研究目的
Investigating the potential to improve solar cell efficiency with low material usage through the development of thicker amorphous silicon passivation and contact layers and laser firing for low contact resistance.
研究成果
The research achieved a new in-house record efficiency of 15.1% for liquid-phase-crystallized silicon (LPC-Si) solar cells on glass substrates, with a clear pathway to reach 16% efficiency through optimization of series resistance. The study highlights the potential of LPC-Si technology to reduce material usage and energy consumption in solar cell production.
研究不足
The study is limited by the current technology's ability to optimize series resistance and the need for further development in texturing alternatives for the absorber morphology to improve fill-factor.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a bottom-up approach to create silicon solar cells using a line-shaped laser. The methodology included the deposition of amorphous/nanocrystalline silicon on glass, crystallization with a laser, and the implementation of heterojunction interdigitated back contact (HJ-IBC) architecture.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples consisted of polycrystalline silicon on glass substrates with varying thicknesses of amorphous silicon layers.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a continuous wave diode laser for crystallization, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) for layer deposition, and a solar simulator for J-V measurements. Materials included Corning? Eagle XG? glass substrates and various silicon layers.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The process involved cleaning glass substrates, depositing silicon layers, laser crystallization, deposition of passivation and contact layers, and laser firing to reduce contact resistance.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data analysis included transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for layer thickness assessment, J-V measurements for electrical characterization, and quantum efficiency measurements.
