[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0045] The perovskite light-absorbing layer is the core component of a perovskite solar cell, and its quality and stability determine the overall performance of the solar cell. In existing technologies, to obtain high-performance perovskite solar cells, an excess of lead iodide is present in the perovskite light-absorbing layer, either within the layer itself or on its surface. While this excess lead iodide can passivate defects at the perovskite grain boundaries and positively impact device performance, lead iodide is a photosensitive material with high activity. Excess lead iodide leads to a lower ion migration activation energy in the perovskite light-absorbing layer, further resulting in lower stability and higher hysteresis in the perovskite solar cell device. This disclosure addresses the issue of instability in the perovskite light-absorbing layer by doping it with rubidium chloride in the perovskite precursor solution. The rubidium chloride reacts with excess lead iodide (PbI₂) within the perovskite to form (PbI₂)₂RbCl, which inhibits the migration of defect ions within the perovskite, aiding in the preparation of a higher-quality, more stable perovskite light-absorbing layer and improving the overall performance and stability of the perovskite solar cell.
[0046] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a rubidium chloride-doped perovskite comprises a perovskite body and (PbI2)2RbCl, wherein the XRD characteristic peak of (PbI2)2RbCl is located at 11.3°.

[0082] According to embodiments of this disclosure, the ultraviolet ozone treatment time includes 10-30 minutes, wherein 10, 20, or 30 minutes may be selected.
[0083] According to an embodiment of this disclosure, in step S303, the preparation of a perovskite light-absorbing layer on the electron transport layer includes: incorporating rubidium chloride in different molar ratios into a perovskite precursor solution, spin-coating the perovskite precursor onto the electron transport layer using a spin-coating method, and then performing an annealing treatment to obtain the perovskite light-absorbing layer.
[0084] According to embodiments of this disclosure, obtaining a perovskite light-absorbing layer using spin coating includes: a two-step spin coating method and a one-step spin coating method.
[0085] According to embodiments of this disclosure, obtaining a perovskite light-absorbing layer via a two-step spin-coating method includes:
[0086] The first step involves incorporating rubidium chloride into a lead iodide solution and spin-coating it onto an electron transport layer.

It should be noted that the specific embodiments described below are merely illustrative examples, and the scope of protection of this disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0099] Example
[0100] Example 1
[0101] The specific steps for fabricating perovskite solar cells using the two-step spin-coating method are as follows:
[0102] S1. Clean the substrate sequentially with detergent, deionized water, acetone and isopropanol (IPA);
[0103] S2. After drying the cleaned ITO glass with an N2 gun, perform UV-ozone treatment on its surface. Then, spin-coat the treated SnO2 nanoparticle solution onto the treated ITO glass to form a thin film. After thermal annealing and UV ozone treatment, an electron transport layer of tin oxide is formed.
[0104] S3. Add 5% rubidium chloride to a lead iodide solution and spin-coat it onto the electron transport layer. After a first annealing treatment, a lead iodide film is obtained. Then, spin-coat an organic salt solution onto the lead iodide film and anneal it a second time to obtain a rubidium chloride-doped perovskite light-absorbing layer.
[0105] S4. Spin-coat a phenylethyl ammonium iodide (PEAI) solution onto the surface of the perovskite light-absorbing layer to obtain a passivation layer.
[0106] S5. Spin-coat a solution of 2,2′,7,7′-tetrakis[N,N-di(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]-9,9′-spirodifluorene (Spiro-oMeTAD) onto the surface of the passivation layer to obtain a hole transport layer.
[0107] S6. Au is deposited on the surface of the hole transport layer by vacuum evaporation to obtain a metal electrode Au, thereby obtaining a perovskite solar cell.
[0108] Example 2
[0109] The preparation method in Example 2 is the same as that in Example 1, except that the molar ratio of rubidium chloride is 1%.
[0110] Example 3
[0111] The preparation method in Example 3 is the same as that in Example 1, except that the molar ratio of rubidium chloride is 10%.
[0112] Comparative Example 1
[0113] The preparation method in Comparative Example 1 is the same as that in Example 1, except that the perovskite light-absorbing layer contains only the perovskite host formamidinium lead iodine (FAPbI3).
[0114] Figure 4 This is a current-voltage characteristic curve of the perovskite solar cell in Embodiment 1 of this disclosure.
[0115] like Figure 4 As shown, current-voltage (IV) tests were performed on the perovskite solar cell prepared in Example 3, revealing a conversion efficiency of 26.1%, achieving a certified efficiency of 25.56% ± 0.82%. This demonstrates that a high-quality, stable perovskite light-absorbing layer can be easily prepared using a simple rubidium chloride doping method on the perovskite precursor solution. This improves the perovskite crystal quality, hinders the generation of elemental lead within the perovskite, and suppresses the migration of defect ions within the perovskite, thereby resulting in a high photoelectric conversion efficiency for the perovskite solar cell.
[0116] Figure 5The figures show the current-voltage characteristic curves of the effects of different rubidium chloride doping amounts on the performance of perovskite solar cells in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 of this disclosure. It can be seen from the figures that the device exhibits the best performance when the perovskite is doped with 5% mol RbCl. Too little doping will not allow more lead iodide to participate in the reaction, while too much doping will cause more (PbI2)2RbCl to adhere to the upper surface of the perovskite light-absorbing layer, affecting carrier transport, especially leading to a decrease in the device fill factor. Therefore, 5% mol doping was selected as the optimal doping amount.
[0117] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the comparison shows that the perovskite solar cell with a rubidium chloride molar ratio of 5% has a higher conversion efficiency, reaching 26.1%, which exceeds the 25% conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells reported in the prior art.
[0118] Figure 6 This is a current-voltage characteristic curve of the perovskite solar cell in Embodiment 1 of this disclosure before and after 1000 hours of placement.
[0119] like Figure 6 As shown, after 1004 hours, the forward and reverse sweeps of the current-voltage characteristic curve of the perovskite solar cell did not change significantly, indicating that the perovskite light-absorbing layer has high quality and stability, thus enabling the perovskite solar cell to have high performance and stability.
[0120] Example 4
[0121] The preparation method of Example 4 is the same as that of Example 1, except that a one-step spin coating method is used to prepare the perovskite light-absorbing layer. Specifically, 5% rubidium chloride is incorporated into a mixed solution of lead iodide solution and organic salt solution. The mixed solution is then spin-coated onto the electron transport layer. After annealing, a rubidium chloride-doped perovskite light-absorbing layer is obtained.
[0122] Figure 7 This is a current-voltage characteristic curve showing the effect of rubidium chloride doping on the performance of perovskite solar cells in Example 4 and Comparative Example 1 of this disclosure.
[0123] like Figure 7 As shown, perovskite solar cells fabricated using the one-step method exhibit higher current density and photoelectric conversion efficiency than those fabricated using undoped rubidium chloride. Although the performance of devices fabricated using the one-step method is lower than that of the two-step method due to differences in laboratory processes, RbCl still demonstrates advantages over the two-step method.
