[0002] Currently, when testing the short-circuit current density of a solar cell under test, it is necessary to test its external quantum efficiency (EQE), which is usually measured using an external quantum efficiency meter.
[0003] However, when using an external quantum efficiency meter for testing, the probe of the external quantum efficiency meter needs to contact the cell under test to form a circuit, which can easily cause the cell under test to break. In addition, gridless (OBB) cells are difficult to align with the metal electrodes and the test probe, resulting in poor test accuracy. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application provides a method, electronic device, and storage medium for testing the short-circuit current density of solar cells, which can improve the accuracy of testing the external quantum efficiency of the solar cell under test.

Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps: S301. Determine the external quantum efficiency value of the battery cell under test under different wavelength light sources.
[0058] Among them, the different wavelength light sources include a first wavelength light source and a second wavelength light source. The external quantum efficiency value under the action of the first wavelength light source is determined based on the first electroluminescence image of the battery cell under test, the second electroluminescence image of the standard battery cell, and the external quantum efficiency value of the standard battery cell. The external quantum efficiency value under the action of the second wavelength light source is determined based on the first electroluminescence image and the blackbody radiation spectrum.

[0061] It should be noted that the light source 105 can be set as needed, and this application does not impose specific restrictions on it.
[0062] Light intensity, also known as luminous intensity or radiant intensity, is a physical quantity used to describe the luminous flux radiated by a light source within a unit solid angle. It measures the strength of the light emitted by a light source.
[0063] For example, the light intensity value can be the light intensity value that makes the battery cell under test reach its maximum power. Of course, the light intensity value can also have other values, and this application does not make any specific restrictions on this.
[0064] As one possible implementation, the light source device can be controlled to emit several representative first wavelength light sources with wavelengths in the range of 300nm-1000nm, and the light source device can be controlled to emit several representative second wavelength light sources with wavelengths in the range of 1000nm-1200nm. The electroluminescence image of the battery cell under test under the action of each different wavelength light source can be acquired by the image acquisition device and used as the first electroluminescence image. Correspondingly, the electroluminescence images of the standard solar cell under the action of each different wavelength light source are acquired by the image acquisition device and used as the second electroluminescence image; Furthermore, under the action of the first wavelength light source (300nm-1000nm), the external quantum efficiency value of the battery under test is calculated based on the first electroluminescence image, the second electroluminescence image and the external quantum efficiency value of the standard battery cell. Under the influence of a second wavelength light source (1000nm-1200nm), the external quantum efficiency value of the tested solar cell is calculated based on the first electroluminescence image and blackbody radiation spectrum.
[0065] It should be noted that several representative first-wavelength light sources can be pre-set.

[0068] In one example, the spliced external quantum efficiency spectrum of the solar cell under test can be... Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the horizontal axis of the external quantum efficiency spectrum represents wavelength, and the vertical axis represents the external quantum efficiency value (EQE).
[0069] It should be noted that the specific details of this step can be found in the following sections, and will not be repeated here.
[0070] S302. Determine the short-circuit current density of the cell under test based on the external quantum efficiency value under different wavelength light sources.
[0071] It should be noted that short-circuit current density can also be called integral current density.
[0072] As one possible approach, electronic devices can determine the short-circuit current density of the cell under test based on the external quantum efficiency value and the short-circuit current density formula under different wavelength light sources. The formula for short-circuit current density satisfies the following relationship: in, Let q be the short-circuit current density of the cell under test, and q be the electron charge (1.6 × 10⁻⁶). -19 C), Incident photon flux density at 1.5 atmospheres (unit: photon number·m) -2 ·s -1 ·nm -1 ), This is the external quantum efficiency value. The wavelength of the light source is denoted as .
[0073] It needs to be explained that, in When the first wavelength is 300nm-1000nm The calculation method, and When the second wavelength is 1000nm-1200nm The calculation methods differ, and you can refer to the explanation in the following sections for details, which will not be elaborated here.
[0074] Based on S301-S302, this scheme determines the short-circuit current density of the battery cell under test based on the external quantum efficiency values under different wavelength light sources. Since the different wavelength light sources include a first wavelength light source and a second wavelength light source, the external quantum efficiency value under the first wavelength light source is determined based on the first electroluminescence image of the battery cell under test, the second electroluminescence image of a standard battery cell, and the external quantum efficiency value of the standard battery cell. The external quantum efficiency value under the second wavelength light source is determined based on the first electroluminescence image and the blackbody radiation spectrum. Therefore, by comparing the two images and combining them with the external quantum efficiency value and blackbody radiation spectrum of the standard battery cell, the short-circuit current density of the battery cell under test can be determined without the probe contacting the metal electrode of the battery cell under test. This eliminates the problem of poor test accuracy caused by inaccurate alignment between the metal electrode and the test probe, enabling non-contact determination of the short-circuit current density of the battery cell under test. Furthermore, since the external quantum efficiency spectrum fluctuates differently in different wavelength ranges, segmented testing of the external quantum efficiency values under different wavelength light sources can further improve the accuracy of determining the short-circuit current density of the battery cell under test.

Accordingly, the total number of pixels in the second electroluminescent image and the sum of the gray values of each pixel are determined, and the ratio of the sum of the gray values of each pixel to the total number of pixels is determined as the second gray value.
[0079] As another possible implementation, the electronic device can determine the total number of pixels in the first electroluminescent image after shielding the special area, as well as the sum of the gray values of each pixel after shielding the special area, and determine the ratio of the sum of the gray values of each pixel to the total number of pixels as the first gray value.

This is the second grayscale value. The wavelength of the light source is denoted as .
[0084] In one example, the first wavelength is 300nm-1000nm. The electronic device can calculate the external quantum efficiency value of the first wavelength light source at wavelengths of 365nm, 395nm, 420nm, 435nm, 455nm, 505nm, 590nm, 660nm, 760nm, 860nm, and 950nm, respectively, and then obtain the EQE spectrum of the cell under test in the 300nm-1000nm range.
[0085] Based on S401-S402, the external quantum efficiency value of the cell under test at that wavelength is determined by combining the average gray value of the two electroluminescent images with the external quantum efficiency value of the standard cell. In this way, there is no need for the probe to contact the metal electrode of the cell under test, and there is no problem of poor test accuracy caused by inaccurate alignment between the metal electrode and the test probe. It can realize non-contact determination of the short-circuit current density of the cell under test, thereby improving the accuracy of determining the short-circuit current density.
[0086] In one design, Figure 6A flowchart illustrating another method for testing the short-circuit current density of solar cells provided in this application is shown below. Figure 6 As shown in the specific embodiment of this application, the battery cell under test includes a first region and a second region, which are arranged alternately. In order to determine the first grayscale value, this application may further include the following steps: S501, Obtain the first part image and the second part image.
[0087] The first image is an electroluminescent image taken under the condition that a light-receiving area is formed in the first region and an unlight-receiving area is formed in the second region; the second image is an electroluminescent image taken under the condition that an unlight-receiving area is formed in the first region and a light-receiving area is formed in the second region. As one possible implementation, when acquiring the first partial image, the second area can be blocked, and the battery cell under test can be illuminated to form an illuminated area in the first area and an unilluminated area in the second area. Then, the first partial image can be captured by taking a picture. Correspondingly, when acquiring the second partial image, the first area can be blocked, and the battery cell under test can be illuminated to form an unlit area in the first area and an illuminated area in the second area. Then, the second partial image can be captured by taking a picture.
[0088] In one example, combining Figure 7 The drive motor 107 first moves the metal bracket 108 to the first position, and the light source 105 illuminates the battery cell to be tested. At this time, a light-receiving area is formed in the first region and an unlight-receiving area is formed in the second region. The image acquisition device 102 captures an EL image of the first position to obtain the first part image. Next, combined Figure 8 The drive motor 107 moves the metal bracket 108 to the second position, the light source 105 illuminates the battery cell under test, and the image acquisition device 102 captures an EL image of the second position to obtain the second partial image. The dark areas or exposed battery cell areas of the first and second positions are complementary.
[0089] S502. Combine the first and second part images to obtain the first electroluminescent image.
[0090] As one possible implementation, the electronic device can align the first partial image and the second partial image, and then merge the first partial image and the second partial image to obtain the first electroluminescent image.
[0091] In some embodiments, after obtaining the first electroluminescent image, it is also possible to determine whether the battery cell has defects such as black spots or broken grids based on the first electroluminescent image.
[0092] The methods for determining whether solar cells have defects such as black spots or broken grids can be found in existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.
[0093] In this way, by using the combined first electroluminescent image, various defects in the solar cells can be accurately detected.
[0094] S503. Determine the first gray value based on the average gray value of the first electroluminescent image.
[0095] Understandably, by controlling the lighting conditions in different areas and capturing two partial images, the combined images eliminate the influence of uneven local illumination, resulting in a complete and uniform first electroluminescence image. This allows for the precise extraction of interference-free grayscale values, avoiding measurement deviations caused by local overexposure / underexposure, and improving the accuracy of external quantum efficiency calculations. Furthermore, it enables EQE data testing of the entire solar cell surface, overcoming the limitation of conventional EQE testing which can only test local areas, and comprehensively reflecting the cell's performance.
[0096] In one design, Figure 9 A flowchart illustrating another method for testing the short-circuit current density of solar cells provided in this application is shown below. Figure 9 As shown in the specific embodiment of this application, when the wavelength light source is a second wavelength light source, in order to determine the external quantum efficiency value of the battery cell under test under the action of different wavelength light sources, S301 of this application may specifically include the following multiple steps: S601. Determine the electroluminescence intensity of the first electroluminescent image under the action of the second wavelength light source.
[0097] As one possible approach, electroluminescence (EL) photons from the cell under test can be collected via an optical fiber connected to a spectrometer, and the EL spectrum can be obtained by analyzing the spectrometer. Based on the EL spectrum, the electroluminescence intensity of the first electroluminescence image under the action of a second wavelength light source can be determined.
[0098] It should be noted that the horizontal axis of the EL spectrum represents wavelength, and the vertical axis represents electroluminescence intensity.
[0099] The second wavelength is 1000nm-1200nm, which means that the electroluminescence intensity of the first electroluminescence image under the action of a light source with a wavelength of 1000nm-1200nm can be determined based on the EL spectrum.
[0100] S602. Determine the blackbody radiation value under the action of the second wavelength light source based on the blackbody radiation spectrum.
[0101] The blackbody radiation spectrum is the blackbody radiation spectrum at a temperature of 300K. The horizontal axis of the blackbody radiation spectrum represents wavelength, and the vertical axis represents the blackbody radiation value.
[0102] The second wavelength is 1000nm-1200nm, which means that the blackbody radiation value under the action of a light source with a wavelength of 1000nm-1200nm can be determined based on the blackbody radiation spectrum.
[0103] S603. Determine the external quantum efficiency value of the battery cell under test under the action of the second wavelength light source based on the electroluminescence intensity and blackbody radiation value.
[0104] It should be noted that the external quantum efficiency value under the action of the second wavelength light source satisfies the following relationship: in, This is the external quantum efficiency value. This is an electroluminescence intensity spectrum. This represents the blackbody radiation value at a temperature of 300K. The wavelength of the light source is denoted as .
[0105] The second wavelength is 1000nm-1200nm, that is, the external quantum efficiency value under the action of a light source with a wavelength of 1000nm-1200nm can be determined based on the above formula.
[0106] Understandably, by separating the electroluminescence intensity from the blackbody radiation value, eliminating environmental thermal radiation interference, and using the blackbody radiation spectrum as a reference for calibration, the anti-interference capability and accuracy of external quantum efficiency measurement can be significantly improved.
