Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of organic semiconductor thin-film solar cells, in particular to a hybrid cathode interface layer suitable for R2R organic solar cells and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Organic solar cells (OSCs) have become a promising photovoltaic technology due to their low cost, flexibility, simple device structure, and printable processing. In recent years, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic polymer solar cells has exceeded 18% thanks to the development of non-fullerene acceptor molecules and corresponding conjugated polymer donors. In OSCs, although optimizing the active layer is the key to improving photovoltaic performance, the interface layer also plays an important role in achieving high-efficiency polymer solar cells. Through interface layer modification, the ohmic contact between the photoactive layer and the electrode can be optimized, the photoactive layer morphology can be controlled to some extent, and the hole-electron collection can be improved, thereby improving the device stability. However, the current efficiency of organic polymer solar cells is very sensitive to the thickness of the interface layer material. As an electron transport layer (ETL), organic compounds in trans-OSCs devices usually only show high performance at a thickness of 5-10 nm. Even a few conjugated polymers can maintain certain performance at a thickness of 20 nm through complex doping, but it is difficult to maintain high performance beyond 20 nm, which is actually not conducive to the processing of devices using large-area technology such as blade coating, printing, and roll-to-roll technology.

[0003] Therefore, developing an interface layer material with thickness-insensitive and suitable for high-efficiency organic polymer solar cells is beneficial to the realization of large-area technology for preparing high-efficiency polymer solar cells and is expected to accelerate the application of polymer solar cells. Thickness-insensitive means that as the thickness of the interface layer increases within a certain range, the device can still maintain a high performance, and at least one of the fill factor and PCE of the cell changes little. In addition, a thick interface can effectively slow down the damage of water and oxygen to the photoactive layer in the device, thereby improving the stability of the device and being expected to be applied to industrial production mainly using roll-to-roll (R2R) processing.

[0004] Based on this, using water / alcohol-soluble polymers and small molecules is also an essential means to achieve high-efficiency organic solar cells. One of the representative conjugated materials is diimide (PDI), which was initially studied and designed as an acceptor for organic solar cells and later developed as a promising interfacial material. The group of Zhang Zhiguo used two materials PDIN and PDINO with PDI as the core and amino or amine oxide as the side chain, which has a high conductivity and is an ideal small molecule cathode interfacial material. In addition, the group of Huang Fei designed a series of n-type water / alcohol-soluble conjugated polymers with naphthalene diimide (NDI) self-doping. The electron transfer phenomenon between the polar group and the n-type conjugated main chain plays a role in improving the interface modification and electron transport performance, greatly improving the photoelectric performance of the corresponding organic solar cells. In recent years, some other hybrid cathode interfacial materials have also been reported, such as adding organic dye molecules to zinc oxide to obtain an electron transport layer (ZnO:PBI-H) with excellent photoelectric performance and mechanical performance. At the same time, adding PDIN to PNDIT-F3N obtains a hybrid cathode interfacial layer (PNDIT-F3N:PDIN) with excellent electron transport performance. The group of Tan Songting also reported a series of methods for preparing reticular non-conjugated polymers based on polyethylenimine (PEIE) and halogen atoms for quaternary ammonium reaction and applied to ETLs. When the thickness of PEIE-DBO is 9 nm, the PCE value of the trans-OSCs can reach 10.52%, and when the film thickness of PEIE-DBO is 50 nm, the PCE of the PSCs is still as high as 9.09%, showing excellent thickness tolerance. The trans-OSCs prepared by using PM6:Y6 as the photoactive layer and PEIE-DBO as the ETL have a PCE value of 15.74%, which is higher than that of the OSC based on ZnO (15.37%) under the same conditions, providing a reference for designing ETLs for printing processes. At the same time, these research results show that strengthening the charge transport performance through n-doping is an important means to achieve high-performance organic solar cells.

[0005] However, the existing cross-linkable cathode interfacial layer based on the thickness change still has a great influence on the performance of the OSCs, mainly manifested as the performance of the OSCs fluctuates greatly with the change of the thickness, which cannot meet the current needs of R2R-related research and production, therefore, it is of great significance to develop a cross-linkable hybrid cathode interfacial layer with thickness insensitivity to improve the performance of organic solar cells.

[0095] Comparative Example 1

[0096] An organic solar cell, the difference between the present comparative example and Example 1 is that the present comparative example uses PDINN as a cathode interface layer; step S1 is replaced by: 0.045 mL of PDINN-methanol solution with a concentration of 3 mg / mL was spin-coated on ITO at 2000 rpm / 30 s, and annealed at 180℃ for 10 min to obtain a cathode interface layer; other structures and preparation methods are the same as Example 1.

[0097] Comparative Example 2

[0098] An organic solar cell, the difference between the present comparative example and Example 2 is that the present comparative example uses PDINN as a cathode interface layer; step S1 is replaced by: 0.045 mL of PDINN-methanol solution with a concentration of 1 mg / mL, 2 mg / mL, 3 mg / mL, 4 mg / mL respectively was spin-coated on ITO at 2000 rpm / 30 s, and annealed at 180℃ for 10 min to obtain a PDINN cathode interface layer with a thickness of 7 nm, 17 nm, 31 nm, 43 nm respectively; other structures and preparation methods are the same as Example 2.

[0099] Test Example 1

[0100] The organic solar cells prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were tested for performance.

[0101] Test method: ​

[0102] The open circuit voltage, current density, fill factor, PCE and other indicators of the organic solar cells prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were tested under AM1.5G spectrum (100 mW / cm 2 ).

[0103] Test results:

[0104] Table 1 shows the performance test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1.

[0105] Table 1 Performance test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1

[0106]

[0107] Figure 2 The voltage-current density curve of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 is shown.

[0108] According to Table 1 and Figure 2 It can be concluded that the energy conversion efficiency, open circuit voltage, current density, fill factor of the device of Example 1 show a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the decrease of the content of PFOPy doped, and the best performance is achieved when PDINN:PFOPy is 100:2.17 (m / m). It is shown that the cathode interfacial layer prepared by PFOPy and PDINN produces a synergistic effect, and the cross-linkable property of PFOPy enhances the solvent erosion resistance of PDINN, which can optimize the energy level interface distribution between the electrode and the active layer, improve the charge separation, and improve the charge transport capacity. Its performance is significantly improved compared with the device containing only PDINN, and the energy conversion efficiency of the organic solar cell is improved.

[0114]

[0115] Figure 3 The voltage-current density curves of the hybrid cathode interfacial layer of different thicknesses in Example 2 are shown.

[0116] According to Table 2 and Figure 3 It can be concluded that the organic solar cell of the hybrid cathode interfacial layer suitable for R2R of the present application has an energy conversion efficiency of 15.259-15.857% when the thickness of the hybrid cathode interfacial layer is between 10-50 nm, and the device performance decreases very little when the thickness increases to 50 nm compared with the optimal performance. It can be seen that the PCE of the organic solar cell based on the hybrid cathode interfacial layer of the present application is less sensitive to the thickness of the interfacial layer, and is more suitable for future R2R printing preparation of high-performance OSCs, which has good application prospect.

[0122]

[0123] Figure 4 The voltage-current density curves of the PDINN cathode interfacial layer at different thicknesses in Comparative Example 2 are shown.

[0124] According to Table 3 and Figure 4 It can be concluded that the pure PDINN cathode interfacial layer has poor solvent resistance and is not thickness-insensitive. In combination with the results of Example 2, the cross-linkable property of PFOPy enhances the solvent resistance of PDINN, significantly improves the charge transport ability, and the performance is significantly improved compared with the device containing only PDINN, achieving the improvement of the energy conversion efficiency of the organic solar cell.

[0125] Test Example 4

[0130] Figure 5 Voltage-current density curves of stability of organic solar cell devices of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 are shown.

[0131] According to Table 4 and Figure 5 It can be concluded that the stability of pure PDINN cathode interface layer is relatively poor, while the stability of the hybrid device is obviously improved.

[0132] Test Example 5

[0133] In order to verify the solvent erosion resistance of PDINN, quartz substrate / PDINN:PFOPy (100:2.17, m / m) hybrid thin film and quartz substrate / pure PDINN thin film samples were prepared, then the PDINN:PFOPy hybrid thin film and the PDINN pure thin film were spin-coated with chloroform solvent twice, washed for 60s, and finally the optical absorption spectra of the thin film before and after washing with solvent chloroform were tested.

[0134] Test method: The change of thin film thickness was determined by testing the optical absorption spectra of PDINN and PDINN:PFOPy thin films before and after chloroform solvent spin-coating washing using a UV-visible spectrometer (UV-3600), and the solvent erosion resistance of the PDINN thin film was determined at the same time. The scanning wavelength of the UV-visible spectrometer (UV-3600) was 1.5 nm, and the scanning wavelength was 300-800 nm.

[0135] The test results are shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 According to Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be concluded that the solvent erosion resistance of pure PDINN thin film is poor, so it is not possible to determine the accurate thickness of the thin film, while the PDINN:PFOPy thin film after PFOPy doping modification shows strong solvent erosion resistance, which greatly improves the performance and stability of the device.
