Problems solved by technology

However, due to the limitation of the electron shell structure of the rare earth ion and the influence of the surrounding matrix environment, it can only have weak absorption at a certain wavelength, which leads to a lower quantum luminous efficiency.

Embodiment 1

[0028] The solar cell structure with up-converter of the present invention is such as figure 1 As shown, 1 is a silicon-based solar cell; 2 is an up-converter; 3 is a back reflection layer, which can be a transparent film of a glassy substance or a metal oxide, and its function is to reflect the light emitted by the up-converter and make the light re-enter battery thereby increasing the absorption of the battery.

[0029] The preparation method of the up-converter is as follows:

[0030] Preparation of quantum dot PbS: sodium lauryl sulfate (0.05mol), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (0.05mol), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (0.2mol) were dissolved in 100ml, 70 ℃ constant temperature to In deionized water, stir for 5 minutes under the action of a magnetic stirrer, then add a few drops of dilute ammonia water to adjust the pH of the solution to 10, then add 10ml, 0.05mol / L lead acetate solution and stir for 1-2 minutes. Finally, slowly add 20ml, 0.025mol / L thiourea solution an...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of a solar cell and particularly relates to a novel up-converter and application of the novel up-converter in the solar cell. The converter is formed by up-conversion luminescence materials doped with rare earth ion, quantum dot materials and low-temperature curing materials, the quantum dot materials are semiconductor compounds with narrow band gaps, and the low-temperature curing materials are spin coating silicon oxide layers or silica gel. Compared with the luminescent materials doped with the rare earth ion alone, the up-converter combining the quantum dot materials can further increase the absorption region of the solar cell in a near infrared spectrum area and improves quantum efficiency of the up-conversion luminescence materials, thereby improving cell efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a novel up-converter and its application in solar cells. Background technique [0002] In solar photovoltaic power generation technology, due to the limitation of the material band gap, solar cells can only partially absorb sunlight. For example, for crystalline silicon batteries, the band gap is about 1.12ev, and its long-wave absorption limit is about 1100nm, and the infrared light part greater than this wavelength accounts for about 50% of the energy of the entire solar spectrum, but the battery cannot absorb and utilize it, thereby limiting improved solar cell efficiency. Therefore, how to improve the power generation efficiency of solar cells, reduce costs, and broaden the spectral response range of solar cells has become a research hotspot in recent years. [0003] At present, there are two ways to make full use of the solar spectrum: one is to absorb low-energy infra...
