Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Organic solar cells (OSCs) have become one of the most promising sustainable photovoltaic technologies due to their low cost, solution processability and flexibility. Non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) have advantages of good electron mobility, tunable energy levels, and good light absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region which accounts for more than 50% of solar energy. Organic solar cells based on non-fullerene acceptors have made significant breakthroughs in power conversion, with power conversion efficiency (PCE) higher than 18%.

[0003] Semi-transparent organic solar cells (ST-OSCs) have unique application prospects in self-powered greenhouses and building-integrated photovoltaic devices.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of the present application.

[0044] The purpose of the present application is to provide a semi-transparent organic solar cell with enhanced near-infrared light absorption and a preparation method thereof, which can synergistically improve the PCE and AVT of ST-OSCs, thereby obtaining optimal device light utilization efficiency (LUE).

[0045] In order to make the above objectives, characteristics and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0046] As shown in Figure 1 The semi-transparent organic solar cell with enhanced near-infrared light absorption provided by the present application comprises, from bottom to top, a substrate, an anode, a hole transport layer, an organic active layer, an electron transport layer, a metal top electrode and a near-infrared reflective layer.

[0047] The hole transport layer is a PEDOT:PSS / gold nanobipyramid film 3. Specifically, the thickness of the PEDOT:PSS / gold nanobipyramid film 3 is 40 nm. The PEDOT:PSS doped with gold nanobipyramids is used as the hole transport layer. The plasmonic effect of the gold nanobipyramids enhances the light absorption of the device in the near-infrared band.

[0048] The organic active layer is a PM6:Y6 film 4; the organic active layer is used for absorbing near-infrared light in sunlight and generating dissociated excitons.

[0050] The near-infrared reflective layer 7 is a LiF / MoO3 film; the near-infrared reflective layer 7 is used for reflecting the incident near-infrared light to the organic active layer to enable the organic active layer to absorb the near-infrared light again.

The PM6:Y6 film is deposited on the surface of the PEDOT:PSS / gold nanobipyramidal film by spin coating as the organic active layer, and the PM6:Y6 film is used for absorbing sunlight and generating dissociated excitons. The electrons and holes after the dissociation of the excitons pass through the electron and hole transport layers, respectively, and are extracted by the metal top electrode and the anode to form a photoelectric current. The metal top electrode is the cathode of the near-infrared light absorption enhanced semi-transparent organic solar cell.

[0053] The Au / Ag conductive film is a semi-transparent ultra-thin metal top electrode in the near-infrared light absorption enhanced semi-transparent organic solar cell provided by the application. The non-fullerene acceptor Y6 has strong light absorption in the near-infrared band; the gold nanobipyramidal is added to enhance the light absorption in the near-infrared band; the donor material PM6 has strong absorption in the visible light band; the semi-transparent ultra-thin metal top electrode is evaporated; and finally the near-infrared light reflective layer is combined to realize the secondary absorption of the active layer to the near-infrared light, thereby obtaining a high-performance semi-transparent organic solar cell with enhanced near-infrared light absorption.

[0054] As shown in Figure 2 The preparation method of the near-infrared light absorption enhanced semi-transparent organic solar cell provided by the application includes:

[0055] Step S1: ITO is deposited on the surface of a glass substrate by magnetron sputtering to obtain an ITO conductive film; the glass substrate and the ITO conductive film constitute an ITO substrate.

[0056] Step S2: The surface of the ITO substrate is cleaned using a cleaning agent, and the cleaned ITO substrate is placed in a high-temperature drying cabinet for drying.

[0063] Step S5: The PEDOT:PSS / gold nanobipyramid solution is spin-coated on the surface of the ITO substrate treated in the ultraviolet-ozone environment to obtain a PEDOT:PSS / gold nanobipyramid film; the ITO substrate and the PEDOT:PSS / gold nanobipyramid film constitute a PEDOT:PSS / gold nanobipyramid substrate.

[0064] Specifically, the PEDOT:PSS / gold nanobipyramid solution is spin-coated on the ITO conductive film to a thickness of 40 nm, and annealed into a film on an annealing table at 120-140°C for 20-30 minutes.

[0065] Further, PEDOT:PSS is a high-molecular polymer and usually exists in the form of an aqueous solution, and has the characteristics of high conductivity and adjustable conductivity. The conductive polymer material is composed of PEDOT and PSS, wherein PEDOT is a polymer of PEDOT (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene monomer), and PSS is polystyrene sulfonate. The water solubility of PEDOT can be greatly improved by the introduction of PSS.

[0066] Step S6: obtaining a PM6 / Y6 organic donor-acceptor blend solution according to the mass ratio of the organic donor PM6 and the organic acceptor Y6.

[0067] Specifically, the PM6 / Y6 organic donor-acceptor blend solution is configured in a mass ratio of (0.4-1):1.2. The mass ratio of PM6 is in a range of 0.4-1, and the mass ratio of Y6 is 1.2.

[0068] In addition, when the organic active layer blend solution is configured, the proportion of the donor-acceptor in the solution is adjusted, and the proportion of the donor material PM6 is reduced, so that the device has better light absorption in the near-infrared band and better transparency in the visible light band. The organic active layer uses the organic polymer PM6 as the donor and the non-fullerene small molecule Y6 as the acceptor.

[0069] Step S7: spin-coating the PM6 / Y6 organic donor-acceptor blend solution on the surface of the PEDOT:PSS / gold nanotube substrate to obtain a PM6:Y6 thin film; and the PM6:Y6 thin film and the PEDOT:PSS / gold nanotube substrate constitute a PM6:Y6 substrate.

[0070] Specifically, the PM6 / Y6 organic donor-acceptor blend solution is stirred for 24 hours to obtain a fully mixed PM6 / Y6 organic donor-acceptor blend solution.

[0080] Table 1 is a performance table of different semi-transparent organic solar cell devices

[0081]

[0082]

[0083] As shown in Table 1, the LUE of the semi-transparent device doped with gold nanobipyramids with a ratio of 0.6:1.2 and deposited with a near-infrared reflective layer reaches the highest 3.07%. The organic active layer of the present application uses a non-fullerene acceptor Y6 which has good light absorption ability in the near-infrared band. At the same time, while keeping the total concentration of the organic active layer blending solution (16 mg / ml) unchanged, the ratio of the acceptor (Y6) is increased by reducing the ratio of the donor (PM6), so that the transmittance of the semi-transparent organic solar cell provided by the present application in the visible light band is increased, thereby improving the AVT.

[0084] As shown in Table 1, the LUE of the semi-transparent device doped with gold nanobipyramids with a ratio of 0.6:1.2 and deposited with a near-infrared reflective layer reaches the highest 3.07%. The organic active layer of the present application uses a non-fullerene acceptor Y6 which has good light absorption ability in the near-infrared band. At the same time, while keeping the total concentration of the organic active layer blending solution (16 mg / ml) unchanged, the ratio of the acceptor (Y6) is increased by reducing the ratio of the donor (PM6), so that the transmittance of the semi-transparent organic solar cell provided by the present application in the visible light band is increased, thereby improving the AVT. Figure 3 As shown in Table 1, the LUE of the semi-transparent device doped with gold nanobipyramids with a ratio of 0.6:1.2 and deposited with a near-infrared reflective layer reaches the highest 3.07%. The organic active layer of the present application uses a non-fullerene acceptor Y6 which has good light absorption ability in the near-infrared band. At the same time, while keeping the total concentration of the organic active layer blending solution (16 mg / ml) unchanged, the ratio of the acceptor (Y6) is increased by reducing the ratio of the donor (PM6), so that the transmittance of the semi-transparent organic solar cell provided by the present application in the visible light band is increased, thereby improving the AVT.

[0085] Figure 4 ​As shown, unlike PM6, the absorption peak of Y6 is in the near-infrared band around 820 nm. The use of non-fullerene small molecule material Y6 as an acceptor has little effect on the visible band transmittance of the device. At the same time, since 93% of the solar energy is concentrated in the visible and near-infrared bands, of which the near-infrared band accounts for >50%, the selection of non-fullerene material Y6 as the acceptor of the organic active layer helps to improve the light absorption and conversion efficiency.

[0086] As shown in Figure 5 The extinction spectrum of the gold nanobipyramid and the absorption peak of Y6 are highly matched. Doping gold nanobipyramids in the PEDOT: PSS hole transport layer can strengthen the light absorption of the solar cell in the near-infrared band through plasmonic effect. As can be seen from the table, under the same formulation, the efficiency of the semi-transparent solar cell doped with gold nanobipyramids is better than that of the undoped semi-transparent solar cell, thereby achieving higher light energy utilization of the device.

[0087] As shown in Figure 6 The semi-transparent organic solar cell with a near-infrared reflective layer has slightly improved transmittance in the visible band and higher AVT. In the near-infrared band of 780-1000 nm, the transmittance is obviously decreased. This part of sunlight is reflected back to the organic active layer by the near-infrared reflective layer and is finally absorbed by the organic active layer for the second time.

[0088] As shown in Figure 7 Due to the near-infrared light sensitivity of the aforementioned organic active layer, the near-infrared sunlight reflected back to the organic active layer by the near-infrared reflective layer and absorbed for the second time improves the short-circuit current density of the semi-transparent organic solar cell, thereby improving the PCE and LUE of the semi-transparent organic solar cell.

[0089] The method first uses non-fullerene material Y6 as an acceptor, so that the solar cell has good light absorption in the near-infrared band. By reducing the formulation of PM6 in the active layer, the average visible light transmittance of the solar cell is increased. On this basis, by introducing gold nanobipyramids into the hole transport layer, the light absorption in the near-infrared band of the solar cell is increased by means of plasmonic effect, without affecting the AVT, thereby achieving higher PCE. Finally, the combination of the near-infrared light reflective layer realizes the secondary absorption of the near-infrared light by the active layer and the improvement of the transmittance of the device in the visible band, thereby improving the LUE to 3.07%.

[0090] The various embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be mutually referred to.

[0091] The principles and implementation manners of the present application are described by using specific examples in the present application, and the above examples are only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea; meanwhile, for the general technical personnel in the art, the specific implementation manners and application ranges will be changed according to the idea of the present application. In conclusion, the content of the present specification should not be understood as the limitation of the present application.
