图 1 : CZTSSe 太阳能电池图片 为了解决这一问题,中国科学院青岛生物能源与过程研究所研究团队在材料内部引入一层"界面 相"作为"交通指挥员"。这层名为Li2SnS3的特殊结构,可以在关键反应过程中引导金属离子按照正确路 线移动,让晶体结构更加均匀、稳定,就像把"乱跑的材料"重新排好队。 这一方法能够让晶粒长得更大、更整齐,明显减少了材料内部的缺陷,从根本上提升了电池的发电 能力。在这一新机制的帮助下,研究团队取得了一系列重要成果:光电转换效率达到15.45%;国际权 威认证效率15.04%;在较窄带隙条件下,开路电压首次突破600mV,为解决该类型光伏器件的性能瓶 颈提供了新思路。从材料生长机理层面,首次系统解释了"离子迁移—缺陷—性能"之间的关系,这些成 果为未来的产业化应用打下了坚实基础。随着全球能源转型加速,这项成果有望在未来的清洁能源体系 中发挥重要作用,为绿色低碳发展贡献新的方案。 据了解,这项技术的核心材料叫:铜锌锡硫硒太阳能电池(简称CZTSSe)。其材料来源广泛,主 要元素在地壳中储量丰富,不依赖稀有金属,材料成本低;其次溶液法制备,制备成本低;薄膜电池, 材料用量低;另外,该材料还 ...
