现有的太阳能电池基本结构如图1,其包括依次层叠设置的第一载流 子传输层1、吸收层2和第二载流子传输层3,在所述第一载流子传输层1和第二载流子传输层3远离所述吸收层的表面一侧设置有电极4。第一载流子传输层1和第二载流子传输层3通常为半导体材料,电极4通常为金属材料。在半导体材料和金属材料接触时,通常会有较大的势垒或产生较多的缺陷,引起光生载流子的非辐射复合,导致电池转换效率的损失。另外,为了抑制吸收层2-第一载流子传输层1、吸收层2-第二载流子传输层3界面处的复合,通常会在两个界面处设置有钝化层,即图2所述的结构中的第一钝化层51和第二钝化层52。钝化层可以钝化界面处的缺陷,消除界面传输势垒,降低载流子非辐射复合几率。The basic structure of an existing solar cell is shown in FIG1 , which includes a first current carrier arranged in a stacked manner. The first carrier transport layer 1, the absorption layer 2 and the second carrier transport layer 3, and an electrode 4 is arranged on the surface side of the first carrier transport layer 1 and the second carrier transport layer 3 away from the absorption layer. The first carrier transport layer 1 and the second carrier transport layer 3 are usually made of semiconductor materials, and the electrode 4 is usually made of metal materials. When the semiconductor material and the metal material are in contact, there will usually be a large potential barrier or more defects, causing non-radiative recombination of photogenerated carriers, resulting in a loss of battery conversion efficiency. In addition, in order to inhibit the recombination at the interface of the absorption layer 2-first carrier transport layer 1 and the absorption layer 2-second carrier transport layer 3, a passivation layer is usually provided at the two interfaces, that is, the first passivation layer 51 and the second passivation layer 52 in the structure described in Figure 2. The passivation layer can passivate the defects at the interface, eliminate the interface transmission barrier, and reduce the probability of non-radiative recombination of carriers.
但是,加入钝化层后,当钝化层与载流子传输层直接接触时,由于钝化层的“高电阻率”或“绝缘”特性,载流子穿透钝化层主要靠“量子隧穿”效应,直接隧穿效率比较低。However, after adding the passivation layer, when the passivation layer is in direct contact with the carrier transport layer, due to the "high resistivity" or "insulation" characteristics of the passivation layer, the carriers penetrate the passivation layer mainly through the "quantum tunneling" effect, and the direct tunneling efficiency is relatively low.
针对现有技术存在的问题,本申请提供一种具有自发极化结构的太阳能电池,其包括层叠设置的吸收层和载流子传输层,在所述载流子传输层和所述电极之间设置有自发极化层。In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present application provides a solar cell with a spontaneous polarization structure, which includes an absorption layer and a carrier transport layer stacked together, and a spontaneous polarization layer is arranged between the carrier transport layer and the electrode.
一方面,本申请提供一种具有自发极化结构的太阳能电池。如图3的a、b,图5和图7所示,所述太阳能电池包括依次层叠设置的第一载流子传输层1、吸收层2和第二载流子传输层3,所述第一载流子传输层1和所述第二载流子传输层3的导电类型相反。On the one hand, the present application provides a solar cell with a spontaneous polarization structure. As shown in a, b of FIG. 3, FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, the solar cell includes a first carrier transport layer 1, an absorption layer 2 and a second carrier transport layer 3 stacked in sequence, and the first carrier transport layer 1 and the second carrier transport layer 3 have opposite conductivity types.
在所述第一载流子传输层1和所述第二载流子传输层3远离所述吸收层2的表面一侧设置有电极4。An electrode 4 is disposed on a surface of the first carrier transport layer 1 and the second carrier transport layer 3 away from the absorption layer 2 .
在所述第一载流子传输层1和所述电极4之间,和/或所述第二载流子传输层3和所述电极4之间设置有自发极化层8。即自发极化层8可以只设置在所述第一载流子传输层1和所述电极4之间,或只设置在所述第二载流子传输层3和所述电极4之间,也可以同时设置在所述第一载流子传输层1和所述电极4之间,以及所述第二载流子传输层3和所述电极4之间。所述第一载流子传输层1和所述电极4之间的自发极化层8,与所述第二载流子传输层3和所述电极4之间的自发极化层8的厚度、材料可以相同或不同。A spontaneous polarization layer 8 is provided between the first carrier transport layer 1 and the electrode 4, and/or between the second carrier transport layer 3 and the electrode 4. That is, the spontaneous polarization layer 8 can be provided only between the first carrier transport layer 1 and the electrode 4, or only between the second carrier transport layer 3 and the electrode 4, or can be provided simultaneously between the first carrier transport layer 1 and the electrode 4, and between the second carrier transport layer 3 and the electrode 4. The thickness and material of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 between the first carrier transport layer 1 and the electrode 4 can be the same as or different from those of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 between the second carrier transport layer 3 and the electrode 4.
如图3的a所示,自发极化层8可以完全覆盖所述第一载流子传输层 1和/或所述第二载流子传输层3。自发极化层8也可以部分覆盖所述第一载流子传输层1和/或所述第二载流子传输层3,也可以只是覆盖在所述第一载流子传输层1和/或所述第二载流子传输层3与所述电极4接触的区域,即如图3的b所示的情况。As shown in FIG. 3 a, the spontaneous polarization layer 8 can completely cover the first carrier transport layer 1 and/or the second carrier transport layer 3. The spontaneous polarization layer 8 may also partially cover the first carrier transport layer 1 and/or the second carrier transport layer 3, or may only cover the area where the first carrier transport layer 1 and/or the second carrier transport layer 3 are in contact with the electrode 4, as shown in b of FIG. 3 .
自发极化层8由自发极化材料组成。自发极化层8的材料,即自发极化材料具有如图4的a所示的特征,即在其晶格内,正负电荷中心不重合,从而在晶格内部产生一定的电偶极矩P;而且此电偶极矩P在外加电场的诱导下,可以发生偏转。(偶极矩为局域化的电场,仅存在电场,并没有自由移动的电荷,因此不会成为缺陷复合中心)The spontaneous polarization layer 8 is composed of a spontaneous polarization material. The material of the spontaneous polarization layer 8, i.e., the spontaneous polarization material, has the characteristics shown in a of FIG4 , i.e., in its lattice, the centers of positive and negative charges do not overlap, thereby generating a certain electric dipole moment P inside the lattice; and this electric dipole moment P can be deflected under the induction of an external electric field. (The dipole moment is a localized electric field, and there is only an electric field, and there is no free-moving charge, so it will not become a defect recombination center)
在自发极化材料组成的自发极化层中,不同区域的电偶极矩P的方向不同,通常处于随机分布状态,薄膜或者体材料整体上对外呈电中性,如图4的b所示。In the spontaneously polarized layer composed of spontaneously polarized materials, the directions of the electric dipole moments P in different regions are different and are usually randomly distributed. The film or bulk material as a whole is electrically neutral to the outside, as shown in FIG4 b.
当对自发极化层施加外电场E时,自发极化层内部的方向随机分布的电偶极矩P将发生定向排列,如图4的c所示;此过程成为材料的“极化”。当自发极化层被极化之后,定向排列的偶极矩将被保持,在其内部形成内建电场,且该内建电场可长期稳定存在。When an external electric field E is applied to the spontaneous polarization layer, the randomly distributed electric dipole moment P inside the spontaneous polarization layer will be oriented, as shown in Figure 4c; this process is called the "polarization" of the material. After the spontaneous polarization layer is polarized, the oriented dipole moment will be maintained, forming a built-in electric field inside it, and this built-in electric field can exist stably for a long time.
因此,在电池结构中引入具有内建电场的自发极化层8,通过合理设置极化方向,其内建电场将辅助电池内部的载流子传输,抑制反向复合,从而提高电池的转换效率。内建电场P为自发极化层本征属性,不与影响光生电压,可协助载流子翻越电极4和载流子传输层之间的势垒,减少效率损失,提高转换效率。进一步地,所述自发极化层8的材料选自无机铁电材料、有机铁电材料、电介质材料与铁电材料组成的复合材料中的一种或两种以上。其中,所述无机铁电材料选自钛酸钡、钛酸锶、氧化钛、锆钛酸铅、铌镁酸铅、钛酸铋钠、铁酸铋、锰酸铋中的一种或两种以上。所述有机铁电材料选自聚偏氟乙烯及其共聚物、共聚酰胺中的一种或两种。聚偏氟乙烯的共聚物例如可以为P(VDF-TrFE)、P(VDF-TrFE-CFE)。Therefore, a spontaneous polarization layer 8 with a built-in electric field is introduced into the battery structure. By reasonably setting the polarization direction, its built-in electric field will assist the carrier transport inside the battery and inhibit reverse recombination, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the battery. The built-in electric field P is an intrinsic property of the spontaneous polarization layer, does not affect the photovoltage, and can assist the carriers to cross the barrier between the electrode 4 and the carrier transport layer, reduce efficiency loss, and improve conversion efficiency. Further, the material of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 is selected from one or more of inorganic ferroelectric materials, organic ferroelectric materials, and composite materials composed of dielectric materials and ferroelectric materials. Among them, the inorganic ferroelectric material is selected from one or more of barium titanate, strontium titanate, titanium oxide, lead zirconate titanate, lead magnesium niobate, sodium bismuth titanate, bismuth ferrite, and bismuth manganate. The organic ferroelectric material is selected from one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride and its copolymers, and copolyamides. The copolymer of polyvinylidene fluoride can be, for example, P(VDF-TrFE) and P(VDF-TrFE-CFE).
由于自发极化材料带隙通常比较宽,是绝缘材料;载流子在自发极化层中的传输主要依靠隧穿机制,因此,为满足电子隧穿的要求,自发极化层8的厚度通常不能过厚。Since the spontaneous polarization material usually has a wide band gap and is an insulating material, the transmission of carriers in the spontaneous polarization layer mainly relies on the tunneling mechanism. Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of electron tunneling, the thickness of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 usually cannot be too thick.
在一个具体的实施方式中,所述自发极化层8的厚度小于等于10 nm,,例如可以为10nm、9nm、8nm、7nm、6nm、5nm、4nm、3nm、2nm、1nm、0.5nm等。In a specific embodiment, the thickness of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 is less than or equal to 10 nm, for example, it can be 10nm, 9nm, 8nm, 7nm, 6nm, 5nm, 4nm, 3nm, 2nm, 1nm, 0.5nm, etc.
自发极化材料的自发极化特征是由于晶格内部正负电荷中心位置不重合引起的,是材料晶体结构的自然属性,因此,要求自发极化层8为单晶层或者多晶层,而不是非晶层。The spontaneous polarization characteristic of the spontaneously polarized material is caused by the misalignment of the centers of positive and negative charges inside the lattice, which is a natural property of the material's crystal structure. Therefore, the spontaneously polarized layer 8 is required to be a single crystal layer or a polycrystalline layer, rather than an amorphous layer.
在太阳能电池工作过程中,自发极化层8的剩余极化强度Pr需要大于钝化层的表面电荷密度,这样自发极化层的极化方向才能够得以保持,不被钝化层的局域电场覆盖、削弱甚至翻转。During the operation of the solar cell, the residual polarization intensity Pr of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 needs to be greater than the surface charge density of the passivation layer, so that the polarization direction of the spontaneous polarization layer can be maintained and not be covered, weakened or even flipped by the local electric field of the passivation layer.
以PERC电池中Al2O3钝化层的表面电荷密度Qf为例,若要实现有效的场钝化,则要求:
Qf>6×1012cm-2=6×1012×1.6×10-19C/cm-2=0.96μC/cm-2
Taking the surface charge density Qf of the Al2O3 passivation layer in a PERC cell as an example, to achieve effective field passivation, it is required that:
Qf >6× 1012cm -2 =6×1012× 1.6 × 10-19C /cm -2 =0.96μC/cm -2
在一个具体的实施方式中,所述自发极化层8的剩余极化强度大于0.96μC/cm-2,例如可以为1μC/cm-2、2μC/cm-2、3μC/cm-2、4μC/cm-2、5μC/cm-2、6μC/cm-2、7μC/cm-2、8μC/cm-2、9μC/cm-2、10μC/cm-2、11μC/cm-2、12μC/cm-2、13μC/cm-2、14μC/cm-2、15μC/cm-2、16μC/cm-2、17μC/cm-2、18μC/cm-2、19μC/cm-2、20μC/cm-2、25μC/cm-2、30μC/cm-2、35μC/cm-2、40μC/cm-2、50μC/cm-2In a specific embodiment, the remanent polarization intensity of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 is greater than 0.96 μC/cm -2 , for example, it can be 1 μC/cm -2 , 2 μC/cm -2 , 3 μC/cm -2 , 4 μC/cm -2 , 5 μC/cm -2 , 6 μC/cm -2 , 7 μC/cm -2 , 8 μC/cm -2 , 9 μC/cm -2 , 10 μC/cm -2 , 11 μC/cm -2 , 12 μC/cm -2 , 13 μC/cm -2 , 14 μC/cm -2 , 15 μC/cm -2 , 16 μC/cm -2, 17 μC/cm -2 , 18 μC/cm -2 , 19 μC/cm -2 , 20 μC/cm -2 , 25 μC/cm -2 , 30 μC/cm -2 , 35 μC/cm -2 , 40μC/cm -2 , 50μC/cm -2 .
电子在自发极化层8中主要以隧穿机制传输,其传输行为可依照铁电隧道结中的电子传输行为。现有常见的铁电隧道结的结电阻率一般不超过106Ω·cm;目前单结太阳能电池的最大工作电流不超过50mA·cm-2,则在工作状态下,自发极化层上由于光伏电流产生的最大电场强度:
E=(50mA·cm-2)×(106Ω·cm)
=0.05×106A·Ω·cm-1
=5×104V·cm-1=50kV·cm-1
Electrons are mainly transported in the spontaneous polarization layer 8 by tunneling mechanism, and their transport behavior can be compared with the electron transport behavior in the ferroelectric tunnel junction. The junction resistivity of the common ferroelectric tunnel junction is generally not more than 10 6 Ω·cm; the maximum operating current of the single junction solar cell is not more than 50mA·cm -2 , then in the working state, the maximum electric field intensity generated by the photovoltaic current on the spontaneous polarization layer is:
E=(50mA·cm -2 )×(10 6 Ω·cm)
=0.05×10 6 A·Ω·cm -1

在一个具体的实施方式中,太阳能电池结构如图15所示。所述太阳能电池包括依次层叠设置的第一载流子传输层1、第一钝化层51、吸收层2、第二钝化层52和第二载流子传输层3。在所述第一载流子传输层1和所述第二载流子传输层3远离所述吸收层2的表面设置有电极4。在所述第二载流子传输层3和所述第二钝化层52之间设置有自发极化层8。In a specific embodiment, the solar cell structure is shown in FIG15. The solar cell includes a first carrier transport layer 1, a first passivation layer 51, an absorption layer 2, a second passivation layer 52, and a second carrier transport layer 3 which are stacked in sequence. An electrode 4 is provided on the surface of the first carrier transport layer 1 and the second carrier transport layer 3 away from the absorption layer 2. A spontaneous polarization layer 8 is provided between the second carrier transport layer 3 and the second passivation layer 52.
在一个具体的实施方式中,太阳能电池结构与图15所示的结构不同在于,在第一载流子传输层1和第一钝化层51之间也设置有自发极化层8。In a specific embodiment, the solar cell structure is different from the structure shown in FIG. 15 in that a spontaneous polarization layer 8 is also provided between the first carrier transport layer 1 and the first passivation layer 51 .
自发极化层8由自发极化材料组成。自发极化层8的材料,即自发极化材料具有如图11的a所示的特征,即在其晶格内,正负电荷中心不重合,从而在晶格内部产生一定的电偶极矩P;而且此电偶极矩P在外加电场的诱导下,可以发生偏转。(偶极矩为局域化的电场,仅存在电场,并没有自由移动的电荷,因此不会成为缺陷复合中心) The spontaneous polarization layer 8 is composed of a spontaneous polarization material. The material of the spontaneous polarization layer 8, i.e., the spontaneous polarization material, has the characteristics shown in a of FIG11 , i.e., in its lattice, the centers of positive and negative charges do not overlap, thereby generating a certain electric dipole moment P inside the lattice; and this electric dipole moment P can be deflected under the induction of an external electric field. (The dipole moment is a localized electric field, and there is only an electric field, and there is no freely moving charge, so it will not become a defect recombination center)
在自发极化材料组成的自发极化层中,不同区域的电偶极矩P的方向不同,通常处于随机分布状态,薄膜或者体材料整体上对外呈电中性,如图10的b所示。In the spontaneously polarized layer composed of spontaneously polarized materials, the directions of the electric dipole moments P in different regions are different and are usually randomly distributed. The film or bulk material as a whole is electrically neutral to the outside, as shown in FIG10 b.
当对自发极化层施加外电场E时,自发极化层内部的方向随机分布的电偶极矩P将发生定向排列,如图10的c所示;此过程成为材料的“极化”。当自发极化层被极化之后,定向排列的偶极矩将被保持,在其内部形成内建电场,且该内建电场可长期稳定存在。When an external electric field E is applied to the spontaneous polarization layer, the randomly distributed electric dipole moment P inside the spontaneous polarization layer will be oriented, as shown in c of Figure 10; this process is called the "polarization" of the material. After the spontaneous polarization layer is polarized, the oriented dipole moment will be maintained, forming a built-in electric field inside it, and the built-in electric field can exist stably for a long time.
因此,在电池结构中引入具有内建电场的自发极化层8,通过合理设置极化方向,其内建电场将辅助电池内部的载流子传输,抑制反向复合,从而提高电池的转换效率。内建电场P为自发极化层本征属性,不与影响光生电压,可协助载流子翻越钝化层引起的势垒,减小由于钝化层引起的效率损失。Therefore, a spontaneous polarization layer 8 with a built-in electric field is introduced into the battery structure. By reasonably setting the polarization direction, its built-in electric field will assist the carrier transmission inside the battery and inhibit reverse recombination, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the battery. The built-in electric field P is an intrinsic property of the spontaneous polarization layer and does not affect the photo-generated voltage. It can assist the carriers to cross the potential barrier caused by the passivation layer and reduce the efficiency loss caused by the passivation layer.
进一步地,所述自发极化层8的材料选自无机铁电材料、有机铁电材料、电介质材料与铁电材料组成的复合材料中的一种或两种以上。其中,所述无机铁电材料选自钛酸钡、钛酸锶、氧化钛、锆钛酸铅、铌镁酸铅、钛酸铋钠、铁酸铋、锰酸铋中的一种或两种以上。所述有机铁电材料选自聚偏氟乙烯及其共聚物、共聚酰胺中的一种或两种。聚偏氟乙烯的共聚物例如可以为P(VDF-TrFE)、P(VDF-TrFE-CFE)。Further, the material of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 is selected from one or more of inorganic ferroelectric materials, organic ferroelectric materials, and composite materials composed of dielectric materials and ferroelectric materials. Among them, the inorganic ferroelectric material is selected from one or more of barium titanate, strontium titanate, titanium oxide, lead zirconate titanate, lead magnesium niobate, sodium bismuth titanate, bismuth ferrite, and bismuth manganate. The organic ferroelectric material is selected from one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride and its copolymers, and copolyamides. The copolymer of polyvinylidene fluoride can be, for example, P(VDF-TrFE) and P(VDF-TrFE-CFE).
由于自发极化材料带隙通常比较宽,是绝缘材料;载流子在自发极化层中的传输主要依靠隧穿机制,因此,为满足电子隧穿的要求,自发极化层8的厚度通常不能过厚。Since the spontaneous polarization material usually has a wide band gap and is an insulating material, the transmission of carriers in the spontaneous polarization layer mainly relies on the tunneling mechanism. Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of electron tunneling, the thickness of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 usually cannot be too thick.
在一个具体的实施方式中,所述自发极化层8的厚度小于等于10nm,例如可以为10nm、9nm、8nm、7nm、6nm、5nm、4nm、3nm、2nm、1nm、0.5nm等。In a specific embodiment, the thickness of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 is less than or equal to 10 nm, for example, it can be 10 nm, 9 nm, 8 nm, 7 nm, 6 nm, 5 nm, 4 nm, 3 nm, 2 nm, 1 nm, 0.5 nm, etc.
自发极化材料的自发极化特征是由于晶格内部正负电荷中心位置不重合引起的,是材料晶体结构的自然属性,因此,要求自发极化层8为单晶层或者多晶层,即由单晶材料或多晶材料形成的层,而不是非晶层。The spontaneous polarization characteristic of the spontaneously polarized material is caused by the non-coincidence of the center positions of positive and negative charges inside the lattice, which is a natural property of the material's crystal structure. Therefore, the spontaneous polarization layer 8 is required to be a single crystal layer or a polycrystalline layer, that is, a layer formed by single crystal material or polycrystalline material, rather than an amorphous layer.
在太阳能电池工作过程中,自发极化层8的剩余极化强度Pr需要大于钝化层的表面电荷密度,这样自发极化层的极化方向才能够得以保持,不被钝化层的局域电场覆盖、削弱甚至翻转。 During the operation of the solar cell, the residual polarization intensity Pr of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 needs to be greater than the surface charge density of the passivation layer, so that the polarization direction of the spontaneous polarization layer can be maintained and not be covered, weakened or even flipped by the local electric field of the passivation layer.
以PERC电池中Al2O3钝化层的表面电荷密度Qf为例,若要实现有效的场钝化,则要求:
Qf>6×1012cm-2=6×1012×1.6×10-19C/cm-2=0.96μC/cm-2
Taking the surface charge density Qf of the Al2O3 passivation layer in a PERC cell as an example, if effective field passivation is to be achieved, it is required that:
Qf >6× 1012cm -2 =6×1012× 1.6 × 10-19C /cm -2 =0.96μC/cm -2
在一个具体的实施方式中,所述自发极化层8的剩余极化强度大于0.96μC/cm-2,例如可以为1μC/cm-2、2μC/cm-2、3μC/cm-2、4μC/cm-2、5μC/cm-2、6μC/cm-2、7μC/cm-2、8μC/cm-2、9μC/cm-2、10μC/cm-2、11μC/cm-2、12μC/cm-2、13μC/cm-2、14μC/cm-2、15μC/cm-2、16μC/cm-2、17μC/cm-2、18μC/cm-2、19μC/cm-2、20μC/cm-2、25μC/cm-2、30μC/cm-2、35μC/cm-2、40μC/cm-2、50μC/cm-2In a specific embodiment, the remanent polarization intensity of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 is greater than 0.96 μC/cm -2 , for example, it can be 1 μC/cm -2 , 2 μC/cm -2 , 3 μC/cm -2 , 4 μC/cm -2 , 5 μC/cm -2 , 6 μC/cm -2 , 7 μC/cm -2 , 8 μC/cm -2 , 9 μC/cm -2 , 10 μC/cm -2 , 11 μC/cm -2 , 12 μC/cm -2 , 13 μC/cm -2 , 14 μC/cm -2 , 15 μC/cm -2 , 16 μC/cm -2, 17 μC/cm -2 , 18 μC/cm -2 , 19 μC/cm -2 , 20 μC/cm -2 , 25 μC/cm -2 , 30 μC/cm -2 , 35 μC/cm -2 , 40μC/cm -2 , 50μC/cm -2 .
电子在自发极化层8中主要以隧穿机制传输,其传输行为可依照铁电隧道结中的电子传输行为。现有常见的铁电隧道结的结电阻率一般不超过106Ω·cm;目前单结太阳能电池的最大工作电流不超过50mA·cm-2,则在工作状态下,自发极化层上由于光伏电流产生的最大电场强度:
E=(50mA·cm-2)×(106Ω·cm)
=0.05×106A·Ω·cm-1
=5×104V·cm-1=50kV·cm-1
Electrons are mainly transported in the spontaneous polarization layer 8 by tunneling mechanism, and their transport behavior can be compared with the electron transport behavior in the ferroelectric tunnel junction. The junction resistivity of the common ferroelectric tunnel junction is generally not more than 10 6 Ω·cm; the maximum operating current of the single junction solar cell is not more than 50mA·cm -2 , then in the working state, the maximum electric field intensity generated by the photovoltaic current on the spontaneous polarization layer is:
E=(50mA·cm -2 )×(10 6 Ω·cm)
=0.05×10 6 A·Ω·cm -1
=5×10 4 V·cm -1 =50 kV·cm -1
因此,自发极化层8的矫顽场强Ec,应大于上述E值,即Ec>50kV·cm-1,才能保证在工作条件下,自发极化层8的有序极化不被翻转,对器件性能造成不良影响。Therefore, the coercive field strength E c of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 should be greater than the above E value, ie, E c >50 kV·cm -1 , to ensure that the ordered polarization of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 is not flipped under working conditions, which would adversely affect the device performance.
在一个具体的实施方式中,所述自发极化层8的矫顽电场强度大于50kV·cm-1,例如可以为51kV·cm-1、52kV·cm-1、53kV·cm-1、54kV·cm-1、55kV·cm-1、60kV·cm-1、65kV·cm-1、70kV·cm-1、75kV·cm-1、80kV·cm-1、85kV·cm-1、90kV·cm-1、95kV·cm-1、100kV·cm-1、110kV·cm-1、120kV·cm-1In a specific embodiment, the coercive electric field strength of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 is greater than 50 kV·cm -1 , for example, 51 kV·cm -1 , 52 kV·cm- 1 , 53 kV·cm -1, 54 kV·cm-1 , 55 kV·cm- 1 , 60 kV·cm -1 , 65 kV·cm- 1 , 70 kV·cm- 1 , 75 kV·cm -1 , 80 kV·cm-1, 85 kV·cm -1 , 90 kV·cm- 1 , 95 kV·cm-1, 100 kV·cm- 1 , 110 kV·cm - 1 , 120 kV·cm -1 .
为实现自发极化层8“辅助载流子传输,提高传输效率”的功能,要求自发极化层8的极化方向,与电池中正电荷传输方向相同,在此情况下,其内部的极化电场才可以促进载流子传输。In order to realize the function of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 of "assisting carrier transport and improving transport efficiency", the polarization direction of the spontaneous polarization layer 8 is required to be the same as the positive charge transport direction in the battery. In this case, the polarization electric field inside it can promote carrier transport.
