Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of a solar cell and particularly relates to a novel up-converter and application of the novel up-converter in the solar cell. The converter is formed by up-conversion luminescence materials doped with rare earth ion, quantum dot materials and low-temperature curing materials, the quantum dot materials are semiconductor compounds with narrow band gaps, and the low-temperature curing materials are spin coating silicon oxide layers or silica gel.

Background technology
In solar photovoltaic technology, because the restriction of material energy gap, solar cell can only partially absorb sunlight.For example for crystal silicon battery, energy gap is about 1.12ev, and its long wave absorbs limit and is about 1100nm; And greater than the infrared light part of this wavelength; Account for 50% of whole solar spectrum energy, but battery can not absorb, and then limit the raising of efficiency of solar cell.Therefore, the spectral response range that how to improve the solar cell generating efficiency, reduces cost, widens solar cell becomes the focus of Recent study.
At present, solar spectrum is made full use of can be through following two approach: the one, absorb that low-energy infrared light sends high-octane visible light in the solar spectrum, and this process relates generally to the up-conversion luminescence process; The 2nd, high-octane ultraviolet light sends low-yield visible light in the absorption solar spectrum, and this process relates generally to the down-conversion luminescence process.In the up-conversion luminescence process, relate to up-conversion luminescent material.At present, up-conversion luminescent material has been obtained extensive use at aspects such as biological fluorescent labeling, solid state lasers, but it is used in the solar cell, has only less report at present.2005, people such as A.Shalav propose first will be by NaYF 4: Er 3+Up-conversion luminescent material is applied in the double-side solar cell, and has realized raising [A.Shalav, B.S.Richards and T.Truke, " the Application of NaYF of efficiency of solar cell 4: Er 3+Up-converting phosphors for enchanced near-infread silicon solar cell response ". Appl.Phy.Lett, 2005,86 (1): 013505).Up to now, all up-conversion luminescent materials are only limited to rare earth compound.Why rare earth has excellent luminescent properties, be that it has excellent power conversion function, and this is to be determined by its special electron structure.But rare earth ion is owing to receive the restriction and the influence of matrix environment on every side of self electron shell structure, and it can only have more weak absorption in a certain wavelength, and these characteristics cause lower quantum luminous efficiency.
In order further to improve efficiency of solar cell, reduce production costs, urgent need is developed near infrared spectrum zone wide band absorption and is launched strong visible light upconverter.
