Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of electronic materials and electronic technology, and relates to a transparent conductive glass and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the field of modern electronic technology and optoelectronic display, conductive glass plays a pivotal role as a key material. As a transparent electrode, it has been used in optoelectronic devices such as liquid crystal displays, organic light-emitting diode displays, touch screens, and various solar cells. The traditional manufacturing process of conductive glass is mainly to directly deposit a layer of transparent conductive oxide film (TCO, Transparent Conductive Oxide) on a glass substrate by physical or chemical methods to obtain the product, among which the most representative is indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film conductive glass.
[0003] The conductivity of traditional conductive glass is completely dependent on the TCO film deposited on the surface. However, the resistance of the TCO film is generally high, usually between tens and hundreds of ohms, which is increasingly unable to meet the actual needs of application scenarios with extremely low resistance values. To address this problem, an effective solution is to use metal materials to improve the conductivity of conductive glass. For example, silver nanowires can be sprayed on the surface of conductive glass. As a metal with excellent conductive properties, silver in its nanowire form can significantly improve the conductivity of the material while maintaining a certain degree of light transmittance.
[0004] However, the actual effect of this method is greatly affected by the thickness of the spraying. If the spraying is too thin, the connection between the silver nanowires is not tight enough, and it is difficult to form an effective conductive network, so the effect of reducing resistance is limited; on the contrary, if the spraying is too thick, although the resistance can be further reduced, the excessively thick silver nanowire layer will seriously block the light, resulting in a sharp drop in light transmittance. Moreover, the protruding part of the metal grid is too large, which seriously affects the flatness of the glass surface. The uneven surface not only affects the appearance, but also seriously interferes with the subsequent processing and utilization process, resulting in a decline in product quality or even the inability to complete production.
[0005] In summary, there is still a need to study and improve the scheme of optimizing conductive glass using metal materials in order to fully realize a significant improvement in conductive performance. Summary of the invention

[0009] The present invention sets an embedded metal grid to ensure that it is only exposed on the surface of the glass to form contact and electrical connection with the transparent conductive film, that is, the surface of the glass is still flat, and the metal grid does not protrude, thereby ensuring the flatness of the transparent conductive film and the overall surface flatness of the conductive glass. Therefore, not only can the resistance of the conductive glass be greatly reduced, but also due to its embedded structural characteristics, it can ensure a tighter connection with the glass substrate and the transparent conductive film, and will not affect the light transmittance and subsequent processing and utilization.

[0076] Characterization and testing
[0077] Ⅰ. The transparent conductive glass obtained in the embodiment and the comparative example was tested, and the test items included sheet resistance, light transmittance and surface undulation. Sheet resistance, the full name of which is sheet resistance, refers to the resistance between two opposite sides of a square thin film conductive material. It is an important indicator for measuring the conductive performance of the conductive film and is tested using a coated sheet resistance tester. Light transmittance is the ability of light to pass through a medium. It is the percentage of the luminous flux passing through a transparent or translucent body to its incident luminous flux. It is tested using a spectrophotometer, in which the blank control is ordinary white glass. The surface undulation is tested using a step meter to test the height of the peak produced after the addition of a metal grid. The results are recorded in Table 1.
[0078] Table 1
[0079] Group Square resistance(Ω) Light transmittance (%) Surface relief (μm) Example 1 1 90 0.05 Example 2 0.5 90 0.07 Example 3 3 92 0.05 Example 4 0.3 80 0.06 Example 5 3 92 0.03 Example 6 6 93 0.01 Example 7 0.5 80 0.10 Example 8 0.1 75 0.50 Comparative Example 1 1 90 5.00 Comparative Example 2 6 93 0.00
[0080] It can be seen from Table 1 that:
[0081] (1) The current commercial ITO conductive glass (Comparative Example 2) generally has a square resistance of about 6Ω and a light transmittance of about 93%. Compared with Examples 1 and 2, the present invention can significantly reduce the resistance (less than 1Ω) while ensuring that the light transmittance and surface undulation of the conductive glass are not affected;
[0082] (2) By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that embedding the metal grid in the glass can avoid excessive surface undulations caused by the metal wire protruding from the surface, and is not easily affected by accidental wear and tear, resulting in a decrease in conductivity or even loss of conductivity. The flat surface has great advantages for subsequent fine processing on the conductive glass surface;
[0083] (3) By comparing Example 1 with Examples 3-4, it can be seen that a reasonable metal grid duty cycle can ensure that the light transmittance of the material is not affected while improving the conductivity;
[0084] (4) By comparing Example 1 with Examples 5-8, it can be seen that the thickness of the metal grid directly affects the conductivity of the conductive glass. Only when the metal grid reaches a certain thickness can the conductivity of the conductive glass be improved. However, an excessively thick metal grid will affect the light transmittance and surface undulation of the conductive glass. The thickness can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0085] II. The transparent conductive glass provided in Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 is used to prepare a perovskite solar cell, wherein the solar cell comprises a transparent conductive glass, a hole transport layer, a perovskite layer, an electron transport layer, and a top electrode, and the effective area is 1 cm 2 , wherein the transparent conductive glass is exactly the same as that in Example 1;
[0086] The method for manufacturing the perovskite solar cell comprises:
[0087] 1) The transparent conductive glass was sequentially soaked in water, acetone, ultrapure water, and isopropanol for 10 minutes and then placed in a 60°C oven for drying;
[0088] 2) PTAA (triphenylamine polymer) was dissolved in toluene at 2.5 mg / mL, mixed thoroughly, and then a proper amount of the solution was dropped on the surface of the conductive glass. The solution was spin-coated at 6000 rpm for 30 seconds and then heated at 100°C for 10 minutes to obtain a hole transport layer (HTL);
[0089] 3) Weigh CsI, FAI, MAI, PbI2, and PbBr2 and add them to a mixed solution of DMF:DMSO in a volume ratio of 4:1 in a certain proportion to prepare a perovskite precursor solution with a concentration of 1.8 mol / mL. After fully mixing, apply the precursor solution on the hole transport layer under a nitrogen environment at a spin coating speed of 1500 rpm for 10 s and then at 5000 rpm for 30 s. At 35 s after the start, add 60 μL of CB (chlorobenzene) dropwise, and then heat at 120° C. for 20 min to obtain a perovskite layer;
[0090] 4) 20 nm of C was deposited on the perovskite layer by vacuum evaporation. 60 and 7.5nm BCP (2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) as an electron transport layer, and then 100nm Cu is deposited as the top electrode to obtain a perovskite solar cell.
[0091] Then, the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of each cell was tested. PCE is an important indicator for measuring the performance of solar cells. Under standard test conditions, including the setting of parameters such as light intensity (usually 1000 watts / square meter), spectral distribution (as close to the solar spectrum as possible) and temperature (usually 25°C), the current-voltage (JV) curve of the perovskite solar cell was measured to calculate its PCE value. The results are recorded in Table 2.
[0092] Table 2

[0094] It can be seen from Table 2 that:
[0095] By comparing the transparent conductive glass of Example 1 with that of Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell is significantly increased after the conductivity is increased.
[0096] In summary, the present invention sets an embedded metal grid to ensure that it is only exposed on the surface of the glass to form contact and electrical connection with the transparent conductive film, that is, the surface of the glass is still flat, and the metal grid does not protrude, thereby ensuring the flatness of the transparent conductive film and the overall surface flatness of the conductive glass. Therefore, not only can the resistance of the conductive glass be greatly reduced, but also due to its embedded structural characteristics, it can ensure a tighter connection with the glass substrate and the transparent conductive film, and will not affect the light transmittance and subsequent processing and utilization.
