A strategy is presented to realize textile-based photovoltaic cells motivated by developments of textile-based electronics and their demand of grid-independent energy supply. Beyond this, a development of textile-based photovoltaics also represents an attractive pathway towards very flexible and rugged solar cells. The need for compatibility of an appropriate photovoltaic technology with the physical limitations of textiles is stressed. Electrodeposition from aqueous solutions is presented as a successful strategy to realize semiconductor structures on textiles and detailed control and influence of the deposition conditions is discussed. The role of microelectrode effects, options of forced convection, deposition under pulsed potential, alternative deposition baths and different substrate metals are emphasized. An active electrode material is presented which reaches a conversion efficiency close to the 1% limit under AM 1.5 illumination conditions and thereby opens the door for a further optimization towards devices of technical interest.
提出了一种策略，以实现基于纺织品的光伏电池，这是受到基于纺织品的电子学发展及其对独立于电网的能源供应的需求的推动。除此之外，基于纺织品的光伏电池的发展也代表了通向非常灵活和坚固的太阳能电池的有吸引力的途径。强调了需要使适当的光伏技术与纺织品的物理限制相兼容。从水溶液中进行电沉积被提出作为在纺织品上实现半导体结构的成功策略，并讨论了沉积条件的详细控制和影响。强调了微电极效应的作用、强制对流的选择、脉冲电位下的沉积、替代沉积浴和不同的衬底金属的选择。提出了一种活性电极材料，其在 AM 1.5 照明条件下接近 1%的转换效率极限，从而为进一步优化具有技术意义的器件开辟了道路。
