Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solar cells, specifically relating to inverted perovskite solar cells and their preparation methods, perovskite film compositions, crystalline solvates, electrical devices, and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of inverted pin perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has rapidly increased, demonstrating enormous commercial potential. These advances are attributed to effective strategies for tuning interface defects in inverted PSCs. While grain boundaries within the perovskite film bulk have been proven crucial, heterojunctions on the top (n) and bottom (p) sides of the perovskite film also play a significant role in inverted PSCs. Early research focused primarily on modifying the top (n) side heterojunction to significantly improve the photovoltaic performance and stability of PSCs. Later, increasing attention was paid to the bottom (p) heterojunction; however, the bottom heterojunction is relatively difficult to customize because it is buried beneath the perovskite film bulk.
[0003] Currently, existing trans-PSCs employ a so-called self-assembled monolayer (SAM) as the hole transport layer (HTL), such as [4-(3,6-dimethyl-9H-carbazole-9-yl)butyl]phosphonic acid (Me-4PACz). Customizing the intrinsic molecular chemistry of the SAM can modulate perovskite crystallization and interface formation, thereby improving PSC performance and stability. However, these SAMs remain relatively hydrophobic due to the presence of dangling benzene rings after formation on transparent conductive oxides. This poses problems for the diffusion and wetting of the perovskite precursor solution over large areas. The increased interfacial energy due to hydrophobicity also limits interfacial nucleation at the bottom of the film. In this case, perovskite crystallization tends to occur at the top of the precursor film and propagate downwards until it reaches the SAM substrate. As a result, morphological voids inevitably form at the bottom of the perovskite film, disrupting the microstructure and electronic integrity at the buried interface.
[0004] Furthermore, due to the ultrathin nature of the SAM layer and its deposition method, customizing the bottom of the perovskite film in pin devices using the molecular additive pre-masking method commonly used in nip devices becomes impractical. In this regard, during the fabrication of inverted pin devices, it is difficult to access those prominent surface nanogrooves located at the grain boundaries and intragranular regions at the bottom of the perovskite film, thus limiting the microstructure design for optimal device performance and stability. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention utilizes low-dimensional halide crystallized solvate (CSV) seed crystals to regulate the crystallization and bottom surface structure of perovskite films. CSV is highly effective in promoting heterogeneous nucleation and accelerating crystallization of perovskite, thereby achieving a dense microstructure of grains at the bottom of the perovskite film. CSV also improves the wettability of the perovskite precursor solution. During annealing, CSV can also release solvent molecules from the lattice. This unique subprocess eliminates interfacial voids and flattens the bottom grain boundary trenches. The low-dimensional halide from CSV retained at the bottom of the perovskite film can not only act as a passivating agent to suppress electronic defects, thereby mitigating nonradiative carrier recombination, but also reconstruct a surface energy arrangement highly favorable for hole extraction.

[0111] In some embodiments, the crystallization solvate according to the invention is PDPbI4·DMSO, wherein PD is a piperazine cation, and PD = (C4N2H 12 ) 2+ .
[0112] In another aspect, the present invention provides the application of this crystalline solvate in the preparation of inverted perovskite solar cells.
[0113] The crystalline solvate crystal layer according to the present invention possesses several inherent advantages, which the inventors rationally selected as guiding principles to regulate the bottom interface formation of SAM-based inverse perovskite solar cells. This is illustrated using PDPbI4·DMSOCSV as an example. First, the organic piperazine cation PD and DMSO solvent molecules can interact strongly with Pb. Then, due to its low-dimensional crystal structure, PDPbI4·DMSO tends to grow as a nanorod structure with a high aspect ratio, which guides liquid diffusion. Furthermore, DMSO molecules in the crystalline state can be thermally released at a controlled rate, initiating annealing of the crystalline solvate at the bottom of the film in an unprecedented manner, thereby mitigating microstructural and electronic defects at the interface.
[0114] Figure 1 Figure a shows a schematic diagram of a CSV seeding method according to an embodiment of the present invention to illustrate the process of the CSV seeding method and how it obtains a better perovskite film bottom than conventional methods, wherein the crystallization solvate is PDPbI4·DMSO. In the CSV, Pb-I6 octahedra are arranged in a zigzag structure with shared vertices, spaced along the c-axis by PDI2 and DMSO. To prepare a CSV crystalline thin layer on Me-4PACz SAM, it is simply necessary to spin-coat the precursor solution (e.g., a DMF solution of PDPbI4·DMSO) and perform thermal annealing (e.g., annealing at 100°C for 2 min). Figure 1 Image b shows a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of a CSV crystal layer spin-coated onto SAM, revealing that the spin-coated CSV crystal layer consists of uniformly distributed rod-shaped nanocrystals. Specifically, Figure 1 The inset (SEM image) in b shows the morphology of the rod-shaped nanocrystals.
[0115] The unique chemical and microstructural characteristics of CSV can significantly promote the wetting of perovskite precursor solutions on SAM. For example... Figure 1 As shown in Figure c, the wetting angle (contact angle) on the SAM (top figure) is 31.29°, while the wetting angle on the SAM (bottom figure) on which the CSV crystal layer is formed is significantly reduced to 17.97°.
[0116] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure d, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the CSV crystal layer prepared by spin coating of PDPbI4·DMSO crystal exhibits the same main diffraction peaks as those of the crystal obtained by single crystal growth (i.e., the single crystal mentioned below).
[0117] Figure 1Figure e shows the in-situ UV-Vis absorption spectrum tracking of the perovskite film after thermal annealing at 100°C; the lower figure shows the results of the perovskite film formed on SAM with a CSV crystal layer formed thereon, and the upper figure shows the results of the perovskite film formed directly on SAM. Figure 1 e is a 2D contour plot showing the absorption characteristics at all wavelengths as a function of annealing time. Studies have found that the CSV seeding method of this invention generally accelerates perovskite crystallization. Light-absorbing perovskite is formed much faster on SAMs with a CSV crystal layer on them than on SAMs.
[0118] Figure 2 The absorbance at 750 nm of the perovskite films formed after 100°C thermal annealing on SAM (control group) and SAM with a CSV crystal layer formed thereon (target group) is further shown as a function of annealing time. It can be seen that the absorbance of the target group perovskite film rapidly reaches 0.5 within 100 s. In contrast, the absorbance of the control group perovskite film only reaches 0.2. The accelerated crystallization of perovskite in the target group is attributed to more efficient heterogeneous nucleation at the bottom of the film induced by the CSV seed crystals of the nanostructure.
[0119] Figure 3 The steady-state fluorescence spectrum of the CSV crystal layer is shown.
[0120] Figure 4 The perovskite films of the target group and the control group, as well as the microstructure details of the bottom of their respective films, are shown. Figure 4 a and Figure 4 b shows cross-sectional SEM images of the perovskite films in the control group and the target group, respectively. Figure 4 c and Figure 4 Figure d shows top-view SEM images of the bottom of the aforementioned perovskite film after flipping and peeling. It can be observed that, in the absence of CSV seed crystals (control group), the bottom of the perovskite film includes numerous nanoscale voids, primarily located at grain boundaries. Void formation at the bottom of perovskite films is a commonly observed complex problem, related to inhomogeneous wetting and crystallization behavior. These buried nanoscale voids generated during crystallization inevitably hinder grain growth and coarsening, thus limiting grain growth. However, the method of the present invention, through improved solution wetting and annealing with crystallization solvates, enables the grains in the target group of perovskite films to form a dense microstructure and grow throughout the film thickness.
[0121] Figure 5 The results of grain analysis of the perovskite films in the control group and the target group are further shown. Figure 5 a and Figure 5 b shows SEM images of the perovskite film grains in the control group and the target group, respectively; Figure 5 c and Figure 5d compared the grain size distribution in the two perovskite films, showing that after CSV seeding, the average grain size in the perovskite film increased from 443.9 nm (control group, ...). Figure 5 c) The change is to 607.6 nm (target group, Figure 5 d), and the grain size distribution is more uniform.
[0122] In addition to interfacial voids, buried grain boundary trenches also exist at the bottom of the perovskite film; this is an inherent characteristic of polycrystalline materials and can have a significant impact on PSC. Therefore, these grain boundary trenches were examined using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Figure 4 Image e shows atomic force microscopy (AFM) images of grain boundary trenches at the bottom grain boundary regions of the perovskite films in the control and target groups. It can be seen that the bottom of the perovskite film in the target group tends to be shallower at the grain boundary regions. Figure 4 As shown in f, the grain boundary trenches at the bottom of the perovskite film in the control group were 23.9°, while the grain boundary trenches at the bottom of the perovskite film in the target group were shallower, at 7.8°.
[0123] The phase composition at the bottom surface of the perovskite films in the control and target groups was determined using laser confocal scanning microscopy (CLSM). For example... Figure 4 g and Figure 4 As shown in h, the bottom of the control group perovskite film only showed typical perovskite PL emission at 800 nm. Figure 4 g); in contrast, the bottom of the perovskite film in the target group also showed PL emission at 500-600 nm. Figure 4 h), which should be attributed to the remaining structure from the CSV after removing DMSO.
[0124] The perovskite film according to the present invention exhibits excellent charge transport, chemical, and mechanical properties. The carrier transport dynamics at the bottom perovskite / SAM interface of the perovskite film of the present invention were studied by transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS). The relative optical density (ΔA) of the ground-state bleached (GSB) peak reflects the photogenerated carrier density. Figure 6 a (control group) and Figure 6 As shown in b (target group), the perovskite films in the target group exhibit a faster quenching rate, reflecting faster carrier transport from perovskite to SAM. Figure 6 c shows the time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) spectra of the perovskite films in the control and target groups. The perovskite film in the target group, after CSV seeding, exhibits faster photoluminescence decay, indicating that the target group perovskite film has improved hole extraction capability.
[0125] Figure 7The ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) of the top (perovskite layer side) and bottom (SAM side) surfaces of the perovskite film is shown. The valence band maximum (VBM) at the bottom of the target group perovskite film shifts upward, meaning the energy level at the bottom VBM is higher than that at the surface. This promotes interfacial band alignment, thereby facilitating efficient hole extraction.
[0126] Figure 8 The conduction band minimum (CBM) estimated based on Tauc curves from UV-vis absorption spectra is shown. The shallow CBM at the bottom of the perovskite film can establish an electronic barrier, hindering electron transport to the SAM. In contrast, the energy levels at the top and bottom surfaces of the control group perovskite film did not change significantly. Compared to the top surface, the secondary electron cutoff at the bottom surface of the target group's perovskite film shifts towards lower binding energies (towards lower values), indicating a deeper work function at the bottom of the perovskite film, consistent with KPFM results.
[0127] like Figure 6 As shown in d, the Fermi level, determined by the initial energy, shifts towards VBM (0.26 eV), thereby weakening the n-type of the bottom perovskite and generating an upward band bend at the bottom interface. This can significantly promote hole extraction and collection at the bottom interface of the perovskite film.
[0128] The bottom heterogeneous interface of the perovskite film according to the present invention also has excellent mechanical properties. Adhesion tests (cross-section tests) were performed on six control group perovskite films and six target group perovskite films, respectively. The adhesion was graded based on the retention in the cross-section area, with six levels (0B, 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B and 5B) as defined by ASTM D3359, where 0B is the lowest adhesion, indicating complete removal; and 5B is the highest adhesion, indicating no adhesion loss. Figure 9 Photographs of perovskite films from the control and target groups after adhesion tests are shown. Statistical results are presented below. Figure 6 In the experimental group, the adhesion of the perovskite layer was rated 4B, while the control group was rated 0B, indicating that the perovskite film of the present invention has stronger adhesion than the control group. This enhanced mechanical strength can more effectively prevent interfacial voids and peeling.
[0129] To further evaluate the durability of the perovskite film, the photothermal fatigue of the perovskite-SAM heterointerface in the control and target groups was compared using SEM images of the perovskite film cross-sections under the same irradiation stress. Figure 6As shown in h, after 100 hours of continuous irradiation, obvious voids were observed at the perovskite-SAM heterostructure interface in the control group perovskite film, while the heterostructure interface of the dense perovskite film in the target group remained intact, with no obvious void formation or interface peeling.
[0130] In another aspect, the present invention provides an inverted perovskite solar cell prepared according to the method of the present invention.
[0131] In some embodiments, the inverted perovskite solar cell of the present invention comprises, in sequence, a transparent conductive substrate, optionally a hole transport layer, the perovskite film composition of the present invention, optionally a passivation layer, an electron transport layer, a barrier layer, and an electrode layer. The barrier layer is also referred to as a "buffer layer".
[0132] In some implementations, a self-assembled monolayer can be used instead of a hole transport layer, i.e., the hole transport layer is not included. In some implementations, a passivation layer may be omitted.
[0133] The transparent conductive substrate for the inverted perovskite solar cell can be selected from ITO glass and FTO glass. The thickness of the transparent conductive substrate can be 50-200 nm. The hole transport layer can include one or more of NiOx, poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine] (PTAA), poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS). The thickness of the hole transport layer can be 1-20 nm. The passivation layer can include piperazine bisiodide (PDI2) and piperazine hydroiodide. The thickness of the passivation layer can be 1-10 nm. The electron transport layer can include C60 and methyl [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyrate (PCBM). The thickness of the electron transport layer can be 20-50 nm. The blocking layer can include SnO2, (2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline) (BCP), and LiF. The thickness of the barrier layer can be 3-30 nm. The electrode layer can include one or more of silver (Ag), ITO, copper (Cu), and gold (Au). The thickness of the electrode layer can be 60-200 nm.
[0134] In one specific embodiment, the inverse perovskite solar cell of the present invention comprises ITO glass / NiO stacked sequentially. x Layer / Me-4PACz SAM layer / CSV crystal layer / Perovskite layer / Passivation layer / C60 layer / SnO2 layer / Ag. Figure 10Representative cross-sectional SEM images of the device structures of an inverted perovskite solar cell (excluding the CSV crystal layer, other layers are the same, control group) and the inverted perovskite solar cell of the present invention (target group) are shown. By varying the solution concentration of the CSV seed crystal (wherein the concentration of the DMF solution of PDPbI4·DMSO used is 0 mg / mL, 4 mg / mL, 5 mg / mL, 8 mg / mL, and 20 mg / mL, respectively), based on the obtained device performance parameters, the preferred solution concentration of the CSV is a 5 mg / mL N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solution. Figure 11 ).
[0135] Figure 12 The performance of the best-performing PSC is shown in the above-mentioned inverted perovskite solar cell control group (without CSV seeding) and target group (with CSV seeding). Figure 12 As shown in Figure a, the open-circuit voltage (V) of the target group PSC OC The voltage is 1.17V, and the short-circuit current density (J) is... SC The value is 25.78 mA / cm. 2 ; Figure 12 b shows that the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of the target group PSC is 26.13%; and Figure 12 c shows that the fill factor (FF) of the target group PSC is as high as 86.75%. In comparison, the PCE of the control group PSC is 24.82%, V OC 1.15V, J SC 25.78 mA / cm 2 It also has a moderate FF of 83.73%. The most significant improvement is the FF, which is likely related to the reduction in series resistance and the increase in shunt resistance in the PSC device of this invention.
[0136] like Figure 12 As shown in the illustration of figure a, under sunlight illumination and at maximum power point tracking, the PCE output of the target group PSC device stabilized at 25.61% within 300 seconds, higher than the PCE output of 23.99% for the control group PSC device. This is consistent with the JV measurement results. SC In comparison, the target group of PSC devices has a current density of 25.31 mA / cm² integrated from the external quantum efficiency (EQE) spectrum. 2 ( Figure 14 ).
[0137] To further understand the improvement of PSC devices through CSV seeding, the built-in field voltage (V) was measured using Mott-Schottky curves. bi ).like Figure 15 As shown in figure a, the V of the target group PSC device bi The voltage is 1.09V, which is higher than the voltage of the control group PSC device.bi (1.06V), which allows for more efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers in the target group of PSC devices. This is also related to the high V of the target group of PSC devices. OC Consistent. Furthermore, for the target group of PSC devices, a steeper slope can be observed, indicating a reduction in charge accumulation at the PSC device interface.
[0138] In one implementation, for both the target group and the control group (without the CSV crystal layer), the Ag / 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis[N,N-di(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]-9,9'-spirodifluorene (Spiro-OMeTAD) / perovskite / CSV crystal layer / SAM / NiO crystal layer was also detected. x The space charge-limited current (SCLC) of hole-only PSC devices was used to test hole transport. For example... Figure 16 As shown, by measuring the trap filling voltage (V) TFL The calculated trap density of the target group of PSC devices is 1.26 × 10⁻⁶. 15 cm -3 The trap density of the control group PSC device was 1.90 × 10⁻⁶. 15 cm -3 This is also reflected in the ideal factor (n) id The value changed from 1.76 to 1.49 after CSV seeding. Figure 17 For the reasons mentioned above, CSV seeding enables PSC devices to operate close to J. SC The EQE of electroluminescence at the injection level was increased by 80%. Figure 15 b), thus demonstrating that the target group of PSC devices has improved interfacial carrier dynamics.
[0139] The PSC device of the present invention also exhibits excellent operational and thermal stability. Under continuous maximum power point tracking (MPPT) exposure for one day (55±5°C), the T90 lifetime (maintaining more than 90% of the initial PCE) of the PSC device of the present invention is greater than 1000 hours. In one embodiment, under continuous maximum power point tracking (MPPT) exposure for one day (55±5°C), the PSC device of the present invention can maintain 93% of its initial photoelectric conversion efficiency. In comparison, the control group PSC device (without a CSV crystal layer) can only maintain 71.3% of the initial PCE after 1000 hours. Figure 12 d). In the thermal stability test, the packaged PSC device is subjected to a temperature of 85°C in the ambient environment. For example... Figure 12 As shown in e, after 970 hours, the target group PSC devices maintained 84.2% of their initial PCE, while the control group PSC devices maintained 75.9% of their initial PCE.
[0140] In another aspect, the present invention provides an electrical device comprising the inverted perovskite solar cell of the present invention. Because the method of the present invention for preparing inverted perovskite solar cells using CSV seeding advantageously improves the diffusion and wetting of the perovskite precursor solution and the formation of microstructures at the bottom of the perovskite film, it is particularly suitable for device scaling.
[0141] In one embodiment, an inverted perovskite solar cell module is prepared using slit coating and based on the crystallization solvent synthesis method of the present invention. Figure 12 f shows an area of 49.91 cm². 2 The battery module according to the present invention, based on FTO / NiOx / CSV / perovskite / PCBM / SnO2 / ITO, achieves a PCE of 23.15%, indicating only a small efficiency reduction when the device area is scaled up. Figure 12 g).

Then, before use, the cleaned ITO glass was treated with ultraviolet ozone for 15 minutes. 10 mg NiO was added. x Nanoparticles (5-10 nm particle size, purchased from Liaoning Youxuan New Materials Technology Co., Ltd.) were dispersed in 1 mL of deionized water (or a mixed solvent of deionized water and isopropanol (IPA, purchased from Sigma) at a volume ratio of 3:1) and sonicated for 30 minutes before use. Then, 70 μL of NiO was added at 4000 rpm for 25 s. x The dispersion was spin-coated onto treated ITO glass and annealed at 140°C for 10 minutes to form a 10 nm thick NiOx hole transport layer.
