英文摘要： The development of novel high efficient photovoltaic cells is to strive for the goal to solve the existing energy crisis. The project aims at developing the intermediate band solar cells (IBSC) in which the highly mismatch alloy ZnTe:O acts as the absorbing layer. This alloys system has great potentials to realize the promise of high photon-electron conversion efficiency because of its unique absorption property, relatively simple structure and low cost. The project will conduct the systematic research on some key scientific issues and technical difficulties currently existing in ZnTe:O IB photovoltaic materials, including the aspects of electronic bandstructure engineering, high quality materials epitaxy, and device fabrication. The research will focus on developing high quality ZnTe:O IB materials on the large mismatched substrate and on controlling the oxygen composition beyond its solid solubility limit through low-temperature non-equilibrium growth and auxiliary means of ion implantation. In addition to the oxygen content, the project intends to develop ZnMgTe:O quaternary alloys to ensure large room for optimizing IB energy level positions and electron occupation status and thus to expand the absorption spectrum without sacrificing the open-circuit voltage.Based on the optimal epitaxy of materials, the p
