[0049] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the scope of this application and its application or use.

[0050] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0051] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0052] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of this application, a perovskite solar cell 1 is provided. The perovskite solar cell 1 includes a substrate 10, a transparent conductive layer 11, a photoelectric conversion functional layer and a back electrode layer 15, which are sequentially stacked along a first direction; wherein the transparent conductive layer 11, the photoelectric conversion functional layer and the back electrode layer 15 are each divided into at least two substructures connected in series.

[0054] It also includes an insulating post 16, which extends through the back electrode layer 15 and part of the photoelectric conversion functional layer along a first direction; the surface of the insulating post 16 away from the transparent conductive layer 11 is flush with the surface of the back electrode layer 15 away from the transparent conductive layer 11.

[0055] In the perovskite solar cell 1 provided in this application embodiment, it includes a substrate 10, a transparent conductive layer 11, a photoelectric conversion functional layer, and a back electrode layer 15 sequentially stacked along a first direction. The perovskite solar cell 1 is divided into several sub-cells connected in series, and each sub-cell is separated by an insulating post 16. Since the surface of the insulating post 16 away from the transparent conductive layer 11 in the perovskite solar cell 1 provided in this application embodiment is flush with the surface of the back electrode layer 15 away from the transparent conductive layer 11, that is, although each sub-cell is separated at the position of the back electrode layer 15, the perovskite solar cell 1 is still a flat structure at the position of the back electrode layer 15 and does not contain a groove structure. Therefore, the perovskite solar cell 1 has high sealing performance and better safety in use.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the photoelectric conversion functional layer includes a first charge transport layer 12, a perovskite layer 13, and a second charge transport layer 14 stacked sequentially along a first direction; the charge carriers transported by the first charge transport layer 12 and the second charge transport layer 14 have opposite polarities; wherein, the first charge transport layer 12 is connected to the transparent conductive layer 11, and the second charge transport layer 14 is connected to the back electrode layer 15; along the first direction, the height of the insulating pillar 16 extends through the back electrode layer 15 and the second charge transport layer 14.

[0057] In this specific example, the perovskite solar cell 1 includes a substrate 10, a transparent conductive layer 11, a first charge transport layer 12, a perovskite layer 13, a second charge transport layer 14, and a back electrode layer 15, which are sequentially stacked along a first direction; wherein the charge carriers transported by the first charge transport layer 12 and the second charge transport layer 14 have opposite polarities; specifically, the first charge transport layer 12 is an electron transport layer and the second charge transport layer 14 is a hole transport layer; or, the first charge transport layer 12 is a hole transport layer and the second charge transport layer 14 is an electron transport layer.

[0058] The substrate is the supporting structure of the perovskite solar cell, and it is usually made of materials with high light transmittance, good stability and mechanical strength. The main function of the substrate is to provide a flat and stable base so that other cell structure layers can be built on it. Common substrate materials include glass, flexible polymers and so on.

[0059] The transparent conductive layer sits atop the substrate, its primary function being to transmit current. Additionally, it protects the perovskite layer from corrosion by external moisture and gases, thus improving the battery's stability. It needs to possess good light transmittance and conductivity to ensure that sunlight can pass through and reach the perovskite layer, while simultaneously collecting the generated current.

[0060] The primary function of the hole transport layer is to facilitate the transport of photogenerated holes (i.e., atoms or molecules lacking electrons) from the perovskite layer while blocking the reverse flow of electrons. This function helps reduce charge recombination (the process of electrons and holes recombining), thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery. Hole transport layers typically employ semiconductor materials with excellent hole transport properties.

[0061] The perovskite layer is the core component of a perovskite solar cell, primarily responsible for absorbing solar energy and generating electron-hole pairs. When sunlight shines on the perovskite layer, photons are absorbed and excite electrons to transition from the valence band to the conduction band, leaving holes behind. These electrons and holes are then separated and transported to the corresponding electrode layers, thereby generating current.

[0062] The main function of the electron transport layer is to facilitate the transport of photogenerated electrons from the perovskite layer and block the reverse flow of holes, thereby helping to reduce charge recombination and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery. The electron transport layer usually uses materials with high electron mobility and stability to ensure that electrons can be transported efficiently.

[0063] The back electrode layer is located at the bottom of the battery. Its main function is to collect holes (or electrons in some inversion structures) that are transported from the perovskite layer through the hole transport layer and transport them to the external circuit. The back electrode layer is usually made of a metal or alloy with high conductivity.

[0064] In summary, the layers in a perovskite solar cell work together to achieve efficient photoelectric conversion. The transparent conductive layer and the back electrode layer are responsible for collecting and discharging current, while the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer are responsible for promoting charge separation and transport. The perovskite layer is the core of the entire cell, responsible for absorbing sunlight and generating electron-hole pairs.

[0065] Furthermore, the structure of the perovskite battery 1 provided in this application embodiment avoids direct contact between the back electrode layer 15 and the perovskite layer 13, and the perovskite layer 13 is completely isolated by the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer, rather than being exposed to the atmospheric environment, thereby improving the stability of the battery.

[0066] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the perovskite solar cell further includes an isolation pillar 17 and a conductive pillar 18;

[0067] Along the first direction, the height of the isolation pillar 17 extends through the transparent conductive layer 11 and the first charge transport layer 12; the height of the conductive pillar 18 extends through the first charge transport layer 12 and the perovskite layer 13.

[0068] Along the second direction, the isolation post 17, the conductive post 18 and the insulating post 16 are arranged at intervals in sequence.

[0069] In this specific example, the arrangement of the isolation post 17, the conductive post 18, and the insulating post 16 ensures that the current can flow according to... Figure 2 The flow proceeds in the predetermined direction shown. The isolation pillar 17 separates each sub-cell at the transparent conductive layer 11 and the first charge transport layer 12, the insulating pillar 16 separates each sub-cell at the back electrode layer 15 and the second charge transport layer 14, and the conductive pillar 18 realizes the series connection of each sub-cell and the flow of current.

[0070] The isolation pillar 17, conductive pillar 18 and insulating pillar 16 each occupy only two film layers, which helps to reduce the processing difficulty of the perovskite solar cell 1 and helps to save material costs.

[0071] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the isolation column 17, the conductive column 18 and the insulating column 16 are arranged in a column group at intervals along the second direction, and the column group is arranged at least twice at intervals along the second direction.

[0072] In this specific example, the column group is formed by the isolation column 17, the conductive column 18 and the insulating column 16 arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the column group is arranged at least twice at intervals along the second direction; thereby forming at least three sub-cells connected in series.

[0073] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the isolation pillar 17 is made of perovskite.

[0074] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the width of the isolation pillar 17 is smaller than the width of the conductive pillar 18; the material of the conductive pillar 18 is the same as the material of the second charge transport layer 14.

[0075] In this specific example, isolation pillars 17, made of the same material, are formed simultaneously with the deposition of the perovskite layer 13; and conductive pillars 18, also made of the same material, are formed simultaneously with the deposition of the second charge transport layer 14. Narrower isolation pillars 17 are more advantageous in reducing dead zone area.
