比研究了p-a-Si:H和p-nc-Si:H两种缓冲层材料对I/P界面的影响, 其中高电导、宽带隙的p-nc-Si:H缓冲层既能够降低I/P界面的缺陷态, 又可以增强P型发射层的暗电导率, 提高了前表面场效应钝化效果. 通过上述优化, 制备出最佳的P-type emitter layer/a-Si:H(i)/c-Si/a-Si:H(i)/N-type layer (inip)结构样品的少子寿命与implied-Voc分别达到2855 μs和709 mV, 表现出良好的钝化效果. 应用于平面a-Si:H/c-Si异质结太阳电池, 转换效率达到18.76%, 其中开路电压达到681.5 mV, 相对于未优化的电池提升了34.3 mV. 将上述平面a-Si:H/c-Si异质结太阳电池作为底电池, 对应的钙钛矿/硅异质结叠层太阳电池的开路电压达到1780 mV, 转换效率达到21.24%, 证明了上述工艺优化能够有效地改善叠层太阳电池中的硅异质结底电池的钝化及电池性能.

     

    Recently, the monolithic spin-coating perovskite/planar silicon heterojunction tandem solar cells with high performance have attracted attention mainly due to simple fabrication, low preparation cost and high efficiency, especially compared with fully textured multi-junction perovskite/silicon tandem device. As is well known, the excellent passivation of a-Si:H/c-Si interface is the key to achieving a high-efficiency planar silicon heterojunction solar cell, which further improves the performance of the corresponding tandem cell. Therefore, we investigate the elements affecting a-Si:H/c-Si interface passivation, including the c-Si surface treatment technique, a-Si:H passivation layer and P-type emitter layer and so on. In these experiments, we adjust the immersed time of diluent hydrofluoric acid and pre-deposited hydrogen plasma with different gas mixture flows. Also, the suitable deposition parameters of intrinsic a-Si:H passivation layer are regulated by varying hydrogen dilution and time, and variously slight silane content is embedded into i-a-Si:H /P-type (I/P) emitter interface by hydrogen-rich plasma treating which is for acquiring optimal experimental processing conditions to promote the chemical passivation. In addition, the p-a-Si:H and p-nc-Si:H are comparatively studied as buffer layers to further improve the I/P interface passivation by varying the hydrogen dilution in the gas mixture during deposition. It can be found that p-nc-Si:H buffer layer with high conductivity and wide bandgap can not only reduce the defect density at the I/P interface, but also increase the conductivity of P-type emitter, which further improves the field passivation effect. By the above- mentioned optimization, the highest minority carrier lifetime and implied open-circuit voltage (iVoc) of the structure of P-type emitter/a-Si:H(i)/c-Si/a-Si:H(i)/N-type layer (inip) sample can respectively reach 2855 μs and 709 mV, which demonstrates authentically outstanding passivation performance. An efficiency of 18.76% can be obtained for the planar a-Si/c-Si heterojunction solar cell with a Voc of 681.5 mV, which is 34.3 mV higher than that of the reference device. Regarding the optimized planar a-Si:H/c-Si heterojunction solar cell as the bottom cell, we also obtain an efficiency of 21.24% for perovskite/silicon heterojunction tandem solar cell with an open-circuit voltage of 1780 mV, which proves that the above strategies are very effective for improving the passivation optimization and performance of bottom cell in the tandem device.
