[0058] Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a solar cell 10. The solar cell 10 comprises a functional layer 102. The functional layer 102 comprises a first electrode layer 1021, a perovskite layer 1022 and a second electrode layer 1023 which are sequentially stacked. The functional layer 102 is provided with a first scribe groove 1024 which penetrates the second electrode layer 1023 to separate the second electrode layer 1023 into a plurality of second electrode sub-layers, and the functional layer 102 is divided into a plurality of functional sub-layers 1025 by the first scribe groove 1024. The functional sub-layer 1025 is provided with a second scribe groove 1026 which penetrates the perovskite layer 1022 and separates the perovskite layer 1022 in the functional sub-layer 1025 into an effective area 10251 and an ineffective area 10252. The functional sub-layer 1025 is further provided with a conductive enhancement layer 10253 which is located on at least one side of the second electrode sub-layer. The conductive enhancement layer 10253 comprises a plurality of first metal grid lines 10254 which are spaced apart and located in the effective area 10251.
[0059] It can be understood that, for the purpose of more clearly illustrating, the functional sub-layer 1025 is marked with a dashed box in FIG. 1.
[0060] It can be understood that the effective area 10251 comprises an effective power generation area, and the ineffective area 10252 belongs to a part of a dead area.
[0061] In the solar cell 10 of the embodiment, the conductive enhancement layer 10253 comprising a plurality of first metal grid lines 10254 which are spaced apart can improve the conductivity of the cell, promote the transmission of charges in the cell, and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 10.
[0062] Further, the conductive enhancement layer 10253 comprises a plurality of first metal grid lines 10254 which are spaced apart, so that the sunlight can pass between adjacent first metal grid lines 10254, thereby improving the transmittance of sunlight. When the solar cell 10 is assembled into a stacked cell, more sunlight can pass through the solar cell. Further, the lower cell of the perovskite cell can receive more sunlight to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the stacked cell.
[0063] In some embodiments, the groove bottom and groove wall of the second scribe groove 1026 are covered with the second electrode sub-layer.
[0064] It can be understood that the solar cell 10 further comprises a substrate 101. Optionally, the substrate 101 comprises a transparent substrate.
[0065] In some embodiments, the first scribe groove 1024 also penetrates the perovskite layer 1022 to separate the perovskite layer 1022 into multiple perovskite sub-layers. The functional sub-layer 1025 includes a perovskite sub-layer and a second sub-electrode layer. In the functional sub-layer 1025, the second scribe groove 1026 penetrates the perovskite sub-layer. Further, in adjacent functional sub-layers 1025, the perovskite sub-layer of one active area 10251 and the perovskite sub-layer of another inactive area 10252 are both exposed from the edge of the first scribe groove 1024. Further, the edges of the one active area 10251 and the other inactive area 10252 respectively serve as the groove walls of the first scribe groove 1024.
[0066] In some embodiments, the active area 10251 and the inactive area 10252 are both provided with multiple first metal grid lines 10254 arranged at intervals.
[0067] It can be understood that the conductive enhancement layer 10253 is located on at least one side of the second electrode sub-layer, which means that the conductive enhancement layer 10253 is located on the surface of the second electrode sub-layer close to the perovskite sub-layer, or the conductive enhancement layer 10253 is located on the surface of the second electrode sub-layer away from the perovskite sub-layer, or both opposite surfaces of the second electrode sub-layer are provided with the conductive enhancement layer 10253 in the direction perpendicular to the thickness of the perovskite sub-layer.
[0068] It can be understood that in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the conductive enhancement layer 10253 is located on the surface of the second electrode sub-layer away from the perovskite sub-layer.
[0069] It can also be understood that in other embodiments, the conductive enhancement layer 10253 is located between the perovskite sub-layer and the second electrode sub-layer. In this way, the first metal grid lines 10254 of the conductive enhancement layer 10253 can be protected by the second electrode sub-layer, reducing the risk of the first metal grid lines 10254 being pulled by the softening encapsulation glue during the encapsulation process, and thus reducing the risk of misalignment and falling of the first metal grid lines 10254 in the solar cell 10.
[0070] It can also be understood that in other embodiments, the conductive enhancement layer 10253 is provided between the perovskite sub-layer and the second electrode sub-layer, and the surface of the second electrode sub-layer away from the perovskite sub-layer is also provided with the conductive enhancement layer 10253. In this way, the transmission rate of charges in the solar cell 10 can be further improved, and the performance of the solar cell 10 can be improved.
[0071] Further, the conductive enhancement layer 10253 is arranged between the perovskite sub-layer and the second electrode sub-layer, and the surface of the second electrode sub-layer away from the perovskite sub-layer is also provided with the conductive enhancement layer 10253, the projection of the first metal grid line 10254 on the perovskite sub-layer in the two conductive enhancement layers 10253 coincides, so as to reduce the shading of the first metal grid line 10254 to the sunlight, and the sunlight can pass through the solar cell 10 with a higher transmittance.
[0072] It can also be understood that the first metal grid line 10254 can be prepared by a patterned template transfer method. For example, in the preparation of the first metal grid line 10254, a patterned template can be used as a mask plate, and then the first metal grid line 10254 can be prepared by deposition.
[0073] Optionally, the first metal grid line 10254 includes one or more of a first copper grid line and a first silver grid line.
[0074] In some embodiments, the first metal grid line 10254 intersects the scribing direction of the second scribing groove 1026. In this way, the projection area of the first metal grid line 10254 on the perovskite sub-layer can be smaller, which is conducive to improving the transmittance of sunlight. Optionally, when the first metal grid line 10254 is perpendicular to the scribing direction of the second scribing groove 1026, the projection area of the first metal grid line 10254 on the perovskite sub-layer can be further reduced, and the transmittance of sunlight can be improved.
[0075] In some embodiments, a plurality of first metal grid lines 10254 are arranged in parallel. The parallel arrangement of the plurality of first metal grid lines 10254 can make the first metal grid line 10254 maintain a relatively regular structure, which is conducive to the design and processing of the first metal grid line 10254.
[0076] In some embodiments, the width of the first metal grid line 10254 is 0.001 millimeter (mm) to 10 mm. The width of the first metal grid line 10254 in this range can further reduce the projection area of the first metal grid line 10254 on the perovskite sub-layer on the basis of good conductive performance, so that the sunlight can pass through the solar cell 10 with a higher transmittance. Optionally, the width of the first metal grid line 10254 can be 0.001 mm, 0.01 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, and any value in the range formed by any two of the above values.
[0077] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first metal grid line 10254 is 50 nanometers (nm) to 200 nm. The thickness of the first metal grid line 10254 in this range can make the first metal grid line 10254 have a more appropriate resistance, promote the transmission of electric charges in the perovskite battery on the basis of making the first metal grid line 10254 have better strength. Alternatively, the thickness of the first metal grid line 10254 can be 50 nm, 60 nm, 70 nm, 80 nm, 90 nm, 100 nm, 110 nm, 120 nm, 130 nm, 140 nm, 150 nm, 160 nm, 170 nm, 180 nm, 190 nm, 200 nm, and any value in the range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0078] In some embodiments, the distance between adjacent first metal grid lines 10254 is 0.1 mm to 30 mm. The distance between adjacent first metal grid lines 10254 in this range can further reduce the projected area of the first metal grid line 10254 on the perovskite sub-layer on the basis of better electrical conductivity, so that sunlight can pass through the solar cell 10 with higher light transmittance. Alternatively, the distance between adjacent first metal grid lines 10254 can be 0.1 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm, 20 mm, 22 mm, 25 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm, and any value in the range consisting of any two of the above values.
[0079] In some embodiments, the conductive enhancement layer 10253 further comprises a plurality of second spaced metal grid lines 10255 and a plurality of third spaced metal grid lines (not shown in the figure), the plurality of second metal grid lines 10255 are located at the bottom of the second scribe groove 1026, the plurality of third metal grid lines are located at the wall of the second scribe groove 1026, and the plurality of second metal grid lines 10255 are connected to the plurality of first metal grid lines 10254 one by one through the plurality of third metal grid lines. The second metal grid lines 10255 and the third metal grid lines connected to the first metal grid lines 10254 facilitate the smooth transmission of electric charges. It can be understood that one-to-one connection means that each first metal grid line 10254 corresponds to a third metal grid line connected thereto. It can be understood that the second metal grid lines 10255 are located at the bottom of the second scribe groove 1026, which means that the second metal grid lines 10255 are located on the second electrode sublayer at the bottom of the second scribe groove 1026. Further, the second metal grid lines 10255 can be located on the surface of the second electrode sublayer away from the first electrode layer 1021, or on the surface of the second electrode sublayer close to the first electrode layer 1021, or on both the surface of the second electrode sublayer away from the first electrode layer 1021 and between the second electrode sublayer and the first electrode layer 1021. Optionally, the second metal grid lines 10255 comprise one or more of second copper grid lines and second silver grid lines. Further optionally, the number of first metal grid lines 10254, second metal grid lines 10255 and third metal grid lines are equal, and the first metal grid lines 10254, second metal grid lines 10255 and third metal grid lines are connected one by one respectively.
[0080] It can be understood that the second metal grid lines 10255 and the third grid lines can be prepared separately or simultaneously with the first metal grid lines 10254.
[0081] In some embodiments, the angle between the second metal grid lines 10255 and the scribe direction of the second scribe groove 1026 is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 90°.
[0082] Referring to FIG. 2, in some embodiments, the angle between the second metal grid lines 10255 and the scribe direction of the second scribe groove 1026 is 90°, i.e. the second metal grid lines 10255 are perpendicular to the scribe direction of the second scribe groove 1026. This facilitates the simultaneous preparation of the first metal grid lines 10254 and the second metal grid lines 10255. In order to clearly illustrate the second grid lines, the position of the second scribe groove 1026 is marked by a dashed line in FIG. 2. At this time, the angle a between the second metal grid lines 10255 and the scribe direction of the second scribe groove 1026 is 90°.
[0083] Referring to FIG. 3, in some embodiments, the included angle between the second metal grid line 10255 and the scribing direction of the second scribing groove 1026 is greater than 0° and less than 90°. In order to clearly show the second grid line, the position of the second scribing groove 1026 is marked by a dashed line in FIG. 3.
