Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a perovskite solar cell. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, metal halide perovskite materials have attracted widespread attention in the field of solar cells. Their power conversion efficiency has reached 25.7% in just a few years, which is close to the best efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells. However, as its efficiency gradually approaches the Shockley-Queisser limit, further improvement becomes more difficult. Stacking wide-bandgap materials on narrow-bandgap cell layers to form a tandem cell can expand the spectral response of the cell, maximize the use of solar energy, and thus break through the theoretical limit of single-junction cells. The quality of the top cell of wide-bandgap perovskite (1.65-1.75eV) is a key factor in the preparation of efficient tandem solar cells. Wide-bandgap perovskites are obtained by partially replacing iodine with bromine in the lattice. They are easily separated into different halide phases under light, which locally changes the bandgap, not only adversely affecting the current matching of the tandem cell, but also impairing the long-term stability of the cell. Studies have shown that there is a strong correlation between halide segregation and perovskite surface and grain boundary defects and ion migration. As a mixture of ions containing positive and negative charges, the perovskite surface is a strongly sensitive interface affected by processing details and environmental conditions. The complex solution precursor composition and rapid heating annealing will cause a large number of defects to form on the surface of the perovskite light absorbing layer. These defects include intrinsic point defects, uncoordinated Pb 2+ and organic cations (MA) during heating annealing + / FA +) vacancy defects formed by volatilization, etc. These defects can lead to interface charge capture, non-radiative recombination and hysteresis. Under the influence of external stress, the defect state can lead to charge accumulation and ion migration, thus leading to the destruction of the material lattice. Considering the ionic bonding nature of halide perovskite materials, molecular modification has become an important means to passivate their surface defects. At present, materials that can passivate perovskite defects have been reported one after another. Chen et al. used 4-fluoro-phenylethylammonium iodide as a bifunctional reagent for directional crystallization and defect passivation of wide-bandgap perovskites, which improved the crystallinity and spontaneously formed RP-type 2D perovskites at the perovskite grain boundaries and surfaces, reducing defects and protecting the perovskite film from moisture erosion. Zhou et al. (Zhou Y, Wang F, Cao Y, et al. Benzylamine-treated wide-bandgap perovskite with high thermal-photostability and photovoltaic performance [J]. Advanced Energy Materials, 2017, 7 (22): 1701048.) used benzylamine molecules to post-treat wide-bandgap perovskite films, which can effectively passivate the high-density defects on the film surface and grain boundaries, thereby inhibiting the decomposition of the film and the photoinduced phase segregation problem. Li et al. (Li H, Shi J, Deng J, et al. Intermolecular π–π conjugation self-assembly to stabilize surface passivation of highly efficient perovskite solar cells [J]. Advanced materials, 2020, 32 (23): 1907396.) introduced tribenzylphosphine oxide on the perovskite surface to achieve perovskite surface passivation through strong -P=O-Pb coordination on the perovskite surface and intermolecular π-π conjugation. Xiong et al. (Xiong J, Liu N, Hu X, et al. Bulk Restructure of Perovskite Films via Surface Passivation for High-Performance Solar Cells[J]. Advanced Energy Materials, 2022, 12(33): 2201787.) proposed to post-treat the perovskite surface with N-benzyloxycarbonyl-D-valine, which significantly eliminated the perovskite trap states and caused secondary grain growth, resulting in increased crystallinity.However, in most cases, the reported passivators can only passivate one type of defect, and the passivation effect is limited. Therefore, it is very important to develop a multifunctional molecule to passivate multiple defects of perovskite. In addition, from a structural point of view, perovskite solar cells are composed of multiple functional layer materials. Whether the carriers generated by the perovskite active layer after absorbing sunlight can pass through each interface smoothly during the transmission process depends largely on whether the energy level structure matches. Therefore, the energy level optimization at the interface is another key factor in obtaining high-efficiency batteries in addition to improving the crystal quality. Summary of the invention
