Description

Laminated solar cell, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of photovoltaics, in particular to a laminated solar cell, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Solar energy is a clean energy source which is rich in resources and does not need to be transported, is hopeful to become an alternative energy source of traditional fossil fuel, and the development of solar energy collection and conversion technology has gradually become a research focus. Photovoltaic devices can directly convert solar energy into electrical energy, and are one of the most efficient ways to utilize solar energy. So far, the installed demand for photovoltaic devices worldwide is continuously increasing.
With the continuous development of photovoltaic technology, the efficiency of a single-cell silicon battery is about to reach the theoretical upper limit. In order to further improve the energy conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic cell, the concept of multi-junction cells is proposed, further breaking through the thermal relaxation losses of single cells. At present, a wide-bandgap perovskite battery is superimposed on a crystalline silicon battery, so that the energy conversion efficiency of 33.9% can be realized, the energy conversion efficiency is far higher than that of the existing single crystalline silicon battery (26.81%), and the excellent performance advantage of a multi-junction battery is shown. However, the material of the photoelectric conversion layer of the perovskite battery is an ionic crystal, is extremely sensitive to environmental stresses such as water vapor, high temperature, an electric field and the like, and has a decay rate far higher than that of a Shan Jiejing silicon battery in actual work, so that the technology also needs to be improved in stability and can be practically applied. In addition to perovskite-crystalline silicon laminated cells, two-junction, three-junction or more-junction laminated cells made of III-V semiconductors have been used for space applications to make breakthroughs, and the energy conversion efficiency is high, however, the extremely high cost of the technology limits the large-scale application of the laminated cells. Therefore, a multi-junction cell with high efficiency and environmental aging resistance is a necessary development path of future photovoltaic technology, and meanwhile, the technology also needs to meet the precondition that the cost cannot be excessively high for mass production, but the related technology has not been reported yet.
