Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] The two-step process for preparing perovskite thin films includes: transferring the battery substrate to a deposition area, depositing a divalent cationic halide, such as PbI2, as a framework layer on the substrate, then spin-coating a monovalent cationic solution onto the framework layer, followed by annealing to prepare the perovskite thin film. Because the deposition rate of divalent cationic halides, such as PbI2, is relatively slow, the process time is long to achieve the desired framework layer thickness, limiting mass production. Furthermore, the prolonged high-temperature deposition of the framework layer can result in poor perovskite film quality, thus affecting the improvement of the device's photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[0024] In some embodiments, the divalent cation halide and the alkali metal halide are co-distilled on the substrate for 35 min to 160 min.
[0025] In some embodiments, the grain size of the framework layer is 30nm~50nm.
[0026] In some embodiments, the solute in the monovalent cation solution includes one or more of FAI, FABr, FACl, MAI, MABr, and MACl.
[0027] In some embodiments, before the step of preparing the skeleton layer, a step of stacking a hole transport layer on the substrate is included;

[0038] The solar cell fabrication method of some embodiments of this application first heats and melts a divalent cation halide at a first temperature, placing it in a solid-liquid mixed state. Then, the temperature is lowered to a second temperature. Since the divalent cation halide is still in a solid-liquid mixed state at this time, it can maintain a high evaporation rate. Evaporation is then performed on the substrate, significantly increasing the deposition rate of the framework layer. Simultaneously, because the divalent cation halide has a lower second temperature, the temperature on the substrate is reduced, resulting in a framework layer with a smaller grain size. This effectively increases the surface area, increasing the contact area between the framework layer and subsequent monovalent cations, which is more conducive to the full reaction between the framework layer and the monovalent cations. This achieves better perovskite film formation, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell. Attached Figure Description

[0058] As described in the background section, traditional framework layer fabrication processes are time-consuming. To address the slow deposition rate of the framework layer, researchers often increase the deposition rate by raising the evaporation temperature of evaporation sources such as PbI2 and CsBr. However, this increased temperature leads to larger grain sizes in the framework layer film, hindering the full reaction between the framework layer and the monovalent cation solution, resulting in poor perovskite film quality. Therefore, increasing the deposition temperature only solves the mass production problem but also reduces photoelectric efficiency. In another related technology, researchers increase the deposition rate of the framework layer by increasing the number of evaporation sources. For example, doubling the number of evaporation sources halves the process time. This method enables mass production. but Increasing the number of evaporation sources increases equipment investment and costs. Another related technology involves lowering the evaporation temperature of evaporation sources such as PbI2 and CsBr to achieve a smaller grain size in the framework layer. However, this method further reduces the film formation rate of the framework layer due to the lower evaporation temperature, leading to a further increase in process time and making mass production more difficult.
[0059] Therefore, the current method of evaporating the framework layer is difficult to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and reduce the cost at the same time as increasing the deposition rate and facilitating mass production, which limits the industrial application of high-efficiency perovskite solar cells.
[0060] Based on this, the first aspect of this application provides a method for fabricating a solar cell; please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 It includes the following steps:
[0061] Step S110: The divalent cationic halide is heated and melted at a first temperature, so that the divalent cationic halide is in a solid-liquid mixed state.
[0062] Step S120: Cool the divalent cation halide to a second temperature, which is the lowest temperature at which the divalent cation halide can maintain a solid-liquid mixed state.
[0063] Step S130: At the second temperature, divalent cation halides are vapor-deposited onto the substrate to prepare a framework layer.
[0064] Step S140: Coat the framework layer with a monovalent cation solution, anneal, and prepare a perovskite layer.
[0065] The solar cell fabrication method of some embodiments of this application first heats and melts a divalent cation halide at a first temperature, placing it in a solid-liquid mixed state. Then, the temperature is lowered to a second temperature. Since the divalent cation halide is still in a solid-liquid mixed state at this time, it can maintain a high evaporation rate. Evaporation is then performed on the substrate, significantly increasing the deposition rate of the framework layer. Simultaneously, because the divalent cation halide has a lower second temperature, the temperature on the substrate is reduced, resulting in a framework layer with a smaller grain size. This effectively increases the surface area, increasing the contact area between the framework layer and subsequent monovalent cations, which is more conducive to the full reaction between the framework layer and the monovalent cations. This achieves better perovskite film formation, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell.
[0066] Furthermore, the solar cell fabrication method using some embodiments of this application, compared to the traditional method of adding an evaporation source, enables rapid film formation of the framework layer without increasing equipment costs, thus saving equipment costs. Using this framework layer deposition method, even with the same evaporation source temperature and unidirectional heating, the substrate temperature remains the same. However, the new method effectively reduces the time the substrate spends at this temperature, thereby reducing the grain size of the framework layer and facilitating perovskite film formation.
[0067] In some embodiments, the step of heating and melting the divalent cationic halide at a first temperature includes: holding the divalent cationic halide at the first temperature for 5 min to 20 min, wherein the first temperature is the melting temperature of the divalent cationic halide + (0 to 48) °C. For example, the difference between the first temperature and the melting temperature of the divalent cationic halide (i.e., the first temperature - the melting temperature of the divalent cationic halide) may be, but is not limited to, 0 °C, 2 °C, 5 °C, 8 °C, 10 °C, 12 °C, 15 °C, 18 °C, 20 °C, 22 °C, 24 °C, 26 °C, 28 °C, 30 °C, 32 °C, 34 °C, 36 °C, 38 °C, 40 °C, 42 °C, 44 °C, 46 °C, 48 °C, or any combination of these values. The holding time may be, but is not limited to, 5 min, 8 min, 10 min, 12 min, 15 min, 18 min, 20 min, or any combination of these values.
[0068] Experiments have shown that optimizing the initial temperature and holding time is beneficial for obtaining a suitable evaporation rate and grain size, thereby improving the quality of perovskite film formation. Specifically, using an appropriate initial temperature and holding time helps to ensure a suitable amount of material melted from the evaporation source, reducing the risk of a low evaporation rate after subsequent cooling due to a small amount of melted material. Simultaneously, it reduces the risk of material waste and a small grain size due to excessive melted material before deposition, or a rapid evaporation rate. If the grain size is small, the framework layer is denser with fewer gaps, making subsequent monovalent cation penetration difficult, resulting in a decrease in perovskite film quality.
[0069] In some embodiments, the second temperature is the melting temperature of the divalent cationic halide minus (52 to 150) °C. For example, the difference between the melting temperature of the divalent cationic halide and the second temperature (i.e., the melting temperature of the divalent cationic halide minus the second temperature) may be, but is not limited to, 52 °C, 60 °C, 70 °C, 80 °C, 90 °C, 100 °C, 110 °C, 120 °C, 130 °C, 140 °C, 150 °C, or a range of any two of these values.
[0070] In some embodiments, the divalent cationic halide includes one or more of lead halide and tin halide. Specifically, the divalent cationic halide includes one or more of lead chloride, lead bromide, lead iodide, tin chloride, tin bromide, and tin iodide. In some embodiments, the divalent cationic halide includes lead iodide.
[0071] In some embodiments, the divalent cationic halide includes lead iodide, the first temperature is 402°C to 450°C, and the second temperature is 300°C to 350°C.
[0072] In some embodiments, the framework layer further includes an alkali metal halide, and the preparation step of the framework layer further includes:
[0073] The alkali metal halide is heated and melted at a third temperature, so that the alkali metal halide is in a solid-liquid mixed state;
[0074] The alkali metal halide is cooled to a fourth temperature; where the fourth temperature is the lowest temperature at which the alkali metal halide can maintain a solid-liquid mixed state.
[0075] At the second and fourth temperatures, the divalent cation halide and alkali metal halide are co-evaporated onto the substrate to prepare the framework layer.
[0076] Adding alkali metal halides to the framework layer helps to adjust the band gap of the perovskite layer and improve its stability.
[0077] In some embodiments, the third temperature is the melting temperature of the alkali metal halide + (0~24) °C. For example, the difference between the melting temperature of the alkali metal halide and the second temperature (i.e., the melting temperature of the alkali metal halide - the second temperature) may be, but is not limited to, 0 °C, 2 °C, 5 °C, 8 °C, 10 °C, 12 °C, 15 °C, 18 °C, 20 °C, 22 °C, 24 °C, or a range of any two of these values. Specifically, the step of heating and melting the alkali metal halide at the third temperature to bring it into a solid-liquid mixed state includes: holding the alkali metal halide at the third temperature for 5 min to 20 min.
[0078] In some embodiments, the fourth temperature is the melting temperature of the alkali metal halide minus (186–260) °C. For example, the difference between the melting temperature of the alkali metal halide and the fourth temperature (i.e., the melting temperature of the alkali metal halide minus the fourth temperature) may, but is not limited to, 186 °C, 190 °C, 200 °C, 210 °C, 220 °C, 230 °C, 240 °C, 250 °C, 260 °C, or a range of any two of these values.
[0079] In some embodiments, the alkali metal halide includes cesium halide. Specifically, the alkali metal halide includes one or more of cesium chloride, cesium bromide, and cesium iodide. In some embodiments, the alkali metal halide includes cesium bromide.
[0080] In some embodiments, the alkali metal halide includes cesium bromide, the third temperature is 636°C to 660°C, and the fourth temperature is 400°C to 450°C.
[0081] In some embodiments, the divalent cationic halide includes lead iodide, the alkali metal halide includes cesium bromide, and the preparation steps of the framework layer include:
[0082] The lead iodide evaporation source is heated to 402℃~450℃ and held for 5min~20min, and the cesium bromide evaporation source is heated to 636℃~660℃ and held for 5min~20min, so that both lead iodide and cesium bromide are in a solid-liquid mixed state.
[0083] The lead iodide evaporation source is cooled to 300℃~350℃, and the cesium bromide evaporation source is cooled to 400℃~450℃, so that lead iodide and cesium bromide are kept in a solid-liquid mixed state. At this temperature, the lead iodide evaporation source and the cesium bromide evaporation source are co-evaporated on the substrate to prepare the framework layer.
[0084] First, the temperature of the evaporation source is raised above the melting points of PbI2 and CsBr, specifically 402℃~450℃ for PbI2 and 636℃~660℃ for CsBr. This temperature is maintained for 5-20 minutes, causing partial melting of PbI2 and CsBr, resulting in a solid-liquid mixture. Then, the PbI2 and CsBr evaporation sources are cooled to 300℃~350℃ for PbI2 and 400℃~450℃ for CsBr. This temperature maintains the solid-liquid mixture, allowing for a high evaporation rate. After the evaporation rate stabilizes, the substrate is transferred to the multi-source evaporation chamber for framework layer deposition. The resulting framework layer has a grain size between 30nm and 50nm. The smaller grain size increases the contact area with monovalent cations, facilitating the reaction between the framework layer and the monovalent cations and achieving better perovskite film formation.
[0085] In some embodiments, the grain size of the framework layer is 30 nm to 50 nm. For example, the grain size of the framework layer can be, but is not limited to, 30 nm, 32 nm, 35 nm, 36 nm, 38 nm, 40 nm, 42 nm, 45 nm, 46 nm, 48 nm, 50 nm, or any combination of these values. If the grain size of the framework layer is small, the framework layer is dense with small gaps, making it difficult for subsequent monovalent cations to penetrate, resulting in a decrease in the quality of the perovskite film. If the grain size of the framework layer is large, the larger grains reduce the contact area between the framework layer and the monovalent cation solution, which is not conducive to the reaction between the framework layer and the monovalent cations, resulting in incomplete and insufficient reaction, and thus a poor crystallinity of the perovskite film. The framework layer prepared by the preparation methods of some embodiments of this application has a suitable grain size, which can react fully and uniformly with monovalent cations, improving the film quality of the perovskite layer. Optionally, the grain size of the framework layer is 32 nm to 48 nm.
[0086] In some embodiments, the co-evaporation time of the divalent cationic halide and the alkali metal halide on the substrate is 35 min to 160 min. For example, the co-evaporation time may be, but is not limited to, 35 min, 40 min, 45 min, 50 min, 60 min, 80 min, 100 min, 120 min, 140 min, 150 min, 160 min, or any combination of these values.
[0087] In some embodiments, the pressure in the evaporation chamber is 1×10⁻⁶. -3 Below Pa.
[0088] In some embodiments, the solute in the monovalent cation solution includes one or more of FAI, FABr, FACl, MAI, MABr, and MACl. The solvent in the monovalent cation solution includes one or both of anhydrous ethanol and isopropanol.
[0089] It is understood that the specific composition of the monovalent cation solution is not particularly limited in this application and can be any composition commonly used in the field, which will not be elaborated here.
[0090] In some of these embodiments, the concentration of FAI is 0.3 mol / L to 0.6 mol / L, the concentration of FABr is 0 to 0.6 mol / L, the concentration of MAI is 0 to 0.2 mol / L, the concentration of MABr is 0 mol / L to 0.2 mol / L, and the concentration of MACl is 0 mol / L to 0.15 mol / L.
[0091] In some embodiments, prior to the step of preparing the skeleton layer, a step of stacking a hole transport layer on the substrate is included;
[0092] The materials for the hole transport layer include nickel oxide (NiO). x ).
[0093] Specifically, the hole transport layer has a thickness of 20 nm to 30 nm. In some embodiments, the hole transport layer is prepared by physical vapor deposition.
[0094] In some embodiments, a hole modification layer is further provided between the hole transport layer and the perovskite layer. The material of the hole modification layer includes a self-assembled single-molecule material (SAM). Providing a hole modification layer between the perovskite layer and the hole transport layer is beneficial for improving the energy level matching between the hole transport layer and the perovskite layer, and avoids the presence of Ni in the hole transport layer. 3+ Ni 4+ Oxidative decomposition of perovskite thin films. In some embodiments, the hole-modifying layer material includes one or both of 2PACz and 4PACz. It is understood that only two relatively specific single-molecule self-assembly materials are given here, but are not limited thereto.
[0095] In some embodiments, the hole-modified layer is prepared using a solution method. Specifically, the preparation steps of the hole-modified layer include:
[0096] Obtain a self-assembled monomolecular material solution;
[0097] A hole-modified layer is prepared by spin-coating a self-assembled monomolecular material solution onto a hole transport layer and then annealing it.
[0098] Since the evaporation temperature of PbI2 is approximately 350℃ and that of CsBr reaches 440℃, this results in a SAM-coated substrate having a temperature above 120℃. This temperature causes SAM desorption, allowing the NiO hole transport layer to... X Exposed. And exposed NiO X Direct contact with the perovskite thin film causes energy level mismatch and also leads to oxidative decomposition of the perovskite film, resulting in a decrease in the device's open-circuit voltage (V). OC The fill factor (FF) and other properties decrease. In traditional processes, the evaporation rate is increased by raising the temperature of the evaporation source. However, this also increases the substrate temperature, leading to SAM desorption and resulting in more exposed NiO. X The hole transport layer is in direct contact with the subsequent perovskite thin film, causing an energy level mismatch, while the high-cost Ni... 3+ Ni 4+ It can also cause oxidative decomposition of perovskite films, leading to a decrease in the V of the device. OC And FF is further reduced. To address the desorption problem of SAM during the co-evaporation process of the framework layer, researchers have adopted a method of reducing the evaporation source. Although the reduction in evaporation temperature lowers the temperature of the SAM-coated battery substrate, preventing SAM desorption due to high temperatures, this protects the SAM coverage on the battery substrate and achieves V... OC While this method improves the deposition rate and FF (fine particulate air) efficiency, it further reduces the deposition rate of the framework layer and increases the processing time. Therefore, current methods for co-evaporating the framework layer all employ unidirectional heating, making it difficult to simultaneously increase the deposition rate and facilitate mass production while reducing the risk of high-temperature desorption of the SAM layer.
[0099] In some embodiments of this application, by first heating the evaporation source to above its melting point and holding it at that temperature for a certain period of time, and then cooling it down, the substrate is deposited by vapor deposition. Since the evaporation source is in a solid-liquid mixed state at this time, only a lower evaporation source temperature is needed to maintain a high evaporation rate, which can effectively improve the film formation rate of the framework layer. The SAM-coated battery substrate is then transferred to the evaporation source chamber for framework layer deposition. Due to the low temperature at this time, the temperature on the substrate is reduced, protecting the SAM from desorption and achieving better energy level matching with the perovskite film. This also further reduces the Ni... 3+ Ni 4+ The oxidative decomposition of perovskite thin films enabled the realization of device V OC The method for preparing the framework layer using some embodiments of this application achieves the same substrate temperature under the same evaporation source temperature and unidirectional heating conditions.

[0203] The other layers are the same as in Example 1, and will not be described again.
[0204] Comparative Example 3
[0205] Comparative Example 3 provides a method for preparing a solar cell, which is similar to the method in Example 1, except that the preparation method of the framework layer in step (7) is different. In Comparative Example 3, the preparation method of the framework layer includes the following steps:
[0206] A one-step unidirectional heating method was adopted, increasing the number of evaporation sources and improving the deposition rate of the framework layer compared to Comparative Example 1. Two PbI2 evaporation sources were used, with the temperature raised to 350℃; two CsBr evaporation sources were used, with the CsBr temperature raised to 450℃. The evaporation rate of PbI2 was 4 Å / s, and the evaporation rate of CsBr was 0.4 Å / s. Framework layer deposition was performed at these evaporation source temperatures and rates. During film deposition, the substrate temperature reached 110℃. Due to the use of double the number of evaporation sources, the process time was reduced by half to 80 min compared to Comparative Example 1.
[0207] The other layers are the same as in Example 1, and will not be described again.
[0208] The process parameters for preparing the framework layer in the above embodiments and comparative examples are shown in Table 1 below.

[0209] Table 1
[0210]
[0211] Table 2 shows the data for the solar cells in each embodiment and comparative example.
[0212]
[0213] As can be seen from Table 2 above, the solar cell fabrication methods of some embodiments of this application can reduce the grain size of the framework layer, improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency, and simultaneously increase the evaporation rate. Furthermore, by optimizing the process parameters in the framework layer fabrication process, it is beneficial to further improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency while obtaining a suitable evaporation rate and grain size.
[0214] Specifically, a comparison of Examples 1, 3, 5, 7, and Comparative Example 1 shows that, with the same process time as Comparative Example 1, the vapor deposition temperatures of Examples 1, 3, 5, and 7 are lower than those of Comparative Example 1, which can reduce the grain size of the framework layer and simultaneously reduce the risk of SAM desorption caused by high temperature. A comparison of Examples 2, 4, 6, 8, and Comparative Example 1 shows that, with the same vapor deposition temperature as Comparative Example 1, the process times of Examples 2, 4, 6, and 8 are significantly shorter, which can also reduce the grain size of the framework layer and simultaneously reduce the risk of SAM desorption caused by prolonged high temperature. A comparison of Examples 2, 4, 6, 8, and Comparative Example 2 shows that, with process times comparable to or even shorter than Comparative Example 2, the vapor deposition temperatures of Examples 2, 4, 6, and 8 are lower, which can reduce the grain size of the framework layer and simultaneously reduce the risk of SAM desorption caused by high temperature. As can be seen from the comparison of Examples 2, 4, 6, and 8 with Comparative Example 3, when the evaporation temperature is the same as that of Comparative Example 3, the above examples use one evaporation source, which reduces the cost, and the process time is comparable to or even lower than that of Comparative Example 3.
