Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thin film battery assembly design, and in particular to a high-efficiency thin film battery assembly structure. Background Art

[0002] Conventional perovskite thin-film solar cell modules are primarily composed of five components: a transparent conductive substrate, a first transmission layer, a perovskite light-absorbing layer, a second transmission layer, and a metal / transparent electrode. The transparent conductive substrate, typically made of indium tin oxide (ITO) or fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), acts as a carrier for other materials, allowing light to enter and transmit the collected photoelectrons to an external circuit.

[0003] The high transmittance and low resistivity of the transparent conductive layer help improve the utilization and conversion efficiency of incident light. However, the optical and electrical properties of the transparent conductive layer are interdependent, and it is generally impossible to achieve both high transmittance and high electrical performance simultaneously. This leads to low photoelectric conversion efficiency in thin-film solar modules. In practical applications, it is necessary to find a balance between optical and electrical performance, which has a certain impact on the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar module. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problem that the transparent conductive layer in the current solar thin-film battery module cannot have both high transmittance and high electrical performance, resulting in low photoelectric conversion efficiency of the thin-film battery module. The utility model designs an efficient thin-film battery module structure to solve the above problem, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the thin-film battery module.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The utility model designs a high-efficiency thin-film battery assembly structure, which includes:

[0007] A front glass having a light incident surface and a light exiting surface opposite to each other;

[0008] An encapsulating film is laminated on the light emitting surface;

[0009] A composite electrode layer, which is stacked on the packaging film, and is composed of a transparent conductive layer and a plurality of metal grid lines spaced apart on the transparent conductive layer, wherein the metal grid lines are used to increase light reflection;

[0010] a first transmission layer, which is stacked on the transparent conductive layer;

[0011] A thin film battery layer, which is stacked on the first transmission layer and is composed of a plurality of sub-batteries connected in series;

[0012] a second transmission layer stacked on the thin film battery layer;

[0013] a back electrode layer, stacked on the second transmission layer;

[0015] a plurality of first insulating layers, which are arranged along the thickness direction of the thin film battery layer, and the first insulating layers are correspondingly arranged between the sub-batteries and the current collecting grid lines;

[0016] and a back glass stacked on the back electrode layer.

[0017] Furthermore, a high-efficiency thin-film battery assembly structure is provided: the diameter of the metal grid line is set to 40 to 80 μm.

[0023] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0024] (1) The high-efficiency thin-film battery assembly structure designed in the present invention has both good light transmittance and high conductivity. By using a metal grid line and a transparent conductive layer in combination, a composite electrode layer is formed. This composite electrode layer can utilize the metal grid line to achieve a good conductivity effect when the thickness of the transparent conductive layer is relatively low. At the same time, due to the low thickness of the transparent conductive layer, a high light transmittance can also be guaranteed, so that the prepared thin-film battery assembly structure has a high photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[0025] (2) The thin-film battery module structure designed in the present invention can improve the conductivity while ensuring high light transmittance through the design of a composite electrode layer and the coordinated use of metal grid lines with triangular cross-sections, current collection grid lines and a transparent conductive layer, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite thin-film battery module.

[0026] (3) The utility model utilizes the multiple reflections of the metal grid lines with triangular cross-sections to increase the utilization rate of light, reduce the reflection of incident light at the metal grid line interface, and improve the battery efficiency and short-circuit current density; at the same time, the composite electrode layer formed by the metal grid lines and the transparent conductive layer has high conductivity, which increases the hole or electron extraction rate of the non-metallic counter electrode and reduces the recombination of electrons and holes, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the thin-film battery assembly.

[0027] (4) The composite electrode designed in this utility model can achieve high light transmittance due to the reduced thickness of the transparent conductive layer, thereby improving battery efficiency and short-circuit current density. Compared with a single transparent electrode layer, the transparent electrode layer combined with the metal grid line in this utility model has lower string resistance, thinner transparent electrode layer, and higher light transmittance.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment 1 designs a high-efficiency thin-film battery assembly structure, which includes:

[0037] A front glass 1 having a light incident surface 11 and a light emitting surface 12 opposite to each other;

[0038] The packaging film 2 is laminated on the light emitting surface 12;

[0039] A composite electrode layer 3 is laminated on the encapsulating film 2. The composite electrode layer 3 is composed of a transparent conductive layer 31 having a thickness of 80 nm and a plurality of metal grid lines 32 spaced apart on the transparent conductive layer 31 (the metal grid lines 32 are in direct contact with the encapsulating film 2). The metal grid lines 32 are made of Ag and have an equilateral triangular cross-section to increase the number of light reflections. An angle α is formed between the triangular metal grid lines 32 and the transparent conductive layer 31, and α is ≤ 60°.

[0040] A first transmission layer 4, which is stacked on the transparent conductive layer 31;

[0041] A thin film battery layer 5 is stacked on the first transmission layer 4 and is composed of a plurality of sub-batteries 51 connected in series;

[0042] A second transmission layer 6, which is stacked on the thin film battery layer 5;

[0043] a back electrode layer 7, which is stacked on the second transmission layer 6;

[0044] A plurality of current collecting grid lines 8, which are used to connect the plurality of sub-cells 51 in series to form the thin film battery layer 5, wherein one end of the current collecting grid line 8 is connected to the composite electrode layer 3 on one of the sub-cells 51, and the other end is connected to the back electrode layer 7 on another adjacent sub-cell 51;

[0045] A plurality of first insulating layers 9 are provided along the thickness direction of the thin film battery layer 5, and the first insulating layers 9 are correspondingly provided between the sub-batteries 51 and the current collecting grid lines 8, and the first insulating layers 9 can provide insulation and passivation;

[0046] and a back glass 10, which is stacked on the back electrode layer 7;

[0047] The thin-film battery assembly structure also includes several second insulating layers 13, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the current collecting grid line 8 with the first insulating layer 9, and the second insulating layer 13 is arranged between the sub-battery 51 and the current collecting grid line 8. The second insulating layer 13 can passivate and protect the sub-battery 51, while preventing the movement of I ions and the formation of metal iodide.

[0048] The high-efficiency thin-film battery module structure designed in this embodiment 1 can achieve both good light transmittance and high conductivity. The metal grid lines 32 with a triangular cross-section and the transparent conductive layer 31 are used in combination to form a composite electrode layer 3. This composite electrode layer 3 can utilize the metal grid lines 32 to achieve the effect of improving conductivity when the thickness of the transparent conductive layer 31 is set to be low. At the same time, since the thickness of the transparent conductive layer 31 is set to be low, the overall light transmittance can also be guaranteed to be high. When sunlight is irradiated, the metal grid lines 32 with a triangular cross-section in the middle are used for multiple reflections to increase the utilization rate of light, reduce the reflection of incident light at the interface of the metal grid lines 32, improve the battery efficiency and short-circuit current density, and thus make the prepared thin-film battery module structure have a high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
