[0002] In recent years, the research on perovskite solar cells has become popular all over the world. Currently, the highest certified cell efficiency by authoritative institutions has exceeded 25%, which is higher than that of traditional thin-film solar cells. Compared with other types of solar cells, perovskite solar cells have the advantages of wide material sources, simple manufacturing processes, and low costs.

[0003] Among various perovskite solar cell technologies, printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cells have the advantages of good stability, low cost, and easy large-scale production due to their unique device structures and characteristics based on screen printing processes. The porous carbon electrode layer is a key component of printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cells. However, the adhesion of commonly used carbon electrodes is weak.

[0101] As Figure 1 shown, each group of perovskite solar cells 8 includes the transparent substrate 1 and the conductive layer 2, the dense layer 3, the porous electron transport layer 4, the porous insulating spacer layer 5, the first porous carbon electrode layer 6, the second porous carbon electrode layer 7 in one positive electrode region and one negative electrode region, and the perovskite filled in the porous electron transport layer 4, the porous insulating spacer layer 5, the first porous carbon electrode layer 6, and the second porous carbon electrode layer 7. The dense layer 3 covers the upper surface of the conductive layer 2 in the negative electrode region. The porous electron transport layer 4 covers the upper surface of the dense layer 3. The porous insulating spacer layer 5 covers the entire porous electron transport layer 4 and fills into the insulating band 9. The first porous carbon electrode layer 6 covers the upper surface of the porous insulating spacer layer 5 and the upper surface of the conductive layer 2 in the positive electrode region. The second porous carbon electrode layer 7 covers the upper surface of the first porous carbon electrode 6. The perovskite fills into the pores of the porous electron transport layer 4, the porous insulating spacer layer 5, the first porous carbon electrode layer 6, and the second porous carbon electrode layer 7.

[0102] The preparation method of the perovskite solar cell module of this embodiment is as follows:

[0103] (1) On the conductive layer 2 covering the transparent substrate 1 (with a size of 120×120 mm), 9 mutually parallel etching lines are etched using a laser to form 9 insulating bands 9, thereby separating the transparent substrate 1 and the conductive layer 2 into 9 positive electrode regions and 9 negative electrode regions, constituting a structure in which 9 groups of perovskite solar cells 8 are connected in series. The etched transparent substrate 1 and conductive layer 2 are ultrasonically cleaned successively with detergent, distilled water, and absolute ethanol.

[0104] (2) At 450 °C, a dense titanium dioxide thin film is sprayed on the upper surface of the conductive layer 2 in the negative electrode region to form the dense layer 3.

[0105] (3) On the upper surface of the dense layer 3, a porous electron transport layer slurry containing titanium dioxide is printed using a screen printing machine, dried, and then sintered at 500 °C to form the porous electron transport layer 4.

[0106] (4) A porous insulating spacer paste containing zirconia is printed on the porous electron transport layer 4 using a screen printing machine, such that the porous insulating spacer paste completely covers the porous electron transport layer 4 and fills into the insulating strip 9, and then dried to form a porous insulating spacer layer 5.

[0107] (5) A first porous carbon electrode layer paste is printed on the upper surface of the porous carbon insulating spacer layer 5 and the upper surface of the conductive layer 2 in the positive electrode region using a screen printing machine, and then dried to form a first porous carbon electrode layer 6 (with a thickness of 20 μm);

[0108] The preparation method of the first porous carbon electrode layer slurry is as follows: Graphite (with an average particle size of 10 μm), carbon black, ethyl cellulose, zirconia, and terpineol with a mass ratio of 3∶1∶0.5∶0.5∶3.5 are mixed together, and an appropriate amount of absolute ethanol is added to form a mixture; the mixture is processed in a ball mill at a rotation speed of 300 r / min for 12 h, and the absolute ethanol is evaporated using a rotary evaporator to obtain the first porous carbon electrode layer paste.

[0109] (6) A second porous carbon electrode layer paste is printed on the upper surface of the first porous carbon electrode layer 6 using a screen printing machine, such that the second porous carbon electrode layer slurry completely covers the upper surface of the first porous carbon electrode layer 6, and then dried, and then sintered at 500 °C to form a second porous carbon electrode layer 7 (with a thickness of 30 μm);

[0110] The preparation method of the second porous carbon electrode layer slurry is as follows: Graphite (with an average particle size of 1 μm), carbon black, zirconia, and absolute ethanol with a mass ratio of 3∶1∶0.5 are placed in a nano ultrasonic disperser and intermittently processed at a frequency of 20 KHz for 100 min (set to work for 15 min and stop for 10 min in one cycle, a total of 4 cycles) to form a mixture A. Then, under stirring conditions, a mixture of ethyl cellulose and terpineol (with a mass ratio of ethyl cellulose to terpineol of 0.5∶3.5) that is uniformly mixed is added to mixture A, and nano ultrasonic disperser ultrasonic intermittent treatment is performed for 100 min (frequency of 20 KHz, set to work for 15 min and stop for 10 min in one cycle, a total of 4 cycles). The absolute ethanol is evaporated using a rotary evaporator to obtain the second porous carbon electrode layer paste.

[0111] (7) The perovskite precursor solution (solute is methylammonium lead iodide, solvent is γ-butyrolactone, and the solute mass fraction is 30 wt%) is dropped at the middle of the upper surface of the second porous carbon electrode layer 7 using a drop coating method. The filling amount of the perovskite precursor solution is 0.5 ml, and it is left standing to allow the perovskite precursor solution to uniformly and fully diffuse and infiltrate into the pores of the porous electron transport layer 4, the porous insulating spacer layer 5, the first porous carbon electrode layer 6, and the second porous carbon electrode layer 7, and then annealed at 50 °C to obtain the perovskite solar cell module.

[0112] Comparative Example 1

[0113] The difference between the perovskite solar cell module of Comparative Example 1 and that of Example 1 is only that the second porous carbon electrode layer 7 is replaced by a third porous carbon electrode layer.

[0114] Steps (1) to (5) and (7) of the preparation methods of Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 are the same. The difference lies in that step (6) is replaced by step (6A), and step (6A) is specifically as follows:

[0115] (6A) Print the slurry of the third porous carbon electrode layer on the upper surface of the first porous carbon electrode layer by using a screen printing machine, so that the slurry of the third porous carbon electrode layer completely covers the upper surface of the first porous carbon electrode layer. After drying, sinter at 500 °C to form the third porous carbon electrode layer (with a thickness of 30 μm);

[0116] The slurry of the third porous carbon electrode layer is the same as that of the first porous carbon electrode slurry.

[0117] From Figure 3 It can be seen that the upper surfaces of the first porous carbon electrode layer and the second porous carbon electrode layer of the perovskite solar cell module of Example 1 are still flat after drop-coating the perovskite precursor solution, while there is obvious warping at the place where the perovskite precursor solution is drop-coated on the third carbon electrode layer of the perovskite solar cell module of Comparative Example 1.

[0118] Experimental Example

[0119] The perovskite solar cell modules of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were tested by using the current-voltage curve test method: Before the test, the solar simulator was calibrated by using a standard silicon cell of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) so that the light intensity was 1 standard sunlight (AM 1.5G, 100 mW / cm 2 ). Place the perovskite solar cell module to be tested at the center of the solar simulator, set the starting voltage to 9 V, the ending voltage to -1 V, the voltage step to -0.1 V, the effective area to 6007.5 mm 2 , the number of test times to 2 times, the period to 2 min. After the test, record the relevant data and take the average value. The obtained results are shown in Table 1.
