This invention is related to novel perylene diester derivatives represented by the general formula (I) or general formula (II) as described herein. The derivatives are useful in various applications, such as luminescent dyes for optical light collection systems, fluorescence-based solar collectors, fluorescence-activated displays, and / or single-molecule spectroscopy. The invention also relates to a luminescent medium, such as a luminescent film, that can significantly enhance the solar harvesting efficiency of thin film CdS / CdTe or CIGS solar cells. The luminescent medium comprises an optically transparent polymer matrix and at least one luminescent dye that comprises a perylene diester derivative. Over 16% of an efficiency enhancement to a CdS / CdTe solar cell and over 12% of an efficiency enhancement to a CIGS solar cell can be achieved.
The invention relates to a method for surface corrosion of a CdTe film and preparation of a CdTe solar cell by adopting the method, pertaining to the processing field of semiconductor devices. An mixed liquid of nitric acid, glacial acetic acid, NaAc and deionized water is served as corrosive liquid, wherein, the NaAc is served as a buffering agent to keep the pH value of the intermixture unchanged and lead the reaction to be more stable; CdTe and the nitric acid react to generate a layer rich in tellurium; after washing and blow-drying, a back contact layer containing Cu or without Cu is sedimented; finally, a back electrode is sedimented for preparing the CdTe solar cell. Sedimentation of back contact material can increase carrier concentration near a pn junction, reduce the height of Schottky potential barrier and avoid direct sedimentation of Cu from forming a comparatively complex CuxTe structure. By adopting the method for corrosion and the preparation of the CdTe solar cell, the performance of the solar cell can be obviously improved and the stability and the repeatability of the device can be ensured.
A solar cell module includes a solar cell panel including a plurality of solar cells and a bus bar connected to the solar cells, a protective substrate on the solar cell panel, and a spacer part between the solar cell panel and the protective substrate. The spacer part includes an air layer and a spacer surrounding the air layer.
