Problems solved by technology

In addition, it is reported that its energy conversion efficiency can be higher than 20%, but the current energy conversion efficiency of solar cells is still low. In order to further improve the energy conversion efficiency of the battery, the researchers proposed a double-sided solar cell that simultaneously absorbs sunlight on both sides of the solar cell. At present, the research on double-sided solar cells is mainly concentrated on crystalline silicon solar cells. Few people have studied double-sided thin-film solar cells. The process is more complicated, and the material consumption also increases accordingly, thus greatly increasing the product cost
[0003] Therefore, the current research on double-sided thin film solar cells still needs to be deepened.

Embodiment 1

[0061] Test sample: Spiro-OMeTAD hole transport layers with different thicknesses are sequentially formed on a glass transparent substrate to obtain a test sample.

[0062] Test method: Test the light absorption properties of the above test samples under AM1.5G conditions, see the test results and AM1.5G spectral irradiance distribution Figure 9 .

[0063] Figure 9 The spectral irradiance distribution of AM1.5G and the absorption properties of the Spiro-OMeTAD hole transport layer as a function of wavelength and thickness are shown. exist Figure 9 It can be seen that Spiro-OMeTAD, which is a hole transport layer, has a large absorption of light in the wavelength range of 300-400 nm. While this is no problem for single-sided cells (light irradiation on the front side only), in the case of light irradiation on the back side (bifacial cells), although light incidence from both sides has a larger current gain, the There is still some optical loss. Since the light absorptio...

Abstract

The invention provides a thin-film solar cell and a preparation method thereof. The thin-film solar cell includes a transparent electrode, a perovskite light-absorbing layer, a hole transport layer and a metal electrode stacked in sequence, wherein the metal electrode has a plurality of openings arranged at intervals , the opening penetrates the metal electrode and the bottom of the opening extends into the hole transport layer. In the battery, double-sided power generation can be realized by setting openings, and the light absorption of the hole transport layer can be suppressed without causing obvious resistive loss, thereby improving the utilization rate of sunlight and improving the energy conversion efficiency of the battery.
