[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a laminate for solar cells with an improved balance of water vapor barrier properties and flexibility. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0009] [Figure 1] This is a schematic diagram showing a cross-section of an example of a laminate for solar cells according to this embodiment. [Figure 2] This is a schematic diagram showing the top view of an example of a solar cell module according to this embodiment. [Figure 3] This is a schematic diagram showing a cross-section of an example of a solar cell module according to this embodiment. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0010] In this embodiment, unless otherwise specified, "A~B" indicating a numerical range means A or greater and B or less.
[0011] In this embodiment, "having substituents" of an alkyl group, unless otherwise specified, means that hydrogen atoms present in its structure are substituted by substituents. The position of the substituents and the number of substituents are not particularly limited. Note that if the substituent has carbon atoms, the number of carbon atoms in the substituent is not included in the total number of carbon atoms of the substituted group. For example, an ethyl group having a phenyl group as a substituent is considered an alkyl group with 2 carbon atoms.
[0012] Furthermore, the various monomers in this embodiment may be derived from fossil raw materials, from biological sources such as biomass, or from mixtures thereof.
[0013] 1. Stacked material for solar cells The laminate for solar cells according to this embodiment will be described below.
[0014] The solar cell laminate of this embodiment comprises a layer (A) containing a perovskite compound and a layer (B) containing a cyclic olefin resin (B1), wherein the glass transition temperature Tg of the cyclic olefin resin (B1) is 45°C or higher and 280°C or lower.
[0015] The solar cell laminate of this embodiment may include layers other than the layer (A) containing the perovskite compound and the layer (B) containing the cyclic olefin resin (B1).
[0016] An example of a solar cell laminate according to this embodiment is illustrated in Figure 1. The solar cell laminate 10 includes, in order from the light-receiving surface side, a layer (B) 1 containing a cyclic olefin resin (B1), a transparent electrode 2, an electron transport layer 3, a layer (A) 4 containing a perovskite compound, a hole transport layer 5, and a back electrode 6. Furthermore, in the solar cell laminate 10, layer (A) 4 containing the perovskite compound can function as a photoelectric conversion layer. In addition, in the solar cell laminate 10, layer (B)1 containing the cyclic olefin resin (B1) can function as a protective layer that protects layer (A)4 containing the perovskite compound from water vapor and the like.
[0017] Solar cells are exposed to harsh outdoor environments for extended periods, but perovskite compounds are susceptible to degradation from water vapor. Therefore, water vapor barrier properties are required for perovskite solar cells. Furthermore, because perovskite solar cells can be manufactured by coating or printing, they can be made thinner, opening up possibilities for applications not possible with conventional solar cells, such as attachment to curved surfaces. For this reason, flexibility against bending is also required for perovskite solar cells. In short, perovskite solar cells must possess both water vapor barrier properties and flexibility. However, there was room for improvement in achieving both water vapor barrier properties and flexibility in perovskite solar cells. The inventors of this invention have conducted thorough research in this regard and have found that by using a cyclic olefin resin that satisfies specific requirements, the balance between water vapor barrier properties and flexibility can be improved.
[0018] (1) Layer containing a perovskite compound (A) The layer (A) containing the perovskite compound will be described below.
[0019] Layer (A) can function, for example, as a photoelectric conversion layer.
[0020] The thickness of layer (A) is preferably 5 nm or more, more preferably 10 nm or more, even more preferably 20 nm or more, even more preferably 50 nm or more, even more preferably 100 nm or more, and even more preferably 200 nm or more. This allows for sufficient light absorption and improves photoelectric conversion efficiency. The thickness of layer (A) is preferably 100,000 nm or less, more preferably 10,000 nm or less, even more preferably 5,000 nm or less, even more preferably 2,000 nm or less, even more preferably 1,000 nm or less, and even more preferably 500 nm or less. This suppresses the occurrence of regions where charge separation is not possible, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency. The thickness of layer (A) is preferably 5 nm to 100,000 nm, more preferably 10 nm to 10,000 nm, even more preferably 20 nm to 5,000 nm, even more preferably 50 nm to 2,000 nm, even more preferably 100 nm to 1,000 nm, and even more preferably 200 nm to 500 nm. This allows for sufficient light absorption, suppresses the occurrence of regions where charge separation is not possible, and improves photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0021] The perovskite compounds of this embodiment include, for example, compounds represented by the general formula RM-X3 (wherein R represents an organic molecule, M represents a metal atom, and X represents a halogen atom or chalcogen atom).
[0022] In the general formula RM-X3, R is preferably C l N m H n This shows that (l, m, and n are all positive integers). In the general formula RM-X3, R is, for example, methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine, pentylamine, hexylamine, dimethylamine, diethylamine, dipropylamine, dibutylamine, dipentylamine, dihexylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, tributylamine, tripentylamine, trihexylamine, ethylmethylamine, methylpropylamine, butylmethylamine, methylpentylamine, hexylmethylamine, ethylpropylamine, ethylbutylamine, imidazole, azole, pyrrole, aziridine, azirine, azetidine, azeto, imidazoline, carbazole, methylcarboxyamine, ethylcarboxyamine, propylcarboxyamine The material represents methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, propylcarboxyamine, formamidinium, guanidine, aniline, or pyridine; ions of these compounds; or phenethylammonium, preferably methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, propylcarboxyamine, butylcarboxyamine, pentylcarboxyamine, formamidinium, or guanidine; or ions of these compounds, more preferably methylamine, ethylamine, pentylcarboxyamine, formamidinium, or guanidine; or ions of these compounds, and even more preferably methylamine or formamidinium; or ions of these compounds, from the viewpoint of improving photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0023] In the general formula RM-X3, M represents, for example, lead, tin, zinc, titanium, antimony, bismuth, nickel, iron, cobalt, silver, copper, gallium, germanium, magnesium, calcium, indium, aluminum, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, or europium, and from the viewpoint of electron orbital overlap, lead or tin is preferred, and lead is more preferred. These metal atoms may be used individually or in combination of two or more.
[0024] In the general formula RM-X3, X preferably represents a halogen atom from the viewpoint of improving solubility in organic solvents, and preferably represents an iodine atom from the viewpoint of narrowing the energy band gap of the perovskite compound of this embodiment. These halogen atoms or chalcogen atoms may be used alone, or two or more may be used in combination.
[0025] From the viewpoint of improving photoelectric conversion efficiency, the perovskite compound of this embodiment preferably includes a cubic crystal structure in which a metal atom M is arranged at the body center, organic molecules R are arranged at each vertex, and halogen atoms or chalcogen atoms X are arranged at the face centers.
[0026] The perovskite compound of this embodiment preferably contains a crystalline semiconductor, from the viewpoint of improving photoelectric conversion efficiency and suppressing the decrease in photoelectric conversion efficiency (photodegradation) due to continued light irradiation of the solar cell. In this embodiment, a crystalline semiconductor means a semiconductor from which a scattering peak can be detected when the X-ray scattering intensity distribution is measured.
[0027] Crystallinity can be used as an indicator of the crystallization of the perovskite compound in this embodiment. Crystallinity can be determined by separating the scattering peaks originating from the crystalline portion and the halos originating from the amorphous portion, detected by X-ray scattering intensity distribution measurement, by fitting them together, calculating the integral of each intensity, and then calculating the ratio of the crystalline portion to the whole. The crystallinity of the perovskite compound in this embodiment is preferably 30% or higher, more preferably 50% or higher, and even more preferably 70% or higher. This increases the electron mobility in the perovskite compound of this embodiment, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency. Furthermore, this suppresses photodegradation. Methods for increasing the crystallinity of the perovskite compound in this embodiment include, for example, thermal annealing (heat treatment), irradiation with high-intensity light such as a laser, and plasma irradiation.
[0028] Furthermore, crystallite size can also be evaluated as another indicator of crystallization. Crystallite size can be calculated using the Halder-Wagner method from the full width at half maximum of the scattering peaks originating from the crystalline material, as detected by X-ray scattering intensity distribution measurement. The crystallite size of the perovskite compound in this embodiment is preferably 5 nm or larger, more preferably 10 nm or larger, and even more preferably 20 nm or larger. This increases the electron mobility in the perovskite compound of this embodiment, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency. Furthermore, this suppresses photodegradation.
[0029] Layer (A) may contain an organic semiconductor or an inorganic semiconductor, etc., as long as it does not impair the effects of the present invention.
[0030] The organic semiconductor of this embodiment includes, for example, one or more selected from the group consisting of compounds having a thiophene skeleton such as poly(3-alkylthiophene); conductive polymers having a poly(p-phenylenevinylene) skeleton, polyvinylcarbazole skeleton, polyaniline skeleton and polyacetylene skeleton and the like; compounds having a porphyrin skeleton such as a phthalocyanine skeleton, naphthalocyanine skeleton, pentacene skeleton and benzoporphyrin skeleton; compounds having a spirobifluorene skeleton and the like; and carbon-containing materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene and fullerene, which may be surface-modified.

[0032] Layer (A) may be a laminate formed by stacking a thin film organic semiconductor or inorganic semiconductor portion and a thin film perovskite compound portion, or it may be a composite film formed by combining an organic semiconductor or inorganic semiconductor portion and a thin film perovskite compound portion. A laminate is preferred in terms of ease of manufacture, while a composite film is preferred in terms of being able to improve the charge separation efficiency in the organic semiconductor or inorganic semiconductor of this embodiment.
[0033] The thickness of the thin film-like perovskite compound portion in this embodiment is preferably 5 nm or more, more preferably 10 nm or more, and even more preferably 20 nm or more. This allows for sufficient light absorption and improves photoelectric conversion efficiency. The thickness of the thin film-like perovskite compound portion in this embodiment is preferably 5,000 nm or less, more preferably 1,000 nm or less, and even more preferably 500 nm or less. This suppresses the occurrence of regions where charge separation is not possible, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0034] The thickness of the composite film in this embodiment is preferably 30 nm or more, more preferably 40 nm, and even more preferably 50 nm or more. This allows for sufficient light absorption and improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency. The thickness of the composite film in this embodiment is preferably 3,000 nm or less, more preferably 2,000 nm or less, and even more preferably 1,000 nm or less. This makes it easier for the charge to reach the electrodes, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[Examples]
[0139] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0143] (polymerization) In a stirred polymerizer, the organoaluminum compound catalyst solution prepared by the above method is used as a catalyst to polymerize ethylene and tetracyclo[4.4.0.1 2,5 .1 7,10 ]-3-dodecene (hereinafter sometimes referred to as TD) was copolymerized to obtain a copolymer solution. Ethylene was supplied into the polymerizer along with hydrogen gas. The amount of each repeating unit was adjusted to the amounts shown in Table 1 by adjusting the supply amounts of ethylene, TD, and hydrogen.
[0144] (Decalcification) Water and an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution were added to the obtained copolymer solution to stop the polymerization reaction and remove catalyst residue from the copolymer solution (decalcification). Pentaerythrityl-tetrakis[3-(3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate] was added to the decalcified solution as a stabilizer and mixed in a stirring tank for 1 hour.
[0145] (Solvent removal) The solution, mixed with a stabilizer, was heated to 180°C to remove the solvent and unreacted monomers, thereby obtaining a molten resin (a random copolymer of ethylene and TD).
[0146] (Press forming) The obtained resin was press-molded into a 50 μm thick sheet (temperature: 260°C, pressure: 10 MPa), and these were designated as resins A to C.
[0147] (Formation of layer (A)) CH3NH3I and PbCl2 were dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) in a molar ratio of 3:1 to prepare the perovskite layer formation solution. The total weight concentration of CH3NH3I and PbCl2 in the perovskite layer formation solution was adjusted to 20%. Next, layer (A) was formed on the surface of resins A to C by applying the perovskite layer-forming solution obtained by the above method using a spin-coating method, and this was designated as laminates A to C.
[0148] <Example 4> The raw materials used in the resin synthesis were as follows: Transition metal compound (1) (Synthesized by the method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2004-331965.)
[0149] [ka]
[0150] Modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO, manufactured by Tosoh Finechem Co., Ltd.) Toluene (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.: Wako Special Grade) 5-Vinyl-2-norbornene (hereinafter referred to as VNB) (manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) Tetracyclo[4.4.0.1 2,5 .1 7,10 ]-3-Dodecene (hereinafter referred to as TD) (manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.) Methanol (manufactured by Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries: Wako Special Grade)
[0151] The procedure for resin synthesis was as follows: In a 1 L stainless steel autoclave that had been thoroughly purged with nitrogen, a hexane solution of 450 mL of toluene, 30 mL of VNB, 16 mL of TD, and MMAO (0.9 mmol in Al equivalent) and 360 mL of hydrogen were added. Then, ethylene was introduced into the system until the total pressure reached 0.6 MPa. Next, a toluene solution of 0.028 mmol of transition metal compound (1) was added, and polymerization was carried out at 35°C for 180 minutes. Next, polymerization was stopped by injecting 1 mL of methanol under pressure. Then, deionized water was added and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour, and the organic layer was filtered through filter paper. This organic layer was then added to acetone to precipitate the resin, stirred, filtered through filter paper, and dried under reduced pressure at 80°C for 10 hours to obtain the resin (a random copolymer of ethylene, VNB, and TD).
[0152] The obtained resin was press-molded under the same conditions as in Examples 1-3, and this was designated as resin D. Next, a layer (A) was formed on the surface of resin D under the same conditions as in Examples 1-3, and this was designated as laminate D.
[0153] <Example 5> To 100 parts by mass of the resin obtained in Example 4, 0.6 parts by mass of the radical initiator DMDPB (2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutane, manufactured by Acros Organics) and 0.06 parts by mass of the antioxidant Irganox1010 (pentaerythritol = tetrakis[3-(3',5'-di-tert-butyl-4'-hydroxyphenyl)propionate, manufactured by BASF) were added, and the mixture was stirred until it was completely dissolved to obtain the composition. The obtained composition was coated onto a release-treated PET film and dried for 4 minutes in a forced-air dryer under a nitrogen stream at 150°C to obtain a laminated film. Then, another laminated film was obtained using the same procedure. The two resulting laminated films were stacked so that the coated surfaces of the composition were in contact with each other. Under a vacuum controlled to 20 kPa or less, the press pressure was increased to 3.5 MPa using a vacuum press, and the temperature was raised at a constant rate from room temperature (25°C) and held at 180°C for 60 minutes. The PET film was then peeled off to obtain the resin E precursor. Next, the resin E precursor was sandwiched between polyimide films, and under a vacuum controlled to less than 20 kPa using a vacuum press, the press pressure was increased to 3.5 MPa. The temperature was then raised at a constant rate from room temperature (25°C) and held at 220°C for 120 minutes. Subsequently, the polyimide films were peeled off to obtain resin E with a thickness of 50 μm. Next, a layer (A) was formed on the surface of resin E under the same conditions as in Examples 1 to 3, and this was designated as laminate E.
[0154] <Examples 6-8> 2-norbornene, tri-n-octylaluminum, and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxytoluene were supplied to a pressure polymerizer that had been substituted with a nitrogen atmosphere. Then, ethylene was supplied to the polymerizer along with hydrogen gas. The amount of each repeating unit was adjusted to the amounts shown in Table 1 by adjusting the ratio of the supplied amounts of 2-norbornene and ethylene. Next, it was diluted with toluene. Next, a toluene solution of the titanocene catalyst was added to the solution in the polymerizer. The titanocene catalyst used was the one shown in formula (2) below.
[0155] [ka]
[0156] Next, a toluene solution of the borate compound was added. Triphenylmethylium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate was used as the borate compound. The addition polymerization reaction was initiated by adding a titanocene catalyst and a borate compound. After the reaction, a small amount of 2-propanol was added to the reaction solution to stop the addition polymerization reaction. Hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction solution and stirred for 10 minutes, after which the organic layer was washed with deionized water. Washing with deionized water was repeated until the aqueous layer became neutral, and then the washed organic layer was collected. The collected organic layer was added dropwise to a large amount of acetone to precipitate the resulting resin. After collecting the precipitated resin by filtration, the resin was washed at least twice with methanol and acetone. The washed resin was dried under reduced pressure at 110°C for at least 16 hours to obtain a dried resin (random copolymer of ethylene and norbornene).
[0157] The obtained resins were press-molded under the same conditions as in Examples 1-3, and these were designated as resins F-H. Next, a layer (A) was formed on the surface of resins F-H under the same conditions as in Examples 1-3, and these were designated as laminates F-H.
[0158] <Example 9> In a polymerization reactor whose interior was purged with nitrogen, 7 parts by mass of monomer mixture (tetracyclododecene 40 mol%, dicyclopentadiene 40 mol%, indene norbornene 20 mol%), 1600 parts by mass of anhydrous cyclohexane, 0.6 parts by mass of 1-hexene, 1.3 parts by mass of diisopropyl ether, 0.33 parts by mass of isobutyl alcohol, 0.84 parts by mass of triisobutylaluminum, and 30 parts by mass of a cyclohexane solution of tungsten hexachloride (concentration: 0.66%) were added, and the entire volume was stirred at 55°C for 10 minutes. Next, while continuing to stir, 693 parts by mass of the monomer mixture and 72 parts by mass of a cyclohexane solution of tungsten hexachloride (concentration: 0.77%) were added dropwise at 55°C, each over a period of 150 minutes. After the addition was complete, stirring was continued for another 30 minutes, and then 1.0 part by mass of isopropyl alcohol was added to stop the polymerization reaction. When the polymerization reaction solution was measured by gas chromatography, the conversion rate of the monomers to polymers was 100%. Next, 300 parts by mass of the polymerization reaction solution containing the above polymer was transferred to an autoclave equipped with a stirrer, and 100 parts by mass of cyclohexane and 2.0 parts by mass of diatomaceous earth-supported nickel catalyst (nickel load 58%) were added. After purging the autoclave with hydrogen, the hydrogenation reaction was carried out at 180°C and under a hydrogen pressure of 4.5 MPa for 6 hours. After the hydrogenation reaction was complete, the solution was filtered under pressure at 0.25 MPa using a pressure filter with diatomaceous earth as the filter bed to obtain a colorless, transparent solution. The solution was then added to a beaker containing three times the amount of acetone under stirring to precipitate the resin (a hydride of a ring-opening copolymer of tetracyclododecene, dicyclopentadiene, and indene norbornene).
[0159] The obtained resin was press-molded under the same conditions as in Examples 1-3, and this was designated as resin I. Next, a layer (A) was formed on the surface of resin I under the same conditions as in Examples 1-3, and this was designated as laminate I.
[0160] <Comparative Example 1> PET (polyethylene terephthalate) resin sheet (thickness: 50 μm, water vapor transmission coefficient: 1.4 g·mm / m²) 2 A layer (A) was formed on the surface of the material (24h) under the same conditions as in Examples 1-3 to obtain a laminate.
[0161] [Water vapor transmission coefficient] In accordance with JIS K 7129:2008, the water vapor transmission coefficients of laminates A to I were measured using a MOCON PERMATRAN-W3 at a measurement temperature of 40°C and a measurement humidity of 90%RH. In Comparative Example 1, the water vapor transmission coefficient of layer (A) as a single layer was calculated. Specifically, the water vapor transmission coefficient of a laminate formed by creating layer (A) on the surface of a PET resin sheet with a known water vapor transmission coefficient was measured, and the water vapor transmission coefficient of the PET resin sheet was subtracted from this value and multiplied by the thickness of layer (A) to calculate the water vapor transmission coefficient of layer (A) as a single layer. In other words, the water vapor transmission coefficient of layer (A) as a single layer was calculated using the following formula. Water vapor permeability coefficient of layer (A) as a single layer (unit: g·mm / m 2 (24 hours) = {Water vapor transmission rate of laminate (unit: g / m³) 2 (24h) - Calculated water vapor transmission rate of PET resin sheet (unit: g / m²) 2 / 24h)} × Thickness of layer (A) (unit: mm) The results are shown in Table 1.
[0162] [Flexibility] Laminates A through I were folded at a 30-degree angle and evaluated according to the following criteria. In Comparative Example 1, the flexibility of layer (A) as a single layer was evaluated. Specifically, since layer (A) is made of inorganic material, it was given a rating of C because it could not follow the bending of layer (A) and cracks or fissures occurred. The results are shown in Table 1. A: No cracks or fissures, and easily follows the bending direction. B: There were no cracks or fissures, but it did not easily follow the bending direction. C: There were cracks or fissures.
