Problems solved by technology

However, the above method is still limited, mainly because it has the following two disadvantages: (1) the light loss of the metal reflective film is large, and the reflection efficiency cannot be very high; (2) although the metal reflective film has a high Reflectivity, but its reflection principle is specular reflection. The incident light (except for vertical incident light) that reaches the surface of the metal reflective film changes after specular reflection, and the efficiency of returning to the solar cell is not high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and relates to a photoretroreflective counter electrode of a solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] A solar cell is a device that directly converts light energy into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect or photochemical effect. When sunlight irradiates on the photosensitive layer, a small part of the light is reflected by the surface, another small part of the light is absorbed by the photosensitive layer, and most of the light is transmitted. Obviously, if the transmitted light is not utilized, this part of the light will be wasted. [0003] At present, in order to improve the efficiency of solar cells, it is a simple and effective way to place a metal film on the back of the counter electrode. By adding a layer of metal reflective film on the back of the counter electrode, the underutilized light transmitted from the photoanode is reflecte...
