技术领域
本发明涉及太阳能光伏产品领域, 尤其涉及一种薄膜太阳能电池板及其 制备方法。 3文
薄膜太阳能电池从发明到大规模商业化经历了一个漫长的发展过程。
1976年第一块非晶硅薄膜太阳能电池由美国无线电公司(Radio Corporation of America, 简称 RCA )研发成功, 进入了上世纪 90年代中期以后, 随着半导 体制备设备和制备工艺的不断进步, 高效叠层硅基薄膜太阳电池实现了大规 模商业化生产, 其光吸收材料由最初的非晶硅同质结构发展到由非晶硅、 多 晶硅和单晶硅组合而成的异质结结构。 除了硅基的薄膜太阳能电池, 近年来 基于硫化镉、 砷化镓、 铜铟镓锡等无机半导体化合物, 和基于聚噻喻、 富勒 烯衍生物等有机材料的薄膜太阳能电池也正在蓬勃发展之中, 并有着广阔的 应用前景。
与晶硅太阳能电池相比, 薄膜太阳能电池有外观漂亮、 生产自动化程度 高、 可弯曲、 可透明等多种优势, 因而除了大 并网和独立发电应用, 薄 膜太阳能电池更适宜于制作各种小型的灵活的光伏应用产品。 随着产业化进 程的推进和成本的不断下降, 薄膜太阳能电池产品的应用层出不穷, 日益广 泛, 并逐渐深入到人ίΠ日常生活的各个方面。 例如在用于汽车的太阳能电池 领域, 自从 20世纪 90年代以来都有持续不断的专利申请, 如公开号为 US5602457美国专利提供了一项技术, 将太阳能电池设置于汽车的挡风玻璃 之内, 用于给车内的蓄电^充电; 公开号为 ΕΡ 0393437的欧洲专利提供了另 一项技术, 为汽车安装了一套太阳能辅助电力系统, 用以驱动车内的空调系 统工作, 降 ^日光曝晒时车内的温度。 然而上述专利公开的技术均是利用传 统的制备晶硅电^的方法, 将玻璃衬底上的电池进行绝缘分割, 工艺较为复 杂, 与汽车本体的结合程度也不高。
薄膜太阳能电池的衬底可以根 4^具体需求选择玻璃、 聚合物、 陶瓷和石 墨中的任何一种, 其中玻璃为透明衬底, 透光性好, 可用于制造透明的薄膜 太阳能电^ , 而聚合物为柔性衬底, 容易弯曲和折叠, 一般用于制造可弯曲 的薄膜太阳能电池。 当薄膜太阳能电池作为光伏应用产品用于汽车或建筑一 体化结构等常见物体时, 一方面要求其具有良好的透光性以保证车厢内或室 内的照明亮度, 另一方面又要求其有良好的弯曲性能, 以便和弯曲的结构面 如汽车天窗和建筑物玻璃紧密贴合。 为满足这两方面的需求, 薄膜太阳能电 池的衬底必须是既透明又可弯曲的。
聚合物衬底大都不同时具有透光性和耐高温性, 即无法经受 200。C以上 的工艺温度, 而现有的薄膜太阳能电池技术选用的玻璃衬底的厚度一般大于 3mm, 不具有可弯曲性, 无法直接用于加工制作可弯曲的太阳能电也。 另夕卜, 现有的薄膜太阳能电池制造设备和工艺绝大多数都是建立在平面衬底上的, 如平板浮法玻璃等, 这使得直接制造具有一定弯曲弧度的薄膜太阳能电池存 在很大的困难。 如果要通过在弯曲衬底上进行均勾镀膜来加工制造薄膜太阳 能电池, 则需要对镀膜设备和工艺做较大的改动, 这不仅会使成本大幅度提 高, 而且由于不同弯曲结构面具有不同的形状和弯曲弧度, 导致所述设备和 工艺对不同产品的适应程度也有很大的局限性。 基于上述原因, 薄膜太阳能 电池在可弯曲产品领域的应用一直没有得到 ^艮好的发展。

以下将结合附图所示的具体实施方式对本发明进行详细描述, 但这些实 施方式并不限制本发明, 本领域的普通技术人员根椐这些实施方式所做出的 结构、 方法、 或功能上的变换均包含在本发明的保护范围内。
图 1为本发明所提供的薄膜太阳能电池板的优选的实施例的示意图。 参 照图 1 , 所述薄膜太阳能电池板包括衬底 10、 位于衬底上的第一电极 20、 位 于所述第一电极上的光电转换层 30、 位于所述光电转换层 30上的第二电极 40, 还包括所述第二电极上的栅电极 50。 所述衬底 10为超薄玻璃衬底, 所述 超薄玻璃衬底的厚度为 0.1 1mm,所述超薄玻璃衬底具有可弯曲性,其最小弯 曲半径可达 10cm以下。 所述第一电极 20在其中形成过 中连续设置在所述 村底 10上。如图 1所示的本发明优选的实施例, 光电转换层 30包括非晶硅 p 型层 31L 非晶硅本征层 32和非晶硅 η型层 33 , 第一电极 20和第二电极 40 均由氧化锌材料制成。
所述衬底 10选用美国康宁公司 ( Coming Incorporated ) 的多款超薄玻璃 产品, 如莲花玻璃 (Lotus Glass ) , 柳条玻璃 ( Wiiiow Gkss ) , 和猩猩玻璃 ( Gorilla Glass )。 图 2给出了超薄玻璃的光透射率和光波长的关系。 参照图 2, 三种厚度分别为 0,()5mm, 0, 1mm和().2mm的超薄玻璃的光透射率随光波 长的变化关系是相同的, 在光波长为 200nm到 350nm的波段内, 透射率随着 波长的增大而迅速增大; 当光波长大于 350nm的可见光波段时, 透射率的增 大变慢, 并逐渐饱和为一个大于 90%的常数。 但在上述 200- 350nm的光波段 内, 对于特定的波长, 所述超薄玻璃的厚度越小其透射率越大。 在现有的薄 膜太阳能电池技术中, 一般选用厚度为 3.2mm的玻璃做衬底, 由上述结论可 知, 其对短波长光的透射率远小于超薄玻璃, 导致薄膜电池的透光性较差。 因此选用超薄玻璃做衬底具有增加光透射率的效果。 另外, 选用越薄的玻璃 做衬底, 所述光电转换层对短波段光的吸收率也越高, 从而可以使薄膜太阳 能电池的效率提高 1 2%。
图 3显示了两种厚度的超薄玻璃的弯曲应力与其弯曲半径的关系。 参照 图 3 , 厚度为 0。2mm的超薄玻璃其对应于任何弯曲半径的弯曲应力均大于厚 度为(),lmm的超薄玻璃。 因此玻璃的厚度越小, 对应于同一弯曲半径其弯曲 应力就越小, 当对其做弯曲加工时就越容易, 也越不容易发生破裂。 对应于 0, 1mm的超薄玻璃,在弯曲半径为 10- 30cm的较大范围内,弯曲应力趋近于 0, 只有当弯曲半径小于 l()cm, 接近 5cm时, 弯曲应力才有了显著上升。 将最小 弯曲半径定义为在一定加工条件下, 玻璃在达到一特定的阈值应力时的弯曲 半径, 则最小半径越小, 玻璃的可弯曲性越好。 如果用最小弯曲半径来表征 超薄玻璃弯曲性的优良程度, 由图 3可知, 所述 OJmm的超薄玻璃具有最优 的弯曲性能, 其最小弯曲半径可达 10cm以下。
因此选用超薄玻璃做衬底 10的另一功效是可以方便的将平面的薄膜太阳 能电池板加工成具有一定弧度的弯曲电池组件, 而厚度较小的超薄玻璃可弯 曲性好, 从而可以制成弯曲半径较小的太阳能组件。 具体选用何种厚度的超 薄玻璃, 取决于最终的弯曲电池组件的曲率, 曲率越大, 则应选用最小弯曲 半径更小的超薄玻璃做衬底。
但是在实际应用中, 选用的超薄玻璃厚度越小, 其强度也越小, 很容易 在外界压力或雨水冲刷下发生破损。 同时在制造过程中也容易破碎, 降低生 产良率, 增加成本。 因此, 在满足实际弯曲度需求的前提下, 应尽可能选择 更厚的玻璃做衬底, 以增强所述衬底 10的强度。 在一般的光伏产品应用中, 如船舶和建筑的弯曲表面,其弯曲半径最小为 30em,对于汽车天窗则大于 lm。
一般的, 超薄玻璃弯曲时表面的弯曲张应力与其厚度的关系为:
2R,
其中 σ为最大表面弯曲张应力, 为超薄玻璃的厚度, ?为弯曲半径, £为 玻璃的杨氏模量。 图 4给出了更多种厚度的超薄玻璃的弯曲应力和弯曲半径 的关系。 参照图 4, 厚度在 1mm以下的超薄玻璃的可弯曲性都非常好。 在弯 曲半径为 30cm时, 厚度为 0.5mm的超薄玻璃的最大表面弯曲张应力约为 60M:Pa, 厚度为(),3mm的超薄玻璃的约为 30MPa。 若选用 0.35mm的超薄玻 璃, 根据上述公式, 代入玻璃的杨氏模量 90GPa, 可知其最大表面弯曲张应 力为 52.5MPa。 虽然玻璃的本征强度约达 200MPa, 但在实际应用中要求超薄 玻璃的最大表面弯曲张应力在 50M:Pa附近, 以防止因表面缺陷造成的破碎。 因此, 厚度为 0.35mm的超薄玻璃可以满足这种要求。
在本发明优选的实施例中 , 所述超薄玻璃衬底的弯曲半径大于 30cm, 因 此所述.超薄 ί皮璃衬底的厚度为 0,35- lmm。 在对衬底的强度有特殊要求时, 还 可以选用康宁公司的猩猩玻璃等经过化学钢化处理的超薄玻璃做衬底
相对于聚合物衬底, 所述超薄玻璃衬底还具有耐高温, 隔绝环境侵蚀性 能好的优点。
第一电极 20连续设置在衬底 10上, 相对于传统的在村底上用绝缘物质 分割出多个电池块而言, 工艺简单, 在应用于弯曲组件时, 能够与弯曲结构 紧密结合为一体, 较为美观。
第一电极 20与第二电极 40的透光性相等, 且均为全透明薄膜。 全透性 薄膜使得更多的阳光能透过汽车天窗或建筑物玻璃, 有助于提高车厢内或室 内的照明亮度。
在本发明的其他实施例中, 位于衬底 10之上的第一电极 20为全透明薄 膜, 位于光电转换层之上的第二电极 40为非全透明薄膜。 使用非全透明薄膜 做第二电极 40有助于将透过光电转换层的光反射回光电转换层中, 提高了光 吸收率 , 进而提高了电池效率。
第一电极 20与第二电极 40的材料均为透明导电氧化物, 如图 1所示的 本发明的一种优选的实施例中, 第一电极 2()与第二电极 40均为氧化锌薄膜, 在本发明的其他优选的实施例中, 所述第一、 第二电极还包括氧化锌, 氧化锡 或石墨烯中的一种。
光电转换层 3()包括非晶硅、 微晶硅、 多晶硅和单晶硅薄膜中的一种或多 种, 所述非晶硅、 微晶硅、 多晶硅或单晶硅薄膜形成包含一个 p- 11或 p-i-n结 的单结结构, 或包 -合多个 p n或 p i- n结的多结结构。
在本发明其他优选的实施例中, 所述光电转换层包括蹄化镉薄膜、 铜铟 镓锡薄膜和有机半导体薄膜中的一种或多种。
所述薄膜太阳能电池板用于汽车、 船舶或各种建筑一体化结构中。
在本发明一类优选的实施例中, 所述薄膜太阳能电^板用于汽车天窗, 所述栅电极与汽车电源及其负载通过导线相连, 所述负载包括车厢内的风扇、 照明灯、 电子娱乐系统。所述衬底的弯曲半径大于 1m, 因而可以选用较厚的, 如厚度为 1mm的超薄玻璃做衬底。
图 5为本发明所公开的薄膜太阳能电池板用于汽车天窗时的一种优选的 实施方式的示意图, 参照图 5, 所述汽车天窗包括:所述薄膜太阳能电池板和 汽车天窗玻璃 300。所述薄膜太阳能电池板包括超薄玻璃衬底 100和位.于所述 超薄玻璃衬底上的薄膜电池组 200 , 所述薄膜电池组 200由所述第一电极、所 述光电转换层和所述第二电极构成。 所述光电转换层包括 P型层 31、 N型层 33, 在本发明的某些优选的实施方式中, 所述光电转换层还包括位于所述 P 型层 31、 N型层 33之间的 I型层 32。
所述汽车天窗玻璃 300具有朝向车内的下表面 320以及朝向车外的上表 面 310 , 所述薄膜太阳能电池板可以贴合在所述汽车天窗玻璃 300的上表面 310上, 也可以贴合在所述汽车天窗玻璃 300的下表面 320上。 参照图 5和图 1 , 当所述薄膜太阳能电池板贴合在所述汽车天窗玻璃 300的上表面 310时, 所述 P型层 31 紧邻所述第一电极 20设置。 当所述薄膜太阳能电池板贴合在 所述汽车天窗玻璃 300的下表面 320时, 所述 N型层 33紧邻所述第一电极 20设置。这样使得所述 P型层 31始终朝着太阳光的方向。 由于非晶硅薄膜中 电子的迁移率大于空穴的迁移率, 电子的寿命也大于空穴的寿命, P型层 31 中产生的电子能通过漂移和扩散运动穿过 I层从而被电极收集;但如果 n型层 33接受光照产生载流予, η型层 33中产生的空穴由于迁移率和寿命较小, 很 容易在穿过 I层的时候被复合而被损失掉。 因此所述 P型层 31始终朝着太阳 光的方向有利于提高载流子的收集率, 进而提高太阳能电池板的光能量转换 效率。
在本发明其他优选的实施方式中, 所述薄膜太阳能电池板用于船舶或建 筑一体化结构时, 所述衬底的弯曲半径大于 30cm。 如上所述, 此种情况下可 选用厚度大于 0.35mm的超薄玻璃作为衬底。
本发明还提供了一种薄膜太阳能电^的制备方法, 参照图 6, 其包含如下 步骤:
51. 提供一超薄玻璃衬底, 所述超薄玻璃衬底的厚度为 0.1 - lmm, 所 迷超薄玻璃衬底具有可弯曲性 , 其最小弯曲半径可达 10cm以下;
52。在所述超薄玻璃衬底上依次沉积第一电极、 光电转换层和第二电 极;
53, 对所述第一电极、 光电转换层和第二电极沉积完成后, 用激光分 别刻线,用以将所述太阳能电池分割成诸多较小的电;'也单元并形成并连接, 用以降低电阻损耗, 提高电池的能量转换效率;
54. 对所述电池结构做激光或化学刻蚀处理, 用以增加所述电池结构 的透光性;
55. 设置所述柵电极, 形成薄膜太阳能电池。
56. 对所述太阳能电池板迸.行弯曲处理。
现有技术制备薄膜太阳能电池的工艺方法都是将多个较小的电池单元拼 接起来, 这种工艺较为复杂, 制备效率较低, 而且最终形成的电池组件内分 离的电^片不形成连续结构, 影响产品的美观性。 而本发明所公开的制备方 法所述第一电极在形成过程中连续设置在所述衬底上, 同样所述光电转换层 在形成过程中连续设置在所述第一电极上, 所述第二电极在形成过程中连续 设置在所述光电转换层上。 本发明只是在.镀膜完成之后的步骤 S3中才用激光 刻线切割成较小的电池单元, 形成串联或并联, 无需填充任何绝缘物质, 因 而制作工艺更为简单, 提高了制备效率。 此外, 整块电池板薄膜层均匀连续, 呈一体化结构, 外表更为美观。
本发明所公开的薄膜太阳能电池板的制备方法将在平面的超薄玻璃衬底 上沉积过薄膜的太阳能电池板直接做弯曲处理, 形成牢固的具有一定弯曲弧 度的薄膜太阳能电池板, 由于在镀膜过程中超薄玻璃衬底仍处于平面形式, 工艺条件都不需要做任何改变, 避免了通常在制造弯曲电^组件时所遇到的 问题和额外成本的增加, 极大的增加了设备和制备工艺方法对各种弯曲电池 组件的普遍适用性。
在本发明优选的实施方式中, 所述弯曲处理采用层压工艺将沉积于所述 超薄玻璃衬底上的所述薄膜太阳能电^与具有一定刚性的弯曲结构相结合, 用以封装所述薄膜太阳能电池, 使其与周围环境相隔绝, 并形成可稳定工作 的弯曲太阳能电池板。 所述层压工艺在高压釜中进行, 或采用曲面真空层压 法进行层压。 所述层压工艺的材料选用 EVA、 PVB或离子键树脂。
在本发明其他优选的实施方式中, 所述弯曲处理采用粘结工艺, 将所述 薄膜太阳能电池板与具有一定刚性的弯曲结构相结合, 形成可稳定工作的弯 曲太阳能电池板。 所述粘结工艺选用杜邦公司生产的 "文泰科" (Vertak)粘结 剂。
所述具有一定刚性的弯曲结构包括已经成型的弯曲玻璃和经表面绝缘处 理后的金属结构件。 在本发明优选的实施方式中, 所述弯曲玻璃为汽车天窗 玻璃、 船用结构玻璃或建筑物玻璃, 所述经表面绝缘处理后的金属结构件包 括汽车车顶结构。 当所述弯曲玻璃为汽车天窗玻璃时, 所述薄膜太阳能电池 的所述栅电极与汽车电源及其负载通过导线相连, 所述负载包括车厢内的风 扇、 照明灯、 电子娱乐系统。
在本发明优选的实施方式中, 所述第一电极和第二电极的透光性相等, 且均为全透明薄膜。 这 4¾高了薄膜太阳能电池板的透光性。 在本发明的其他 实施方式中, 所述第一电极为全透明薄膜, 所述第二电极为非透明薄膜。 所 述非透明薄膜可以将透过光电转换层的光反.射回去, 提高了电池的光吸收率
所述第一电极与第二电极的材料均为透明导电氧化物, 所述透明导电氧 化物为氧化辞、 氧化锡、 氧化锢锡和石墨烯中的一种。
光电转换层包括非晶硅、 微晶硅、 多晶硅和单晶硅薄膜中的一种或多种, 如图 1所示的本发明的优选的实施例中, 光电转换层为由非晶硅 n型摻杂层、 本征层和 p型掺杂层构成的 p— i— n型结构。一般的,光电转换层包含由非晶硅、 微晶硅、 多晶硅或单晶硅薄膜形成的 p n或 p- i- n结单结结构, 或多个 p- n结 及 p i n结的多结结构。 在本发明的其他优选的实施例中, 所述光电转换层包 括蹄化镉薄膜、 铜铟镓镇薄膜和有机半导体薄膜中的一种或多种。 当用于制备所述第一、 第二电极或所述光电转换层的工艺方法的工艺温 度接近玻璃应变点 ( strain point )时, 超薄玻璃容易产生变形, 因而应该尽可 能使工艺温度远离玻璃应变点。 超薄玻璃的应变点的变化范围为 650- 700 °C, 其他超薄玻璃的应变点也在类似的范围内变动。 因此, 所述工艺方法的工艺 温度低于 600 以防止所述超薄玻璃衬底在沉积过程中发生变形。
一般的, 用于制备透明氧化物薄膜的 LPCVD方法的工艺温度为 180-2I0°C, MOCVD方法的工艺温度可低至 500。C, 而 APCVD方法的工艺 温度在 450。C 左右, 用于制备硅基光电转换层薄膜的 PECVD的工艺温度一 般在 30()。C以下, 以上工艺方法都满足工艺温度小于 6()0。C的要求。 因此, 所述第 - 、 第二电极用 LPCVD、 MOCVD或 APCVD工艺方法制备, 所述光 电转换层用 PECVD工艺方法制备。
虽然本发明已以较佳实施例披露如上, 但本发明并非限定于此。 任何本 领域技术人员, 在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内, 均可作各种更动与修改, 因此本发明的保护范围应当以权利要求所限定的范围为准。 对于本领域技术 人.员而言, 显然本.发明不限于上述示范性实施例的细节, 而且在不背离本发 明的精神或基本特征的情况下, 能够以其他的具体形式实现本发明。 因此, 无论从哪一点来看, 均应将实施例看作是示范性的, 而且是非限制性的, 本 发明的范围由所附权利要求而不是上述说明限定, 因此旨在将落在权利要求 的等同要件的含义和范围内的所有变化嚢括在本发明内。 不应将权利要求中 的任何附图标记视为限制所涉及的权利要求。
