Anti-reflection coating based on mullite for silicon solar cells
Abstract
Antireflection coatings (ARCS) increase the absorption of light and, therefore, a conversion efficiency of solar cells. Mullite was chosen as the ARC material for a silicon (Si) solar cell, the synthesis of which was carried out by melting a charge consisting of a mixture of Al2O3 and SiO2 at a component concentration of 75 and 25 wt.%, respectively. It has been established that the integral reflection (RS) of ARCS based on mullite is about 6.0 times less than for silicon and about 2.5 times less than RS of the coating based on silicon nitride. The electric characteristics measured by the solar simulator before and after vacuum deposition of the mullite film with thickness of 80—85 nm on the solar cell samples showed the increase of short-circuit current up to 49.5% and the rise of efficiency up to 6.8%.
