Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solar cell encapsulation technology, and in particular to a perovskite solar cell module and its encapsulation method. Background Technology

[0002] Thin-film solar cells, as a new generation of solar cells, are finding increasingly wider applications. However, solar cells typically operate outdoors, thus requiring encapsulation.

[0003] In the thin-film solar cell industry, the current encapsulation and lamination process for thin-film cells on glass substrates uses EVA / POE / PVB type adhesive films to directly encapsulate and laminate with the backsheet glass. The specific steps involve placing the module in a heated laminator for vacuum degassing, and after the adhesive film melts, pressure is applied to bond the backsheet glass and the cell together through the encapsulation film. However, this encapsulation and lamination method leads to a significant decrease in the efficiency of perovskite modules after encapsulation and lamination, and easily causes back electrode delamination and film removal.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop new encapsulation technologies for thin-film solar cells to overcome the problems of efficiency reduction and film delamination caused by existing encapsulation techniques. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a perovskite solar cell module and its encapsulation method, which can effectively reduce the heating time of perovskite thin film cells and reduce the impact of long-term high temperature on the efficiency of perovskite cells; after adding a protective coating, the efficiency of perovskite modules after encapsulation lamination can be effectively improved, and the delamination phenomenon of perovskite modules can be reduced.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for encapsulating a perovskite solar cell module, the encapsulation method comprising:

[0008] A liquid protective coating is applied to the surface of the back electrode of the perovskite solar cell to form a protective coating, which simultaneously fills the gaps in the laser lines.

[0009] The back glass coated with encapsulating film and sealant is heated to obtain heated back glass.

[0010] The heated back glass is laminated with the perovskite cell and then first laminated to obtain a perovskite solar cell module.

[0011] The encapsulation method for perovskite solar cell modules provided by this invention uses liquid protective coating to form a protective coating that can fill the laser lines, thereby avoiding edge defects caused by pressure. At the same time, it can protect the back electrode of the perovskite cell from the influence of moisture in the air for a longer period of time and reduce the probability of the back electrode of the perovskite cell delaminating after the first lamination. Moreover, the encapsulation method of this invention applies the encapsulating film and sealant to the back glass, and heats the back glass before lamination and first lamination, which greatly shortens the total heating time of the perovskite cell, thereby improving the performance of the perovskite cell.

[0012] In traditional processes, during the first lamination, the encapsulating film gradually softens during the vacuuming and heating phase. While it retains some fluidity under pressure, its relatively poor fluidity causes film collapse on both sides of the laser line, leading to reduced efficiency. Furthermore, thermal expansion and contraction during cooling can cause delamination and peeling of the edge electrodes. This invention avoids these issues by adding a protective coating and improving the first lamination process. Firstly, the poor fluidity of the encapsulating film prevents it from affecting the quality of the film at the laser line, thus preventing unnecessary defects. Secondly, the protective coating fills the laser line and then cures, protecting the module from affecting the film quality at the laser line during the first lamination, reducing the impact of perovskite thermal instability and delamination, and ultimately improving the overall efficiency of the perovskite module.

[0013] Preferably, the thickness of the protective coating is 20 to 100 μm, for example, it can be 20 μm, 25 μm, 35 μm, 45 μm, 55 μm, 65 μm, 75 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm or 100 μm, but is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within this range are also applicable.

[0094] This comparative example provides a method for encapsulating a perovskite solar cell module. The encapsulation method is identical to that of Example 1, except that the back glass is first laminated with the perovskite solar cell before heating. The details are as follows:

[0095] After aligning the back glass coated with encapsulating film and sealant around the edges, it is laminated with the perovskite solar cell. After heating at 150°C for 5 minutes, it is then laminated in a first laminator at 100°C for 1 minute, with a vacuum time of 1 minute and a vacuum degree of 50 kPa, to obtain the perovskite solar cell module.

[0096] Comparative Example 4

[0097] This comparative example provides a method for encapsulating a perovskite solar cell module. The encapsulation method is identical to that of Example 1, except that heating is not performed before assembling the back glass sheet coated with encapsulating film and sealant. Details are as follows:

[0098] After aligning the back glass coated with encapsulating film and sealant around its edges, it is laminated with the perovskite solar cell and then subjected to a first lamination process using a first laminator. The first lamination process is carried out at a temperature of 100°C for 1 minute, with a vacuuming time of 1 minute and a vacuum degree of 50 kPa, to obtain the perovskite solar cell module.

[0099] The perovskite solar thin-film battery was encapsulated using the methods described in the above embodiments and comparative examples. Specifically, the structure of the perovskite solar thin-film battery includes a glass substrate, a conductive layer, an electron transport layer, a perovskite absorber layer, a hole transport layer, and a back electrode stacked sequentially. Optionally, a protective coating and a back glass are disposed on the back electrode, with an encapsulating film disposed between the protective coating and the back glass. The glass substrate has a thickness of 3.2 mm and is made of ultra-white glass; the conductive layer has a thickness of 300 nm and is made of ITO; the electron transport layer has a thickness of 100 nm and is made of tin oxide; the perovskite absorber layer has a thickness of 300 nm and is made of perovskite; the hole transport layer has a thickness of 100 nm and is made of nickel oxide; and the back electrode has a thickness of 80 nm and is made of copper.

[0100] Test method: The power of the encapsulated perovskite solar cells was tested using a steady-state AAA-level solar simulator. Four samples were tested repeatedly, and the average value was taken. The perovskite solar thin film cells after lamination were observed to see if they were prone to delamination. The comparative experimental results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in Table 1, and the summary results of other examples and comparative examples are shown in Table 2.

[0101] Table 1

[0102]

[0103] Table 2

[0104]

[0105] In Tables 1 and 2, "delamination" refers to the phenomenon of the back electrode falling off, and "√" indicates that the back electrode has not fallen off.

[0106] The following points can be observed from Tables 1 and 2:

[0107] (1) As can be seen from the comprehensive examples 1 to 3, the encapsulation method of the perovskite solar cell module provided by the present invention improves the power after lamination and is less prone to delamination. For the perovskite cell with a power of 9.0 to 9.5W before lamination, the power of the cell after lamination is between 10.6 and 12.0W, which improves the performance of the perovskite cell.

[0108] (2) As can be seen from the combined examples of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, in Comparative Example 1, without a protective coating, the power after lamination is reduced to below 4.2W and the film is prone to peeling. This shows that the present invention improves the battery efficiency after encapsulation by setting a protective coating.

[0109] (3) As can be seen from the combined examples 1 and 2-4, in Example 1, the encapsulating film and sealant are applied to the back glass and the back glass is preheated in advance. Compared with Comparative Example 2, where the encapsulating film and sealant are applied to the protective coating, Comparative Example 3, where the back glass is laminated and then heated, and Comparative Example 4, where the back glass is not heated directly, the average power after lamination in Example 1 is 11.825W, while the power after lamination in Comparative Examples 2-4 is only 2.3W, 3.1W, and 2.5W, respectively. This shows that by applying the encapsulating film and sealant to the back glass and preheating the back glass in advance, the present invention reduces the heating time of the perovskite solar cell and reduces the efficiency decay after lamination.

[0110] (4) As can be seen from the combined examples 1 and 4-5, the thickness of the protective coating in example 1 is 50 μm. Compared with the thicknesses of 10 μm and 150 μm in examples 4-5, the power after lamination in examples 4-5 is reduced to 7.5 W and 5.9 W, respectively. This shows that the present invention improves the efficiency of the perovskite solar cell after lamination by controlling the thickness of the protective coating within a specific range.

[0111] (5) As can be seen from the combined examples 1 and 6-7, in example 1, amorphous fluorine resin was used as the protective coating. Compared with polyurethane in example 6 and AB potting compound in example 7, the average power after lamination in example 1 was 11.825W and no delamination occurred. In contrast, the power after lamination in example 6 was only 7.3W and in example 7 it was only 6.7W. This is because the polyurethane in example 6 is brittle after curing, which can easily affect the performance of the perovskite battery. The AB potting compound in example 7 has poor water release performance, which can easily reduce the performance of the perovskite battery. This shows that the present invention preferably uses amorphous fluorine resin as the protective coating, which significantly improves the efficiency of the perovskite battery after lamination.

[0112] The present invention has been illustrated with the above embodiments to illustrate its detailed structural features. However, the present invention is not limited to the above detailed structural features, that is, it does not mean that the present invention must rely on the above detailed structural features to be implemented. Those skilled in the art should understand that any improvements to the present invention, equivalent substitutions for the components used in the present invention, additions of auxiliary components, and selection of specific methods, etc., all fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present invention.
