Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of thin-film solar cells, and particularly relates to a flexible and recoverable color-changing thin-film solar cell and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a new type of solar cell, the perovskite solar cell has the function of converting light signals into electrical signals, and is easy to prepare by using a solution method, which can greatly reduce the growth cost. Due to the low-temperature solution process, the perovskite solar cell can be combined with a printing process to prepare a perovskite flexible solar cell with light and thin characteristics. In recent years, with the rapid development of social demand for energy, the solar cell has become an indispensable part, and the high-speed growth of perovskite materials in the field of solar cells has a very large demand and market. However, the application of the perovskite solar cell is still limited to small-area devices on a rigid substrate, which limits the commercial application range of the device.

[0003] Xudong Yang et al. in their published paper “Thermochromic halide perovskite solar cells” (Nature Materials, vol. 17, pp. 261-267, 2018) disclose a thermally induced color-changing halide perovskite solar cell. The halide perovskite, although based on the advantages of the traditional perovskite solar cell, uses a spin-coating method to prepare a CsPbI 3-x Br x thin film, forms a vertical device with a structure of glass / FTO / NiO x / CsPbI 3-x Br x / ZnO / Al or ITO, and can realize reversible conversion of a transparent non-perovskite phase (visible transparency 81.7%) for low-power output and a deep-color perovskite phase (visible transparency 35.4%) for high-power output by using heat driving and water mediation. However, this method still has the following deficiencies: since the preparation method is not improved, the efficiency of the perovskite solar cell still has room for improvement, and the rigid substrate cannot realize commercial large-area application.

[0004] Bryan A. Rosales et al. in their published paper "Reversible multicolor chromism in layered formamidinium metal halide perovskites" (Nature Communications, vol. 11, pp. 5234, 2020) disclose a multicolor reversible chromic organic halide perovskite thin film. The halide perovskite thin film is a Ruddlesden-Popper phase FA n+1 PbnX 3n+1 Material, which has the property of adjustable quantum well thickness, so as to realize the performance of multicolor adjustable thin film color. However, the deficiency of this work is that the energy conversion efficiency of the Ruddlesden-Popper phase perovskite material prepared as a perovskite solar cell is not high, which cannot maintain high energy conversion efficiency while taking into account the performance of reversible color change.
