Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of thin-film solar cells, and particularly relates to a light-adjustable photovoltaic glass for transparent envelope structures and a preparation method thereof.
[0002] The application belongs to 6.3.2 solar energy production equipment and heat utilization equipment in 6.3 solar energy industry in 6 of strategic new industry catalog, and also belongs to 7.1.7 photovoltaic integrated building outer wall glass in 7.1 high-efficiency energy-saving industry in 7 of strategic new industry catalog. BACKGROUND
[0003] In recent years, the concept of low-carbon life has been deeply rooted in people's minds. People invest a lot of money in the design and concept of indoor and transportation tools in order to pursue a comfortable and easy living and traveling environment, and the green environmental protection concept has become the consensus of people. Using solar energy to realize low-energy consumption living and traveling can make people's life comfortable and economical, which is currently widely recognized by people. The transparent envelope structure applied to building doors and windows, curtain walls, daylighting roofs and transportation tool doors and windows is a kind of building component or part with low energy efficiency, which loses about 60% of the total energy, because the traditional transparent envelope structure is based on the "static" light transmission of glass, which cannot adapt to the time-domain weather change.
[0004] In order to improve the energy efficiency of such transparent envelope structure, many transparent envelope structures that can dynamically adjust the sunlight entering have been formed. Among them, the electrochromic transparent envelope structure technology has become a solution to improve the energy efficiency of buildings and transportation tools because it can actively adjust the incident solar energy, and has been widely applied in buildings and transportation tools. At present, the electrochromic transparent envelope structure applied in the market mainly adjusts the solar transmittance by changing the absorption of solar radiation, and the transmittance is about 2%-70%. The solar energy reflected by the outer surface is wasted, and may cause light pollution. In addition, the electrochromic transparent envelope structure still needs external power supply when it works, and cannot generate power for its work. In the opaque state, only a small part of sunlight is reflected, and most of the sunlight is absorbed. Such electrochromic transparent envelope structure will re-emit 20% to 40% of the absorbed solar heat to the indoor, which will increase the cooling load in hot weather.
[0005] A Chinese invention patent with publication number CN117153922A provides a tunable cadmium telluride power generation energy-saving and its preparation method. The scheme considers that the electrochromic device is similar to the preparation process of cadmium telluride battery, uses laser scribing technology to remove the cadmium telluride battery functional film layer on the cadmium telluride power generation glass, exposes the transparent conductive front electrode surface, then repeatedly uses a mask plate and laser scribing technology, and then deposits an electrochromic layer, an electrolyte layer, an ion storage layer, and a transparent conductive electrode layer on the exposed transparent conductive front electrode surface in sequence to prepare a periodic cadmium telluride sub-cell and electrochromic device series structure. The electrochromic device and the cadmium telluride sub-cell are connected in series, the cadmium telluride sub-cell generates power, and the electrochromic device is powered. The scheme also solves the problems of light regulation, uniform color change of the electrochromic device, and compatibility with the cadmium telluride battery stacking process. However, in actual engineering practice, the scheme still has the following problems: (1) The visible light transmittance of the electrochromic device is proportional to the series voltage of the cadmium telluride sub-cell. When the series voltage of the cadmium telluride sub-cell is low, the visible light transmittance of the electrochromic device is low, especially in rainy weather and weak sunlight in the northern hemisphere in winter, which seriously affects indoor lighting. The need to turn on the light for illumination increases energy consumption, and full-time, full-season, and full-regional dynamic indoor dimming and thermal regulation cannot be achieved; (2) The mask plate and laser scribing are repeatedly used in the stacking process of the electrochromic device and the cadmium telluride battery, which is complex and harsh. The equipment control precision and complexity are high, the production cost is high, the maintenance cost is high, and it is not conducive to industrialization; (3) The cadmium telluride sub-cell and the electrochromic sub-device are connected in series, and the failure probability of the electrochromic sub-device is large. When the electrochromic sub-device is damaged, the life cycle of the entire dimming power generation glass is shortened. SUMMARY
