Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a perovskite crystalline silicon tandem cell with a low temperature coefficient and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a clean and unlimited energy source, solar energy has played an increasingly important role in the global energy structure due to its abundant reserves and high cost-effectiveness. Photovoltaic cells are one of the main ways to convert solar energy into electricity, and the application of materials such as monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon has reached a high level of industrialization. However, as the demand for higher photoelectric conversion efficiency and lower manufacturing costs grows, perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem technology has gradually become a hot topic in the photovoltaic field.

[0003] From a theoretical point of view, by combining perovskite materials with wide bandgaps, high absorption coefficients, and high carrier mobility with crystalline silicon materials with good stability and superior electron transport performance, a new type of heterojunction structure can be constructed, significantly improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells. Studies have shown that this combination can achieve a photoelectric conversion efficiency of over 40%, far exceeding the performance of traditional crystalline silicon solar cells. In fact, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem cells has broken through 34%, showing great commercial potential.

[0004] However, despite these advantages, perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem cells are limited in high-temperature conditions. In particular, in outdoor high-temperature environments, the output power of such cells decreases significantly due to a high temperature coefficient. Specifically, as the ambient temperature rises, the bandgap of perovskite materials increases with temperature, which, combined with the opposite trend of crystalline silicon materials, leads to a current mismatch problem, severely affecting cell efficiency. Currently, the temperature coefficient of such cells is generally between -0.3% / °C and -0.4% / °C, which makes their actual power generation in high-temperature environments significantly lower than expected, especially in hot summer weather, where daily power generation can be 5-8% lower than that of photovoltaic devices with a lower temperature coefficient. Therefore, although perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem cells have extremely high photoelectric conversion efficiency in theory, their practicality is challenged by temperature-related performance issues, especially in hot regions or seasons, where their performance advantage is difficult to fully realize.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new cell that can effectively suppress the external lattice thermal expansion of perovskite materials during temperature rise, thereby reducing the temperature coefficient of the entire tandem cell device and improving its actual power generation performance in high-temperature environments; solve the problem of limited actual power generation performance of existing perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem cells due to a high temperature coefficient.

[0037] In solar photovoltaic technology, perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem solar cells, with their combination of wide-bandgap perovskite and highly stable crystalline silicon materials, can theoretically achieve photoelectric conversion efficiencies exceeding 40%, far surpassing traditional crystalline silicon solar cells. However, despite their laboratory efficiencies exceeding 34%, demonstrating significant commercial potential, these cells are limited in high-temperature conditions. Due to their high temperature coefficient, their output power decreases significantly in hot environments, with daily power generation potentially 5%-8% lower than other photovoltaic devices during hot summer days. This restricts their practicality and full realization of their performance advantages in high-temperature environments. Therefore, while perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem solar cells show great promise in improving photoelectric conversion efficiency, their temperature-related performance issues still need to be addressed to adapt to a wider range of applications.

[0038] To address this, embodiments of the present invention provide a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell with a low temperature coefficient, which effectively suppresses the external lattice thermal expansion of the perovskite material during temperature rise, thereby reducing the temperature coefficient of the entire tandem solar cell device and improving its actual power generation performance under high temperature conditions; thus solving the problem that the actual power generation performance of existing perovskite / silicon tandem solar cells is limited due to their high temperature coefficient.

[0039] Specifically, specific structures and processes are employed to effectively suppress the external lattice thermal expansion of perovskite materials at high temperatures, thereby reducing the temperature coefficient of the entire tandem solar cell and improving its power generation performance under high-temperature conditions. Specific measures include: utilizing a perovskite absorber layer 211 with an oxide nanoscaffold; optimizing the thickness and fabrication process of each layer (such as the hole transport layer 210 and electron transport layer 214); precisely controlling the spin-coating, flash evaporation, and annealing conditions of the perovskite precursor solution; and the method for forming the passivation layer 212. These strategies work together to solve the problem of limited actual power generation performance in existing perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem solar cells due to their high temperature coefficient, enabling the tandem solar cell to maintain high photoelectric conversion efficiency even under high-temperature conditions.

[0098] This embodiment aims to provide a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell with a low temperature coefficient. Its core innovation lies in introducing oxide nanoscaffolds during the perovskite thin film crystallization process. This effectively suppresses the external lattice thermal expansion of the material as the temperature rises, thereby reducing the temperature coefficient of the entire tandem solar cell device and improving its actual power generation performance under high-temperature environments.

[0099] The nanoscaffold effectively suppressed the external lattice thermal expansion of the perovskite material as the temperature rose, thereby reducing the overall temperature coefficient of the tandem solar cell.

[0100] The nanoscaffold exhibits optimal performance when the solution concentration is 1 wt%. At this concentration, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the device can be maintained above 32%, while also exhibiting good anti-expansion effects.

[0101] In comparative examples 2 and 3, although the photoelectric conversion efficiencies of both were similar, both exceeding 32%, the nanoscaffold prepared with a concentration of 1 wt% had better expansion suppression ability than the nanoscaffold prepared with a concentration of 0.5 wt%, resulting in the device of example 3 having a lower temperature coefficient than that of example 2.

[0102] However, when the concentration was further increased to 2 wt%, although a further reduction in the temperature coefficient was expected, no additional improvement was actually observed. Instead, this high concentration led to excessively thick nanoscaffold stacking, increasing resistance, hindering efficient current transmission, and ultimately causing the photoelectric conversion efficiency to drop to 30.1%.

[0103] In summary, this embodiment, by introducing a specific concentration of oxide nanoscaffolds during the crystallization process of perovskite thin films, not only successfully reduced the temperature coefficient of the tandem solar cell, but also improved the stability and reliability of the device under high-temperature conditions while maintaining high photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[0104] The aforementioned perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell with a low temperature coefficient incorporates a perovskite absorber layer 211 with a nanoscaffold into a conventional tandem structure, with a crystalline silicon bottom cell, a tunneling layer 117, and a perovskite top cell arranged sequentially from bottom to top. This design effectively suppresses the external lattice thermal expansion of the perovskite material during temperature increases using the nanoscaffold, thereby reducing performance fluctuations caused by temperature changes and lowering its temperature coefficient.

[0145] Table 1. Test Results

[0146]

[0147] This embodiment significantly reduces the overall temperature coefficient of the tandem solar cell by introducing oxide nanoscaffolds during the crystallization process of existing perovskite thin films, and improves its actual power generation efficiency under high temperature conditions, thereby solving the problem of limited actual power generation performance caused by high temperature coefficient in the prior art.

[0148] Oxide nanoscaffolds were introduced during the crystallization process of perovskite thin films. By precisely controlling the doping process, oxide nanoparticles were uniformly attached to the grain boundaries inside the perovskite film, forming a support structure. This nanoscaffold, composed of materials with low thermal expansion coefficients such as zinc oxide, effectively suppresses the external lattice thermal expansion of the perovskite material when the temperature rises, thereby reducing the temperature coefficient of the entire tandem solar cell device. This not only improves the stability of the battery under high-temperature conditions but also enhances its photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[0149] Example 1: Although this example demonstrates a photoelectric conversion efficiency as high as 32.5%, its temperature coefficient is relatively high at -0.41% / ℃. This result indicates that even at high efficiency, a high temperature coefficient still limits its performance in practical applications.

[0150] Examples 2 through 4: The tandem solar cells prepared using these methods exhibit significantly reduced temperature coefficients. This is because the introduced zinc oxide nanoscaffold effectively suppresses the lattice thermal expansion of the perovskite material under temperature changes. Therefore, these examples not only maintain high photoelectric conversion efficiency but also demonstrate better stability and higher power generation performance at high temperatures.

[0151] Furthermore, this embodiment also optimized the solution concentration during the nanoscaffold preparation process. The study found that when the solution concentration was 1 wt%, the prepared nanoscaffold exhibited the best performance in suppressing expansion and improving photoelectric conversion efficiency. For example:

[0152] Comparison between Example 2 and Example 3: The photoelectric conversion efficiency of both devices can reach more than 32%, but the nanoscaffold prepared with a 1 wt% concentration solution showed better anti-expansion performance compared with the 0.5 wt% concentration, resulting in a lower temperature coefficient in Example 3.

[0153] Example 4 (2wt% concentration): Although attempts were made to further reduce the temperature coefficient, no significant improvement was actually observed. On the contrary, the excessively high concentration (2wt%) led to an increase in resistance, affecting current transmission and causing the photoelectric conversion efficiency to drop to 30.1%.

[0154] In summary, this embodiment successfully achieved a low temperature coefficient for perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem solar cells by introducing a specifically designed oxide nanoscaffold and optimizing its fabrication parameters, while ensuring high photoelectric conversion efficiency. This method not only broadens the application range of perovskite solar cells but also provides strong technical support for their commercialization.

[0155] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
