Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic thermoelectricity, and particularly relates to an integrated photovoltaic-thermoelectric flexible power generation device, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing sophistication and miniaturization of electronic devices, the significant demand for flexible power generation devices has been paid more and more attention. As a renewable energy source that is extremely easy to obtain, solar energy can meet the requirements of flexible power generation devices in terms of energy, greenness, portability, and easy availability. And realizing the full-spectrum utilization of solar energy is an efficient way to improve the performance of flexible solar power generation devices.
[0003] The main ways of full-spectrum solar power generation include solar thermal power generation, thermoelectric power generation, and multi-junction photovoltaic power generation, etc. Among them, solar thermal power generation and multi-junction photovoltaic power generation have problems such as a large system, a rigid structure, a complex structure, high costs, and limitations in low-light wide-angle, and cannot achieve flexibility. Although thermoelectric devices have a simple structure, small volume, light weight, and are easy to prepare flexible devices, their low conversion efficiency limits the scope of application. The coupling of thin-film photovoltaic cells and thermoelectric devices is the main measure to improve the solar energy utilization efficiency of flexible power generation devices. However, its current structure mainly uses a photovoltaic cell as the full-spectrum solar absorption layer, and at the same time as the hot end of the thermoelectric device. The short-wave solar photovoltaic cell is used by itself, and the remaining solar energy is converted into heat energy to generate electricity through the thermoelectric device. In this structure, the photovoltaic cell has to maintain a high temperature all the time in order to form a temperature difference at both ends of the thermoelectric device, but this will reduce the efficiency of the photovoltaic cell itself, thereby affecting the power generation efficiency of the overall device. Therefore, this structure has an obvious problem of unreasonable energy distribution. Summary of the Invention

The flexible photonic crystal layer absorbs sunlight from multiple angles, enabling the flexible device to ensure the temperature of the hot end to the greatest extent when distorted and shaded (when the solar light intensity and incident angle change). On the other side of the cold end of the flexible thermoelectric thin film, a flexible heat insulation layer, a flexible solar cell, and a filter film are sequentially laid.

At the same time, each component in the present invention is made of lightweight, flexible, and foldable materials, with the characteristics of light weight and high flexibility, and can be combined with irregular or curved objects such as portable electronic devices, large industrial roofs, and drones to meet their stable power requirements.
[0021] Furthermore, the flexible substrate is made of flexible materials such as polyvinylidene fluoride, polydimethylsiloxane, or polyurethane, which can ensure that the integrated power generation device in the present invention has characteristics such as high flexibility, easy reshaping, and foldability, facilitating deployment on the surfaces of various irregular or curved objects and providing power for them at any time and anywhere. The flexible heat conducting material is selected from graphene, SiC-BN, rGO@CN / PI, or GFS-rGO, which can ensure that the temperature of the hot end of the thermoelectric device is obtained from the full-spectrum photothermal conversion to the greatest extent. The photonic crystal layer is a flexible structure composed of alternating multi-layers of high and low refractive index materials such as SiO2, LiF, TiO2, WO3, polystyrene, or polymethyl methacrylate, which can ensure the stable photothermal conversion efficiency of the photonic crystal layer at various incident angles.
