Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a solar cell and its preparation method, a photovoltaic module, and an electricity consumption and power generation device. Background Technology
[0002] Solar cells are a new type of photovoltaic device that directly converts solar radiation energy into electrical energy using the photovoltaic effect. Taking perovskite solar cells as an example, they use perovskite material as the light-absorbing layer and have advantages such as low cost, high low-light efficiency, and wide application scenarios. They are an excellent choice for next-generation mass-produced photovoltaic cells, can alleviate the energy crisis, and are one of the key development directions for new energy sources. However, current solar cells suffer from low stability in practical applications, leading to a decline in their photoelectric performance. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a solar cell and its preparation method, a photovoltaic module, and an electricity consumption and power generation device.
[0004] A first aspect of this application provides a solar cell comprising a first electrode layer, a hole transport layer, a perovskite light-absorbing layer, and a second electrode layer, wherein the perovskite light-absorbing layer is located between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, and the hole transport layer is located between the first electrode layer and the perovskite light-absorbing layer, the hole transport layer comprising a cross-linking compound having a structural unit (Ⅰ).
[0005] (I);
[0006] Wherein, * represents the linking site; Ar is the head group, R6 is the anchoring group, and L is the linking group that connects the head group Ar and the anchoring group R6;
[0007] R1 and R3 each independently include hydrogen, halogen, substituted or unsubstituted C1~C10 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C5~C30 aryl or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl;
[0008] R2 includes one or more combinations of substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkylene groups, non-aromatic cycloalkyl groups, C2-C10 alkenyl groups, carbonyl groups, ester groups, substituted or unsubstituted C5-C30 aryl groups, or substituted and unsubstituted heteroaryl groups.
[0009] The solar cell described above in this application has a hole transport layer comprising the aforementioned cross-linked compound, wherein the linking group L and the head group Ar and anchoring group R6 connected to the linking group L form -Ar-L-R6-, which can be derived from self-assembled monomolecules and has good hole transport performance. Adjacent -Ar-L-R6- are connected by -CH(R1)-R2-CH(R3)- to form a cross-linked structure, thereby improving the stability between self-assembled monomolecules. Compared with uncross-linked self-assembled monomolecules, it is less prone to desorption, thus improving the morphology and structural stability of the hole transport layer, thereby improving the photoelectric performance and stability of the solar cell.
[0010] In some embodiments, one or more of the following features are present:
[0011] (1) R1 and R3 each independently include halogen-substituted or unsubstituted C1~C10 alkyl groups;

[0013] For R1 and R3, unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl groups exhibit better hydrophilicity than halogen-substituted C1-C10 alkyl groups, thus forming a hole transport layer with better hydrophilicity. This facilitates the solution-based spreading of the perovskite absorber layer on the surface of the hydrophilic hole transport layer, reducing or avoiding the problems of local agglomeration or uneven thickness leading to numerous pores in the perovskite film, thereby improving the quality and photoelectric properties of the perovskite absorber film. Using these groups in R2 allows for controlled reactivity, improving process operability.
[0014] In some embodiments, R2 has the following structure:
[0015] ;
[0016] Alternatively, R2 has the following structure:

[0019] m is an integer from 1 to 10;
[0020] R4 and R5 each independently include hydrogen, halogen, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C5-C30 aryl or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl; optionally, R4 and R5 each independently include halogen-substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl.

[0024] (3) The anchoring group R6 includes an oxyacid group or its salt.
[0025] Self-assembled monomolecules can be anchored on a substrate via the anchoring group R6, thus exhibiting good self-assembly film-forming properties.
[0026] In some embodiments, one or more of the following features are present:
[0027] (1) In the head group Ar, the C6~C30 aryl group includes substituted or unsubstituted phenyl, substituted or unsubstituted naphthyl, substituted or unsubstituted anthraquinone, substituted or unsubstituted phenanthryl, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or substituted or unsubstituted pyrene;
[0028] (2) In the head group Ar, the C3~C30 heteroaryl group includes substituted or unsubstituted carbazole group, substituted or unsubstituted dibenzocarbazole group, substituted or unsubstituted dibenzopyridyl group or substituted or unsubstituted naphthalimide group;

[0031] (5) The anchoring group R6 includes one or more of the following: phosphonic acid group, phosphonic acid group, sulfonic acid group, sulfinic acid group, carboxylic acid group, boric acid group and silicate group and their salts.
[0032] In some embodiments, the crosslinked compound has a structural unit (Ⅰ-1):
[0033] ;
[0034] Among them, R S1The groups include one or more of H, C1-C30 alkyl, C1-C30 alkoxy, heterocyclic groups containing 3-20 cyclic atoms, aryl groups containing 5-20 cyclic atoms, heteroaryl groups containing 5-20 cyclic atoms, and halogens.
[0035] The cross-linked compound has a structural unit (Ⅰ-1) which has superior hole transport performance.
[0036] In some embodiments, the crosslinked compound has one or more of structural units (I-11) and structural units (I-12):
[0037] (Ⅰ-11)
[0038] (Ⅰ-12)
[0039] Among them, R S1 The groups include one or more of the following: C1-C30 alkyl, C1-C30 alkoxy, heterocyclic group containing 3-20 cyclic atoms, aryl group containing 5-20 cyclic atoms, heteroaryl group containing 5-20 cyclic atoms, and halogen.
[0040] In some embodiments, one or more of the following features are present:
[0041] (1) The thickness of the hole transport layer is 0.1 nm to 10 nm;
[0042] (2) The hole transport layer further includes a self-assembled monomolecular compound existing as a single molecule; optionally, the molar ratio of the self-assembled monomolecular compound existing as a single molecule in the hole transport layer to the self-assembled monomolecular compound contained in the crosslinking compound is ≤1:1, and may be further (0.25~0.5):1.
[0043] The hole transport layer exists in a mixture of both types of compounds. For example, single-molecule self-assembled monomolecular compounds can fill the gaps between the cross-linked compounds, thereby improving the film quality and enhancing the photoelectric performance of the solar cell. Further controlling the molar ratio of single-molecule self-assembled monomolecular compounds in the hole transport layer to those contained in the cross-linked compounds within this range allows for better control of the single-molecule self-assembled monomolecular compounds filling the gaps between the cross-linked compounds, thus improving the coverage of the hole transport layer, enhancing the uniformity of the perovskite film, and improving the photoelectric performance of the solar cell. Simultaneously, the cross-linking between SAMs makes it difficult for SAMs to desorb and diffuse into the perovskite layer, which helps improve the stability of the solar cell.
[0044] A second aspect of this application provides a method for preparing a solar cell, comprising the following steps:
[0045] A first electrode layer, a hole transport layer, a perovskite light-absorbing layer, and a second electrode layer are formed in a stacked configuration.
[0046] The formation of the hole transport layer includes the following steps:
[0047] The hole transport material precursor liquid is coated into a film and then cross-linked and cured to form the hole transport layer.
[0048] The hole transport material precursor liquid comprises a self-assembled monomolecular compound and a dual nitrogen crosslinking agent; the self-assembled monomolecular compound comprises a head group Ar, an anchoring group R6, and a linking group L connecting the head group Ar and the anchoring group R6;
[0049] The dual nitrogen crosslinking agent has the structure shown in formula (1):
[0050] (1),
[0051] R1 and R3 each independently include hydrogen, halogen, substituted or unsubstituted C1~C10 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C5~C30 aryl or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl;
[0052] R2 includes one or more combinations of substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkylene groups, non-aromatic cycloalkyl groups, C2-C10 alkenyl groups, carbonyl groups, ester groups, substituted or unsubstituted C5-C30 aryl groups, or substituted and unsubstituted heteroaryl groups.
[0053] The above preparation method eliminates the need for complex steps such as introducing crosslinking sites into the self-assembled monomolecules, simplifying the process and avoiding potential changes in the hydrophilicity and energy levels of the self-assembled monomolecules. This results in a solar cell with a simple fabrication process and strong applicability to self-assembled monomolecules. Solution self-assembly for film formation is a simple, efficient, and cost-effective method.
[0054] In some embodiments, the dual nitrogen crosslinking agent has the structure shown in formula (1-a):
[0055] (1-a);
[0056] Optionally, the dual nitrogen crosslinking agent has the structure shown in formula (1-a1):
[0057] (1-a1);
[0058] Where m is an integer from 1 to 10;
[0059] R4 and R5 each independently include hydrogen, halogen, substituted or unsubstituted C1~C10 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C5~C30 aryl or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl;
[0060] Optionally, R4 and R5 each independently include halogen-substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl groups.
[0061] In some embodiments, the self-assembled monomolecular compound includes one or more of 2PACz, 4PACz, MeO-2PACz, Me-2PACz, MeO-4PACz, or Me-4PACz.
[0062] In some embodiments, one or more of the following features are present:
[0063] (1) In the hole transport material precursor solution, the molar ratio of the self-assembled monomolecular compound and the dual nitrogen crosslinking agent is (1~2):1, which can be (1.25~1.5):1;
[0064] (2) In the hole transport material precursor solution, the molar concentration of the self-assembled monomolecular compound is 0.00065 mol / mL to 0.0065 mol / mL, and can be selected as 0.0009 mol / mL to 0.004 mol / mL;
[0065] (3) The cross-linking curing is carried out under heating or light.
[0066] In some embodiments, the heating temperature is 90°C to 110°C, and / or the heating time is 10 min to 40 min;
[0067] The light source is ultraviolet light.
[0068] By controlling the molar ratio of self-assembled monomolecular compounds and diazonium crosslinking agents within this range, the diazonium crosslinking agent can be almost completely consumed, reducing the adverse effects of unreacted diazonium crosslinking agent in the hole transport layer. Furthermore, when the hole transport layer also includes self-assembled monomolecular compounds existing as single molecules, it is also beneficial to control the proportion of these single-molecule self-assembled monomolecular compounds filling the gaps between the crosslinking compounds, thereby improving coverage, enhancing the uniformity of perovskite film formation, and improving the photoelectric performance of the solar cell. Simultaneously, the crosslinking between SAMs makes it difficult for SAMs to desorb and diffuse into the perovskite layer, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the solar cell.

[0103] Solar cells, also known as photovoltaic cells, are devices that directly convert light energy into electrical energy through the photoelectric effect or photochemical effect. Perovskite solar cells are solar cells that utilize perovskite material as the light-absorbing material. The photoelectric conversion principle of perovskite solar cells is as follows: Incident light (e.g., sunlight) enters the device and reaches the perovskite light-absorbing layer, where it is absorbed. Under the excitation of the incident light, the perovskite light-absorbing layer generates electron-hole pairs. Under the action of an electric field, the holes and electrons separate, with electrons transferring to one electrode and holes transferring to the other. Subsequently, a circuit is formed through an external circuit, which can be used to drive a load.
[0104] Compared with other solar cells, solar cells using perovskite light-absorbing layers have higher theoretical photoelectric conversion efficiency. For solar cells with perovskite light-absorbing layers, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are generally placed on the lower surface of the perovskite layer as hole transport layers to passivate the lower surface of the perovskite layer and extract and transport holes. However, in practical applications, their photoelectric performance and stability are still relatively low.
[0105] Specifically, self-assembled monomolecular compounds have poor stability under photothermal conditions because they are small molecules and are subject to desorption, which leads to changes in the morphology of the self-assembled monolayer, and consequently causes a decrease in the photoelectric performance and stability of solar cells.
[0106] Based on this, one embodiment of this application provides a solar cell, including a first electrode layer, a hole transport layer, a perovskite light-absorbing layer, and a second electrode layer. The perovskite light-absorbing layer is located between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, and the hole transport layer is located between the first electrode layer and the perovskite light-absorbing layer. The hole transport layer includes a crosslinking compound. The crosslinking compound has structural unit (Ⅰ):
[0107] (I);
[0108] Wherein, * represents the linking site; Ar is the head group, R6 is the anchoring group, and L is the linking group that connects the head group Ar and the anchoring group R6;
[0109] R1 and R3 each independently include hydrogen, halogen, substituted or unsubstituted C1~C10 alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C5~C30 aryl or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl;
[0110] R2 includes one or more combinations of substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkylene groups, non-aromatic cycloalkyl groups, C2-C10 alkenyl groups, carbonyl groups, ester groups, substituted or unsubstituted C5-C30 aryl groups, or substituted and unsubstituted heteroaryl groups.
[0111] The solar cell described above in this application has a hole transport layer comprising the aforementioned cross-linked compound, wherein the linking group L and the head group Ar and anchoring group R6 connected to the linking group L form -Ar-L-R6-, which can be derived from self-assembled monomolecules and has good hole transport performance. Adjacent -Ar-L-R6- are connected by -CH(R1)-R2-CH(R3)- to form a cross-linked structure, thereby improving the stability between self-assembled monomolecules. Compared with uncross-linked self-assembled monomolecules, it is less prone to desorption, thus improving the morphology and structural stability of the hole transport layer, thereby improving the photoelectric performance and stability of the solar cell.
[0112] The structural formula of -CH(R1)-R2-CH(R3)- is shown below:
[0113] .
[0114] The adjacent -Ar-L-R6- groups of the above crosslinked compounds are connected by -CH(R1)-R2-CH(R3)- to form the crosslinked structural units shown below:

[0116] Furthermore, since adjacent -Ar-L-R6- forms a cross-linked structure through -CH(R1)-R2-CH(R3)-, and -CH(R1)-R2-CH(R3)- does not form a strong conjugation with the adjacent -Ar-L-R6-, the energy level after cross-linking is basically unchanged compared to Ar-L-R6, thus avoiding the problem of energy level mismatch in Ar-L-R6 after cross-linking.
[0117] The solar cell described in this application has a hole transport layer obtained by crosslinking a self-assembled monomolecular compound with a diazo crosslinking agent. The self-assembled monomolecular compound has the structure Ar-L-R6. The diazo crosslinking agent includes two bisacrididine ring groups. The bisacrididine ring groups in the diazo crosslinking agent can act on CH bonds, thus it can directly react with the CH bonds in the self-assembled monomolecular compound. The diazo crosslinking agent achieves crosslinking by reacting the two bisacrididine ring groups with two Ar-L-R6 molecules respectively, without the need for complex steps such as introducing crosslinking sites into the self-assembled monomolecular compound. This simplifies the process and avoids problems such as changes in the hydrophilicity and energy levels of the self-assembled monomolecular compound. The solar cell described above not only has a simple fabrication process but also has strong applicability to self-assembled monomolecular compounds. Understandably, the self-assembled monomolecular compound includes at least one CH bond.
[0118] The structure and composition of the above-mentioned cross-linked compounds can be detected by nuclear magnetic resonance mass spectrometry.

[0124] In some embodiments, R1 and R3 each independently comprise substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl groups, and further comprise halogen-substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl groups. R1 and R3 can be the same or different. For R1 and R3, unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl groups have better hydrophilicity than halogen-substituted C1-C10 alkyl groups, thus forming a hole transport layer with better hydrophilicity. This facilitates the solution-based spreading of the perovskite light-absorbing layer on the surface of the hole transport layer with better hydrophilicity, reducing or avoiding the problems of local agglomeration or uneven thickness forming numerous pores in the perovskite film, which is beneficial to improving the quality and photoelectric performance of the perovskite light-absorbing layer film.

The self-assembled monomolecular compound can be anchored on a substrate via the anchoring group R6, thus exhibiting good self-assembly film-forming properties. It then undergoes cross-linking and curing with a dual-nitrogen cross-linking agent to form the aforementioned hole transport layer.
[0135] In this application, Ar, L, and R6 in structural unit (Ⅰ) have the same definitions as in the self-assembled monomolecular compound Ar-L-R6.

[0140] Furthermore, R6 includes one or more of phosphonic acid groups, hypophosphonic acid groups, carboxylic acid groups, and their salts, which is more conducive to the bonding between the self-assembled monomolecular compound and the first electrode layer.

The heteroatom in the heteroaryl group comprises one or more of N, O, and S, for example, at least N. Further, the linking group L can be linked to the anchoring group R6 via a heteroatom in the heteroaryl group.
[0143] Understandably, the linking group L is the linking group in the self-assembled single-molecule compound (SAM molecule), which mainly plays the role of spacer and support, like a "bridge" connecting the anchoring group R6 and the head group Ar.
[0144] In some embodiments, L comprises a single bond, a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkylene group, an alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C5-C30 aryl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic aryl group. It is understood that when L is a single bond, it means that R6 and Ar are directly linked by a single bond. Further, L comprises a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkylene group, an alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C5-C30 aryl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic aryl group.

[0181] In some embodiments, at least one of the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer is a transparent electrode for light incident. For example... Figure 1 As shown, in one example, the solar cell 1 also includes a substrate 11. A first electrode layer 12 is disposed on the substrate 11; furthermore, both the first electrode layer 12 and the substrate 11 are made of transparent material, and accordingly, the solar cell is a reverse pin cell.

[0195] Another embodiment of this application provides a method for fabricating a solar cell, which can be used to fabricate any of the solar cells described above. The method includes the following steps:
[0196] A first electrode layer, a hole transport layer, a perovskite light-absorbing layer, and a second electrode layer are formed in a stacked configuration.
[0197] The formation of the hole transport layer includes the following steps:
[0198] A hole transport material precursor liquid is coated into a film and then crosslinked and cured to form the hole transport layer; wherein, the hole transport material precursor liquid includes a self-assembled monomolecular compound and a dual nitrogen crosslinking agent.
[0199] The solar cells prepared by the above method have the same hole transport layer as the solar cells described above, and therefore have at least the same advantages as the solar cells described above, which will not be repeated here.
[0200] Furthermore, the above preparation method does not require complex steps such as introducing crosslinking sites into the self-assembled monomolecule compound, which not only simplifies the process, but also avoids the problem of possible changes in the hydrophilicity and energy level of the self-assembled monomolecule compound. The above solar cell not only has a simple preparation process, but also has strong applicability to self-assembled monomolecule compounds.
[0201] The solution self-assembly method for forming films is simple, efficient, and cost-effective. The methods for coating the mixed solution into films include, but are not limited to, any one of spin coating, spraying, blade coating, and slot coating.
[0202] As described above, the structure of the self-assembled monomolecular compound is Ar-L-R6. In this application, Ar, L, and R6 in structural unit (Ⅰ) have the same definitions as in the self-assembled monomolecular compound Ar-L-R6.
[0203] As described above, the aforementioned dual-nitrogen crosslinking agent has the structure shown in formula (1):
[0204] (1).
[0205] In this application, R1, R2, and R3 in structural unit (Ⅰ) have the same definitions as in the dual nitrogen crosslinking agent.
[0206] The aforementioned dual-nitrogen crosslinking agent can decompose under relatively mild conditions such as heating or light to form two free carbenes, which then react with the carbon-hydrogen bonds on the Ar groups in the self-assembled monomolecular compound to form the aforementioned structural unit (Ⅰ).
[0207] In some embodiments, the dual nitrogen crosslinking agent has the structure shown in formula (1-a):
[0208]
[0209] The definitions of R4 and R5 are the same as above. Furthermore, the dual-nitrogen crosslinking agent has the structure shown in formula (1-a1):
[0210] (1-a1).
[0211] As an example, the dual nitrogen crosslinking agent includes one or more compounds shown in formulas (11) to (12):
[0212] (11)
[0213] (12).
[0214] The structure of self-assembled monomolecules has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.
[0215] As an example, taking the hole transport layer as a crosslinking agent using 4PACz as SAM and the dual nitrogen crosslinking agent shown in formula (1) for crosslinking reaction, the reaction mechanism is as follows:
[0216] .
[0217] As an example, taking the hole transport layer as a crosslinking reaction using Me-4PACz as SAM and the dual nitrogen crosslinking agent shown in formula (1), the reaction mechanism is as follows:
[0218] .
[0219] Furthermore, the hole transport material precursor solution also includes a solvent, in which a self-assembled monomolecular compound and a dual nitrogen crosslinking agent are dissolved to form the hole transport material precursor solution.
[0220] In some embodiments, the solvent includes one or more of methanol, isopropanol, ethanol, dimethylformamide (DMF), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
[0221] In some embodiments, the amount of dinitrogen crosslinking agent added to the hole transport material precursor solution is generally small to reduce the adverse effects of unreacted dinitrogen crosslinking agent in the hole transport layer. In some embodiments, the hole transport layer also includes a self-assembled monomolecular compound existing as a single molecule. Further, this self-assembled monomolecular compound existing as a single molecule (or an uncrosslinked self-assembled monomolecular compound) is mixed with the aforementioned crosslinking compound, and both can be attached to the substrate by the anchoring group R6. The type of self-assembled monomolecular compound existing as a single molecule may be the same as or different from the type of self-assembled monomolecular compound in the crosslinking compound.
[0222] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of self-assembled monomolecular compounds and diazonium crosslinking agents in the hole transport material precursor solution is (1~2):1, optionally (1.25~1.5):1. As an example, the diazonium crosslinking agent can be 1:1, 1.25:1, 1.5:1, 1.75:1, 2:1, or any of the above values within this range. Controlling the molar ratio of self-assembled monomolecular compounds and diazonium crosslinking agents within this range allows for the near-complete consumption of the diazonium crosslinking agent, reducing the adverse effects of unreacted diazonium crosslinking agent in the hole transport layer. Furthermore, when the hole transport layer also includes self-assembled monomolecular compounds existing as single molecules, it is beneficial to control the proportion of these single molecules filling the gaps between the crosslinking compounds, thereby improving coverage, enhancing the uniformity of perovskite film formation, and improving the photoelectric performance of the solar cell. Simultaneously, the crosslinking between SAMs makes it difficult for SAMs to desorb and diffuse into the perovskite layer, which is beneficial for improving the stability of the solar cell.
[0223] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the self-assembled monomolecular compound existing as a single molecule in the hole transport layer to the self-assembled monomolecular compound contained in the crosslinking compound is (0~1):1, further ≤1:1, and further possibly (0.25~0.5):1. As an example, the dual-nitrogen crosslinking agent can be 0, 0.1:1, 0.15:1, 0.25:1, 0.3:1, 0.4:1, 0.5:1, or any of the above values as endpoints. By controlling the molar ratio of the self-assembled monomolecular compound and the dual-nitrogen crosslinking agent in the hole transport material precursor liquid, the molar ratio of the self-assembled monomolecular compound existing as a single molecule in the hole transport layer to the self-assembled monomolecular compound contained in the crosslinking compound can be controlled.

[0260] I. Device Fabrication
[0261] The manufacturer of the dual nitrogen crosslinking agents of formula (11) and formula (12) used in the examples is Beijing Greenman Technology Co., Ltd.
[0262] Example 1
[0263] A method for fabricating a solar cell device is as follows:
[0264] 1) Preparation of FTO conductive glass (including the first electrode layer with substrate): A glass cleaning rack containing transparent glass was placed in an ultrasonic cleaner and cleaned for 20 min each with surfactant (2% Triton X-100 deionized water), deionized water, isopropanol, and anhydrous ethanol. Finally, it was dried in an oven at 70°C for 5 min. The transparent glass was then treated with a UV-O3 cleaner under a fume hood for 20 min and cooled to room temperature for later use.
[0265] 2) Preparation of the hole transport layer: SAM material (i.e., self-assembled monomolecular compounds, specific types are shown in Table 1) was weighed, and then a diazonium crosslinking agent (specific types are shown in Table 1) was added. The mixture was dispersed in a certain volume of DMSO solvent and shaken for 2 hours to completely dissolve the SAM material, forming a hole transport material precursor solution. The molar concentrations of SAM material and diazonium crosslinking agent were 0.001629 mol / mL and 0.001086 mol / mL, respectively. 150 μL of the hole transport material precursor solution was spin-coated at 4000 rpm / s for 25 seconds onto the conductive surface of an FTO transparent conductive glass. After spin-coating, the glass was placed on a hot plate and annealed at 100℃ for 10 minutes, then naturally cooled to room temperature to obtain a hole transport layer with a thickness of 1 nm.
[0266] 3) Preparation of the perovskite light-absorbing layer: 480.31 mg formamidinium hydroiodate (FAI), 31.39 mg methylammonium chloride (MAI), 6.38 mg methylammonium bromide (MABr), 38.97 mg cesium iodide (CsI), 22.57 mg lead bromide (PbBr2), and 1452.18 mg lead iodide (PbI2) were dissolved in 2 mL of a mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (DMF to DMSO volume ratio of 4:1) to obtain a perovskite precursor solution. 150 μL of the perovskite precursor solution was spin-coated onto the hole transport layer at a rotation speed of 1000 rpm / s (20 s) + 5000 rpm / s (30 s) for 45 s. Ten s before the end of the spin-coating, 200 μL of chlorobenzene was rapidly added dropwise to regulate perovskite crystallization. After spin coating, the material was annealed at 150°C for 20 minutes to obtain a uniform, dense, smooth, and transparent perovskite light-absorbing layer (FA) with a thickness of 550 nm. 0.98 MA 0.02 ) 0.95 Cs 0.05 Pb(I 0.98 Br 0.02 )3).
[0267] 4) Fabrication of electron transport layer / hole blocking layer: Place the device obtained in step 3) into the evaporation device and place it in the evaporation machine to sequentially prepare a 30nm thick C60 layer and a 5nm thick BCP layer on the perovskite light-absorbing layer.
[0268] 5) Fabrication of the metal counter electrode (second electrode layer): On the BCP layer of the device obtained in step 4), a 140 nm thick layer of metallic copper (Cu) is deposited as the second electrode layer. Before deposition, a vacuum of 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ is first applied. -4Pa, then pre-deposited for 5 minutes. During the deposition process, when the copper thickness is in the 0-20 nm range, the Cu evaporation rate is approximately 0.1 A / s; when the copper thickness is in the 20 nm-140 nm range, the Cu evaporation rate is approximately 1 A / s.
[0269] Example 2
[0270] Example 2 is basically the same as Example 1, except that the hole transport layer is prepared differently, specifically the type of dual nitrogen crosslinking agent used, while the molar amount remains the same, as shown in Table 1.
[0271] Examples 3-5
[0272] Examples 3-5 are basically the same as Example 1, except that the hole transport layer is prepared differently, specifically the amount of the dual nitrogen crosslinking agent used is different (the volume of the solvent remains unchanged), which makes the molar ratio K of the hole transport material precursor liquid self-assembled monomolecular compound and the dual nitrogen crosslinking agent different, as shown in Table 1.
[0273] Comparative Example 1
[0274] It is basically the same as Example 1, except that, 2) the preparation of the hole transport layer is different. Specifically, the double nitrogen crosslinking agent is omitted from the hole transport layer material in Comparative Example 1.
[0275] Example 6
[0276] Example 6 is basically the same as Example 1, except that the hole transport layer is prepared differently, specifically the type of SAM material (i.e., self-assembled single-molecule compound) used, while the molar amount remains the same, as shown in Table 1.
[0277] Comparative Example 2
[0278] It is basically the same as Example 6, except that the preparation of the hole transport layer is different in 2). Specifically, the double nitrogen crosslinking agent is omitted in the hole transport layer of Comparative Example 1.
[0279] II. Photoelectric Performance Testing
[0280] Under sunlight and nitrogen protection, the cell was heated to 85°C and subjected to maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to test the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of the perovskite solar cell.
[0281] The specific operation is as follows. A 600*600mm long-life LED aging light source was used, and the light source intensity was calibrated to one sun. A hot plate was used to heat the battery. The fixture's built-in temperature and humidity acquisition module displayed a temperature of 85℃ and humidity <5%RH, at which point the MPPT tracking test began. The initial photoelectric conversion efficiency with an MPPT tracking time of 0 was obtained (as shown in Table 1), and the photoelectric conversion efficiency after 160 hours of MPPT tracking at 85℃ was also obtained. Furthermore, the efficiency retention rate after 160 hours of MPPT tracking at 85℃ was obtained, as shown in Table 1. The PCE curves for Example 2 and Comparative Example 1 from 0 to 160 hours of MPPT tracking time are shown in Table 1. Figure 2 Curves a and curve b are shown in the figure.
[0282] Among them, using an AAA-grade solar simulator under standard test conditions: incident light power of 100mW / cm² 2 The photoelectric performance parameters of the tested battery were measured using a spectral energy of AM1.5G, and the P values were obtained. out P in V mpp J mpp V oc J sc Then, calculate the PCE based on the following formula:
[0283] PCE=P out / P in ;
[0284] =V oc ×J sc ×[(V mpp ×J mpp ) / (V oc ×J sc )] / P in ;
[0285] =V oc ×J sc ×FF / P in ;
[0286] Among them, P in P out V mpp J mpp V oc J sc FF represent: incident light power, operating output power of the battery under test, voltage at the maximum power point of the battery under test, current at the maximum power point of the battery under test, open circuit voltage, short circuit current, and fill factor, respectively.
[0287] The following table shows some parameters and performance results of the solar cells in each embodiment and comparative example. In the table, the molar ratio K represents the molar ratio of the self-assembled monomolecular compound and the dual-nitrogen crosslinking agent in the hole transport layer.
[0288] Table 1
[0289]
[0290] As can be seen from the comparison of the examples and comparative examples in the table above, Comparative Examples 1 and 2, which use a single uncrosslinked self-assembled monomolecular compound, have lower photoelectric conversion efficiency and efficiency retention. A comparison of Comparative Example 1 with Examples 1-5, and a comparison of Comparative Example 2 with Example 6, shows that this application, by using a dual-nitrogen crosslinking agent to crosslink the self-assembled monomolecular compound in the hole transport layer, can effectively improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and efficiency retention of the solar cell, indicating an improvement in its photoelectric performance and stability.
[0291] As demonstrated in Examples 1-5, the solar cells fabricated using a molar ratio of self-assembled monomolecular compound and diazo crosslinking agent in the hole transport layer of this application (1-2):1 all exhibit good photoelectric conversion efficiency. Further controlling the molar ratio to (1.25-1.5):1 results in even better photoelectric conversion efficiency. Compared to Example 1, Example 2 demonstrates superior photoelectric conversion efficiency and efficiency retention because the diazo crosslinking agent is not replaced by fluorine. This facilitates the solution-based spreading of the perovskite light-absorbing layer on the hydrophilic hole transport layer surface, thereby improving the quality and photoelectric performance of the perovskite light-absorbing layer film.
[0292] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0293] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims, and the specification and drawings can be used to interpret the scope of the claims.
