Gaining New Insights into Solar Cell Development

Researchers at澳大利亚国立大学(ANU) have come up with a method to enhance the performance of silicon photovoltaic (PV) or solar cells.

这是通过在太阳能电池的金属和硅部分之间添加所谓的“钝化接触”来执行的,从而使其高效。

这些发现将有助于推动硅太阳能电池的性能更接近其理论极限.每天,太阳产生的能量明显超过为整个星球供电所需的能量。唯一的限制是我们有能力经济转化为电力.

太阳能电池是具有将光子形式转换为电能的潜力的潜力。据称,由于与金属与硅的直接接触有关的相当大的电损耗,太阳能电池没有以其最大的能力发挥作用。

过渡金属氧化物(例如氧化钛)具有许多品质,使其成为钝化接触层的理想.这不是一个新想法,但是我们将这些层组合的方式比以前报道的任何东西都产生了更好的结果和更高的操作电压.

Dr Lachlan Black, Australian National University

The research group is wishing to develop the technology to a level where it can be employed in industrial solar cells on a large scale.

光伏市场被称为数十亿美元的行业,其硅太阳能电池总计多达95%的商用太阳能电池。鉴于他们对竞争对手的有益特性,预计他们将在可预测的未来中保持占主导地位。

Dr Black stated, “If successful, we could see our technology in almost all new solar panels installed on your roof or utility-scale solar plants。”

在实施技术之前,仍然需要解决一些实际问题。但是,PV社区已经在努力解决这些困难。

Improving the efficiency of solar cells guarantees more clean energy at a reduced cost. This not only helps to address climate change, but opens up new economic opportunities for this low-cost clean energy.
