We successfully developed a prototyping pilot line for dye-sensitized solar modules up to 23 × 23 cm2. Dedicated ceramic materials were studied for large area application: we formulated a lead-free glass frit sealant with low softening point based on the ternary system Bi2O3-B2O3-ZnO and a TiO2 anatase screen-printable paste for semi-transparent photoanodes. Alongside traditional screen-printing, specific machines among which a thermal press, a dye injection equipment and an automatic electrolyte filler were designed and realized. A silver-free layout was adopted and the solar modules reached an efficiency close to 2%. Photovoltaic glass panels composed by interconnected DSSC modules were interfaced with custom integrated circuits to realize energy storage microsystems for two self-powered prototypes: a USB solar table for recharging of portable devices and a novel LED glass parapet for active night lighting are here presented.

基于原型试验生产线的染料敏化太阳能电池组件的制造及其集成到储能微系统中
我们成功开发了用于染料敏化太阳能电池模块的原型试验生产线,该模块的最大尺寸为23×23 cm 2。研究了专用陶瓷材料的大面积应用:我们基于三元体系Bi 2 O 3 -B 2 O 3 -ZnO和TiO 2配制了一种低软化点的无铅玻璃粉密封胶。用于半透明光阳极的锐钛矿型丝网印刷浆料。除了传统的丝网印刷外,还设计并实现了特定的机器,其中包括热压机,染料注入设备和自动电解液填充机。采用无银布局,太阳能电池组件的效率接近2%。由互连的DSSC模块组成的光伏玻璃面板与定制集成电路接口,以实现用于两个自供电原型的能量存储微系统:这里介绍了用于为便携式设备充电的USB太阳能桌子和用于活动夜间照明的新型LED玻璃护栏。
