第十七届中国光伏学术大会（CPVC17）将于2017年8月29日-9月1日在内蒙古自治区呼和浩特市召开！作为CPVC17重要边会暨第三届碲化镉材料与太阳能电池技术国际研讨会由中国可再生能源学会光伏专业委员会、《太阳能发电》杂志联合举办，中国科学院电工研究所与美国科罗拉多州立大学联合组织。本届研讨会特邀国内外顶级专家莅临会场，与国内专家、学者、企业代表共聚一堂，交流、总结碲化镉材料与太阳能电池技术研究的最新成果，讨论今后的研究重点与技术发展方向，开拓国际合作空间，推动碲化镉薄膜太阳电池技术的深入发展。

　　近几年，碲化镉薄膜太阳电池技术在国际上的发展却非常迅速，无论是在产业上还是基础研究上都取得令人瞩目的进步。产业化方面，2015年6月大面积电池组件（7038.8cm²）效率达到18.6%，超过多晶硅组件17.7%的全面积效率。这意味着，碲化镉薄膜太阳电池已经打破了人们对薄膜太阳电池低成本、低效率的传统认识，而成为一种低成本、高效率的太阳电池。美国First Solar在2015年的产量超过2GW，0.72㎡组件产线平均效率达到了16-17%，组件售价也降到$0.40/Wp左右。更在近期公布开发第六代（G6）面积为2.16 m² 、400W大组件的计划。基础研究方面，2011年以来，CdTe太阳电池的效率世界纪录连续九次被突破，美国First Solar公司于2016年公布了实验室电池转换效率22.1%的新世界纪录，已经超过多晶硅电池的实验室效率。但开路电压一直是碲化镉薄膜太阳电池的短板，过去性能较好电池的开路电压基本上分布在800 ~ 850 mV区间。NREL和Washington State Univ.等多家单位联合攻关，于2015-2016年取得重要的突破性进展，基于体单晶CdTe的器件开路电压历史性地突破1.0 V。几乎在同期Arizona State Univ.的团队采用分子束外延制备的CdTe单晶薄膜与硅薄膜结合制备结电池，开路电压也达到1.12 V。2017年Colorado State University采用MZO窗口层替代CdS、CdSeTe增大吸收层的吸收波段、Te背接触等技术实现了19.1%的转换效率和超过28mA/cm2的短路电流密度。这些进展无疑对碲化镉太阳电池的发展起到重大的指导意义。碲化镉电池技术无疑是非常值得期待的。

　　演讲题目　CdTe Photovoltaics for Sustainable ElectricityGeneration

　　内容摘要　Energy sustainability represents one of the grand challenges facing modern society, and CdTe thin film solar photovoltaics provide the best opportunity for rapidly expanding renewable energy. CdTe PV is currently competitive for generating electricity in many parts of the world providing electricity at 7-9 US cents/kWh from utility scale projects without subsidy and the costs are decreasing rapidly. Recently an agreement was made to sell electricity from CdTe PV from a new 100 MW field at 3.87 US cents/kWh. There are no technical barriers to substantial increase in CdTe PV production. In our center, CdTe research has been ongoing since 1991. Device efficiency of 18.3% (independently certified) on low cost soda-lime glass substrates using a low cost sublimation process with two minute cycle time in modest vacuum has been demonstrated. Efficiencies of 19.1% without anti-reflection coating have been measured on these substrates. The current research focus is to significantly increase device efficiency and increase module life from 25 years to 50 years to facilitate the US Dept. of Energy (DOE) goal of 2-3 US cents/kWh while maintaining a direct line of sight to GW scale manufacturing.

　　演讲题目　Toward 25% CdTe Solar Cell Efficiency

　　内容摘要　In 2015, First Solar set a new CdTe solar cell efficiency record at 21.1%. Thanks to ZnTe back contact that has higher work function and better chemical affinity with Cu, FF and light soak stability of CdTe devices were significantly improved. The 31.7mA/cm2 record Jsc was accomplished by elimination of window layer and alloying with Se. Increased Voc has been mostly driven by a nearly two-decade improvement of minority carrier lifetime (from ~1 ns to 100 ns). Our collaboration on DOE fPACE2 program partners also demonstrated that CdTe as a material is as good as GaAs and 25% device efficiency should be possible.

　　　Achieving 25% efficiency requires some breakthrough on absorber doping and/or reduction of back surface recombination. Recently, we have been able to consistently produce As-doped CdTe with greater than 1016 cm-3 hole concentration in poly-crystalline devices. We have demonstrated 906 mV Voc, and 18.2% efficiency separately, both on Cu-free devices, As-doped devices showed excellent stability. Nevertheless SRH recombination in such devices were apparently higher than that of Cu-doped devices, which limits further Voc improvement.

　　　As far as back surface passivation, a few materials such as Cd1-xMgxTe showed promise on reduction of CdTe surface recombination velocity. Enhanced Voc was demonstrated on thin absorber devices with back surface passivation layer. However, many back surface passivation materials we investigated exhibited an unfavorable valence band offset hence to block hole transport. Furthermore, some materials may not be manufacturing friendly, for example that Cd1-xMgxTe is easy to oxidize in our study.

　　　In summary, we have made great accomplishment in the last couple of years on CdTe solar cell efficiency improvement, and have hence developed stronger confidence on CdTe efficiency entitlement. In order to reaching 25% efficiency target, we must overcome significant process and device integration challenges specific to polycrystalline CdTe material engineering.

　　演讲题目　Acceptor doping of CdTe solar cells:benefits and limitations

　　内容摘要　Acceptor doping of CdTe solar cells has traditionally been realized by diffusion of Cu from the back contact. Controlling the exact dose of Cu on the back contact is critical to avoid defect formation at the junction. The best doping concentrations for Cu are around 1E15 but to achieve a high Voc it is necessary to go to higher concentrations in the 1E16 – 1E17 range. Using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) we have introduced As as an acceptor dopant in the 1E16 – 1E17 range. This talk will describe recent results on the As doping process, high As doping back contacts and SCAPS modeling of the doped devices. The benefits and some disadvantages of high acceptor concentrations will be discussed along with prospects for Voc to exceed 1 Volt in polycrystalline PV cells.

　　演讲题目　Correlative Optical Microscopy and Spectroscopy of Charge Carrier Lifetimes, Mobilities, and Space Charge Fields in CdTe Solar Cells

　　内容摘要　Recombination limits solar cell efficiency, and understanding /reducing recombination is the focus of many research efforts. Our approach to identifying defect locations is based on carrier generation with a focused laser beam in well-defined regions in the solar cell. Two-photon excitation (2PE) enables analysis beyond the surface region, and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) acquisition enables studies of interfaces, space charge region, and the absorber bulk. Optical microscopy with excitation beam focused to a radius less than the carrier diffusion length allows analysis of carrier transport characteristics. In addition, correlative measurements of Second Harmonics Generation (SHG) are a novel optical probe for space charge fields in CdTe solar cells. We will present results for single crystal, epitaxial, and polycrystalline CdTe materials and devices. We will also compare electro-optical properties of various types of chalcogenide solar cells.

　　演讲题目　First-principles Study of Defect Control in Thin-film Photovoltaic Materials

　　内容摘要　First-principles study of photovoltaic (PV) materials plays an important role in developing PV technologies because it can provide useful physical insights, fresh perspective and new design principles for developing innovative PV materials with high solar cell efficiency and reduced cost. A good solar cell absorber material should have appropriate band gap (1.0 ~ 1.5 eV) with high solar light absorption and correct band location/alignment relative to the extraction layers to form a good interface with contacting layer. More importantly, a good solar cell material also should have good defect properties so that it can be doped well such that charge carriers can be created easily to generate the required electric field and has less defect-induced recombination centers such that it has high carrier life time and minority carrier mobility so photo-generated charge can be easily collected. Currently, most issues related to PV absorbers can be traced back to certain defect related issues. In this talk, using thin-film solar cell absorber materials CdTe, CIGS, and CZTS as examples, I will discuss how theoretical first-principles studies can be used to better understand the defect properties and improve the solar cell performance.
