Abstract

The invention discloses a germanium solar cell, a preparation method and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of solar cells. The germanium solar cell provided by the present invention includes a germanium substrate and an epitaxial wafer which are arranged in sequence; the germanium substrate is far from the epitaxial wafer on the side surface, and is provided with a trench; the arrangement direction of the trench is the same as the <111> crystal direction of the germanium substrate staggered. By optimizing the structural design of the germanium solar cell of the present invention, the spherical curvature of the conventional rigid solar cell can be realized, and the weight of the conventional germanium solar cell can be reduced at the same time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular relates to a germanium solar cell and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Existing solar cells mainly include flexible thin-film solar cells and rigid solar cells. Among them, flexible solar cells can be bent to a certain extent and are applicable to a wider range of scenarios; however, generally speaking, flexible solar cells have poor stability and radiation resistance, and have a high performance decay rate. [0003] Therefore, considering the replacement cost of solar cells and the compatibility with existing spacecraft structures, the solar cells mounted on spacecraft are usually rigid solar cells. [0004] Among rigid solar cells, germanium triple junction solar cells have the advantages of conversion efficiency, high radiation resistance threshold, and low performance degradation. However, germanium solar cells also have disadv...
