    摘要: Disclosed are a high-efficiency cadmium telluride thin-film solar cell and a preparation method therefor. The solar cell comprises a substrate layer, a window layer, a light-absorbing layer and a back electrode layer, which are sequentially arranged from bottom to top, wherein the window layer is made of magnesium-doped zinc oxide, the light-absorbing layer is an arsenic-doped tellurium-selenium-cadmium thin-film layer, and the back electrode layer is made of a composite metal material of molybdenum, aluminum and chromium. According to the present invention, the tellurium-selenium-cadmium thin-film layer is doped with a proper amount of As instead of Cu in an electric injection regeneration manner, so that the high p-type doping density is realized, Voc > 1V, a conversion efficiency > 23%, the conversion efficiency is high. The whole preparation process is simple to operate and easy to control.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a cadmium telluride solar cell and a preparation method thereof. The method includes: providing a substrate, and forming a window layer on a first surface of the substrate, wherein the window layer is made of magnesium-doped zinc oxide; forming a light absorbing layer on a surface of the window layer, wherein the light absorbing layer includes a composite layer of cadmium selenide, selenium-doped cadmium telluride, and cadmium telluride; and forming a back electrode layer on a surface of the light absorbing layer. The use of the composite structure of cadmium selenide, selenium-doped cadmium telluride, and cadmium telluride allows the solar cell to absorb long-wavelength and short-wavelength light to the maximum, increases the short-circuit current density of the cell, and improves the efficiency of the cell. In addition, the window layer including magnesium-doped zinc oxide of the solar cell serves as a buffer layer to reduce the recombination of charge carriers between interfaces. Finally, the composite layer of cadmium selenide, selenium-doped cadmium telluride, and cadmium telluride that has a selenium-doped gradient can effectively prevent the diffusion of copper ions to the window layer of magnesium-doped zinc oxide, and reduce the formation of deep-level defects, thereby improving the initial performance and long-term stability of the solar cell.

    摘要: The subject matter of the present invention is a method for treating the CdTe layer of semifinished thin-film solar products in a superstrate configuration, having a CdTe layer as the uppermost layer. According to the state of the art, these surfaces are subjected to an NP etching and are then coated. However, the tellurium oxides formed during the NP etching have proven to be a disadvantage for the subsequent coating steps. It is therefore proposed that the tellurium oxides that are present should be reduced to tellurium using a reducing agent in a further treatment step.
