Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a type of solar cell that has good resistance against harsh environments such as extreme temperatures or humidity. It also works well even at very low temperatures.

Problems solved by technology

This patent describes how lamination technology can be used for producing flexible solar cells with improved performance at extreme temperatures and humidities. However, there may still be issues with the organic-inorganic perovskite compound being present in the photoelectric conversion layer due to its low stability during storage and processing conditions.

(1) Anodization of Aluminum Foil

[0092]An aluminum foil (available from UACJ, thickness 100 μm) was anodized with sulfuric acid to form an aluminum oxide film on a surface of the aluminum foil. Thus, a flexible substrate was obtained.

[0093]A cross section of the obtained flexible substrate was observed with an electron microscope (S-4800, available from Hitachi, Ltd.) and the contrast of the obtained photograph was analyzed to measure the thickness of the flexible substrate (the total thickness of the aluminum foil and the aluminum oxide film) and the thickness of the aluminum oxide film. The ratio of the thickness of the aluminum oxide film to the total thickness of the aluminum foil and the aluminum oxide film was calculated from the obtained thicknesses. A surface of the obtained flexible substrate was observed with an electron microscope (S-4800, available from Hitachi, Ltd.) and the crystal structure of the aluminum oxide in the aluminum oxide film was determined to be the boehmite

examples 2 to 9

[0098]A flexible solar cell was obtained as in Example 1 except that the thickness of the aluminum oxide film and the ratio thereof were adjusted as shown in Table 1 by adjusting the thickness of the aluminum foil used and the treatment time or treatment temperature in anodization.

Comparative Examples 1, 2, 8, and 9

[0099]A flexible solar cell was obtained as in Example 1 except that the thickness of the aluminum oxide film and the ratio thereof were adjusted as shown in Table 1 by adjusting the thickness of the aluminum foil used and the treatment time in anodization.
