A single-layer graphene film was grown on copper foil by chemical vapor deposition and transferred onto a silicon-pillar-array (SPA) substrate to make a Schottky junction solar cell. The SPA substrate was specifically designed to suppress reflectance and enhance light absorption. The energy conversion efficiency of the prepared graphene/SPA solar cells achieved a maximum of 2.90% with a junction area of 0.09 cm(2). HNO(3) was employed to dope the graphene in the solar cells, and the time dependence of HNO(3) treatment on the cell performance was studied. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrenesulfonic acid (PEDOT-PSS) was also introduced in graphene/SPA solar cells by spin coating on top of the graphene film, and its modification on the cell performance was characterized. The results show that both HNO(3) and the PEDOT-PSS film could enhance the energy conversion efficiency of graphene/SPA solar cells.
单层石墨烯薄膜通过化学气相沉积在铜箔上生长,并转移到硅柱阵列(SPA)衬底上,以制造肖特基结太阳能电池。SPA 衬底的设计目的是抑制反射率并增强光吸收。制备的石墨烯/SPA 太阳能电池的能量转换效率最高达到 2.90%,结面积为 0.09 cm(2)。使用 HNO(3)对太阳能电池中的石墨烯进行掺杂,并研究了 HNO(3)处理时间对电池性能的影响。通过在石墨烯薄膜上旋涂聚(3,4-亚乙基二氧噻吩)聚苯乙烯磺酸(PEDOT-PSS),也将其引入石墨烯/SPA 太阳能电池中,并对其对电池性能的修饰进行了表征。结果表明,HNO(3)和 PEDOT-PSS 薄膜都可以提高石墨烯/SPA 太阳能电池的能量转换效率。
