其中,钙钛矿太阳能电池1在制备过程中通常会使用大型镀膜设备,由于大型镀膜设备的工艺气体、温度、电磁场、等离子体、靶材、蒸发源等工艺 参数的空间分布不均匀,导致钙钛矿吸光层14的厚度均匀性较差。一般地,位于边缘区域的子电池的钙钛矿吸光层14薄于位于中间区域的子电池的钙钛矿吸光层14,从而使边缘区域的子电池的性能差于中间区域的子电池的性能,具体表现为:边缘区域的子电池的输出电流小于中间区域的子电池的输出电流。进而导致边缘区域的子电池和中间区域的子电池的输出电流不匹配,产生限流现象,降低了钙钛矿太阳能电池1的转化效率。
为了缓解上述问题,申请人研究发现,通过增大边缘区域的子电池的栅线的收集电流能力,可以对边缘区域的子电池因自身结构原因导致的低输出电流进行补偿,提高了边缘区域的子电池的输出电流,从而最大程度降低了边缘区域的子电池的输出电流与中间区域的子电池的输出电流之间的差异,改善了边缘区域的子电池和中间区域的子电池的输出电流不匹配造成的限流现象,提高了太阳能电池的转化效率。
本申请实施例公开的太阳能电池可以但不限用于交通领域、通讯/通信领域、石油或海洋领域以及家庭灯具领域。其中,交通领域如航标灯、交通/铁路信号灯、交通警示/标志灯、宇翔路灯、高空障碍灯、高速公路/铁路无线电话亭、无人值守道班供电等。通讯/通信领域如太阳能无人值守微波中继站、光缆维护站、广播/通讯/寻呼电源系统、农村载波电话光伏系统、小型通信机、士兵GPS供电等。石油或海洋领域如石油管道和水库闸门阴极保护太阳能电源系统、石油钻井平台生活及应急电源、海洋检测设备等。家庭灯具领域如庭院灯、路灯、手提灯、野营灯、登山灯、垂钓灯、黑光灯、割胶灯、节能灯等。
第一方面,参照图2和图3所示,本申请实施例提供一种太阳能电池2,该太阳能电池2包括多个子电池21和多个栅线22。
其中,多个子电池21沿第一方向a依次排布,且相互串联。该第一方向 a垂直于太阳能电池2的厚度方向。各子电池21均包括层叠设置的衬底211和第一电极212,衬底211可以是玻璃衬底或PET(Polyethylene Glycol Terephthalate,聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯)衬底。多个子电池21中包括两个第一子电池21a和至少一个第二子电池21b,该至少一个第二子电池21b位于两个第一子电池21a之间。可以理解的是,第二子电池21b的数量可以有多个,该多个第二子电池21b间隔排布于两个第一子电池21a之间。
多个栅线22一一对应地设置于各子电池21的第一电极212上。其中,位于第一子电池21a上的栅线22在该第一子电池21a的第一电极212上的正投影的面积,大于位于第二子电池21b上的栅线22在该第二子电池21b的第一电极212上的正投影的面积。这里的正投影指的是:沿太阳能电池2的厚度方向,栅线22在第一电极212上的投影。
子电池21指构成太阳能电池2的最小电池单元。第一子电池21a指位于太阳能电池2的边缘区域的子电池21,第二子电池21b指位于太阳能电池2的非边缘区域(中间区域)的子电池21。栅线22指用于收集第一电极212上电流的导电金属。栅线22的材质可以是金、银、铜、铝、镍、锌、锡、铁等金属中的任一种或包含上述金属的合金。第一电极212指构成子电池21的前电极或背电极。在本申请实施例中,第一电极212指背电极,栅线22设置在背电极上。
上述设置,相当于使第一子电池21a上的栅线22与第一子电池21a上的第一电极212的接触面积,大于第二子电池21b上的栅线22与第二子电池21b上的第一电极212的接触面积。可以理解的是,栅线22与第一电极212的接触面积更大,栅线22收集电流的能力越强。因此,第一子电池21a上的栅线22的收集电流能力强于第二子电池21b上的栅线22的收集电流能力,从而对第一子电池21a因自身结构原因导致的低输出电流进行了补偿,提高了第一子电池 21a上的输出电流,从而最大程度降低了第一子电池21a的输出电流与第二子电池21b的输出电流之间的差异,改善了第一子电池21a和第二子电池21b的输出电流不匹配造成的限流现象,提高了太阳能电池2的转化效率。
在一些实施例中,栅线22包括两个第一栅线221和至少一个第二栅线222。其中,第一栅线221设置于第一子电池21a的第一电极212上,第二栅线222设置于第二子电池21b的第一电极212上。
第一栅线221指设置于第一子电池21a的第一电极212上的栅线22。第二栅线222指设置于第二子电池21b的第一电极212上的栅线22。
这样,将第一栅线221对应设置在第一子电池21a上,第二栅线222对应设置在第二子电池21b上,可以通过调节第一栅线221和第二栅线222的结构,来使第一栅线221和第二栅线222的收集电流能力不同。
作为一个实施例,第一栅线221包括第一总线2211以及与第一总线2211连接的多条第一支线2212,各第一支线2212均匀地排布于第一总线2211的一侧。第二栅线222包括第二总线2221以及与第二总线2221连接的多条第二支线2222,各第二支线2222均匀地排布于第二总线2221的一侧。
第一总线2211相当于第一栅线221上的“总线”,第一支线2212相当于第一栅线221上的“支线”。第二总线2221相当于第二栅线222上的“总线”,第二支线2222相当于第二栅线22的“支线”。第一支线2212和第二支线2222主要用于收集第一电极212上的电流。各个第一支线2212收集电流后将电流汇集至第一总线2211,第一总线2211将电流传递出去。各个第二支线2222收集电流后将电流汇集至第二总线2221,第二总线2221将电流传递出去。
可以理解的是,第一总线2211沿第一方向a的两侧均可以设置第一支线2212。同样的,第二总线2221沿第一方向a的两侧均可以设置第二支线2222。
作为一个实施例,第一支线2212和第二支线2222均沿第一方向a延伸,第一总线2211的延伸方向与第一支线2212的延伸方向垂直,第二总线2221的延伸方向与第二支线2222的延伸方向垂直。这种设置方式,一方面可以使栅线22比较规整,另一方面可以降低栅线22的制备难度。
在一些实施例中,第一栅线221中的第一支线2212的数量大于第二栅线222中的第二支线2222的数量。第一栅线221中任意相邻两个第一支线2212之间的距离L1,小于第二栅线222中任意相邻两个第二支线2222之间的距离L2。
这样,相当于使第一栅线221上第一支线2212的排布密度大于第二栅线222上第二支线2222的排布密度。由于第一栅线221上第一支线2212的数量更多,相邻第一支线2212间的距离更小,因此,第一栅线221的收集电流能力强于第二栅线222的收集电流能力。
在一些实施例中,各第一支线2212在对应的第一子电池21a的第一电极212上的正投影的面积,等于各第二支线2222在对应的第二子电池21b的第一电极212上的正投影的面积。
可以理解为:各第一支线2212与第一电极212的接触面积等于各第二支线2222与第一电极212的接触面积。在本申请实施例中,可以使第一支线2212和第二支线2222的形状和尺寸均相同。这样,可以降低掩膜板的制备难度,从而降低栅线22的制备难度。在另一个示例中,第一支线2212和第二支线2222的形状和尺寸均不同,也可以保证第一支线2212与第一电极212的接触面积等于第二支线2222与第一电极212的接触面积。
在本申请实施例中,由于第一支线2212和第二支线2222的形状和尺寸均相同,可以使第一栅线221中的第一支线2212的数量大于第二栅线222中的第二支线2222的数量,从而使第一栅线221的收集电流能力强于第二栅线222 的收集电流能力。
在一些实施例中,参照图4所示,各第一支线2212在对应的第一子电池21a的第一电极212上的正投影的面积,大于各第二支线2222在对应的第二子电池21b的第一电极212上的正投影的面积。
可以理解为:各第一支线2212与第一电极212的接触面积大于各第二支线2222与第一电极212的接触面积。
具体地,可以使第一支线2212和第二支线2222在第二方向b上的宽度相等,第一支线2212在第一方向a上的长度大于第二支线2222在第一方向a上的长度;或,可以使第一支线2212和第二支线2222在第一方向a上的长度相等,第一支线2212在第二方向b上的宽度大于第二支线2222在第二方向b上的宽度。本申请实施例对第一支线2212和第二支线2222的具体结构不作限定。
在一个示例中,当第一支线2212与对应的第一电极212的接触面积大于第二支线2222与对应的第一电极212的接触面积时,可以使第一栅线221中的第一支线2212的数量等于第二栅线222中的第二支线2222的数量。这样,在第一栅线221中的第一支线2212和第二栅线222中的第二支线2222的数量相等的情况下,使第一栅线221的收集电流能力强于第二栅线222的收集电流能力。
在另一个示例中,当第一支线2212与对应的第一电极212的接触面积大于第二支线2222与对应的第一电极212的接触面积时,也可以使第一栅线221中的第一支线2212的数量大于第二栅线222中的第二支线2222的数量。这样,可以进一步使第一栅线221的收集电流能力强于第二栅线222的收集电流能力。
在又一个示例中,当第一支线2212与对应的第一电极212的接触面积大 于第二支线2222与对应的第一电极212的接触面积时,还可以使第一栅线221中的第一支线2212的数量小于第二栅线222中的第二支线的数量,但是必须保证第一栅线221与对应的第一电极212的接触面积大于第二栅线222与对应的第一电极212的接触面积,以使第一栅线221的收集电流能力强于第二栅线222的收集电流能力。
通过使各第一支线2212与第一电极212的接触面积大于各第二支线2222与第一电极212的接触面积,可以使第一栅线221中各第一支线2212的收集电流能力大于第二栅线222中各第二支线2222的收集电流能力,从而使第一栅线221的收集电流能力强于第二栅线222的收集电流能力。
在一些实施例中,沿太阳能电池2的厚度方向,各第一支线2212的厚度与各第二支线2222的厚度相等。
这样,一方面,在制备栅线22时,可以通过一次工艺形成厚度均匀的第一支线2212和第二支线2222,避免多次工艺分别形成第一支线2212和第二支线2222,降低了栅线的制备难度;另一方面,当各第一支线2212和各第二支线2222的形状相等的情况下,可以保证各第一支线2212和各第二支线2222的电阻相同,从而使各第一支线2212和各第二支线2222的电流损耗相同。
在一些实施例中,第一支线2212的厚度和第二支线2222的厚度均大于等于20纳米(nm),且小于等于200纳米(nm)。第一支线2212的宽度和第二支线2222的宽度均大于等于20微米,且小于等于100微米。
具体地,以第一支线2212为例,第一支线2212的厚度指:沿太阳能电池2的厚度方向,第一支线2212的上表面距下表面的距离。示例性的,第一支线2212的厚度可以是20nm、30nm、50nm、100nm、150nm、175nm、190nm或200nm。第一支线2212的宽度指第一支线2212在第二方向b上的长度。第 二方向b垂直于第一方向a。示例性的,第一支线2212的宽度可以是20μm、30μm、50μm、60μm、80μm、90μm或100μm。
第一支线2212和第二支线2222的厚度位于上述范围内,可以在保证太阳能电池2厚度较薄的情况下,使第一支线2212和第二支线2222具有一定的结构强度,避免第一支线2212和第二支线2222断裂。第一支线2212和第二支线2222的宽度位于上述范围内,一方面可以保证第一支线2212和第二支线2222的收集电流能力较好,另一方面可以保证子电池21具有一定的光透过率。同时,上述设置可以使第一支线2212和第二支线2222的电阻较小,电流损耗较少,提高太阳能电池2的转化效率。
在一些实施例中,参照图5所示,多个子电池21中还包括两个第三子电池21c,各第二子电池21b位于两个第三子电池21c之间,两个第三子电池21c位于两个第一子电池21a之间。
可以理解为:第一子电池21a位于太阳能电池2的边缘区域,第二子电池21b位于太阳能电池2的中间区域,第三子电池21c位于边缘区域和中间区域之间的过渡区域。因制备工艺影响,第一子电池21a、第二子电池21b和第三子电池21c的性能排序为:第二子电池21b>第三子电池21c>第一子电池21a。
作为一个实施例,第三子电池21c所对应的栅线22在第三子电池21c的第一电极212上的正投影的面积,大于第二子电池21b所对应的栅线22在第二子电池21b的第一电极212上的正投影的面积,且小于第一子电池21a所对应的栅线22在第一子电池21a的第一电极212上的正投影的面积。
作为一个实施例,栅线22可以包括第三栅线223,第三栅线223设置于第三子电池21c的第一电极212上。第三栅线223包括第三总线2231以及与第三总线2231连接的多条第三支线2232,各第三支线2232均匀地排布于第三总 线2231的一侧。并且,第三栅线223与第三子电池21c上的第一电极212的接触面积,大于第二栅线222与第二子电池21b上的第一电极212的接触面积,且小于第一栅线221与第一子电池21a上的第一电极212的接触面积。
这样,可以提高第三栅线223的收集电流能力,从而对第三子电池21c因自身结构原因导致的低电流进行了补偿,提高了第三子电池21c上的输出电流,使第一子电池21a、第二子电池21b和第三子电池21c的输出电流最大程度地匹配,改善了限流现象,提高了太阳能电池2的转化效率。
需要说明的是,第三栅线223的设置方式与第一栅线221的设置方式可以相同,本申请实施例在此不再赘述。
在一些实施例中,参照图3所示,子电池21还包括于衬底211上层叠设置的第二电极213、第一电荷传输层214、吸光层215和第二电荷传输层216,第一电极212设置于第二电荷传输层216背离衬底211的一侧,栅线22设置于第一电极212背离衬底211的一侧。这样,可以使太阳能电池2的结构更优化,降低制备难度的同时可以具有较高的转化效率。
其中,第一电极212和第二电极213的材质可以为导电氧化物,例如:ITO(Indium Tin Oxide,氧化铟锡)、AZO(Antimony Tin Oxide,氧化锡锑)、BZO(硼掺杂氧化锌)、IZO(Indium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟锌)等。
作为一个实施例,太阳能电池2是反式结构,第一电荷传输层214为空穴传输层,第一电荷传输层214包括所有可以用来作为空穴传输层的有机或无机材料。第二电荷传输层216是电子传输层,第二电荷传输层216包括所有可以用来作为电子传输层的有机或无机材料。
作为一个实施例,太阳能电池2是正式结构,第一电荷传输层214为电子传输层,第一电荷传输层214包括所有可以用来作为电子传输层的有机或无 机材料。第二电荷传输层216是空穴传输层,第二电荷传输层216包括所有可以用来作为空穴传输层的有机或无机材料。
在一些实施例中,吸光层215包括钙钛矿层。这样,可以将这种栅线22结构应用于钙钛矿电池,以提高钙钛矿太阳能电池2的转化效率。
在一些实施例中,参照图3所示,各子电池21中还设置有延伸线224。每个延伸线224的一端与所对应的子电池21上的栅线22连接,延伸线224的另一端与所对应的子电池21相邻的子电池21的第二电极213连接。
延伸线224指沿太阳能电池2的厚度方向延伸的导电金属,延伸线224可以认为是栅线22的一部分。延伸线224的主要作用是将相邻的两个子电池21串联。
上述设置通过延伸线224将相邻的子电池21串联,可以实现多个子电池21的整体串联。
在一些实施例中,参照图2所示,栅线22包括两个第一栅线221和至少一个第二栅线222。其中,第一栅线221设置于第一子电池21a的第一电极212上,第二栅线222设置于第二子电池21b的第一电极212上。第一栅线221包括第一总线2211以及与第一总线2211连接的多条第一支线2212,各第一支线2212均匀地排布于第一总线2211的一侧。第二栅线222包括第二总线2221以及与第二总线2221连接的多条第二支线2222,各第二支线2222均匀地排布于第二总线2221的一侧。
其中,第一栅线221中的第一支线2212的数量大于第二栅线222中的第二支线2222的数量。第一栅线221中任意相邻两个第一支线2212之间的距离L1,小于第二栅线222中任意相邻两个第二支线2222之间的距离L2。各第一支线2212在对应的第一子电池21a的第一电极212上的正投影的面积,等于各 第二支线2222在对应的第二子电池21b的第一电极212上的正投影的面积。具体地,第一支线2212和第二支线2222的形状、尺寸和厚度均相同。
这样,一方面,相当于使第一栅线221上第一支线2212的排布密度大于第二栅线222上第二支线2222的排布密度。由于第一栅线221上第一支线2212的数量更多,因此,第一栅线221的收集电流能力强于第二栅线222的收集电流能力;另一方面,可以使所有栅线22的“支线”的尺寸均相等,便于栅线22的制备。
第二方面,参照图6,并且结合图3所示,本申请实施例提供一种太阳能电池的制备方法,包括:
S100:于衬底上形成第一电极。衬底211可以是玻璃衬底或PET衬底。第一电极212的材质可以为导电氧化物,例如:ITO(Indium Tin Oxide,氧化铟锡)、AZO(Antimony Tin Oxide,氧化锡锑)、BZO(硼掺杂氧化锌)、IZO(Indium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟锌)等。第一电极212可以通过真空溅射、反应等离子体溅镀或原子层沉积等工艺进行制备。
S200:于第一电极上形成多个栅线,并形成多个子电池。其中,各子电池21a沿第一方向a依次排布,且相互串联;多个子电池21a中包括两个第一子电池21a和至少一个第二子电池21b,各第二子电池21b位于两个第一子电池21a之间。各栅线22与各子电池21a一一对应,第一子电池21a所对应的栅线22在第一子电池21a的第一电极212上的正投影的面积,大于第二子电池21b所对应的栅线22在第二子电池21b的第一电极212上的正投影的面积。第一方向a垂直于太阳能电池2的厚度方向。
上述太阳能电池的制备方法,通过使第一子电池21a上的栅线22在第一子电池21a上的正投影的面积,大于第二子电池21b上的栅线22在第二子电池 21b上的正投影的面积,从而使第一子电池21a上的栅线22与第一子电池21a上的第一电极212的接触面积,大于第二子电池21b上的栅线22与第二子电池21b上的第一电极212的接触面积。这样,可以使第一子电池21a上的栅线22的收集电流能力强于第二子电池21b上的栅线22的收集电流能力,从而对第一子电池21a因自身结构原因导致的低输出电流进行了补偿,提高了第一子电池21a上的输出电流,从而最大程度降低了第一子电池21a的输出电流与第二子电池21b的输出电流之间的差异,改善了第一子电池21a和第二子电池21b的输出电流不匹配造成的限流现象,提高了太阳能电池2的转化效率。
作为一个实施例,S100:于衬底上形成第一电极的步骤之前,还包括:
S70:于衬底上形成第二电极。第二电极213的材质可以为导电氧化物,例如:ITO(Indium Tin Oxide,氧化铟锡)、AZO(Antimony Tin Oxide,氧化锡锑)、BZO(硼掺杂氧化锌)、IZO(Indium Zinc Oxide,氧化铟锌)等。
S80:于第二电极上进行P1划线刻蚀形成第一沟槽。其中,在第一方向a上,每隔6μm-10mm进行划线,划线宽度为10μm-80μm。P1划线刻蚀后的结构如图7所示。需要说明的是,P1划线刻蚀可以采用激光刻蚀或机械刻蚀,以激光刻蚀为例,进行P1划线刻蚀时,激光器功率为3瓦特(W),频率为145千赫兹(KHz),速率为1000毫米(mm)/秒(s)。
S90:于第二电极上依次形成第一电荷传输层,吸光层、第二电荷传输层。第一电荷传输层214和第二电荷传输层216的制备方法可以为真空溅射、反应等离子体溅镀,真空热蒸法或湿法涂布等。吸光层215的材质可以为钙钛矿,吸光层215可以采用湿法涂布工艺进行制备。

S230:于第一电极上进行P3划线刻蚀形成第三沟槽,从而将太阳能电池分割为多个子电池。P3划线宽度为20μm-200μm,第三沟槽233与第一沟槽231在第一方向a上的距离在0μm~200μm之间。需要说明的是,P3划线刻蚀可以采用激光刻蚀或机械刻蚀,以激光刻蚀为例,进行P3划线刻蚀时,激光器功率为1瓦特(W),频率为600千赫兹(KHz),速率为600毫米(mm)/秒(s)。第三沟槽233形成后的结构参照图2所示。
