Abstract

The invention discloses a flexible solar cell, which sequentially comprises a flexible substrate, a reflective metal layer, multiple photoactive layers, a transparent conductive layer and a metal mesh from the bottom surface to the top surface, wherein the reflective metal layer is used for reflecting incident light to improve the light energy absorption rate of the flexible solar cell, and meanwhile, the reflective metal layer serves as a cathode of the flexible solar cell; the multiple photoactive layers are used for converting light energy into a current carrier and further converting the current carrier into electric energy; the transparent conductive layer is used for serving as an anode of the flexible solar cell; and the metal mesh is used for collecting charges of the transparent conductive layer to enhance the conductivity of the transparent conductive layer. According to the flexible solar cell provided by the invention, the structure of the flexible solar cell in the prior art is optimized; and the technical problems that the prepared large-area flexible solar cell is low in yield and poor in photoelectric conversion efficiency are solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of large-area flexible photovoltaic device preparation, and more specifically relates to a flexible solar cell. Background technique [0002] Solar energy is the most reliable clean resource for human beings in the future. It is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. In the case of shortage of resources, the development and research of solar energy is particularly urgent. [0003] Organic solar cells can be prepared by solution method, and organic semiconductor materials are made into thin-film cells on flexible substrates by simple methods such as spin coating, spray coating, and doctor blade coating. Through the research progress of Alan J. Heeger, Frederik C. Krebs, Cao Yong and Yang Yang on material synthesis and device physics in the past two decades, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of organic solar cells prepared in the laboratory has exceeded 10%. However, these organic solar cell devices with high photoele...
