Title:
PLANAR STRUCTURE SOLAR CELL WITH INORGANIC HOLE TRANSPORTING MATERIAL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/002201
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method is provided for forming a planar structure solar cell. Generally, the method forms a transparent conductive electrode, with a planar layer of a first metal oxide adjacent to the transparent conductive electrode. For example, the first metal oxide may be an n-type metal oxide. A semiconductor absorber layer is formed adjacent to the first metal oxide, comprising organic and inorganic materials. A p-type semiconductor hole-transport material (HTM) layer is formed adjacent to the semiconductor absorber layer, and a metal electrode is formed adjacent to the HTM layer. In one aspect, the HTM layer is an inorganic material such as a p-type metal oxide. Some explicit examples of HTM materials include stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric molybdenum (VI) oxide, stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric vanadium (V) oxide, stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric nickel (II) oxide, and stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric copper (I) oxide. Also provide are planar solar cell devices.
