Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrode preparation of photovoltaic devices, and more specifically, to a conductive paste and a preparation method thereof and an application in a porous back electrode, and in particular to a preparation method for a high-performance porous back electrode of a mesoscopic perovskite solar cell. Background Art

[0002] In the past decade, perovskite solar cells have developed rapidly, and their photoelectric conversion efficiency has increased from 3.8% to 25.7% in just a few years. Perovskite solar cells are third-generation thin-film solar photovoltaic cells that use semiconductor materials with similar crystal structures to perovskites as light-absorbing materials. They have outstanding advantages such as high photoelectric conversion efficiency, solution preparation, and low cost. They have broad application prospects and are expected to trigger an energy revolution in related fields. The electrode of a perovskite solar cell is one of the core parts of the device and greatly affects the performance of the device.

[0003] There are many types of electrode materials, and metals are currently the most widely used electrode materials, including gold, silver, etc. The high conductivity of metal electrodes is conducive to higher efficiency of devices. However, due to the high price of precious metals and the complex deposition method, it is not conducive to the production of large-area devices. In addition, metal electrodes are not stable enough, and metal clusters or ions can easily diffuse into the perovskite absorption layer, resulting in a decrease in device performance. These unfavorable factors will hinder the commercialization of perovskite solar cells. Carbon materials such as graphite, carbon black, carbon nanotubes, and graphene can solve these problems well as electrode materials. They have the advantages of low cost, good stability, good conductivity, and work function close to that of gold electrodes (4.8eV and 5.1eV, respectively). In addition, carbon electrode materials are hydrophobic, which is beneficial to block the penetration of water into perovskite, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0004] The high conductivity of the porous back electrode in the mesoscopic perovskite solar cell is the basis for ensuring the excellent performance of the device. The large resistance of the electrode will hinder the transmission of carriers, thereby limiting the performance of the device. Graphite is widely used in porous back electrodes because of its high conductivity. In addition, the addition of a small amount of carbon black can build a conductive channel between graphite sheets, which is beneficial to the improvement of the overall conductivity of the porous back electrode. At the same time, the addition of carbon black can increase the viscosity of the electrode slurry and improve the quality of screen printing. However, the conductivity of the back electrode based on carbon black and graphite is far inferior to that of the metal electrode. Among them, carbon black is an amorphous carbon material with a concentric circle structure of graphite layer stacking, so its conductivity is very poor, not as good as graphite with directional arrangement and orientation. Therefore, the use of more suitable conductive materials to replace the carbon black in the traditional porous back electrode is expected to further improve the conductivity of the porous back electrode, which is beneficial to improve the performance of mesoscopic perovskite solar cells. Summary of the invention

This solves the technical problems of the poor conductivity of the porous back electrode and the poor performance of the mesoscopic perovskite solar cell in the prior art.

[0108] The preparation method of the perovskite solar cell and the preparation method of the porous back electrode of this comparative example are exactly the same as those of Examples 1, 2, and 3, with the only difference being that the conductive medium of the porous back electrode adopts the components of a traditional carbon back electrode, including carbon black and graphite.

[0109] Comparative Example 2

[0110] The porous back electrode slurry of the perovskite solar cell of this comparative example includes the following components:

[0111] Graphite: 8.5g;

[0112] Zirconium oxide: 1.25g;

[0113] Ethyl cellulose: 1.2 g;

[0114] Terpineol: 23g;

[0115] The preparation method of the perovskite solar cell and the preparation method of the porous back electrode of this comparative example are exactly the same as those of Examples 1, 2, and 3, with the only difference being that the conductive medium of the porous back electrode only includes graphite.

[0116] Test Example

[0117] In order to verify the technical effect of the high-performance porous back electrode described in the present invention, the resistivity of the porous back electrodes prepared with different back electrode slurries was jointly tested by four-probe and step profiler.

[0118] Experimental results refer to Figure 2As shown in Table 1, the resistivity of the porous back electrode based on CB and PG is 0.0198Ω·cm, and the resistivity of the porous back electrode based on pure PG (equivalent PG replacing CB) is 0.0092Ω·cm, indicating that replacing CB with PG can reduce the resistance of the porous back electrode and increase its conductivity. This is because pyrolytic graphite is composed of stacked graphite layers composed of hexagonal rings of carbon, which is highly oriented, making the lateral conductivity of graphite very good, comparable to that of metals. However, if only graphite is used as a conductive medium particle, the printing performance of the carbon slurry will be poor, and the carbon film will be loose and easy to peel off, thus affecting the device performance. Carbon black has an amorphous structure, a low degree of graphitization, and a concentric circle orientation of graphite layers. Therefore, the aggregates of carbon black appear as strings of nanoparticles, making its conductivity far inferior to that of pyrolytic graphite. However, a highly conductive pure PG porous electrode is obtained by the method of the present invention, which means that the conductivity of the porous back electrode can be improved by replacing the CB with poor conductivity in the traditional carbon back electrode with a high-temperature resistant high-conductivity material through this method, which is conducive to the preparation of high-performance perovskite solar cells.

[0119] See also Figure 2 The resistivity of the porous back electrodes based on TiN and PG, NbN and PG, TaC and PG are 0.00098Ω·cm, 0.014Ω·cm, and 0.0088Ω·cm, respectively, while the resistivity of the traditional porous carbon back electrode based on PG and CB components is 0.0198Ω·cm, indicating that replacing the CB in the traditional porous back electrode with conductive media such as TiN, NbN, and TaC can improve the conductivity of the porous back electrode. In addition, the conductivity of the porous back electrodes based on TiN and PG, TaC and PG is comparable to that based on pure graphite electrodes, so they may have better performance.

[0123] The back electrode material replacing CB in the present invention is not limited to PG, TiN, NbN, TaC, and other high-temperature stable and highly conductive media can be used, including metal nitrides, carbides, borides, oxides, and silicides.
