    Holst Centre, DuPont Teijin Films Develops Production-Ready Barrier Film Solution for Flexible PV

    Combines Holst Centre’s advanced barrier technology with DuPont Teijin Films’ Peelable Clean Surface film.

    Researchers at Holst Centre and DuPont Teijin Films have created a high-performance yet cost-effective roll-to-roll barrier solution designed specifically for flexible photovoltaic (PV) cells. This production-ready solution combines Holst Centre’s advanced barrier technology with DuPont Teijin Films’ Peelable Clean Surface film. It could help extend the yield and a working lifetime of organic, perovskite and CIGS PV cells, opening the door to cheaper, environmentally-friendly solar generation in more situations.
     
    Flexible PV cells offer the promise to embed clean energy generation into construction materials, vehicles and all kinds of everyday objects. They also bring the possibility of using high-volume roll-to-roll (R2R) production processes that could significantly cut manufacturing costs. However, the cells are susceptible to moisture and atmospheric oxygen and thus require an impermeable barrier to protect the sensitive thin films.
     
    Holst Centre has significant experience in developing moisture barrier solutions, including a very high performing flexible barrier developed for OLED displays. While the moisture resistance for PV cells does not need to meet these challenging standards, it must still perform at a level far above that of required for sensors, electrophoretic displays, RFIDs, LCDs, etc.
     
    One of the key elements in creating a good barrier film is ensuring that the inorganic barrier layer is deposited on a very clean surface, keeping the number of particle-induced defects in the barrier layer as low as possible. Typically, this is done by adding an organic coating to planarize the substrate surface before applying the barrier layer. But this extra step adds to the overall production cost of the barrier film and the organic materials for planarization still have limited commercial availability.
     
    The Peelable Clean Surface substrate, Melinex PCS, from DuPont Teijin Films (DTF) delivers a clean substrate surface without the need for a planarization step or other cleaning process, saving both time and costs for producing barrier film for flexible PV cells.
     
    The solution has been optimized over the last two and a half years to bring the performance of the substrate foil and the barrier layer to a production-ready level. Working closely together, Holst Centre and DTF, have developed a solution that is already capable of fabricating the barrier film at volumes in the range of thousands of square meters on the Lyteus pilot line. The developed barrier solutions have been successfully tested by Solliance for encapsulation of CIGS (CuInGaSe2) modules. After 1000hr accelerated lifetime testing (85°C-85% Relative Humidity) the performance was still above 95% of the starting performance.
