Problems solved by technology

The contact between molybdenum and the light absorbing layer of the solar cell has the following problems: (1) there are interface defects at the interface between the molybdenum electrode and the light absorbing layer, which promotes the recombination of photogenerated carriers at the back interface and reduces the short-circuit current of the battery; (2) the surface of the metal molybdenum exists Impurities such as oxides affect the contact between the electrode and the light-absorbing layer and increase the series resistance; (3) The work function of metal molybdenum does not match the energy band of the semiconductor light-absorbing layer, which hinders carrier transport

Abstract

The invention provides a copper-based thin film solar cell positive electrode and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method of the copper-based thin film solar cell positive electrode comprises the following steps of preparing a Mo metal electrode on a substrate; and treating the Mo metal electrode by using an ammonium phosphate solution to obtain the copper-based thin film solar cell positive electrode. According to the method, the ammonium phosphate solution is used for treating the Mo metal electrode, and NH4 <+> is used for etching the surface of the Mo metal electrode, so thatthe interface defect mode is reduced, and the contact between the positive electrode and a light absorption layer is more matched. Meanwhile, PO43- adjusts the work function of metal Mo, so that the metal Mo is matched with the energy band of the light absorption layer. Through processing, the short-circuit current density of the cell is greatly improved, so that the efficiency is improved. The process for treating the Mo metal electrode with the ammonium phosphate solution is simple, and the manufacturing cost of the solar cell is reduced.
