Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of optoelectronic device technology, and in particular to a perovskite optoelectronic device structure, its fabrication method, and a perovskite solar cell. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the development of perovskite solar cell technology has been rapid, with the efficiency of laboratory-sized cells increasing from 3.8% to 25.7%. Perovskite solar cells, with their superior photovoltaic performance, are gaining increasing favor from researchers and companies. Currently, several companies are committed to mass-producing perovskite solar cells, aiming to expedite the commercial application of perovskite solar cells and modules.
[0003] Perovskite solar cells are mainly divided into upright and inverted structures. Inverted perovskite solar cells are considered the mainstream technology for industrialization due to their better stability. In inverted structures, the commonly used hole transport layer materials fall into two main categories: one is organic materials based on PTAA, and the other is materials based on NiO. x It is primarily an inorganic material. Due to the high cost of PTAA, an organic material, and the poor wettability of perovskite solutions on PTAA, its application as a hole transport layer material in the mass production of perovskite solar cells and modules is limited.
[0004] NiO x Although NiO is considered by many researchers in the industry to be an important hole transport layer material for achieving mass production of perovskites due to its good electrical conductivity and mobility, as well as its simple preparation method, further research has revealed that improving NiO... x Chinese Ni 3+ The content of [specific element] can effectively reduce O vacancies, increase Ni vacancies, and effectively improve NiO [performance / quality]. x The conductivity of the perovskite solar cells and modules is improved, thereby increasing their efficiency.
[0005] But due to Ni 3+ The site is both a proton base and a Lewis acid. During the contact process with the perovskite photosensitive layer, as a proton base, it causes the organic amine in the perovskite photosensitive layer to deprotonate. At the same time, as a Lewis acid, it oxidizes iodide ions. Ultimately, the NiOx and perovskite photosensitive layer interface undergoes a redox reaction, which leads to instability between the perovskite photosensitive layer and the perovskite interface. This is detrimental to the photovoltaic performance and long-term stability of perovskite solar cells and modules.
[0006] NiO x Chinese Ni 3+ The characteristics of perovskite lead to contradictory problems in the preparation of efficient and stable perovskite solar cells and modules.
[0007] For example, one type of existing technology is to use NiO x Sintering or NiO x Ultraviolet ozone treatment effectively improves NiO x Chinese Ni 3+ The content of NiO was thus increased, thereby increasing the content of NiO. x The conductivity of N increases the efficiency of corresponding batteries and components, but due to N 3+ The problem of redox reactions with the perovskite photosensitive layer remains unresolved, thus sacrificing the stability of the corresponding perovskite solar cells and modules.
[0008] Another type of existing technology is based on NiO. x The surface is coated with a non-conductive organic polymer layer. Although the insertion of this non-conductive organic polymer layer can effectively improve the stability of perovskite solar cells and modules, its non-conductive nature limits its thickness and increases the series resistance of the entire perovskite solar cell and module. As a result, the efficiency of perovskite solar cells and modules prepared by this technology is limited, sacrificing the efficiency of the corresponding perovskite solar cells and modules.
[0009] Therefore, the existing solutions do not fundamentally solve the NiO problem. x Due to Ni 3+ The inherent contradictions in the properties of NiO. To expedite the industrialization of perovskite solar cells, it is necessary to address the issue of improving NiO properties. x The conductivity and prevention of NiO x An effective solution is proposed to address the two contradictory problems of interfacial reactions with perovskites.

[0030] Moreover, relational terms such as “first” and “second” are used merely to distinguish one component or method step from another that has the same name, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these components or method steps.
[0031] See Figure 1 This invention provides a perovskite optoelectronic device structure 110, comprising a hole transport layer 112, a perovskite photosensitive layer 111, and an electron transport layer 113 stacked along a specified direction.

The carrier glass 140 can be any base glass used in conductive glass applications. Preferably, the thickness of the carrier glass 140 is 1.1 mm to 2.5 mm. This ensures sufficient mechanical load-bearing capacity while reducing light absorption by the carrier glass 140, allowing more light to enter the battery's main structure and thus increasing the battery's light absorption and utilization rate.
[0056] The main function of both transparent conductive thin film electrodes and metal electrodes is to conduct photocurrent.
[0057] In this embodiment, the transparent conductive film electrode is an FTO electrode, also known as a fluorine-doped tin oxide electrode. This enhances the absorption of ultraviolet light by the transparent conductive film electrode, further reducing the amount of ultraviolet light entering the electron transport layer 113. Furthermore, the FTO electrode also has the advantages of low resistivity and stable chemical properties.

[0058] In this embodiment, the metal electrode is preferably a silver (Ag) electrode. Of course, it is understood that the metal electrode 130 is not limited to a silver (Ag) electrode, but can also be an electrode made of other metals, such as a gold (Au) electrode or an aluminum (Al) electrode.
[0059] NiOx The main function of the hole transport layer 112 is to transport holes, while also blocking electrons. Preferably, the thickness of the hole transport layer 112 is 20–100 nm. This ensures film quality, reduces defects in the hole transport layer 112, and also ensures low internal series resistance, which is beneficial for increasing short-circuit current.

Furthermore, the photoconductive thin film 114 effectively isolates NiO. x Direct contact with the perovskite photosensitive layer 111 effectively prevents NiO. x It undergoes a redox reaction with the perovskite photosensitive layer 111, increasing the efficiency of NiO. x The stability of the interface with the perovskite photosensitive layer 111 is improved, thereby enhancing the stability of the perovskite solar cell and module.
[0061] The main function of the electron transport layer 113 is to transport electrons while also blocking holes, thereby reducing electron-hole recombination and selectively transporting electrons. Preferably, the thickness of the electron transport layer 113 is 40–100 nm. This ensures film quality, reduces defects during electron transport, and maintains low internal series resistance, which is beneficial for increasing short-circuit current. In this embodiment, the electron transport layer 113 is preferably a PCBM, which can be directly coated on the perovskite photosensitive layer 111.
[0062] In one embodiment, the photoconductive thin film 114 is made of NiO. x Between the hole transport layer 112 and the perovskite photosensitive layer 111.
[0063] In one embodiment, the photoconductive thin film 114 is prepared by coating a NiO film with a precursor solution consisting of photoconductive materials phthalocyanine / porphyrin and their derivatives dissolved in DMF. x The above is heated at 80℃~120℃ for 5~15min to form a film. Under this solvent, phthalocyanine / porphyrin and its derivative photoconductive materials can be well dissolved. Of course, other solvents that can fully dissolve photoconductive materials and can be formed into films by heating annealing or anti-solvent methods are also acceptable.
[0064] In one embodiment, the concentration of the photoconductive material solution is 2 mg / mL to 10 mg / mL. The photoconductive layer prepared at this concentration can effectively prevent NiO from... x Contact with the perovskite photosensitive layer 111 enhances the NiO x This improves the stability of the perovskite interface and maximizes the transfer of charge from the photoconductive layer to NiO. x Hole transport layer 112, NiO x The hole concentration and conductivity are optimized, thereby maximizing the efficiency of the corresponding perovskite solar cells and modules.
[0065] In the above implementation examples, in NiO x A thin film of photoconductive phthalocyanine / porphyrin and its derivatives is inserted between the hole transport layer 112 and the perovskite photosensitive layer 111. This is because the photoconductive phthalocyanine / porphyrin and its derivatives not only conduct electricity under illumination but also react with NiO. x Ni on the surface 2+ Complexation, thereby transferring charge to NiO x This increases NiO x This improves the hole concentration and conductivity, thereby increasing the efficiency of corresponding perovskite solar cells and modules.

[0066] This invention also provides a solar module, which can be constructed by electrically connecting multiple perovskite solar cells as described above. Of course, it is understood that in addition to perovskite solar cells, the perovskite solar module also includes other components, such as structural components, protective components, and rectifier and transformer devices, etc. The selection of these components and their specific structures can be set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation, and will not be elaborated here.

[0167]
[0168] As can be seen from Table 1, the present invention is used in NiO x The perovskite solar cells A1-A5 prepared by inserting a photoconductive thin film 114 made of a photoconductive material between the hole transport layer 112 and the perovskite photosensitive layer 111 exhibit significantly higher open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current (Jsc), and fill factor (FF) than the perovskite solar cell B1 prepared without the method provided in this invention. This is mainly because, in this invention, a photoconductive thin film made of a photoconductive material is inserted between NiOx and the perovskite photosensitive layer 111. Under illumination, the photoconductive material can conduct electricity and interacts with NiOx. x Ni on the surface 2+ Complexation effectively transfers charge from the photoconductive thin film to NiO. x This effectively improves NiO x The hole concentration and conductivity of NiO are increased. x The electrical conductivity, and the photoconductive material can also conduct NiO. x The valence band and Fermi level are deepened, making them more compatible with the 111 energy level of the perovskite photosensitive layer, thus reducing the energy loss of NiO. xThe energy loss between the perovskite photosensitive layer 111 and the perovskite photosensitive layer 111 is reduced, thereby improving the open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current (Jsc), and fill factor (FF) of the fabricated perovskite solar cell, resulting in a significant increase in the efficiency of the final perovskite solar cell. Comparing Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 4, it was found that the perovskite solar cells A1-A3 fabricated using the photoconductive thin film 114 made of photoconductive material on NiOx according to the present invention have much better photovoltaic performance than the perovskite solar cell B4 fabricated by only forming a modification layer without heating the photoconductive material to form a photoconductive thin film. This is mainly because the present invention inserts a photoconductive material between NiOx and the perovskite photosensitive layer 111 through a heating process to form a photoconductive thin film. Under illumination, the photoconductive material can conduct electricity and interacts with NiOx. x Ni on the surface 2+ Complexation effectively transfers charge from the photoconductive thin film to NiO. x This effectively improves NiO x The hole concentration and conductivity of NiO are increased. x The conductivity further improves the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells.
[0169] Meanwhile, by comparing Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 2-3, it was found that the perovskite solar cells A1-A3 prepared using the photoconductive thin film 114 composed of the photoconductive material within the concentration range of the present invention have higher efficiency than the perovskite solar cells B2-B3 prepared without the photoconductive thin film 114 composed of the photoconductive material within the concentration range of the present invention. This is mainly because the photoconductive material within the concentration range of the present invention forms a more complete complex with NiOx and maximizes the transfer of charge from the photoconductive layer to NiO. x Hole transport layer.
[0170] Meanwhile, by comparing Example 6 and Comparative Example 5, it was found that the photovoltaic performance of the perovskite solar cell A6, which uses a photoconductive thin film made of photoconductive material on NiOx prepared by solution method, is much better than that of the perovskite solar cell B5, which is prepared without the photoconductive material of the present invention. This further demonstrates that the photoconductive material of the present invention is not only applicable to vacuum-deposited NiOx as a hole transport layer, but also to NiOx structures prepared by solution method or sol-gel method as a hole transport layer.
[0171] Furthermore, by comparing Example 11 and Comparative Example 6, we found that the perovskite solar cell A1 prepared using the photoconductive thin film made of photoconductive material on NiOx according to the present invention showed significantly lower efficiency degradation and significantly improved stability compared to the perovskite solar cell B1 prepared without the present invention, after 400 hours of light aging under the same environment (air environment). This is mainly because the insertion of the photoconductive material thin film effectively prevents NiO from being absorbed by the film. x It is in direct contact with the perovskite photosensitive layer 111, thereby effectively preventing NiO from... x An interfacial reaction occurs with the perovskite photosensitive layer 111, enhancing the performance of NiO. x The interface stability with the perovskite photosensitive layer 111 is improved, thereby enhancing the stability of the corresponding perovskite solar cells and modules.
[0172] Based on the above embodiments and comparative examples, it can be clearly understood that:
[0173] 1. This invention relates to NiO x A photoconductive thin film 114 made of a photoconductive material is inserted between the perovskite interface and the perovskite. Because the photoconductive material can conduct electricity under light conditions and can interact with NiO... x Ni in the upper surface 2+ Complexation effectively transfers charge from the photoconductive material to NiO. x Above, improved NiO x The hole concentration and conductivity of NiO were improved. x The conductivity of the perovskite solar cells and modules is improved, thereby increasing their efficiency.
[0174] 2. This invention relates to NiO x Inserting a photoconductive thin film 114 between the NiO and the perovskite interface can effectively deepen the NiO layer. x The valence band and Fermi level, thus enabling NiO x The energy levels of NiO are more closely matched with those of the perovskite photosensitive layer 111, thereby reducing the energy loss of NiO. x Energy loss at the perovskite photosensitive layer 111 interface, thereby increasing the voltage of the corresponding perovskite solar cells and modules.
[0175] 3. This invention relates to NiO x Inserting a photoconductive thin film 114 between the perovskite and the perovskite interface can effectively prevent the perovskite photosensitive layer 111 from reacting with NiO. x Direct contact effectively prevents NiO x Ni in 3+ It undergoes a redox reaction with the perovskite photosensitive layer 111, thereby enhancing the NiO content. x The stability of the perovskite photosensitive layer 111 interface is improved, thereby enhancing the stability of the corresponding perovskite solar cells and modules.
[0176] 4. The preparation method provided by this invention substantially solves the problem of using NiO x As a hole transport layer 112, perovskite solar cells and modules are fabricated due to the presence of Ni. 3+ This invention addresses the inherent contradiction between high efficiency and stability arising from the characteristics of perovskite solar cells. Furthermore, the fabrication method provided by this invention is simple, convenient, easy to operate, and low in cost, thus facilitating the rapid industrialization of perovskite solar cells.
