  • Publication number: 20240047593
    Abstract: A thin film photovoltaic structure has a substrate, a first conductive layer, a photovoltaic layer, a second conductive layer, multiple serial connection conductive layers and multiple first insulating areas. By using the serial connection conductive layer, each width between each adjacent serially connected photovoltaic structures is reduced, and an effective area of the thin film photovoltaic structure for collecting optic energy is increased, thus enhancing a geometry fill factor of the thin film photovoltaic structure. Further, by using the serial connection conductive layer and the first insulating area to form contact overlap areas in an overlapping arrangement, it can effectively protect conductive areas in the first conductive layer when etching the second conductive layer during the manufacturing process, which prevents the conductive areas from being damaged to not act as electrodes, and efficiently increases a manufacture yielding rate of the thin film photovoltaic structure.

  • Publication number: 20210043842
    Abstract: An electrode interface layer material is generated by using a modifier to react with polyethyleneimine, and the amine group on the polyethyleneimine is converted into an ammonium group by reacting with the modifier to form a zwitterionic polyethyleneimine. When an active layer containing a non-fullerene material is formed on the surface of the electrode interface layer, or when the surface of the electrode interface layer is contacted with a non-fullerene material, the possibility that the non-fullerene material is destroyed by the amine groups in the electrode interface layer can be reduced. In addition, the aforementioned electrode interface layer material or zwitterionic polymer is used for an organic photovoltaic device.
