See also shown in Figure 1, the utility model preferred embodiment infrared light is converted to the generalized section that visible light and adjustment penetrate the solar cell of light.The solar cell 10 that visible light and adjustment penetrate light that infrared light is converted to of the utility model preferred embodiment comprises: transparency carrier 100, electrode 102, electrode 104, p type semiconductor layer 106, n type semiconductor layer 108, amorphous silicon intrinsic layer 110, infrared light conversion layer 112 and metal level 114.
The material of above-mentioned transparency carrier 100 for example is a glass.Above-mentioned electrode 102 is disposed on the transparency carrier 100.The material of this electrode 102 for example is a transparent conductive oxide.Above-mentioned transparent conductive oxide can be indium tin oxide (indium tin oxide, ITO), aluminum zinc oxide (Al dopedZnO, AZO), indium-zinc oxide (indium zinc oxide, IZO) or other transparent conductive materials.Above-mentioned electrode 104 is disposed between electrode 102 and the transparency carrier 100.The material of this electrode 104 for example is transparent conductive oxide (for example indium tin oxide, aluminum zinc oxide, indium-zinc oxide or other transparent conductive material).
Above-mentioned p type semiconductor layer 106 is disposed between electrode 102 and the electrode 104.The material of this p type semiconductor layer 106 for example is amorphous silicon or microcrystal silicon, and the material that is mixed in the p type semiconductor layer 106 for example is the group that is selected from IIIA family element in the periodic table of elements, and it can be boron (B), aluminium (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In) or thallium (Tl).
Above-mentioned n type semiconductor layer 108 is disposed between p type semiconductor layer 106 and the electrode 102.The material of n type semiconductor layer 108 is amorphous silicon or microcrystal silicon for example, and the material that is mixed in the n type semiconductor layer 108 for example is the group that is selected from VA family element in the periodic table of elements, and it can be phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb) or bismuth (Bi).
Above-mentioned amorphous silicon intrinsic layer 110 is disposed between p type semiconductor layer 106 and the n type semiconductor layer 108.Amorphous silicon intrinsic layer 110 produces electronics-right main region in electric hole as light.
Above-mentioned infrared light conversion layer 112 is disposed between n type semiconductor layer 108 and the electrode 102, in order to infrared light is converted to visible light.The material of infrared light conversion layer 112 for example is rare earth element, for example lanthanide series.In detail, for general solar cell, when solar irradiation is incident upon solar cell, owing to be that the intrinsic layer of material can't absorb the infrared light (it accounts for 50% in sunlight) in the sunlight with the amorphous silicon, therefore infrared light can directly pass solar cell and can't be utilized, and makes the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cell to promote significantly.Yet, in the present embodiment, when sunlight 116 passed transparency carrier 100 and exposes to infrared light conversion layer 112, infrared light conversion layer 112 can be by the visible light that solar cell utilized with being converted to by the infrared light that solar cell utilized in the sunlight 116.
In addition, above-mentioned metal level 114 is disposed between infrared light conversion layer 112 and the electrode 102.The material of metal level 114 for example is aluminium or transition metal.When can't be converted to by infrared light conversion layer 112 by the infrared light that solar cell utilized in the sunlight 116 can be by the visible light that solar cell utilized after, can enter amorphous silicon intrinsic layer 110 via the reflection of metal level 114.Because amorphous silicon intrinsic layer 110 has preferable absorptivity for visible light, therefore be converted to visible light by infrared light conversion layer 112 and reflect when entering amorphous silicon intrinsic layer 110 when the infrared light in the sunlight 116 by metal level 114, compare with general solar cell, increase the amount of the visible light that exposes to amorphous silicon intrinsic layer 110, thereby promoted the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cell 10.
In addition, visible light with respect to other colors, because the intrinsic layer in the solar cell 10 is to be material with the amorphous silicon, and the amorphous silicon material has preferable absorptivity (having best absorptivity for green glow) for green glow and bluish-green mixed light, therefore can wait by kind, the proportion of composing of adjusting infrared light conversion layer 112 middle rare earth elements the infrared light in the sunlight 116 is converted to green glow or bluish-green mixed light, to promote the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cell 10 further.
The thickness of this metal level 114 is for example between between the 2nm to 25nm.Can adjust the transparency of metal level 114 via the thickness of adjusting metal level 114.When the thickness of metal level 114 was thin more, then the transparency of metal level 114 was high more, thereby becomes translucent metal level.When the thickness of metal level 114 was thick more, then the transparency of metal level 114 was low more, thereby becomes opaque metal level.Therefore, when metal level 114 was opaque metal level, the visible light that is converted to through infrared light conversion layer 112 can be reflexed to amorphous silicon intrinsic layer 110 by opaque metal level 114 fully and improve photoelectric conversion efficiency.Perhaps, when metal level 114 is translucent metal level, the visible light that is converted to through infrared light conversion layer 112 of a part can be reflexed to amorphous silicon intrinsic layer 110 by translucent metal level 114 and improve photoelectric conversion efficiency, and the visible light through infrared light conversion layer 112 converted to of another part then can pass translucent metal level 114 and be utilized further.
For instance, a part can mix with the visible light of other colors and produce the light of different colours through green glow that infrared light conversion layer 112 converted to or bluish-green mixed light.Therefore, if solar cell 10 is applied in the architectural design, then can looks actual demand and adjust and present the light that is different from white light.In addition, as if the agricultural or the industry of flowers and plants that solar cell 10 need to be applied to more green glow or bluish-green mixed light, the green glow or the bluish-green mixed light that then pass translucent metal level 114 can help crops and flowers to cultivate.In addition, also can control the light penetration of solar cell 10 by the transparency of adjusting metal level 114, to meet user's demand.
Special one carry be, in the present embodiment, owing to the infrared light in the sunlight 116 that exposes to solar cell 10 has been converted into visible light, the heat history effect that is produced when therefore infrared light exposes to solar cell can be reduced significantly, makes solar cell 10 still can maintain the temperature identical with context after sunlight 116 irradiations.In addition,, therefore can further avoid causing the problem of photoelectric conversion efficiency reduction, and then reach the purpose of the usefulness that promotes solar cell because of the heat history effect because the heat history effect is reduced significantly.
Though the utility model discloses as above with preferred embodiment, so be not in order to limit the scope that the utility model is implemented, the simple equivalent of doing according to claims of the present utility model and description changes and modification, still belongs in the scope of technical solutions of the utility model.
