Abstract

The invention discloses a metal diffusion barrier layer between a flexible metal substrate and a back electrode of a solar battery, and a preparation method thereof. According to the invention, nickel coating layers and nickel-molybdenum alloy coating layers are alternately plated on a flexible metal substrate, and then subjected to rapid heat treatment to obtain a multi-layer coating of a laminar structure to serve as a diffusion barrier layer, wherein the nickel coating layers are directly connected with the metal substrate; and the nickel-molybdenum alloy coating layers are connected with the back electrode. Based on material selection and the design of the multi-layer laminar structure, the coating layers can effectively barrier the diffusion of substrate elements to a battery body, and no new harmful element is introduced. Meanwhile, the metal diffusion barrier layer has a higher bonding force with the substrate and the back electrode, and can be manufactured with low cost and high efficiency in the continuous electroplating manner.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a metal diffusion barrier between a flexible metal substrate and a back electrode of a solar cell and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a method for preparing a multilayer metal coating on a flexible metal substrate as a CIGS solar cell diffusion barrier. Background technique [0002] A solar cell is a device that converts light energy into electrical energy. Among them, thin-film solar cells with a chalcopyrite phase (including solar cells such as copper indium selenide, copper indium sulfur, and copper indium gallium selenide, hereinafter referred to as CIGS) have stable performance, Strong anti-radiation ability, its photoelectric conversion efficiency is currently the first among all kinds of thin film solar cells, wide spectral response range, and the output power is higher than any other type of solar cells under the light intensity of rainy days, it is known internationally as the most promising solar cell in...
