Continuously in-situ manufacture of perovskite quantum dots/POE encapsulation adhesive film for silicon solar cell enhancement application

Converting the UV-blue irradiation into longer wavelength can efficiently ameliorate the insufficient solar spectral response and enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of silicon solar cells, whereas there is still no appropriate strategy to make the corresponding luminescence downshifting materials compatible with commercial silicon photovoltaic modules practically. Herein, we first demonstrate an in-situ fabricated CsPbBr3 PQDs/POE encapsulation adhesive film, which can simultaneously achieve continuously large-scale manufacture through melt extrusion and possess well compatibility with the encapsulation technique of silicon photovoltaic modules. According to the separate granulation preparation and technical optimization, the composited adhesive film exhibits an intensive PL emission at 515 nm with a full width at a half-maximum of 20 nm and an ultra high PLQY of 98.2%. Moreover, less than 5% PL intensity decline even after keeping in 50 °C/90 RH aging condition for >2400 h proves its excellent working stability and barrier property. By means of hot pressing operation, the silicon solar cells encapsulated with CsPbBr3 PQDs/POE adhesive film harvest an absolute PCE enhancement of 0.68%. This work provides a way of great potential towards further improving the silicon photovoltaic industry and corresponding optoelectronic applications.
