Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of laminated solar cells, in particular to a three-terminal back contact perovskite / CIGS laminated solar cell and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the acceleration of global population growth and industrialization, the consumption of traditional fossil energy such as coal, oil and natural gas is rising, leading to the exhaustion of resources and the worsening of energy crisis. At the same time, the use of a large amount of fossil energy also causes serious environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, which becomes an important inducement of global climate change. Solar energy is considered one of the most promising alternative energy sources due to its advantages of abundant resources, green and environmental protection and sustainable utilization. Solar cells, as the core device for directly converting light energy into electrical energy, have become the key focus of current research in terms of conversion efficiency, preparation cost and stability.

[0003] In recent years, perovskite solar cells have become the most promising material in the field of photovoltaics due to their excellent photoelectric performance, low-cost process and rapid efficiency improvement. At the same time, in order to further break through the upper limit of single-junction cells (Shockley-Queisser limit), laminated solar cells have emerged. Among them, perovskite / CIGS laminated solar cells have attracted much attention due to their flexibility.

[0004] Current perovskite / CIGS laminated solar cells are mainly two-terminal or four-terminal structures. Among them, the sub-cells of the two-terminal structure are connected in series, and the output current is limited by the sub-cell with smaller generated current. The highest photoelectric conversion efficiency of the existing two-terminal perovskite / CIGS laminated solar cell is only 26.3%. The sub-cells of the four-terminal structure are connected in parallel, although there is no current matching problem, but the stacking method causes the light to need to pass through multiple layers of ITO glass to reach the bottom cell, which is easy to cause parasitic absorption. The highest photoelectric conversion efficiency of the existing four-terminal perovskite / CIGS laminated solar cell is only 29.36%, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is low. SUMMARY

[0052] Table 1 Simulation parameters

[0053] The EQE comparison diagram of the three-terminal back contact perovskite / CIGS laminated solar cell of Example 1, the two-terminal perovskite / CIGS laminated solar cell of Comparative Example 1 and the four-terminal perovskite / CIGS laminated solar cell of Comparative Example 2 is shown in Figure 4 , and it can be seen from Figure 4 that in the short wave band, the top cell absorbs, and it can be seen that the EQE curves of different structures are close in the short wave band, indicating that the current of the top cell under different structures is similar. The long wave band shows obvious difference, and it can be seen that the three-terminal structure has the largest area, the two-terminal structure is second, and the four-terminal structure is the smallest. This is mainly because the three-terminal structure removes the middle ITO electrode, effectively reducing the loss caused by the reflection and parasitic absorption of the filtered light transmitted by the top cell by the ITO layer, and the two-terminal structure has one layer of ITO layer, and the four-terminal structure has two layers of ITO layer, so the light loss of the bottom cell of the four-terminal laminated solar cell is the largest, and the two-terminal laminated is second.
