In this study, we proposed an anti-reflection (AR) texture constructed with nano-scale silicon dioxide particle dispersed in Accuglass® T-11 solution to form the structure on the glass by two-steps spin coating technique. We demonstrated the transmittance of the glass with AR texture will be enhanced about 2 % under optimal manufactured conditions. And we have proposed the simulated out-door endurance testing of AR texture which can provide the acceptable transmittance at different relative humidity levels. Based on these findings, we believe that the AR texture with SiO2 nanospheres on the cover glass can be useful in the applications of solar cell, thermal collector, and display device under appropriate environmental conditions.

Photoelectric Properties

a method combining Csesium Chloride (CsCl) self-assembly and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching has been used to fabricate nanopillars with high aspect ratio structures on sillicon wafer. The silicon surface with nanopillars of average diameter 350nm and aspect ratios 4, like black wafer, has very low reflectivity at a width of light spectrum. After diffusion of phosphorus (P) and passivation of SiO2 layer on the pillars surface, the reflectivity has been reduced more to below 3% for wavelength from 400nm to 800nm, which could meet the requirement of antireflection for solar cells. What’s more, the reflectivity of nanopillar surface could not obey the formula of reflection to increase with the incident angle of light like planar, and has almost unchanged small values at incident angle of 10°-50°. The solar cell with nanopillars has been fabricated with thermal diffusion of P, chemical deposion of Cu electrode with UV lithography. Its I×V output power of photoelectric property has been measured with sunlight at different time in one day corresponding to different incident angle, and measure of common solar cell is done at the same time for comparation. In order to select the inflection factor of incident angle, the data of output power have been united by dividing max value for nanopillar and common solar cells individually. The united curve of nanopillars cell shows obviously larger value than that of common cell at above incident angle of about 15°, which means nanopillars cell could have the potential ability to offer more electric energy production daily than that of common solar cell.

One Step

We report an anti-reflective cover glass for Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin film solar cells. Subwavelength structures (SWSs) were fabricated on top of a cover glass using one-step self-masked etching. The etching method resulted in dense whiskers with high aspect ratio. The produced structure exhibited excellent anti-reflective properties over a broad wavelength range, from the ultraviolet to the near infrared. Compared to a flat-surface glass, the average transmittance of the glass integrated with the SWSs improved from 92.4% to 95.2%. When the cover glass integrated with the SWSs was mounted onto the top of a CIGS device, the short-circuit current and the efficiency of the solar cell were enhanced by 4.38 and 6%, respectively, compared with a CIGS solar cell without cover glass.
