ABSTRACTWe have studied the effects of a hydrogen-plasma reactive flush between the pand i-layer depositions in fabricating solar cells of glass/TCO/p(a-SiC:H)-i(a-Si:H)-n(a-Si:H)/metal in a single-chamber, glow-discharge deposition system. Spectral response, photoluminescence, and photovoltaic conversion efficiency measurements show that the hydrogen-plasma reactive flush is effective in reducing the p-i interface recombination of charge carriers and in improving solar cell performance.

Abstract In this work last results on optimization of (p)a-Si:H/p-Si ohmic contact made by PECVD method are presented. A strong effect of growth temperature and trimethylboron flow on charge carriers transport was demonstrated. An optimized (p)a-Si:H layer also was successfully applied as an emitter layer to a heterojunction solar cell fabrication where a measured open circuit voltage of 0.65 V was obtained.

Photovoltaic Conversion Efficiency

Si/PEDOT: PSS solar cell is an optional photovoltaic device owing to its promising high photovoltaic conversion efficiency (PCE) and economic manufacture process. In this work, dopamine@graphene was firstly introduced between the silicon substrate and PEDOT:PSS film for Si/PEDOT: PSS solar cell. The dopamine@graphene was proved to be effective in improving the PCE, and the influence of mechanical properties of dopamine@graphene on solar cell performance was revealed. When dopamine@graphene was incorporated into the cell preparation, the antireflection ability of the cell was enhanced within the wavelength range of 300~450 and 650~1100 nm. The enhanced antireflection ability would benefit amount of the photon-generated carriers. The electrochemical impedance spectra test revealed that the introduction of dopamine@graphene could facilitate the separation of carriers and improve the junction quality. Thus, the short-circuit current density and fill factor were both promoted, which led to the improved PCE. Meanwhile, the influence of graphene concentration on device performances was also investigated. The photovoltaic conversion efficiency would be promoted from 11.06% to 13.15% when dopamine@graphene solution with concentration 1.5 mg/mL was applied. The achievements of this study showed that the dopamine@graphene composites could be an useful materials for high-performance Si/PEDOT:PSS solar cells.
