Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of solar cell devices, and in particular to a solar cell, a solar cell assembly and an electrical device. Background Art
[0002] With the development of recycled and renewable energy, solar cell devices are widely used due to their green and environmentally friendly features and the ability to output electrical energy when exposed to sunlight.
[0003] With the development of technology, how to improve the stability and service life of solar cell devices has become a key research direction. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present application provides a solar cell, which can improve the influence of moisture in the external environment including the atmosphere on the power generation of the solar cell, thereby improving the stability of the solar cell. The present application also aims to provide a solar cell assembly and an electrical device including the solar cell, thereby improving the power generation stability.
[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a solar cell, comprising:
[0006] The photoelectric conversion layer comprises perovskite compound crystal particles and water absorbing material.
[0007] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the photoelectric conversion layer includes perovskite compound crystal particles and water-absorbing materials, and the water-absorbing materials can be dispersed between the perovskite compound crystal particles, or dispersed at the edge of the photoelectric conversion layer in contact with the outside world, and there is no restriction here. Moisture in the external environment including the atmosphere enters the photoelectric conversion layer of the solar cell, and the water-absorbing material absorbs the moisture, at least reducing the impact of moisture on the perovskite compound, thereby protecting the perovskite compound crystal particles, which is conducive to the perovskite compound crystal particles to achieve photoelectric conversion and improve the stability of the power generation of the solar cell.
[0008] Furthermore, moisture in the external environment, including the atmosphere, enters the photoelectric conversion layer of the solar cell, and the water-absorbing material absorbs the moisture, reducing the degradation effect of moisture on the perovskite compound, thereby protecting the perovskite compound crystal particles and increasing the service life of the solar cell.
[0009] In the related art, there are some defects between the crystal particles of the perovskite compound, resulting in a trace amount of oxygen remaining between the crystal particles of the perovskite compound. When water enters the crystal particles of the perovskite compound, the water and oxygen work together to accelerate the degradation of the perovskite compound. When the water-absorbing material exists between the crystal particles of the perovskite compound, it avoids the residual oxygen in the tiny gaps between the crystal particles of the perovskite compound, occupies the gaps between the crystal particles, and thus protects the crystal particles of the perovskite compound to a certain extent.
[0010] In addition, when sunlight enters the photoelectric conversion layer containing perovskite compound crystal particles and water-absorbing materials, due to the presence of the water-absorbing materials, the light is reflected and / or scattered between the perovskite compound crystal particles and the water-absorbing materials, and the light paths in the photoelectric conversion layer are increased, thereby improving the probability of light utilization, thereby also increasing the current of the solar cell containing perovskite compound crystal particles and water-absorbing materials, which is beneficial to improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0011] In any embodiment of the present application, the photoelectric conversion layer comprises a water-absorbing material having a mass content of 0.01% to 0.5% based on the total mass of the photoelectric conversion layer. The photoelectric conversion layer comprises the water-absorbing material having the above mass content, which is conducive to absorbing water that enters the interior of the solar cell and is close to the perovskite compound crystal particles.
[0012] In any embodiment of the present application, the photoelectric conversion layer comprises a water-absorbing material having a mass content of 0.05% to 0.3% based on the total mass of the photoelectric conversion layer. The photoelectric conversion layer comprises the water-absorbing material having the above mass content, and further absorbs moisture entering the interior of the solar cell while taking into account the absorption of light.
[0013] In any embodiment of the present application, at least a portion of the surfaces of the perovskite compound crystal particles are in contact with the water-absorbing material.
[0014] In any embodiment of the present application, the volume ratio of the water-absorbing material to the perovskite compound crystal particles is 1: (20-100). When the volume ratio of the water-absorbing material to the perovskite compound crystal particles is within the above range, the water-absorbing material is dispersed between the perovskite compound crystal particles; when there is water between the perovskite compound crystal particles, the water can be absorbed, thereby improving the stability of power generation of the solar cell.
[0015] In any embodiment of the present application, at least part of the perovskite compound crystal particles are wrapped by a coating layer formed by a water-absorbing material. The coating layer formed by the water-absorbing material wraps part of the perovskite compound crystal particles, which can effectively isolate the contact between water and the perovskite compound crystal particles, and prevent water from entering between the perovskite compound crystal particles from the coating layer, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the power generation of the solar cell, increasing the current of the solar cell, and thus helping to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0016] In any embodiment of the present application, the coating layer has a thickness of 1 nm to 50 nm. When the coating layer has a thickness within the above range, it is beneficial to promote carrier transport between perovskite compound crystal particles, and also beneficial to the transport of carriers / electrons between the first carrier transport layer and the second carrier transport layer that the photoelectric conversion layer contacts respectively.
[0017] In any embodiment of the present application, the water-absorbing material includes at least one of inorganic water-absorbing particles and organic water-absorbing materials or a combination thereof;
[0018] In any embodiment of the present application, the inorganic water-absorbing particles include one or more of aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, cobalt chloride, and cobalt oxide;
[0019] In any embodiment of the present application, the organic water-absorbing material includes one or more of 2-hydroxyethylamine, polyacrylate, polyethylene oxide, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide, methacryloyl hyaluronic acid, acrylonitrile grafted modified starch, phosphated starch, carboxymethylated starch, acrylic acid grafted modified starch, acrylamide grafted modified starch, carboxymethylated cellulose, hydroxypropylated cellulose, acrylamide grafted modified cellulose, and acrylic acid grafted modified cellulose.
[0020] In any embodiment of the present application, the average particle size Dn50 of the inorganic water-absorbing particles is less than or equal to 20 nm. The average particle size Dn50 of the inorganic water-absorbing particles is within the above range, which is conducive to being present in the gaps between the perovskite compound crystal particles, thereby absorbing the moisture between the perovskite compound crystal particles and improving the overall performance of the solar cell.
[0021] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a solar cell module, comprising the solar cell of the first aspect. The solar cell module comprising the solar cell can achieve improved stability.

[0046] A solar cell is a device that directly converts light energy into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect or photochemical reaction. Examples of solar cells include perovskite solar cells, which are solar cells that use perovskite compound semiconductors as light-absorbing materials and belong to the third generation of solar cells.
[0047] Perovskite solar cells use perovskite compounds to absorb photons to generate electron-hole pairs, which are then separated into free carriers. The free carriers generated are then transported out by transport layer materials to achieve photoelectric conversion.
[0048] Solar cell modules include solar cells, which are usually installed on buildings or outdoor land to convert the energy of sunlight incident on its surface into electrical energy. Since solar cell modules are installed outdoors, they are affected by environmental factors (such as moisture, oxygen, etc.), especially solar cells containing perovskite compounds, which decompose under water and oxygen conditions, resulting in a shortened service life of the solar cell.
[0049] When solar cells are in a humid environment, moisture will inevitably pass through the external encapsulation layer of the solar cell, and at least part of it will come into contact with the perovskite compound inside the cell, accelerating the degradation of the perovskite compound and ultimately affecting the performance of the solar cell containing the perovskite compound.
[0050] In view of this, the present application provides a solar cell that can effectively improve the effect of moisture on perovskite compounds, so that the solar cell containing the perovskite compound can generate electricity stably and improve its service life.
[0051] Solar Cells
[0052] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a solar cell, comprising:
[0053] The photoelectric conversion layer comprises perovskite compound crystal particles and water absorbing material.
[0054] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the photoelectric conversion layer includes perovskite compound crystal particles and water-absorbing materials, and the water-absorbing materials can be dispersed between the perovskite compound crystal particles, or dispersed at the edge of the photoelectric conversion layer in contact with the outside world, and there is no restriction here. Moisture in the external environment including the atmosphere enters the photoelectric conversion layer of the solar cell, and the water-absorbing material absorbs the moisture, at least reducing the impact of moisture on the perovskite compound, thereby protecting the perovskite compound crystal particles, which is conducive to the perovskite compound crystal particles to achieve photoelectric conversion and improve the stability of the power generation of the solar cell.
[0055] Furthermore, moisture in the external environment, including the atmosphere, enters the photoelectric conversion layer of the solar cell, and the water-absorbing material absorbs the moisture, reducing the degradation effect of moisture on the perovskite compound, thereby protecting the perovskite compound crystal particles and increasing the service life of the solar cell.
[0056] In the related art, there are some defects between the crystal particles of the perovskite compound, resulting in a trace amount of oxygen remaining between the crystal particles of the perovskite compound. When water enters the crystal particles of the perovskite compound, the water and oxygen work together to accelerate the degradation of the perovskite compound. When the water-absorbing material exists between the crystal particles of the perovskite compound, it avoids the residual oxygen in the tiny gaps between the crystal particles of the perovskite compound, occupies the gaps between the crystal particles, and thus protects the crystal particles of the perovskite compound to a certain extent.
[0057] In addition, when sunlight enters the photoelectric conversion layer containing perovskite compound crystal particles and water-absorbing materials, due to the presence of the water-absorbing materials, the light is reflected and / or scattered between the perovskite compound crystal particles and the water-absorbing materials, and the light paths in the photoelectric conversion layer are increased, thereby improving the probability of light utilization, thereby also increasing the current of the solar cell containing perovskite compound crystal particles and water-absorbing materials, which is beneficial to improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0058] According to the embodiments of the present application, the absorbent material can be understood as a material that can absorb a large amount of water and retain the water from flowing out.
[0059] In some embodiments, the photoelectric conversion layer comprises perovskite compound crystal particles shown in the general formula ABX3, wherein A is an organic cation, B is a metal cation, and X is a halogen anion or SCN-. In some embodiments, the halogen X includes at least one of chlorine, bromine and iodine. Perovskite compounds with different halogen ions have different band gaps, and the band gap of the perovskite compound with halogen ions I- is the smallest (generally about 1.5 electron volts), and the band gap of the perovskite material with halogen ions Cl- is the largest (generally 1.5-3 electron volts, optionally 1.20-2.30 eV, optionally about 3 electron volts). The band gap measurement method is to test the prepared perovskite film by ultraviolet absorption spectrum to obtain an ultraviolet absorption curve, and then calculate the perovskite band gap by the Tauc equation. Furthermore, the perovskite compound may contain two mixed halogen ions, and the mixing ratio may be continuously adjusted, so the band gap of the perovskite compound may be continuously adjusted within the range of 1.5-3 electron volts, corresponding to the wavelength range of the light that can be absorbed being about 414-820 nanometers, which basically covers the entire visible light spectrum. Carriers are generated in the photoelectric conversion layer. In some embodiments, the thickness of the photoelectric conversion layer is 400-1000 nm.
[0060] For example: A in ABX3 can include CH3NH 3+ and HC(NH2) 2+ In other words, A can be CH3NH 3 + 、HC(NH2) 2+ Or a mixture of the two in any proportion. It is understood that A may also include metal ions, such as Cs + , Rb + and K + At least one of them.
[0061] For example: B in ABX3 can be pb 2+ Sn 2+ and Ge 2+ At least one of them.
[0062] For example, ABX3 can be CH3NH3PbI3; CH3NH3SnI3; CH3NH3PbI2 Cl; CH3NH3 PbI2Br; CH3NH3Pb(I 1-x Br x )3(where 0<x<1) and so on.
[0063] In some embodiments, the organic cation A includes at least one of an optionally substituted ammonium ion.
[0064] In some embodiments, examples of optionally substituted ammonium ions include alkylammonium ions, such as methylammonium ions, ethylammonium ions, propylammonium ions, butylammonium ions, pentylammonium ions, hexylammonium ions; amidinium ions, such as formamidinium ions; or imidazolium ions.
[0065] In some embodiments, the metal in the metal cation B includes at least one of lead (Pb), cesium (Cs), tin (Sn), zinc (Zn), titanium (Ti), antimony (Sb), bismuth (Bi), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), gallium (Ga), germanium (Ge), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), indium (In), aluminum (Al), manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo) and europium (Eu). B in the general formula ABX3 is selected from the above metal cations, which can help improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photoelectric conversion layer.
[0066] In some optional embodiments, the photoelectric conversion layer comprises a water-absorbing material in an amount of 0.01% to 0.5% by mass based on the total mass of the photoelectric conversion layer.
[0067] According to the embodiment of the present application, the photoelectric conversion layer contains the water-absorbing material of the above mass content, which is conducive to the absorption of water entering the interior of the solar cell and close to the perovskite compound crystal particles. When the mass content of the water-absorbing material exceeds 0.5%, it may affect the absorption of light to a certain extent, reduce the absorbance, and thus affect the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell; when the mass content of the water-absorbing material is less than 0.01%, the effect of absorbing water entering the interior of the solar cell or close to the perovskite compound crystal particles is weak, which is not conducive to protecting the perovskite compound crystal particles.
[0068] According to the embodiment of the present application, the mass determination method of the water-absorbing material in the photoelectric conversion layer can adopt the method commonly used in the art. As an example, the weight of the photoelectric conversion layer can be obtained by taking the weight of part or all of the photoelectric conversion layer. The mass determination method of the water-absorbing material in the above-mentioned photoelectric conversion layer sample includes X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to determine the element ratio, and then the mass determination method of the water-absorbing material includes isotope quantitative tracking method and XPS measurement, etc., and the mass content of the water-absorbing material in the photoelectric conversion layer can be obtained by calculation.
[0069] In some optional embodiments, the photoelectric conversion layer comprises a water-absorbing material having a mass content of 0.05% to 0.3% based on the total mass of the photoelectric conversion layer. According to an embodiment of the present application, the photoelectric conversion layer comprises the water-absorbing material having the above mass content, and further absorbs moisture entering the interior of the solar cell while taking into account the absorption of light.
[0070] In some optional embodiments, at least a portion of the surfaces of the perovskite compound crystal particles are in contact with the water absorbing material.
[0071] According to an embodiment of the present application, the water-absorbing material can be dispersed between the perovskite compound grains and contact at least two adjacent perovskite compound grains. In this case, the perovskite compound crystal particles with which the water-absorbing material contacts avoid the accumulation of external moisture at defective grain boundaries or pores, and the water-absorbing material absorbs moisture between the perovskite compound crystal particles.
[0072] According to the embodiment of the present application, the water-absorbing material can be dispersed at the edge of the photoelectric conversion layer that is in contact with the outside world. In this case, the water-absorbing material is in contact with at least part of the perovskite compound crystal particles located at the edge of the photoelectric conversion layer, which can prevent moisture from entering the interior and effectively protect the perovskite compound, thereby improving the stability of power generation of the solar cell and increasing the current of the solar cell, which is beneficial to improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0073] In some optional embodiments, the volume ratio of the water-absorbing material to the perovskite compound crystal particles is 1:(20-100).
[0074] Method for determining the volume ratio of water-absorbing material to perovskite compound crystal particles: confirm the area ratio of perovskite grains to water-absorbing material based on SEM planar results, then confirm the longitudinal area ratio with the help of SEM cross-sectional images, and roughly determine the volume ratio with the product.
[0075] According to an embodiment of the present application, when the volume ratio of the water-absorbing material to the perovskite compound crystal particles is within the above range, the water-absorbing material is dispersed between the perovskite compound crystal particles; when there is moisture between the perovskite compound crystal particles, the water-absorbing material can absorb the moisture, thereby improving the stability of power generation of the solar cell.
[0076] When the volume ratio of the water-absorbing material to the perovskite compound crystal particles is greater than 1:20, the volume proportion of the water-absorbing material is relatively large, which may affect the absorption of light to a certain extent, reduce the absorbance, and thus affect the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell; when the volume ratio of the water-absorbing material to the perovskite compound crystal particles is less than 1:100, the volume proportion of the water-absorbing material is relatively small, and the effect of absorbing moisture entering the interior of the solar cell or near the perovskite compound crystal particles is weak, which is not conducive to protecting the perovskite compound crystal particles.
[0077] In some optional embodiments, at least some of the perovskite compound crystal particles are wrapped by a coating layer formed by a water-absorbing material. According to the embodiment of the present application, the coating layer formed by the water-absorbing material wraps some of the perovskite compound crystal particles, which can effectively isolate the contact between water and the perovskite compound crystal particles, and prevent water from entering between the perovskite compound crystal particles from the coating layer, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the power generation of the solar cell, increasing the current of the solar cell, and thus helping to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0078] In some optional embodiments, the coating layer has a thickness of 1 nm to 50 nm. According to the embodiment of the present application, when the coating layer has a thickness within the above range, it is beneficial to promote carrier transport between perovskite compound crystal particles, and also beneficial to the transport of carriers / electrons between the first carrier transport layer and the second carrier transport layer that the photoelectric conversion layer contacts respectively.
[0079] In some optional embodiments, the thickness ratio of the coating layer to the photoelectric conversion layer is 1:(10-200).
[0080] In some optional embodiments, the water-absorbing material includes at least one of inorganic water-absorbing particles and organic water-absorbing materials, or a combination thereof.
[0081] In some optional embodiments, the inorganic water-absorbing particles include one or more of aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, cobalt chloride, and cobalt oxide.
[0082] In any embodiment of the present application, according to the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned inorganic particles can achieve the adsorption effect of moisture in the photoelectric conversion layer. As an example, the water-absorbing material includes calcium chloride. Calcium chloride releases heat when absorbing water, which may cause a tiny volume expansion at the microscopic level, further improving the contact degree of the photoelectric conversion layer; the released heat is beneficial to the film-forming effect of the photoelectric conversion layer, making the film more uniform, and is beneficial to improving the energy conversion efficiency of the photoelectric conversion layer.
[0083] In some optional embodiments, the organic water-absorbing material includes one or more of 2-hydroxyethylamine, polyacrylate, polyethylene oxide, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylamide, methacryloyl hyaluronic acid, acrylonitrile grafted modified starch, phosphated starch, carboxymethylated starch, acrylic acid grafted modified starch, acrylamide grafted modified starch, carboxymethylated cellulose, hydroxypropylated cellulose, acrylamide grafted modified cellulose, and acrylic acid grafted modified cellulose.
[0084] 2-Hydroxyethylamine, also known as ethanolamine, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C2H7NO.
[0085] According to the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned organic particles can achieve the effect of adsorbing moisture in the photoelectric conversion layer, thereby avoiding affecting the performance of the solar cell that protects the perovskite compound crystal particles.
[0086] In some optional embodiments, the average particle size Dn50 of the inorganic water-absorbing particles is less than or equal to 20 nm.
[0087] According to the embodiment of the present application, the average particle size Dn50 of the above-mentioned inorganic water-absorbing particles is within the above-mentioned range, which is conducive to existing in the gaps between the perovskite compound crystal particles, thereby absorbing moisture between the perovskite compound crystal particles and improving the comprehensive performance of the solar cell.
[0088] According to the embodiment of the present application, the term "average particle size Dn50" means the particle size at which the cumulative distribution of particles is 50% based on the number distribution; that is, the number of particles smaller than this particle size accounts for 50% of the total number of all particles. It can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. As an example, the particle size statistics of the inorganic water-absorbing particles in the cross section of the photoelectric conversion layer can be performed under a scanning electron microscope, and the above particle size statistics can be performed using relevant software.
[0089] Average particle size Dn50 of the inorganic water-absorbing particles = the number of inorganic particles in the size range in the corresponding SEM image / the number of all inorganic particles in the corresponding SEM image × 100%.
