PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH A NANOWIRE-BASED TRANSPARENT CONDUCTIVE LAYER AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING SUCH A DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a photovoltaic device (2') comprising the following steps: - providing at least one photovoltaic cell (2) comprising • a stack (21) of semiconductor layers; and • a first porous layer (22) formed from nanowires made of a conductor and placed on a first face of the stack (21) of semiconductor layers, the first porous layer of nanowires being electrically conductive and transparent to incident radiation; - depositing a first network of collecting electrodes (23) on the photovoltaic cell (2), in contact with the first porous layer (22) of nanowires; and - pressing the photovoltaic cell (2) with a first layer (24) formed from an encapsulating material that is transparent to the incident radiation, so that the encapsulating material impregnates the first porous layer (22) of nanowires and coats the first network of collecting electrodes (23).
