Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flexible solar cells, and in particular to a double-sided flexible solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous growth of global energy demand and the accelerated advancement of carbon neutrality goals, the research and development and application of clean energy technologies have become the focus of global attention. Among many renewable energy sources, solar energy has become the core area of ​​energy development due to its abundance and environmental friendliness. Photovoltaic power generation and photothermal utilization, as the two main ways of utilizing solar energy, each has its own advantages and limitations in practical applications. Photovoltaic power generation directly converts sunlight into electrical energy, with the characteristics of high efficiency and flexible application, but the scope of utilization of the solar spectrum is limited, especially the energy of infrared light cannot be fully converted. In addition, traditional photovoltaic cells have low utilization efficiency of scattered light and ground reflected light, and their performance is significantly limited in high latitudes, cloudy areas or complex environments. Photothermal systems are mainly used to collect infrared band energy of sunlight and generate electricity or store energy through thermal energy conversion, but their system design is complex and their ability to utilize ultraviolet and visible light is weak, resulting in insufficient overall utilization efficiency of the solar spectrum.

[0003] Traditional photovoltaic and solar thermal systems are usually deployed independently. Although they can complement each other in function, they occupy a lot of land resources, have high construction costs, and are difficult to integrate, which restricts their economic benefits in large-scale applications. To solve these problems, solar energy technology has gradually developed in the direction of integration and flexibility in recent years. On the one hand, by optimizing spectral selectivity technology, different bands of sunlight can be accurately separated and utilized to achieve the coordinated operation of photovoltaics and solar thermal. On the other hand, the development of flexible photovoltaic materials provides new possibilities for the integrated application of photovoltaics and solar thermal systems with complex curved structures. This technology is particularly important in scenarios such as trough and dish solar thermal power stations that need to adapt to complex reflective surfaces.

[0004] Although photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies have made great progress, the following problems still exist in terms of spectral utilization efficiency and system integration: 1. Insufficient coordination between existing photovoltaic and solar thermal systems. Currently, photovoltaic power generation and solar thermal collection systems are mostly designed independently, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive and efficient utilization of the solar energy spectrum, resulting in low energy utilization efficiency; 2. Low utilization of indirect light. Traditional photovoltaic systems mainly rely on direct light for power generation, and have limited utilization of scattered light, ground reflected light and ambient light, especially under non-ideal climatic conditions (such as cloudy environments). Efficiency is reduced; 3. Single functional limitation of solar thermal reflectors. Most existing solar thermal reflectors are only used for reflection. and heat collection, which have deficiencies in spectral selectivity regulation and thermal energy conduction efficiency; 4. Photovoltaic cells have poor adaptability to complex curved structures. The rigid structure of traditional photovoltaic cells makes it difficult for them to adapt to the curved shape of trough or dish reflectors, resulting in high installation complexity and incomplete coverage, affecting system performance; 5. The heat dissipation performance of photovoltaic and solar thermal systems is insufficient. The existing photovoltaic-solar thermal hybrid system is prone to heat accumulation under high-intensity radiation, resulting in reduced efficiency and even equipment damage; 6. Limitations on the utilization efficiency of trough and dish solar thermal power station systems. In the design of traditional trough and dish solar thermal power stations, the energy utilization method is single, and the power generation efficiency and thermal energy collection efficiency are not optimal.

[0005] Based on this background, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0060] The flexible semi-transparent photovoltaic cell 1 includes, from top to bottom, an encapsulation layer 107 , a second transparent electrode 106 , an electron transport layer 105 , a light absorption layer 104 , a hole transport layer 103 , and a first transparent electrode 102 .

[0066] The curved reflector 2 uses a combination of a high reflectivity metal layer 202 and a weather-resistant protective layer 203 to improve the reflection effect of unabsorbed light. The curved substrate 201 can be made of high-transmittance flexible glass with a thickness of 0.5-5 cm.

The structure of the prepared curved reflector is as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0067] S2. Assembling bifacial flexible solar cells

[0068] S21. Preparation of flexible semi-transparent photovoltaic cells 1

[0069] A. Preparation of Flexible Substrate 101

[0070] Flexible substrate plays a vital role in the photovoltaic field. It is mainly used to carry the photovoltaic layer. In order to better play its role, the substrate needs to have excellent high light transmittance and excellent mechanical flexibility. In the preparation process, solution casting, hot pressing, electrospinning, melt extrusion and other processes are used. Melt extrusion method: First, one of the materials of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyimide (PI) or polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) is heated to a molten state. In this state, the material has good fluidity, which is convenient for subsequent processing operations. Then, the molten material is extruded into a film. In order to further enhance the mechanical properties of the film, it needs to be stretched. The stretching process makes the molecular structure of the film more orderly, thereby improving its strength and toughness. Subsequently, in order to enhance the adhesion between the film surface and the subsequent coating, the film surface is treated by plasma cleaning. Plasma cleaning can remove impurities and contaminants on the surface of the film, while activating the surface molecules, increasing the surface energy, and thus enhancing the bonding with the subsequent coating.

[0071] B. Preparation of the first transparent electrode 102

[0072] The first transparent electrode 102 is deposited on the flexible substrate 101 to collect carriers in the photovoltaic cell while ensuring high light transmittance. A material selected from indium tin oxide, zinc aluminum oxide or fluorine-doped tin oxide is deposited on the flexible substrate 101 by magnetron sputtering. In order to ensure the uniformity of the first transparent electrode 102, a multi-target rotation sputtering process can be used, and finally the conductivity and light transmittance of the film are enhanced by heat treatment.

[0073] C. Preparation of hole transport layer 103

[0074] The hole transport layer 103 is deposited on the first transparent electrode 102 to effectively transport holes generated by the light absorption layer 104 and prevent reverse electron transport. The hole transport material (one of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-polystyrene sulfonate and poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine]) is deposited on the first transparent electrode 102 by solution spin coating, and then annealed at 80-120°C to remove the solvent and enhance the stability of the layer.

[0075] D. Preparation of light absorbing layer 104

[0076] The light absorption layer 104 is deposited on the hole transport layer 103 and is the core component of the photovoltaic cell, responsible for converting sunlight into electron-hole pairs. The material band gap of the light absorption layer 104 is 1.65eV-2.30eV, and the optimal is 1.70eV. The perovskite and organic quantum dot precursor solutions are coated on the hole transport layer 103 by solution spin coating, slit coating and other methods, and a uniform perovskite film is formed by wet chemical deposition; then annealed at 100-150°C to form a well-crystallized perovskite light absorption layer 104.

[0077] E. Preparation of electron transport layer 105

[0078] The electron transport layer 105 is deposited on the light absorbing layer 104 to conduct the electrons generated in the light absorbing layer 104 to the electrode. [6,6]-phenyl-C 61 -methyl butyrate) or nanocrystalline TiO2 solution is deposited on the light absorbing layer 104 and low temperature annealing is performed at 70-120° C. to enhance the crystallinity and electron transport properties of the layer.

[0079] F. Preparation of the second transparent electrode 106

[0080] The second transparent electrode 106 is deposited on the electron transport layer 105 to collect electrons and conduct current while maintaining light transmittance. One of indium tin oxide, zinc aluminum oxide, silver nanowires or graphene is uniformly deposited on the electron transport layer 105 by magnetron sputtering or thermal evaporation. For graphene or silver nanowires, spin coating or spray coating is usually used, and the flexible substrate 101 is used for transfer process.

[0081] G. Preparation of encapsulation layer 107

[0082] The encapsulation layer 107 is used to protect the battery from moisture and oxygen in the environment and extend the battery life. The encapsulation material (the encapsulation material is one of ethylene-vinyl acetate, polyvinylidene fluoride, butyl rubber, and silicone) is heat-pressed in a vacuum or nitrogen atmosphere by a lamination process to tightly wrap the entire battery structure to prevent environmental factors from damaging the battery, thereby obtaining a flexible semi-transparent photovoltaic cell 1, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0083] S22. Preparation of flexible photovoltaic cells 3

[0084] The structure of the flexible photovoltaic cell 3 is as follows Figure 3 As shown, its preparation process is the same as that of the flexible semi-transparent photovoltaic cell 1, except that the band gap of the perovskite light absorption layer 104 is different. The band gap of the flexible photovoltaic cell 3 is 1.40eV-2.30eV, and the optimal is 1.5eV. Another difference is that the flexible substrate 101 of the flexible photovoltaic cell 3 can be transparent or opaque, and there is no requirement for transparency.

[0085] S23. Assemble and paste the prepared flexible semi-transparent photovoltaic cell 1 and flexible photovoltaic cell 3 onto the curved mirror 2

[0086] S231. Surface cleaning: First, rinse the upper and lower surfaces of the curved reflector 2 with industrial ethanol, isopropanol, and deionized water in sequence, and finally blow dry or bake with nitrogen.

[0087] S232. Adhesive layer coating: Evenly coat the adhesive (using high-performance silicone adhesive or UV curing adhesive) on the upper and lower surfaces of the curved reflector 2 to ensure that the battery can be firmly attached to the mirror surface. The coating thickness of the adhesive should be uniform, generally controlled between 100-200μm, to ensure sufficient adhesion and flatness of the battery. Wait for a few minutes after coating to allow the adhesive layer to dry slightly to a semi-cured state for subsequent pasting operations.

[0088] S234. Cell positioning: Place the prepared flexible semi-transparent photovoltaic cell 1 on the adhesive layer on the upper surface (inside of the bending direction) of the curved reflector 2, and place the flexible photovoltaic cell 3 on the adhesive layer on the lower surface (outside of the bending direction) of the curved reflector 2, and gradually bond them from one side to ensure that there are no bubbles between the cell and the surface of the curved reflector 2. During the bonding process, a roller or other flexible tool can be used for light pressure to ensure that the photovoltaic cell fits tightly on the curved surface and remains uniform.

[0089] S235. Compressing and curing: Use a vacuum pressing system and a roller press to compress the entire system, maintain uniform pressure, and ensure that the bonding between the cell and the curved reflector 2 is complete and firm. The pressing time is generally 30 minutes to 1 hour to ensure full adhesion; if a UV curing adhesive is used, the cell surface can be irradiated with a UV light source to quickly cure the adhesive; finally, a double-sided flexible solar cell is obtained, and its structure is as follows Figure 1 shown.

[0090] The preparation processes of the flexible semi-transparent photovoltaic cell 1, the curved reflector 2 and the flexible photovoltaic cell 3 in the present invention are all conventional techniques in the art.

The infrared transparent film 204 has good infrared light transmittance and mechanical durability, and the film thickness is 100-300nm. In order to enhance the reflection of ultraviolet light and visible light, a high refractive index material layer (made of TiO2) and a low refractive index material layer (made of SiO2 or magnesium fluoride) are sequentially deposited on the infrared transparent film 204 to form an interference film 205. The thickness of the high refractive index material layer is 30-100nm, and the thickness of the low refractive index material layer is 50-200nm. The design of alternating high and low refractive index is adopted to form an interference film 205 that can reflect ultraviolet light and visible light. The structure of the interference film 205 is 5-7 layers alternating, and the total thickness is controlled at 300-500nm. The interference film 205 is reflective in the ultraviolet and visible light bands, and the reflectivity can reach more than 90%.

[0146] Specific preparation process

[0147] S11. Substrate processing

[0148] The curved substrate 201 is made of high-transmittance flexible glass with a thickness of 0.5-5 cm. The curved substrate 201 is cleaned and polished to ensure the surface optical performance. A heat-conducting channel 206 or an embedded structure is prefabricated on the lower surface of the curved substrate 201 through laser cutting or CNC processing, and the heat-conducting material 207 is embedded in the prefabricated channel 206 or the embedded structure. A welding or hot pressing bonding process is used to ensure a firm connection. Interface treatment is performed by coating a thermal conductive paste on the contact surface between the curved substrate 201 and the heat-conducting material 207 to reduce the interface thermal resistance, and a vacuum pressing technology is used to ensure good adhesion between the embedded material and the substrate.

[0149] S12. A silver or aluminum film is uniformly deposited on the surface of the thermal conductive material 207 and the lower surface of the curved substrate 201 by vacuum evaporation or magnetron sputtering to obtain a high reflectivity metal layer 202; subsequently, a weather-resistant protective layer 203 is prepared on the lower surface of the high reflectivity metal layer 202 by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or spin coating to enhance its corrosion resistance and durability. The thickness of the high reflectivity metal layer 202 can be 50-500nm, more preferably 100-200nm; the thickness of the weather-resistant protective layer 203 can be 30-300nm, more preferably 80-100nm.

[0150] S13. Prepare a spectrally selective coating 208 (such as the spectrally selective coating in Example 3 or a plurality of alternately arranged silicon dioxide layers and titanium dioxide layers) on the upper surface of the curved substrate 201 to obtain a curved reflector 2 (whose structure is as shown in FIG. Figure 8 shown).

[0151] Embodiments 3-5 provided by the present invention are all improvements based on Embodiments 1 and 2, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can be combined with each other.

[0152] The working principle of the double-sided flexible solar cell provided by the present invention is as follows: Fig. 9 As shown, when sunlight irradiates the flexible semi-transparent photovoltaic cell 1, ultraviolet light and visible light are absorbed by the flexible semi-transparent photovoltaic cell 1, and infrared light is reflected by the curved reflector 2 to the collector 5 and absorbed. The flexible photovoltaic cell 3 on the back can further absorb ambient light and ground reflected light. In addition, the sun tracking axis can adjust the direction of the photovoltaic cell to receive as much sunlight as possible. By integrating the upper and lower layers of photovoltaic cells on the curved reflector 2, the triple benefits of photovoltaic power generation and solar thermal utilization are achieved, greatly improving the overall energy utilization efficiency of the curved reflector type solar thermal power station.

[0153] The double-sided flexible solar cell prepared by the above method is applied in trough-type solar thermal power generation system and dish-type solar thermal power generation system, which helps to improve the utilization rate of the solar spectrum and significantly improve the synergistic utilization efficiency of photovoltaic power generation and solar thermal utilization, and has broad application prospects.

[0154] The present invention significantly improves the efficiency of light energy utilization through a unique three-layer structure design, spectral selective utilization, and deep coupling of photovoltaic and photothermal systems, and has obvious advantages over existing technologies. The innovative three-layer structure integrates flexible semi-transparent photovoltaic cells, curved reflectors, and lower-layer flexible photovoltaic cells into one, achieving efficient utilization of the solar spectrum in different bands. The upper-layer flexible semi-transparent photovoltaic cells mainly absorb ultraviolet and visible light, and allow infrared light to pass through the curved reflectors in the middle layer for heat collection; the lower-layer flexible photovoltaic cells use ground reflected light and ambient scattered light to generate electricity. Experiments have shown that this design increases the synergistic efficiency of photovoltaic and photothermal systems by 15% to 20%, the power generation per unit area is 18% higher than that of traditional systems, the thermal energy conversion efficiency is increased by about 12%, and the waste of solar energy resources is significantly reduced. The photoelectric conversion efficiency can reach more than 50%.

[0155] Through spectrally selective coating technology, the middle layer curved reflector not only has high transmittance for infrared light, but also can reflect unabsorbed ultraviolet light and visible light, maximizing the efficiency of spectral distribution. In addition, adding a metal reflective layer on the back of the lower flexible photovoltaic cell and introducing microstructure surface treatment technology significantly enhances the ability to capture indirect light, increasing the power generation efficiency of the lower flexible photovoltaic cell by 8%, effectively making up for the shortcoming of the existing photovoltaic technology in terms of low utilization of scattered light and ground reflected light.

[0156] The upper and lower layers of flexible photovoltaic cells provided by the present invention can adapt to the complex curved reflector structure of trough and dish-type solar thermal power stations. The three-layer design of the trough reflector optimizes the synergistic power generation mode of photovoltaic and solar thermal. When used in high-radiation areas, the overall light energy utilization efficiency is significantly improved; the application of dish-type reflectors further expands the comprehensive utilization potential of direct light and scattered light, and is suitable for deployment in complex terrain or high-scattered light environments. Data shows that the total light energy utilization efficiency of the present invention in actual tests is about 20% higher than that of conventional systems.

[0157] In addition, the present invention optimizes the heat transfer path by embedding thermal conductive materials in the curved reflector, effectively solving the efficiency loss problem caused by heat retention in traditional photothermal systems. Experimental measurements show that the surface temperature of the curved reflector prepared in Example 5 decreased by 10-15°C, the heat transfer efficiency increased by more than 20%, and the overall performance of the thermal energy collection system was significantly improved. This design takes into account both high efficiency and high adaptability, and is particularly suitable for large-scale deployment in areas with high radiation and high temperature differences. Compared with the prior art, the present invention not only optimizes the synergistic utilization mode of photovoltaics and photothermal, but also significantly improves the energy conversion efficiency and system operation stability, providing an innovative solution for the development of photovoltaic-photothermal coupling systems.
