[0002] In the exploration and research of new processes and materials for perovskite thin-film batteries, IV testing devices are usually used to test the relevant performance parameters of the bare battery cells. Since the bare battery cells have not undergone the encapsulation process, their film materials are directly exposed to the air. Oxygen, moisture and other substances in the air will accelerate the decomposition of the film materials, directly affecting the accuracy of the battery test results.

However, the glove box is bulky, and the actual operation involves multiple nitrogen purging and vacuuming operations, which is time-consuming and requires a lot of auxiliary equipment, making it inconvenient for the needs of rapid batch testing.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0020] Please refer to the following at the same time Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the perovskite thin-film solar cell IV testing device of this utility model includes a base 1 and a light-transmitting cover 2 that are sealed together. The light-transmitting cover 2 is disposed on the upper part of the base 1, and a test chamber 3 is provided between the light-transmitting cover 2 and the base 1. A support 4 and several test fixture assemblies 5 are disposed in the test chamber 3. The support 4 is fixed on the base 1, and the test fixture assemblies 5 are installed in the inner groove 6 of the support 1. The perovskite thin-film solar cell to be IV tested is placed on the test fixture assembly 5.

[0021] The test fixture assembly 5 includes an insulating block 7, a positioning block 8, a movable block 9, an elastic probe 10, and a probe base 11. The insulating block 7 is mounted on the side wall of the inner groove 6. The positioning block 8 and the movable block 9 are respectively mounted on the insulating block 7, and abut against the four edges of the perovskite thin-film solar cell to be tested (IV), fixing the perovskite thin-film solar cell in the test position. The elastic probe 10 is disposed on the probe base 11, which is fixed to the bottom surface of the inner groove 6. The elastic probe 10 makes conductive contact with the test area at the bottom of the perovskite thin-film solar cell to be tested (IV).

[0022] Thanks to the use of the elastic probe 10, the probe head can reliably connect the cell lead-out section of the perovskite thin-film solar cell to the external IV test device without damaging the perovskite thin film layer.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, four test fixture assemblies 5 are set on the support 4. Each test fixture assembly 5 is equipped with two sets of elastic probes 10 and probe bases 11. Three rows of elastic probes 10 are set on each probe base 11. The number of rows of elastic probes 10 and the number of probes in each row can be set as needed.

[0024] Helium gas inlet 12 and nitrogen extraction port 13 are respectively provided on the side of the base 1, and both inlet 12 and extraction port 13 are connected to the test chamber 3. A wire guide hole 14 for test leads is also provided on the side of the base 1. Helium gas required for heating the test chamber 3 is introduced into the test chamber 3 through the helium gas inlet 12. A vacuum is evacuated from the test chamber 3 through the extraction port 13. The relationship between the vacuum pumping speed and the nitrogen supply is adjusted to ensure a relatively stable nitrogen atmosphere in the test chamber 3. The temperature of the nitrogen gas introduced into the test chamber 3 is regulated by a fluid temperature regulating device to meet the testing requirements of the perovskite thin-film solar cell to be tested under different temperature conditions.

[0025] Multiple exhaust holes 15, vent holes 16, and lead wire holes 17 are respectively provided on the bottom wall of the inner groove 6 of the bracket 4. One end of the exhaust hole 15 is connected to the suction hole 13, and the other end is connected to the test chamber 3. One end of the vent hole 16 is connected to the helium gas hole 12, and the other end is connected to the test chamber 3. One end of the lead wire hole 17 is connected to the wire passage hole 14, and the other end is connected to the test chamber 3.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 of this utility model is provided with one helium gas hole 12, four exhaust holes 13 and two wire passage holes 14. Correspondingly, four exhaust holes 15 and eight lead wire holes 17 are provided on the bottom wall of the inner groove 6, and multiple ventilation holes 16 are densely distributed.

[0027] A sealing ring (not shown in the figure) is provided at the junction of the base 1 and the light-transmitting cover 2. The sealing ring allows a relatively sealed environment to be formed inside the light-transmitting cover 2 under vacuum conditions.

[0028] The bracket 4 is fixed to the base 1 by adjusting bolts (not shown in the figure), and the height difference between the bracket 4 and the elastic probe 10 is adjusted by adjusting bolts.

[0029] In another embodiment of this invention, a heating component (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the support 4. The heating component is used to adjust the temperature inside the test chamber 3 to meet the IV testing requirements of the perovskite thin-film solar cell at different temperatures.

[0030] The light-transmitting cover 2 includes a frame 18 and a top cover 19 that are sealed together. The frame 18 is made of transparent acrylic sheet, and the top cover 19 is made of transparent quartz sheet. During IV testing, a simulated light source is used to illuminate the solar cells; therefore, the light-transmitting cover 2 needs to have sufficiently high transmittance across the wavelength range of the simulated light source throughout the entire IV testing process. A transparent quartz sheet is used to meet the requirements of high strength, high temperature resistance, and high transmittance. The issues of light transmission and sealing are solved by embedding the quartz sheet into the acrylic frame and filling the gaps with sealant.

[0031] The insulating block 7 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene or bakelite.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
