Background Art

[0002] As an emerging industry that has attracted much attention, drones are widely used in various fields such as aerial photography, geological exploration, and agricultural plant protection. However, the small capacity and short battery life of the drones have become one of the biggest problems restricting their further development. Solar drones use photovoltaic cells to absorb solar energy during the day, store excess energy while meeting the needs, and release it at night or when needed to maintain flight or achieve payload tasks. Limited by the current level of technology, solar drones are currently mainly in the stage of theoretical research and experimental verification.

[0003] Drones have been widely used in many fields, including agricultural monitoring, logistics and transportation, disaster relief, environmental protection, and military reconnaissance. However, the energy supply problem of drones has always been an important bottleneck limiting their endurance and application scope. Traditional drone power supply technology is limited by the limited energy density of lithium batteries, and the difficulty of installing photovoltaic cells and low power generation efficiency. As a result, existing drones usually rely on lithium batteries for power supply, but their flight time is often less than 1 hour, which is difficult to meet the needs of long-term and large-scale flight missions.

[0006] Perovskite solar cell modules are a new type of solar cell modules with advantages such as high conversion efficiency, low cost, and short industrial chain. They are widely used in BIPV, distributed power sources, ground power stations, etc. As an emerging photovoltaic technology, perovskite solar cells have been applied to drones.

[0049] For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in specific circumstances. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those generally understood by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. When there is a conflict, the definitions in this specification shall prevail.

[0050] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only embodiments of a part of the present invention, rather than all embodiments.

[0051] Perovskite solar cell modules are mainly composed of perovskite layers, charge transport layers including electron transport layers and hole transport layers, and electrodes. Its working principle is based on the photoelectric conversion effect of perovskite materials. When sunlight shines on the perovskite layer, photons are absorbed and stimulate electrons and holes. These carriers are then separated through the charge transport layer and collected on the electrodes, thereby generating current.

[0052] After research, it was found that perovskite flexible photovoltaic modules use lightweight flexible substrates such as PI and PET materials, and are mainly modular in design, with a unit weight of only 100g / m 2The energy output of the perovskite photovoltaic module is optimized through the maximum power point tracking MPPT technology, which can adapt to different lighting conditions. With the dual power supply mode of photovoltaic module main power supply + battery backup, the system can intelligently allocate energy regardless of sunny days, high light conditions or low light conditions blocked by clouds, so as to achieve stable all-weather operation of the drone and ensure the continuity and stability of the power supply system during flight.

[0053] The stability of perovskite solar cell modules is one of the key issues for their commercial application. In order to improve the stability of modules, various packaging technologies are being explored, such as the use of POE film and butyl adhesive with strong water vapor barrier capabilities. These packaging materials can effectively block the intrusion of water vapor and other harmful substances to extend the service life of the modules.

[0054] In this technical field, photovoltaic cells on solar drones are difficult to replace once they are laid under normal circumstances. It is usually required that the laying be successful once the design is completed. Therefore, the laying of photovoltaic cells for solar drones has also become a key issue affecting the quality and progress of the design, production, and assembly of solar drones. At the same time, the quality and effect of laying will directly affect the absorption of solar energy by photovoltaic cells; due to the existence of shading, laying in different positions will also lead to greater differences in performance. Among many solar cells, organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells have attracted much attention because of their low cost, simple preparation method, flexible preparation, and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. At present, the highest efficiency record of single-junction small-area perovskite solar cells has reached 26.1%, and the efficiency record of single-junction perovskite modules is 18.6%, which shows that it is very promising in commercial applications. Flexible perovskite cells can be mass-produced through printing and coating processes, and because of their light weight and bendability, they have considerable application potential in wearable and portable electronic devices, unmanned systems and other fields. Through reasonable installation methods and maintenance strategies, their advantages can be fully utilized and long-lasting power support can be provided for drones.

[0055] In the present invention, as shown in the attached Figure 1 As shown, the method for installing a perovskite flexible photovoltaic module suitable for a drone includes the following steps:

[0056] A. Design the size and shape of the photovoltaic modules according to the UAV model;

[0057] B. Connect the photovoltaic module to the UAV power management system through a flexible conductive line;

[0058] C. Use electrostatic adsorption film or flexible clips to fix the photovoltaic components to the surface of the drone.

The perovskite flexible photovoltaic module or photovoltaic module for short, its structure includes: a flexible substrate, a transparent electrode layer, a first carrier transport layer, a perovskite light absorption layer, a second carrier transport layer and a metal electrode layer; on the upper side of the flexible substrate, a transparent electrode layer, a first carrier transport layer, a perovskite light absorption layer, a second carrier transport layer and a metal electrode layer are sequentially arranged.

[0065] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0066] The content of the present invention can be more easily understood by referring to the following examples.

[0067] Embodiment 1:

[0068] In this embodiment, the components are designed and prepared;

[0069] The flexible substrate is made of polyimide (PI) film with a thickness of 30μm, which has excellent mechanical flexibility and heat resistance, ensuring the normal operation of the component under dynamic bending and high temperature conditions; the perovskite light absorption layer uses FA-Cs-PbI3, which has the characteristics of high efficiency, excellent wet-heat stability and low-temperature preparation. It is adapted to the flexible polyimide (PI) substrate to obtain a flexible photovoltaic component with an efficiency of 21%.

[0070] The preparation process of perovskite flexible photovoltaic modules suitable for drones is as follows:

[0071] (1) Preparation of transparent conductive layer, i.e. bottom electrode: magnetron sputtering technology is used to sputter and deposit a transparent conductive layer (ITO) on the surface of the PI film, with a transmittance of 80% and a square resistance of 10Ω / m 2 ;

[0072] (2) using physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology to prepare NiOx with an oxygen flux of 13% to form a carrier layer as a hole transport layer;

[0073] (3) The perovskite layer was prepared by a slit coating process, the concentration of the precursor solution was 1 mol / L, and the pre-coated film was vacuum dried and then annealed at 120°C for 15 minutes to form a high-quality perovskite film;

[0075] (5) Using atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology, 20 nm SnOx was prepared as an interface modification layer;

[0076] (6) Vacuum thermal evaporation of 100nm copper as the top electrode. Thickness 100nm;

[0077] (7) Use PDMS packaging components to enhance mechanical stability and wet-heat stability.

[0078] The final perovskite flexible photovoltaic module has a size of 100mm×100mm, an average photoelectric conversion efficiency of 21%, and a mass of less than 50g / m 2 , suitable for wing integration of UAVs.

[0079] In this embodiment, the perovskite flexible photovoltaic module suitable for drones is integrated and modified into the drones;

[0080] The experiment uses a fixed-wing UAV with a wingspan of 2m, a total weight of 2.5kg, a maximum flight speed of 20m / s, and a flight time of 60 minutes without loading photovoltaic modules. The wing surface is a smooth structure, which is convenient for the integration of photovoltaic modules.

[0081] The perovskite flexible photovoltaic module covers 75% of the wing surface to maximize the power generation area while avoiding significant impact on the aerodynamic performance of the drone due to module shading. The installation method is as follows:

[0082] (1) Use thermal conductive adhesive to stick the photovoltaic module to the wing surface to ensure a tight fit;

[0083] (2) Optimize the edge packaging of the module to avoid the impact of wind speed on the module peeling;

[0085] (4) After installation, the total weight of the UAV increased by 0.2 kg, and the smoothness of the wing surface remained good.

[0086] In this embodiment, flight testing;

[0087] The test was conducted in a sunny environment without obvious wind speed interference. The drone was compared with a drone without photovoltaic modules. Each test lasted 60 minutes, and the test items included hovering, cruising and maneuvering flight. By recording the remaining battery level, flight time, output power, voltage and current of the photovoltaic modules, the stability of the modules during flight and the impact on the improvement of endurance were evaluated. The test results show that when the drone flies under sunny conditions, the photovoltaic modules provide an additional 25% of power, and the endurance is extended to 1.5 times the original. In addition, the installation of perovskite flexible photovoltaic modules has little effect on the aerodynamic performance of the drone, and the cruising speed, maneuverability and hovering stability have not changed significantly. In multiple flight tests, the modules did not fall off, warp or crack, and the output performance was stable, indicating that the mechanical reliability of perovskite flexible photovoltaic modules is high under flight vibration and airflow impact.

[0088] Embodiment 2:

[0089] In this embodiment, for the selection of a rotor drone suitable for installing a perovskite flexible photovoltaic module, a quadcopter is preferred, the top of the main body of which is flat and suitable for the installation of a perovskite flexible photovoltaic module. The top size of the drone main body is 200mm×200mm, and the surface material is a carbon fiber composite material.

The electrodes of the perovskite flexible photovoltaic module extend to the side of the drone and are connected to the drone battery management system (BMS) for real-time power monitoring and power supply management.

[0091] In this embodiment, the electrostatic adsorption film method is preferred for installing the perovskite flexible photovoltaic module on the surface of the rotary-wing drone;

[0092] The friction between the electrostatic film and the surface of the drone and the photovoltaic module generates static charge on the adsorption film, forming "electrostatic adhesion", so that the perovskite flexible photovoltaic module is closely attached to the top of the drone body. A transparent polymer electrostatic film with a thickness of 50μm is selected, which has strong electrostatic adsorption ability and a friction charge density greater than 20μC / m 2The surface of the membrane is smooth and texture-free, and it is resistant to high temperatures of 120°C and has strong UV resistance. The electrostatic adsorption force can reach 4-6N per square centimeter, which is enough to cope with vibration and wind pressure during flight.

[0093] In this embodiment, a flight test is performed after a perovskite flexible photovoltaic module is installed on the surface of a rotary-wing UAV;

[0094] Start the drone rotor to simulate the high-frequency vibration during flight and observe whether the components are loose or slipping; compare the drone flight time before and after installing the photovoltaic components. 2 Under these conditions, the additional contribution of photovoltaic modules to the battery power supply of the UAV was tested; the experiment showed that this installation method worked stably in a complex airflow environment, the power generation power of the photovoltaic modules was stable, and it could provide auxiliary power supply for the UAV and meet the endurance requirements of multiple take-off and landing missions.

[0095] Example 3: A perovskite flexible photovoltaic module packaging structure suitable for drone applications is shown in the attached Figure 3 As shown:

[0096] In order to ensure that the flexible components have good stability under working conditions, a "sandwich" packaging structure is adopted. As shown in the figure, two pieces of PDMS are used to completely cover the perovskite components. The thickness of PDMS is controlled within 100 microns to ensure that the photovoltaic components after packaging still maintain good conformability and high power-to-weight ratio.

[0097] Among them, the performance indicators of perovskite flexible photovoltaic modules are:
