What are carrier-selective contact-based silicon heterojunction solar cells?

Carrier-selective contact-based silicon heterojunction solar cells are fabricated using nickel oxide (NiOx) as a hole-selective layer by thermal evaporation. The highest power conversion efficiency of ≈15.20% with a chemically grown SiOxinterlayer is achieved from a Ag/ITO/NiOx/n-Si/LiFx/Al cell structure in comparison with ≈12.43% without SiOx.

What are heterojunction solar cells (HJT)?

Heterojunction solar cells (HJT), variously known as Silicon heterojunctions (SHJ) or Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin Layer (HIT), are a family of photovoltaic cell technologies based on a heterojunction formed between semiconductors with dissimilar band gaps.

What are silicon-based heterojunction solar cells (Si-HJT)?

Silicon-based heterojunction solar cells (Si-HJT) are a hot topic within crystalline silicon photovoltaic as it allows for solar cells with record-efficiency energy conversion up to 26.6% (Fig. 1, see also Yoshikawa et al., Nature Energy 2, 2017).

What is the structure of a heterojunction solar cell?

On the back side, an electron collecting stack is used, and it is composed of an intrinsic a-Si:H passivation layer, a doped n-type amorphous silicon (both deposited by PECVD), a TCO layer and a metallic contacting layer (deposited by PVD). Figure 2: Left: Schematic diagram of a heterojunction solar cell (not to scale).

Are silicon heterojunction solar cells based on hole-selective MoOx contacts viable?

Cryst. silicon heterojunction solar cells based on hole-selective MoOx contacts provide obvious merits in terms of the decent passivation and carrier selectivity but face the challenge of long-term stability.

What are some examples of low-thermal budget silicon heterojunction solar cells?

The prominent examples are low-thermal budget silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells and high-thermal budget tunnel-oxide passivating contacts (TOPCon) or doped polysilicon (poly-Si) on oxide junction (POLO) solar cells (see Fig. 1 (e)– (g)).
