Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of perovskite solar cells, and more specifically, to perovskite solar cells and their fabrication methods. Background Technology
[0002] Due to its low binding energy, tunable direct bandgap of 1.2 eV–1.6 eV, long carrier lifetime, and long diffusion length, perovskite has become a highly anticipated material in optoelectronic devices, including solar cells. Perovskite solar cells are relatively simple to fabricate and have low cost. Furthermore, they exhibit high photoelectric conversion efficiency, leading many researchers to consider them promising new types of solar cells, comparable to commercially available crystalline silicon and CdTe cells.
[0003] The stability of perovskite solar cells has long been criticized, and they exhibit a significant hysteresis effect. The most commonly used electron transport layer for inverted perovskite solar cells is fullerene and its derivatives. However, these materials are expensive, have poor long-term stability in water and oxygen, and have limited preparation methods, making them unsuitable for industrial production.

[0028] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0029] In one aspect of the invention, a perovskite solar cell is provided. According to an embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 1 A perovskite solar cell may include a conductive glass 100, a perovskite light-absorbing layer 200, a first electron transport layer 300, and a metal electrode 400. The conductive glass 100 includes a glass substrate 110 and a non-metallic electrode 120 disposed on the surface of the glass substrate 110. The perovskite light-absorbing layer 200 is disposed on the side of the non-metallic electrode 120 away from the glass substrate 110. The first electron transport layer 300 is disposed on the side of the perovskite light-absorbing layer 200 away from the conductive glass 100. The metal electrode 400 is disposed on the side of the first electron transport layer 300 away from the conductive glass 100. The first electron transport layer 300 is made of a metal oxide doped with a metal element, including at least one of SnO2, WO3, TiO2, ZnO, ZTO, MZO, and Nb2O5, and the metal element including at least one of W, Mo, Nb, Mn, and Y. Therefore, this perovskite solar cell effectively improves the electron mobility of the first electron transport layer, reduces electron transport resistance, and increases the short-circuit current by doping the metal oxide with metal elements. Doping with metal elements shifts the conduction band of the metal oxide, resulting in good band matching between the first electron transport layer material and the light-absorbing layer. This allows for the construction of a larger built-in electric field, reducing the electron barrier height and increasing the open-circuit voltage of the cell. Metal doping of the metal oxide also reduces electron-hole recombination at the interface between the first electron transport layer and the light-absorbing layer, effectively reducing hysteresis and improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell. Furthermore, the first electron transport layer is formed from inorganic materials, exhibiting good stability and low cost, which is beneficial for improving the stability of the cell and facilitating the large-scale production of perovskite solar cells.

[0032] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the first electron transport layer 300 can be 10nm-30nm, for example, 10nm, 15nm, 20nm, 25nm, 30nm, etc. Thus, the first electron transport layer has a suitable thickness, which is beneficial to further improve the performance of the electron transport layer.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the perovskite light-absorbing layer can be 500nm-600nm, for example, 500nm, 530nm, 550nm, 580nm, 600nm, etc. Therefore, the perovskite light-absorbing layer has a suitable thickness, which is beneficial to further improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell.
[0037] According to embodiments of the present invention, the metal electrode can be made of Au, Al, or Cu, thereby giving the metal electrode excellent conductivity, which is beneficial for further improving the performance of perovskite solar cells.
[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the metal electrode can be 80nm-90nm, for example, 80nm, 82nm, 85nm, 87nm, 90nm, etc. Therefore, the metal electrode has good light absorption, low resistance, and is not easy to break the circuit, which can improve the utilization rate of light by the battery, and thus help to further improve the performance of perovskite solar cells.

That is, the material of the second electron transport layer 600 may be SnO2, WO3, TiO2, ZnO, ZTO, MZO, or Nb2O5, or the second electron transport layer 600 may be composed of two or more of SnO2, WO3, TiO2, ZnO, ZTO, MZO, and Nb2O5. Therefore, the second electron transport layer formed by the above-mentioned materials has good electron mobility and can form good ohmic contact with the metal electrode, thereby further promoting electron transport to the metal electrode. According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the second electron transport layer 600 can be 10nm-20nm, for example, 10nm, 12nm, 15nm, 17nm, 20nm, etc., which is beneficial to further improve the overall performance of the battery.

Figure 2 The hole transport layer 500 is disposed between the non-metallic electrode 120 and the perovskite light-absorbing layer 200. The hole transport layer 500 can be made of Cu2O, CuI or nickel oxide, which allows the hole transport rate to be more matched with the electron transport rate, thereby further improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell. Moreover, the above materials are all inorganic, low in cost and with good stability.
[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the hole transport layer 500 can be 20nm-30nm, for example, 20nm, 23nm, 25nm, 27nm, 30nm, etc. Thus, by setting the thickness of the hole transport layer within the above range, the matching degree of the transport rates of holes and electrons can be further improved, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell.
[0042] In summary, the perovskite solar cell proposed in this invention uses metal oxide as the main material of the first electron transport layer and doespes it with metal materials, which significantly improves the electron mobility of the metal oxide film.

Using metal oxides to form a second electron transport layer can further promote electron transport.

Among them, the sample in Example 4 has the highest efficiency and the best performance.
[0085] The photoelectric conversion efficiency test results of Examples 7-9 and Comparative Example 1 are as follows: Figure 7As shown, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of Examples 7 to 9 is higher than that of Comparative Example 1. Among them, the sample of Example 7 has the highest efficiency and the best performance.
[0086] The test results of high temperature and high humidity stability tests for Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 are as follows: Figure 8 As shown in the figures, the experimental results indicate that under high temperature and high humidity test conditions, the high temperature and high humidity stability of the battery samples in Examples 1-3 is superior to that of Comparative Example 1. Among them, the battery sample in Example 1 exhibits the lowest efficiency degradation and the best battery stability. The test results of the photo-aging stability of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in the figures. Figure 9 As shown in the experimental results, under simulated sunlight testing conditions, the stability of the battery samples in Examples 1-3 is superior to that in Comparative Example 1. Among them, the battery sample in Example 1 exhibits the lowest efficiency degradation and the best battery stability. The battery samples in Examples 1-3 demonstrate better stability under different aging conditions than the sample in Comparative Example 1. The use of electron beam deposition to form the first and second electron transport layers is particularly beneficial for improving the overall stability of the battery and extending its lifespan. Furthermore, the battery samples in Examples 4-9 also exhibit high high-temperature and high-humidity stability as well as photo-aging stability.
