Description

Technical Field

[0002] Currently, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of single-junction perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has reached 25.7%, very close to the theoretical maximum energy conversion efficiency under ideal conditions, known as the Shockley-Queisser (SQ) limit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] As can be seen from the background art, the design and optimization of the intermediate connection structure is the key to improving the performance loss of stacked batteries.

[0026] In the related art, indium tin oxide (ITO) is used as a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) and as the intermediate composite layer of tandem cells. Although ITO has advantages such as high conductivity and light transmittance, it has defects such as high brittleness, poor flexibility, and prone to cracking under bending or stretching conditions. It also absorbs light in the near-infrared or ultraviolet regions, which can easily reduce the light utilization of the bottom cell in the tandem cell, thereby reducing the efficiency of the tandem cell. In addition, ITO generally requires high-temperature annealing to achieve low resistance, but other layers in the tandem cell (such as the perovskite absorber layer) may not be able to withstand high temperatures.

[0027] The embodiments of the present application provide a stacked battery and a method for manufacturing the same, which are at least beneficial to improving the efficiency of the stacked battery.

[0032] The terms used in the description of the various embodiments described herein are for describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting.

[0033] The following detailed description of the various embodiments of the present application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that many technical details are provided in the various embodiments of the present application to facilitate a better understanding of the present application. However, even without these technical details and the various variations and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solutions claimed in the present application can still be implemented.

[0034] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a stacked battery provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of another laminated battery provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of another laminated battery provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 It is the orthographic projection of the metal grid layer on the surface of the barrier layer.

[0035] refer to Figures 1 to 4 The stacked cell provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a crystalline silicon bottom cell 100, an intermediate layer 200, and a perovskite top cell 300 stacked in sequence along a preset direction. The intermediate layer 200 includes: a conductive composite layer 201, a metal grid layer 202, and a barrier layer 203.

[0036] The conductive composite layer 201 is located on the surface of the crystalline silicon bottom cell 100 facing the perovskite top cell 300 . The material of the conductive composite layer 201 includes a conductive polymer and a metal dopant.

[0037] The metal grid layer 202 is embedded in a side of the conductive composite layer 201 away from the crystalline silicon bottom cell 100 , and the conductive composite layer 201 exposes a surface of the metal grid layer 202 away from the conductive composite layer 201 .

[0038] The barrier layer 203 is located on a side of the metal mesh layer 202 away from the conductive composite layer 201 , and covers the surfaces of the metal mesh layer 202 and the conductive composite layer 201 .

[0039] The tandem cell provided in the embodiments of the present application comprises a crystalline silicon bottom cell 100 and a perovskite top cell 300. The crystalline silicon bottom cell 100 and the perovskite top cell 300 are compositely connected by an intermediate layer 200. The intermediate layer 200 comprises a conductive composite layer 201, a metal grid layer 202, and a barrier layer 203, stacked sequentially from the crystalline silicon bottom cell 100 toward the perovskite top cell 300. The conductive composite layer 201 comprises a conductive polymer and a metal dopant. The conductive polymer provides lateral conductivity and collects holes in the crystalline silicon bottom cell 100. The metal dopant further enhances the conductivity of the conductive polymer and reduces series resistance. The conductive polymer and the metal dopant work together to reduce surface defects in the crystalline silicon bottom cell 100, suppress recombination losses, and increase the open circuit voltage. The metal grid layer 202 is used to address the problem of insufficient lateral conductivity of the conductive composite layer 201, ensuring uniform current distribution and avoiding local current congestion. At the same time, the mesh formed by the metal grid layer 202 can help maintain the high light transmittance of the intermediate layer 200. The barrier layer 203 is used to prevent the metal ions in the metal grid layer 202 from diffusing into the perovskite top cell 300 , thereby avoiding the performance degradation of the perovskite top cell 300 and improving the overall stability of the stacked cell.

[0040] The crystalline silicon bottom cell 100 may be any one of a PERC cell (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell), a PERT cell (Passivated Emitter and Rear Totally-diffused cell), a TOPCon cell (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact), a HIT / HJT cell (Heterojunction Technology), or a BC cell (Back Contact). The BC cell may be an IBC cell (Interdigitated Back Contact), an HPBC cell (Hybrid Passivated Back Contact), a TBC cell that superimposes TOPCon technology and IBC technology, or an HBC cell that superimposes HIT / HJT technology and IBC technology. Of course, other types of back contact cells are also possible.

[0041] The crystalline silicon bottom cell 100 can also be a single crystal silicon solar cell, a polycrystalline silicon solar cell, an amorphous silicon solar cell or a multi-compound solar cell. The multi-compound solar cell can specifically be a cadmium sulfide solar cell, a gallium arsenide solar cell, a copper indium selenide solar cell or a perovskite solar cell.

[0042] refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the perovskite top cell 300 includes a perovskite absorber layer 301, and an electron transport layer 302 and a hole transport layer 303 located on opposite sides of the perovskite absorber layer 301. The hole transport layer 303 is located between the barrier layer 203 and the perovskite absorber layer 301 and is in contact with the barrier layer 203. In this way, the hole transport layer 303 matches the energy level of the crystalline silicon bottom cell 100 to ensure efficient hole collection in the intermediate layer 200 and reduce interfacial recombination. The barrier layer 203 can prevent metals or impurities from diffusing into the hole transport layer 303, maintaining the stability of the perovskite absorber layer 301.

[0043] The general chemical formula of the material of the perovskite absorption layer 301 is ABX3, where A can be CH3NH3 + 、NH(CH3)2 + 、Cs + or Rb + ; B can be Pb 2+ 、Sn 2+ Or Sr 2+ ; X can be 1 —Br — 、Cl — .

[0044] The materials of the electron transport layer 302 include tin oxide, titanium dioxide, C 60 , fullerenes and their derivatives and other materials.

[0045] The hole transport layer 303 is made of materials including molybdenum oxide, cuprous thiocyanate, poly(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine), and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS).

[0046] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, an interface passivation layer 304 is further included between the perovskite absorption layer 301 and the hole transport layer 303. There are a large number of uncoordinated Pb 2+ Ion or halogen vacancies, these defects will become non-radiative recombination centers, resulting in a shortened carrier lifetime, a decrease in open circuit voltage and fill factor. The interface passivation layer 304 neutralizes the uncoordinated ions and passivates the surface defects of the perovskite absorption layer 301 through chemical bonding (such as Lewis acid / base interaction) or physical coverage.

[0047] In some embodiments, the material of the interface passivation layer 304 includes tetrafluorophenethylamine, 2-phenethylamine, 3,5-difluorophenethylamine, benzamidine hydrochloride, or polyethyleneimine.

[0048] The thickness of the interface passivation layer 304 is 1 nm to 3 nm, for example, 1 nm, 1.2 nm, 1.5 nm, 1.8 nm, 2 nm, 2.3 nm, 2.5 nm, 2.7 nm or 3 nm.

[0049] In the conductive composite layer 201, the conductive polymer material includes at least one of PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonate) or PEDOT:Tos (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):p-toluenesulfonate); the metal dopant material includes at least one of FeCl3, MoO3, or HAuCl4. These conductive polymers have high hole mobility, efficiently collecting holes from the crystalline silicon bottom cell 100 and transferring them to the perovskite top cell 300. FeCl3 and HAuCl4, as oxidizing dopants, extract electrons from the conductive polymer, increasing the carrier concentration. MoO3 can enhance hole injection efficiency by forming an interfacial dipole layer.

[0050] The thickness of the conductive composite layer 201 ranges from 100 nm to 300 nm, and can be, for example, 100 nm, 110 nm, 130 nm, 150 nm, 180 nm, 200 nm, 230 nm, 250 nm, 270 nm, or 300 nm. The thickness of the conductive composite layer 201 within an appropriate range facilitates a balance between high conductivity and high light transmittance.

[0051] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the metal grid layer on the surface of the crystalline silicon bottom cell may be in the shape of a triangle, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, or the like.

[0052] refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the metal grid layer 202 onto the surface of the crystalline silicon bottom cell 100 forms a hexagonal grid, optionally a regular hexagon. Compared to other polygons, hexagons are one of the most efficient densely packed structures in nature. Their high symmetry and uniform side lengths / angles ensure that the current transmission path from the surface of the crystalline silicon bottom cell 100 to the grid nodes is consistent, avoiding local current congestion. Furthermore, for the same grid area, the hexagonal grid has a higher aperture ratio (the ratio of the open area of ​​the mesh to the total grid area) than other polygonal or random grids, allowing more light to pass through the intermediate layer 200 to the crystalline silicon bottom cell 100, thereby improving the current matching of the tandem cell.

[0053] In some embodiments, the hexagonal pore diameter W is 100 nm to 300 nm, for example, 100 nm, 120 nm, 155 nm, 180 nm, 200 nm, 213 nm, 255 nm, 286 nm, or 300 nm. The pore diameter refers to the maximum distance between any two points on a single mesh opening in the nano-metal mesh layer 202.

[0054] In some embodiments, the line width H of the metal mesh layer 202 is 10 nm to 30 nm, for example, 10 nm, 12 nm, 15 nm, 18 nm, 20 nm, 23 nm, 26 nm, 29 nm, or 30 nm. The line width refers to the diameter of the nanowires forming a single mesh in the nanometal mesh layer 202.

[0055] The material of the metal grid layer 202 includes an alloy composed of one or more of silver, copper, gold or aluminum. For example, the alloy may be a silver-copper alloy, a silver-aluminum alloy, a gold-silver alloy, a copper-aluminum alloy, a copper-gold alloy or a gold-aluminum alloy.

[0056] The material of the barrier layer 203 includes aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, or hafnium oxide, and aluminum oxide or silicon oxide can be selected to balance performance and cost.

[0057] In some embodiments, the thickness of the barrier layer 203 is 3 nm to 8 nm, for example, 3 nm, 4 nm, 5 nm, 6.6 nm, 7 nm or 8 nm.

[0058] The tandem cell provided in the embodiments of the present application comprises a crystalline silicon bottom cell 100 and a perovskite top cell 300. The crystalline silicon bottom cell 100 and the perovskite top cell 300 are compositely connected by an intermediate layer 200. The intermediate layer 200 comprises a conductive composite layer 201, a metal grid layer 202, and a barrier layer 203, stacked sequentially from the crystalline silicon bottom cell 100 toward the perovskite top cell 300. The conductive composite layer 201 comprises a conductive polymer and a metal dopant. The conductive polymer provides lateral conductivity and collects holes in the crystalline silicon bottom cell 100. The metal dopant further enhances the conductivity of the conductive polymer and reduces series resistance. The conductive polymer and the metal dopant work together to reduce surface defects in the crystalline silicon bottom cell 100, suppress recombination losses, and increase the open circuit voltage. The metal grid layer 202 is used to address the problem of insufficient lateral conductivity of the conductive composite layer 201, ensuring uniform current distribution and avoiding local current congestion. At the same time, the mesh formed by the metal grid layer 202 can help maintain the high light transmittance of the intermediate layer 200. The barrier layer 203 is used to prevent the metal ions in the metal grid layer 202 from diffusing into the perovskite top cell 300 , thereby avoiding the performance degradation of the perovskite top cell 300 and improving the overall stability of the stacked cell.

[0059] Accordingly, another embodiment of the present application further provides a method for manufacturing a laminated battery, which can be used to manufacture the laminated battery provided in the above embodiment. For the same or corresponding parts as the previous embodiment, please refer to the corresponding description of the previous embodiment and will not be described in detail below.

[0060] The manufacturing method of the laminated battery provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: S11, preparing perovskite top cell; S12, depositing a barrier layer on the surface of the perovskite top cell; S13, spraying a metal grid layer on the surface of the barrier layer away from the perovskite top cell; S14, spin-coating a conductive composite layer on a side of the metal grid layer away from the barrier layer, wherein the conductive composite layer also fills the gaps in the metal grid layer, wherein the material of the conductive composite layer includes a conductive polymer and a metal dopant, and the barrier layer, the metal grid layer, and the conductive composite layer together constitute an intermediate layer; S15. Place a crystalline silicon bottom cell on the conductive composite layer and then perform packaging processing to form a stacked cell.

[0061] In the manufacturing method of the stacked cell provided in the embodiment of the present application, a perovskite top cell is first prepared, and then a barrier layer, a metal grid layer and a conductive composite layer are sequentially formed on the perovskite top cell to form an intermediate layer. Finally, a crystalline silicon bottom cell is placed on the intermediate layer and then packaged to obtain a stacked cell. Because the material of the perovskite absorption layer is sensitive to moisture, high temperature and solvents, if the crystalline silicon bottom cell or the metal grid layer is prepared first, the perovskite solution processing for the subsequent formation of the perovskite absorption layer may be affected by the underlying structure, resulting in a decrease in crystallization quality or interface contamination. Depositing the barrier layer immediately after the perovskite top cell is prepared can isolate physical or chemical damage during the subsequent preparation of the metal grid layer. First, the metal grid layer is sprayed to form a metal grid layer, and then a conductive composite layer composed of a liquid conductive polymer and a metal dopant is spin-coated. This allows the conductive composite layer to penetrate into the mesh formed by the grid of the metal grid layer. After solidification, a continuous lateral conductive network is formed, and at the same time, close electrical contact is formed with the grid to reduce the interface resistance. Finally, the crystalline silicon cell is placed and uniform pressure is applied through the packaging to ensure that the conductive composite layer forms an ohmic contact with the surface of the crystalline silicon bottom cell while avoiding delamination. If a crystalline silicon bottom cell is placed first and then a perovskite top cell is prepared on top, the solvent or annealing in the perovskite top cell preparation process may damage the crystalline silicon bottom cell.

[0062] In some embodiments, preparing a perovskite top cell includes: preparing an electron transport layer; forming a perovskite absorption layer on the electron transport layer; spin-coating an interface passivation layer on the surface of the perovskite absorption layer away from the electron transport layer; performing ultraviolet ozone treatment on the side of the interface passivation layer away from the perovskite absorption layer; forming a hole transport layer on the interface passivation layer; depositing a blocking layer on the surface of the perovskite top cell includes: the blocking layer is located on the surface of the hole transport layer away from the interface passivation layer.

[0063] After forming the electron transport layer and perovskite absorber layer, an interfacial passivation layer is formed on the surface of the perovskite absorber layer. Chemical bonding (such as Lewis acid / base interactions) or physical coverage within the interfacial passivation layer neutralizes uncoordinated ions and passivates surface defects in the perovskite absorber layer. UV-ozone treatment of the interfacial passivation layer removes residual organic matter (such as solvent molecules) on the surface of the interfacial passivation layer, enhancing the adhesion of the subsequent interfacial passivation layer. It also moderately oxidizes the perovskite absorber layer, reducing band bending and improving the fill factor.

[0064] In some embodiments, the UV ozone treatment process parameters include: a wavelength of 150 nm to 200 nm, a power of 30 W to 60 W, and a duration of 20 seconds to 40 seconds. The short wavelength ensures a localized reaction during the ozone treatment without damaging the perovskite absorber layer.

[0065] In some embodiments, spin coating the interface passivation layer includes: dissolving tetrafluorophenylethylamine in isopropyl alcohol to prepare a mixed solution and spin coating the mixed solution on the surface of the electron transport layer, and then purging and drying with an inert gas to volatilize the isopropyl alcohol.

[0066] In some embodiments, the concentration of tetrafluorophenethylamine in isopropanol is 0.3 mg / mL to 0.8 mg / mL; the spin coating speed is 3000 rpm to 5000 rpm; and the spin coating time is 20 s to 40 s.

[0067] Among them, tetrafluorophenethylamine can also be replaced by 2-phenethylamine, 3,5-difluorophenethylamine, benzamidine hydrochloride or polyethyleneimine.

[0068] The barrier layer formation process includes atomic layer deposition (ALD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or physical vapor deposition (PVD), and ALD can be selected. ALD deposits with atomic-level precision, which is beneficial to improving the density of the barrier layer.

[0069] In some embodiments, the metal mesh layer is sprayed using inkjet printing. Inkjet printing process parameters include: ink concentration of 0.2wt% to 0.5wt%, temperature of 60°C to 80°C, and drying time of 20s to 60s.
