Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of photovoltaics, and relates to a solar cell, in particular to a structure of an organic metal halide perovskite solar cell. BACKGROUND
[0002] The organic metal halide perovskite solar cell has become one of the hotspots in the field of photovoltaics due to its low cost and high efficiency, and the commercialization process of this type of solar cell device has also attracted widespread attention. A perovskite solar cell generally consists of a substrate, a perovskite layer, an electron transport layer, a hole transport layer, and an external electrode. The electron and hole transport layers are collectively referred to as the charge transport layer. The working principle of the perovskite solar cell panel is that the perovskite layer absorbs light to generate electron-hole pairs, and the electrons and holes are rapidly separated in the perovskite layer and are extracted by the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer, respectively, and then transported to the external circuit. In the currently studied perovskite solar cell structure, the perovskite layer is usually sandwiched between the electron and hole transport layers, and the electron or hole transport layer on both sides of the perovskite layer will cause a certain parasitic absorption, thereby affecting the light response of the perovskite layer.
[0003] In the prior art, one technical solution discloses a perovskite solar cell, wherein the perovskite solar cell structure of the silicon-based thin film material includes: a conductive glass; an n-type electron transport layer made on the conductive glass; a perovskite photosensitive layer made on the n-type electron transport layer; a p-type hole transport layer made on the perovskite photosensitive layer; and a metal counter electrode made on the p-type hole transport layer. The disclosed solar cell structure is a traditional perovskite solar cell structure, and the P layer and the n layer are arranged at both ends of the perovskite photosensitive layer. The electron or hole transport layer on both sides of the perovskite layer will cause a certain parasitic absorption, thereby affecting the light response of the perovskite layer.
[0004] Another technical solution discloses an orthogonal cross-finger full-back contact perovskite solar cell and a preparation method thereof. The structure from bottom to top is: 1) a substrate; 2) a positive electrode; 3) a hole transport layer; 4) an insulating isolation layer; 5) a negative electrode; 6) an electron transport layer; 7) a perovskite absorption layer; 8) a passivation layer; and 9) an anti-reflection protective layer. The anti-reflection layer is provided on the perovskite absorption layer, and the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer are separated by the negative electrode. The hole transport layer and the electron transport layer are separated by the negative electrode, and the electrodes are in close contact, i.e. separated by the insulating isolation layer, which still has the risk of short circuit.
[0005] Another technical solution discloses a parallel interdigitated full back contact perovskite solar cell structure. From bottom to top, this structure consists of: 1) substrate; 2) positive electrode; 3) negative electrode; 4) hole transport layer; 5) electron transport layer; 6) perovskite absorber layer; 7) passivation layer; and 8) antireflection protection layer. While the perovskite absorber layer has an antireflection layer and the hole and electron transport layers are spaced apart, the negative electrode and electron transport layer are all embedded within the perovskite absorber layer. This limits the usability of the cell structure, restricting its stacking and splitting capabilities.
[0006] The research on the structure of perovskite solar cells focuses on how to use simple preparation methods to produce cells with high energy conversion efficiency and significantly improve the light absorption of the photoactive layer. Summary of the Invention
