Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solar cell films, and in particular to a solar cell antireflection film, a preparation method and a solar cell. Background Art

[0002] With the large-scale use of solar cells, people have a great demand for the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic solar cells. Through the existing technology, an anti-reflection film is set on the surface of the solar cell to increase the incident intensity of sunlight, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the power generation efficiency. Single-layer or double-layer films are widely used in the existing technology.

[0003] How to improve the power generation efficiency of solar cells has always been one of the research focuses in the industry. The film on the surface of solar cells can affect the power generation efficiency of solar cells. Studying the film on the surface of solar cells is also one of the research focuses. The anti-reflection film can optimize the incident angle of light, so that the battery can more effectively absorb light incident at different angles. Through the design of multi-layer films, it can be optimized for specific wavelengths of light and improve the light absorption rate within the spectral range.

[0004] In the prior art, a patent with a publication (announcement) number of CN107331712A discloses a solar cell anti-reflection film, wherein the anti-reflection film includes a silicon oxynitride film layer, a silicon nitride film layer, a titanium dioxide film layer and a silicon dioxide film layer connected in sequence on the surface of a silicon wafer of a solar cell, wherein the silicon dioxide film layer is a silicon dioxide dry gel. The anti-reflection film has an excellent anti-reflection effect, can effectively reduce the existence of light reflection, and has little effect of temperature and humidity on its overall anti-reflection effect, and is suitable for various environments. Although the refractive index is controlled within 2.16 to 2.35 in this technology, long-term use will still lead to poor energy absorption rate of the later solar cell substrate. At the same time, the thickness of the existing solar cell anti-reflection film is relatively high, mostly controlled at about 50 nanometers, and the light transmittance effect is not very good, and the efficiency is low. Therefore, a solar cell anti-reflection film, a preparation method and a solar cell are urgently needed. Summary of the invention

The structure of the grid film 5 can be as follows Figure 2 shown.

[0038] Embodiment 1:

[0039] A method for preparing an antireflection film for a solar cell comprises the following steps:

[0040] S1: Material preparation: transparent polyethylene terephthalate, transparent polyimide, nanosol, modified polyvinylidene fluoride resin, cleaning agent, solar cell substrate 6, zinc oxide, the solar cell substrate 6 needs to be cleaned on the surface to ensure the surface is clean, and it can be removed by a common cleaning agent, such as isopropyl alcohol, acetone, deionized water or alcohol. The cleaning agent can remove oil, dust and organic matter, and keep the solar cell substrate 6 clean.

[0041] The solar cell substrate 6 is processed and pre-processed by plasma cleaning and chemical etching to improve the adhesion between the anti-reflection film and the solar cell substrate 6. In order to further increase the adhesion, a layer of grid film 5 is wrapped on the surface of the solar cell substrate 6. The shape of the grid film 5 can be in various forms, such as honeycomb hexagonal shape or triangle; the thickness of the grid film 5 is 3 nanometers.

[0042] 10 parts of transparent polyethylene terephthalate, 35 parts of nanosol, 45 parts of modified polyvinylidene fluoride resin and 40 parts of transparent polyimide are mixed, and then 40 parts of zinc oxide are added and stirred for 30 minutes to obtain a mixed solution. The mixed solution is stored at 50 degrees Celsius for use.

[0043] S2: Coating: First, lay the grid film 5 on the outer surface of the solar cell substrate 6, and drop the solution mixed in step S1 onto the solar cell substrate 6 at a dropping temperature of about 25 degrees to avoid damaging the solar cell substrate 6 due to excessive temperature. Then, evenly coat the solution on the surface of the solar cell substrate 6 by spin coating, and cool it. After cooling, a solution film is obtained, and the solution film thickness is 40 nanometers, which is the solar anti-reflection film layer 4.

[0044] S3: Heat treatment: Place the solar anti-reflection film layer 4 in a heat treatment device for heating, the temperature is controlled between 100-150 degrees Celsius, the time is controlled within 6 hours, the temperature rise should be gradual, and the heating rate should not be too fast, so as not to cause excessive stress and cracks in the solar anti-reflection film layer 4. The temperature can be raised to above 100 degrees within two hours, and 100-150 degrees Celsius treatment is performed in the middle two hours, and the temperature is gradually lowered in the last two hours to obtain a solar anti-reflection film, and then the solar anti-reflection film is subjected to subsequent steps. Heat treatment helps to eliminate stress in the solar anti-reflection film, improve its microstructure, and increase density. Through heat treatment, the refractive index and extinction coefficient of the solar anti-reflection film layer 4 can be optimized, thereby improving the anti-reflection effect. At this time, the average transmittance of visible light and near-infrared light of the solar anti-reflection film is 96%-98%, and the refractive index of the solar anti-reflection film is 1.34.

[0045] In the heat treatment equipment, the solar anti-reflection film layer 4 is not easy to cool down too quickly, and is cooled slowly within two hours.

[0046] In this step, the temperature is strictly controlled and slowly cooled to prevent the solar anti-reflection film layer 4 from breaking due to excessive temperature gradient changes, thereby ensuring the quality of the solar cell anti-reflection film. The grid film 5, the solar anti-reflection film layer 4, the SiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 3, the TiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 2 and the SiO2-TiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 1 are four layers, and the thickness of the four layers is 40 nanometers, which is thinner than the 50-nanometer solar cell film in the prior art.

[0047] S4: Cleaning and Drying: Clean the surface of the solar anti-reflection film layer 4 to remove residues or contaminants that may be generated during the heat treatment process. Usually, deionized water, alcohol or other suitable cleaning agents are used for gentle cleaning; ensure that there are no impurities on the surface of the solar anti-reflection film layer 4, and then place it in a dust-free environment for drying to ensure that no water droplets or other particles remain on the surface of the solar anti-reflection film layer 4.

[0048] The outer surface of the cleaned solar anti-reflection film layer 4 is heat-treated with a SiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 3, and the structure with the heat-treated SiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 3 is cleaned and dried. After drying, the surface of the SiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 3 is heat-treated with a TiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 2, and the structure of the SiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 3 is cleaned and dried. After drying, the surface of the TiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 2 is heat-treated with a SiO2-TiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 1, and the structure of the SiO2-TiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 1 is cleaned and dried;

[0049] After cleaning and drying are completed, hexamethyldisilazane is used to modify the surface of the SiO2 broadband antireflection film 3;

[0050] After the modification is completed, the modified SiO2 broadband antireflection film 3 is cleaned and dried. At this time, the solar antireflection film layer 4, the SiO2 broadband antireflection film 3, the TiO2 broadband antireflection film 2 and the SiO2-TiO2 broadband antireflection film 1 are arranged and combined to form a solar cell antireflection film.

[0051] S5: Defect detection and performance evaluation: Inspect solar cell AR coatings for defects such as cracks, holes, and uneven areas using an optical microscope or other surface analysis tools.

[0052] For solar cell anti-reflection films that have no problems with defect detection, the performance of the films is evaluated through corresponding technologies; including transmittance, refractive index, film thickness, surface roughness and adhesion, etc., to detect whether the quality of the solar cell anti-reflection films is qualified.

[0053] The detection instrument can be a spectrophotometer or an ellipsometer for testing.

[0054] S6: Final test: The solar cell substrates 6 in S1-S6 are all temporary solar cell substrates 6, which are used to facilitate the preparation of solar cell anti-reflection films. The prepared solar cell anti-reflection films are carefully transferred to the solar cell substrate 6 of the solar cell for integration, and pass the photoelectric conversion efficiency, durability and environmental stability tests.

[0055] The solar cell anti-reflection film prepared according to the above steps has an average transmittance of up to 98.4% in the visible light region of the surface layer, an average transmittance of 96%-98% in the visible light and near-infrared light of the bottom layer, and a new functional anti-reflection film with a refractive index of 1.34.

[0092] Embodiment 4:

[0093] A method for preparing an antireflection film for a solar cell comprises the following steps:

[0094] S1: Material preparation: transparent polyethylene terephthalate, transparent polyimide, nanosol, modified polyvinylidene fluoride resin, cleaning agent, solar cell substrate 6, zinc oxide, the solar cell substrate 6 needs to be cleaned on the surface to ensure the surface is clean, and it can be removed by a common cleaning agent, such as isopropyl alcohol, acetone, deionized water or alcohol. The cleaning agent can remove oil, dust and organic matter, and keep the solar cell substrate 6 clean.

[0095] The surface of the solar cell substrate 6 needs to be cleaned to remove oil, dust and organic matter to ensure the surface is clean. It is removed by using a common cleaning agent. Isopropyl alcohol, acetone and deionized water can be used as the cleaning agent. The solar cell substrate 6 is treated and pre-treated by plasma cleaning and chemical corrosion to improve the adhesion between the anti-reflection film and the solar cell substrate 6; in order to further increase the adhesion, a layer of grid film 5 is wrapped on the surface of the solar cell substrate 6. The shape of the grid film 5 can be in various forms, such as a honeycomb hexagonal shape or a triangle; the thickness of the grid film 5 is 3 nanometers.

[0096] 6 parts of transparent polyethylene terephthalate, 35 parts of nanosol, 37 parts of modified polyvinylidene fluoride resin and 26 parts of transparent polyimide are mixed, and then 15 parts of zinc oxide are added and stirred for 30 minutes to obtain a mixed solution. The mixed solution is stored at 50 degrees Celsius for use.

[0097] S2: Coating: First, lay the grid film 5 on the outer surface of the solar cell substrate 6, and drop the solution mixed in step S1 onto the solar cell substrate 6. The temperature during the dropwise addition is about 25 degrees to avoid damage to the solar cell substrate 6 due to high temperature. Then, the solution is evenly coated on the surface of the solar cell substrate 6 by spin coating, and cooled. After cooling, a solution film is obtained. The solution film has a thickness of 25 nanometers and is a solar anti-reflection film.

[0098] S3: Heat treatment: Place the solar anti-reflection film layer 4 in a heat treatment device for heating, and the temperature is controlled between 100-150 degrees Celsius for 6 hours. The temperature rise should be gradual, and the heating rate should not be too fast, so as to avoid excessive stress and cracks in the solar anti-reflection film layer 4. The temperature can be raised to above 100 degrees within two hours, and 100-150 degrees Celsius treatment is carried out in the middle two hours. The temperature is gradually lowered in the last two hours to obtain a solar anti-reflection film, and then the solar anti-reflection film is subjected to subsequent steps. Heat treatment helps to eliminate the stress in the solar anti-reflection film, improve its microstructure, and increase the density. Through heat treatment, the refractive index and extinction coefficient of the solar anti-reflection film layer 4 can be optimized, thereby improving the anti-reflection effect. At this time, the average transmittance of visible light and near-infrared light of the solar anti-reflection film is 96%-98%, and the refractive index of the solar anti-reflection film is 1.34.

[0099] In the heat treatment equipment, the solar anti-reflection film layer 4 is not easy to cool down too quickly, and is cooled slowly within two hours.

[0100] In this step, the temperature is lowered strictly and slowly to prevent the solar anti-reflection film layer 4 from breaking due to excessive temperature gradient changes, thereby ensuring the quality of the solar cell anti-reflection film.

[0101] S4: Cleaning and Drying: Clean the surface of the solar anti-reflection film layer 4 to remove residues or contaminants that may be generated during the heat treatment process. Usually, deionized water, alcohol or other suitable cleaning agents are used for gentle cleaning; ensure that there are no impurities on the surface of the solar anti-reflection film layer 4, and then place it in a dust-free environment for drying to ensure that no water droplets or other particles remain on the surface of the solar anti-reflection film layer 4.

[0102] The outer surface of the cleaned solar anti-reflection film layer 4 is heat-treated with a SiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 3, and the structure with the heat-treated SiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 3 is cleaned and dried. After drying, the surface of the SiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 3 is heat-treated with a TiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 2, and the structure of the SiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 3 is cleaned and dried. After drying, the surface of the TiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 2 is heat-treated with a SiO2-TiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 1, and the structure of the SiO2-TiO2 broadband anti-reflection film 1 is cleaned and dried;

[0103] After cleaning and drying are completed, hexamethyldisilazane is used to modify the surface of the SiO2 broadband antireflection film 3;

[0104] After the modification is completed, the modified SiO2 broadband antireflection film 3 is cleaned and dried. At this time, the solar antireflection film layer 4, the SiO2 broadband antireflection film 3, the TiO2 broadband antireflection film 2 and the SiO2-TiO2 broadband antireflection film 1 are arranged and combined to form a solar cell antireflection film.

[0105] S5: Defect detection and performance evaluation: Inspect solar cell AR coatings for defects such as cracks, holes, and uneven areas using an optical microscope or other surface analysis tools.

[0106] For solar cell anti-reflection films that have no problems with defect detection, the performance of the films is evaluated through corresponding technologies; including transmittance, refractive index, film thickness, surface roughness and adhesion, etc., to detect whether the quality of the solar cell anti-reflection films is qualified.

[0107] The detection instrument can be a spectrophotometer or an ellipsometer for testing.

[0108] S6: Final test: The solar cell substrates 6 in S1-S6 are all temporary solar cell substrates 6, which are used to facilitate the preparation of solar cell anti-reflection films. The prepared solar cell anti-reflection films are carefully transferred to the solar cell substrate 6 of the solar cell for integration, and pass the photoelectric conversion efficiency, durability and environmental stability tests.
