Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular relates to a 2D / 3D perovskite solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Perovskites are among the most studied and promising optoelectronic materials due to their exceptional optoelectronic properties, tunable energy bands, high light absorption coefficients, and low exciton binding energies. Perovskite solar cells (PeSCs) have achieved remarkable success in photoelectric conversion over the past decade, with the highest certified photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) for perovskite solar cells reaching 25.7%, approaching the Shockley-Queisser limit. Perovskite cells have shown promising application prospects in next-generation photovoltaic devices. However, several challenges need to be addressed before commercial production, such as the formation of large surface defects that lead to severe non-radiative recombination, and insufficient material interactions between components that lead to thermal, moisture, and light-induced degradation.

[0003] Two-dimensional perovskites, a novel class of photovoltaic materials in which organic layers act as protective barriers against moisture or ion attack, have recently emerged and garnered increasing attention due to their remarkable stability. Inspired by this, surface passivation using two-dimensional perovskites deposited on top of three-dimensional perovskites has sparked a wave of research to simultaneously achieve higher efficiency and stability. This structure, by in situ growing a two-dimensional capping layer atop a 3D perovskite film, significantly improves the stability and photovoltaic performance of PSCs without compromising their high performance. Currently, PSCs have achieved remarkable performance with the help of two-dimensional perovskite surface passivation. For example, Yang et al. employed a newly designed cyclohexylethylammonium iodide (CEAI) as a surface passivator for 3D perovskites. By forming a 2D perovskite layer to reduce trap-assisted recombination, they achieved an increase in fill factor to 82.6%, resulting in a 23.57% improvement in PCE. The introduction of CEAI also improved surface hydrophobicity, enabling the passivated device to maintain a residual efficiency above 96% at 1 sun after 1500 hours. The record certified efficiency of PSCs (25.2%) obtained by Jin and colleagues is also based on a 2D perovskite passivation film. The basic light absorption layer is a 2D / 3D heterojunction induced by octylammonium iodide (OAI) and n-hexylammonium. In addition, Wang et al. successfully fabricated a thermodynamically stable all-inorganic (β-CsPbI3-based) PSC with an efficiency of >18% by using choline iodide (CHI) in crack filling interface engineering. In terms of carbon electrode-based perovskite cells, the German Wagner team introduced a two-dimensional perovskite passivation layer (OAI) as an electron blocking layer, significantly reducing interfacial recombination losses. This has enabled the use of two-dimensional perovskite as an electron blocking layer to achieve an HTM-free, printable, low-temperature carbon electrode perovskite solar cell with an efficiency of 18.5%, and significantly improved device stability.

[0004] In summary, 2D / 3D perovskite cells have better performance and greatly improved stability compared to traditional 3D perovskite cells, which will help the commercialization of perovskite solar cells.

[0005] The above analysis reveals the following problems and drawbacks of the existing technology: During the perovskite film formation process, dangling bonds at grain boundaries and crystal planes lead to a large number of grain boundary and interface defects. These harmful defects severely impair carrier transport and cause severe non-radiative recombination. Furthermore, due to insufficient interactions between their components, perovskite materials are subject to varying degrees of decomposition, which is accelerated when exposed to high humidity, high temperature, strong light, and oxygen-rich conditions. Currently, the in-situ growth of a 2D capping layer on top of a 3D perovskite film has significantly improved the stability of the PSC under standard conditions and the photovoltaic performance of the cell without compromising its high performance. However, the stability of perovskite cells in conditions such as high temperature, high humidity, and light exposure remains a concern. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a 2D / 3D perovskite solar cell and a preparation method thereof, and in particular relates to an improved 2D layer annealing method.

[0007] The present invention is achieved by providing a method for preparing a 2D / 3D perovskite solar cell, the method comprising:

[0008] A glass slide was placed on the surface of the 2D perovskite layer to ensure full contact between the PEAI solution and the 3D perovskite surface. PEAI was used as a 2D perovskite barrier layer, and a 2D covering layer was in situ grown on top of the 3D perovskite film. The annealing method of the 2D layer and the concentration of PEAI were improved. Low-temperature carbon slurry was used to replace the hole transport layer HTM and the metal electrode to prepare a 2D / 3D perovskite solar cell.

[0009] Furthermore, the preparation method of the 2D / 3D perovskite solar cell comprises the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: Preparation of electron transport layer, including the preparation of TiO2 dense layer, TiO2 nanoarray and SnO2 layer;

[0011] Step 2: Prepare the perovskite layer and the 2D layer separately;

[0012] Step three: fabricate the C electrode using a screen printing process.

[0013] Furthermore, the preparation of the TiO2 dense layer in step 1 includes:

[0014] The conductive glass FTO was ultrasonically treated with detergent powder, deionized water, acetone, and ethanol for 30 minutes each. After cleaning, the FTO was blown dry from the side with a clean nitrogen gun. After sticking yellow tape on the conductive surface of the glass to leave a reserved electrode, the substrate was placed in an ozone cleaner and cleaned for 30 minutes. 2.2 mL of titanium tetrachloride was added dropwise into 200 mL of an ice-water mixture and stirred to melt. The solution became clear and transparent. The prepared TiCl4 solution had a concentration of 0.1 M, and a cp-TiO2 precursor solution was obtained. The ozone-treated FTO was placed in a clean glass Petri dish and the prepared TiCl4 precursor solution was slowly poured in. The sealed Petri dish was placed in a water bath heated to 70°C, reacted for 2 hours, and then taken out and allowed to stand for 30 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, it was cleaned with deionized water and annealed on a 150°C hot plate for 2 hours. The cp-TiO2 sample was completed.

[0015] Furthermore, the TiO2 nanoarray preparation in step 1 includes:

[0016] Prepare 100 mL of a mixed solution of hydrochloric acid and deionized water with a volume ratio of 1:1, seal it tightly, and place it on a magnetic stirrer and stir it at room temperature for 30 minutes. After stirring, slowly add 1.5 mL of tetrabutyl titanate solution and stir thoroughly to obtain a precursor solution. Transfer the prepared cp-TiO2 sample to the inner liner of the reactor, place the conductive glass surface upward, pour in the stirred precursor solution, place it in the reactor, and heat it at 150°C in a drying oven for 105 minutes. After the reaction time is over, take out the sample, wash it with deionized water, place it in a muffle furnace and anneal it at 150°C for 2 hours. The TiO2 NA is completed.

[0017] Furthermore, the SnO2 layer preparation in step 1 includes:

[0018] Take 1mL of tin tetrachloride and put it into 200mL of deionized water, stir until it is completely mixed. The preparation method is the same as that of TiO2 dense layer.

[0019] Furthermore, the perovskite layer preparation in step 2 includes:

[0020] A certain amount of PbI2 powder was weighed and dissolved in a mixed solvent of DMF and DMSO, with V:V=9:1, and the concentration of PbI2 solution was prepared to be 1.5M. It was placed on a magnetic stirrer and heated and stirred at 70℃ for 30 minutes; 6.39mg, 9mg and 90mg of iodomethylamine, chloromethylamine and iodoformamidine powder were taken respectively, 1mL of isopropanol solution was added to the mixed drug powder, and the mixture was placed on a shaker and shaken continuously for 15 minutes; the first step of the two-step spin coating method was to spin-coat the PbI2 solution. A pipette was used to take 50μL of PbI2 solution and drop it on the UV-treated substrate surface; the spin coating speed was 1500rpm and the spin coating time was 30s, and it was placed on a 70℃ hot stage for annealing for 10s; the organic salt solution was spin-coated. 50μL of organic salt was spin-coated on the sample at a spin coating speed of 1500rpm and a spin coating time of 30s; after the spin coating was completed, it was immediately removed and placed on a 150℃ constant temperature hot stage for annealing for 30 minutes, and the PeSK film was prepared.

[0021] Furthermore, the 2D layer production in step 2 includes:

[0022] The prepared perovskite layer was post-treated by spin coating a PEAI solution with a concentration of 10 mg / mL. The PEAI spin coating speed was 5000 rpm, the acceleration was 9000 rpm, and the time was 30 s. After the spin coating was completed, a glass slide was placed on the upper surface to ensure full contact between the perovskite and the PEAI solution, and the layer was placed on a 100°C constant temperature hot plate for annealing for 10 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, the glass cover was removed.

[0023] Furthermore, the C electrode preparation in step 3 includes:

[0024] The low-temperature carbon paste was transferred to the 2D-3D layer using a screen printing process. After the transfer process was completed, it was immediately placed on a constant temperature hot stage for annealing for 10 min at 100 °C.

[0025] Furthermore, the preparation process of the 2D / 3D perovskite solar cell is carried out in air at a temperature of 25-28° C. and a humidity of 27-30%.

[0026] Another object of the present invention is to provide a 2D / 3D perovskite solar cell prepared by implementing the method for preparing a 2D / 3D perovskite solar cell.

[0027] In combination with the above technical solutions and the technical problems solved, please analyze the advantages and positive effects of the technical solutions to be protected by the present invention from the following aspects:

[0028] First, in view of the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art and the difficulty of solving these problems, this paper closely combines the technical solutions to be protected by the present invention and the results and data during the research and development process, and analyzes in detail and in depth how the technical solutions of the present invention solve the technical problems and some creative technical effects brought about by solving the problems. The specific description is as follows:

[0029] To address the problems existing in perovskite cells and the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention significantly improves the stability of PSCs and the photovoltaic performance of the cell by in-situ growing a 2D capping layer on top of a 3D perovskite film without affecting its high performance. Currently, the production process of 2D / 3D perovskites has gradually matured, and most research has only focused on the stability of devices under room temperature and dry conditions. For devices to be industrialized, they must withstand conditions such as high temperature and high humidity. However, the stability of 2D / 3D perovskites under conditions such as light, high temperature, and high humidity is still lacking. The present invention uses PEAI as a 2D perovskite barrier layer. By improving the annealing method of the 2D layer, a glass slide is added to the surface of the 2D perovskite layer during annealing to ensure full contact between the PEAI solution and the 3D perovskite surface. At the same time, the glass cover reduces the volatilization of the PEAI solution, forming a smooth 2D perovskite layer on the surface. Surface morphology testing revealed that the surface morphology of the 2D / 3D perovskite film was smooth and free of obvious defects, and the grains were tightly and evenly arranged. The light absorption capacity was also significantly improved. At the same time, it can be seen from XRD that there is no yellow phase in the 2D / 3D perovskite film, and the ratio of the perovskite peak to the residual lead iodide peak is significantly lower than that of the 3D perovskite, which proves that the quality of the 2D / 3D perovskite film of the present invention has been significantly improved. The stability of the 2D / 3D perovskite cell covered with a glass cover is higher than that of the 3D perovskite cell in harsh environments such as light, high temperature, and high humidity. After heating at 70°C for 10 hours, the efficiency still maintains 90% of the initial efficiency. The experiment was completely carried out in the air, and the experimental process is more convenient. At the same time, the present invention uses low-temperature carbon slurry to replace the expensive hole transport layer HTM and metal electrodes, which not only avoids the long-term mutual penetration of the metal electrode and the perovskite layer, but also greatly reduces the experimental cost.

[0030] Second, considering the technical solution as a whole or from the perspective of the product, the technical effects and advantages of the technical solution to be protected by the present invention are described in detail as follows:

[0031] The perovskite battery prepared by the present invention has low cost and significantly improved thermal stability. After being heated at 70° C. for 10 hours, it can still maintain 90% of the initial efficiency and the photoelectric efficiency can reach 14.63%.

[0032] Third, as auxiliary evidence for the inventiveness of the claims of the present invention, it is also reflected in the fact that the technical solution of the present invention solves a technical problem that people have long been eager to solve but have never been able to solve successfully:

[0033] While the manufacturing process for 2D / 3D perovskites has matured, the industrialization of perovskite solar cells requires them to withstand conditions such as sunlight, high temperature, and high humidity. Stability under these conditions presents a significant challenge for the industrialization of perovskite cells. However, a comprehensive solution to this problem currently remains unresolved. This paper proposes an improved annealing method for 2D / 3D perovskite cells, enhancing their stability under these conditions while maintaining simplicity and low cost.
