Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite semiconductor materials are among the fastest-growing materials in the photovoltaic field. With the continuous improvement of the conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells, the currently certified conversion efficiency has reached 25.8%. Compared with other types of solar cells, perovskite solar cells can be produced using a low-temperature solution method, featuring a simpler fabrication process, a wide range of raw materials, and low production costs. They have great potential to replace single-crystalline silicon solar cells and achieve low-cost photovoltaic power generation.

[0003] Currently, perovskite solar cells can be divided into planar and mesoporous structures. Planar perovskite solar cells are formed by depositing each functional layer layer by layer. From bottom to top, they are a transparent conductive substrate, electron transport layer, perovskite light absorption layer, hole transport layer, and metal electrode. Electrons and holes can be extracted by the electron transport layer material and hole transport layer material, respectively, resulting in low recombination losses and high open-circuit voltage. However, the high cost of the hole transport layer material and metal electrodes in the perovskite solar cell device structure limits further cost reduction. In addition, the thin film is usually prepared by spin coating, which does not allow for large-scale production.

[0004] Perovskite solar cells with mesoporous structures, for example, the printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cell disclosed in Chinese patent document CN103441217B, structurally include a conductive substrate, a hole blocking layer, a nanocrystalline layer, an insulating spacer layer, and a hole collection layer in sequence, wherein the perovskite material runs through the entire three-layer mesoporous membrane, namely the mesoporous nanocrystalline layer, the insulating spacer layer, and the hole collection layer. The device structure is very simple, does not contain expensive metal electrodes and hole transport layer materials, and is very low in cost. Moreover, it adopts screen printing technology and is easy to scale up. Due to the limitation of its mesopores, the printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cell has high stability, which is conducive to commercial production.

[0005] However, the conversion efficiency of printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cells is lower than that of planar perovskite solar cells. The main reason for the reduced conversion efficiency is the loss of open-circuit voltage. Because printable mesoscopic perovskite solar cells do not contain hole transport layer materials, there is an energy level mismatch between the perovskite and the carbon electrode. Electrons not extracted by titanium oxide diffuse to the carbon electrode and recombine with holes on the carbon electrode, resulting in a decrease in open-circuit voltage. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a perovskite solar cell and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the technical problem in the prior art that there is an energy level mismatch between the perovskite and the carbon electrode of the perovskite solar cell, and the carbon electrode extracts electrons, resulting in reduced conversion efficiency.

[0040] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] The method for preparing a perovskite solar cell of this embodiment comprises the following steps:

[0043] A porous membrane skeleton is taken and filled with a perovskite precursor solution. Then, the volatile solvent is dried and an interface is formed in the mesoporous electrode layer to obtain a perovskite solar cell; the perovskite precursor solution forms a gradient perovskite in the mesoporous electron transport layer, the mesoporous insulating layer, and the mesoporous electrode layer.

[0044] Wherein, the porous membrane skeleton includes a conductive substrate, a hole blocking layer, a mesoporous electron transport layer, a mesoporous insulating layer, and a mesoporous electrode layer arranged in sequence; in this embodiment, the conductive substrate is FTO; the hole blocking layer is titanium dioxide; the mesoporous electron transport layer is titanium dioxide; the mesoporous insulating layer is zirconium dioxide; and the mesoporous electrode layer is a carbon electrode. The carbon electrode can be one or more of graphite sheets, carbon black, carbon nanotubes, and graphene. In this embodiment, the carbon electrodes are graphite sheets and carbon black. That is, the porous membrane skeleton is FTO / c-TiO2 / m-TiO2 / m-ZrO2 / mC. As Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a partial structure of a perovskite solar cell according to this embodiment, wherein the perovskite precursor solution forms a gradient perovskite in the mesoporous electron transport layer 3 , the mesoporous insulating layer 2 , and the mesoporous electrode layer 1 . Figure 1 The perovskite band structure in the S region is as follows Figure 2 shown.

[0045] The porous membrane skeleton is prepared by the following method:

[0046] The conductive substrate is laser etched to separate the positive and negative electrodes, the conductive substrate is heated to 450°C, and an isopropyl alcohol solution of di(acetylacetonato)titanate is sprayed onto the conductive substrate using a carrier gas to form a dense titanium dioxide as a hole blocking layer; then, the mesoporous electron transport layer, the mesoporous insulating layer, and the mesoporous electrode layer are sequentially printed on the cavity blocking layer by screen printing, and the layers are sintered at 400°C for 2 hours to obtain the porous membrane skeleton.

[0047] In this embodiment, the perovskite precursor solution includes at least two perovskites with different band gaps, and also includes a solvent and an additive. As a specific implementation of this embodiment, the perovskite precursor solution includes A 1-x B x ; Wherein, x = 0.05, A is a narrow bandgap perovskite; B is a wide bandgap perovskite. A is FAPb 1-a Sn a I3; wherein a=0, FA is formamidine; i.e. FAPbI3. The B is CsPb(I b Br c Cl 1-b-c )3; wherein, c=1, b=0; i.e. CsPbBr3. 1-x B x for (FAPbI3) 0.95 (CsPbBr3) 0.05 The solvent is a mixture of DMF and DMSO; the additive is MACl.

[0048] The preparation method of the perovskite precursor solution is as follows:

[0049] (1) Take FAI and PbI2 and use acetonitrile as the reaction solvent to react and generate FAPbI3.

[0050] In this example, 7.66 g of FAPbI was dissolved in 150 mL of acetonitrile at room temperature with continuous stirring. Then, 15.67 g of PbI2 (low-purity 95%; PbI2 / FAI = 1 / 1.3) was slowly added. Then, 50 mL of acetonitrile was added and stirred for 24 hours. The precipitate gradually changed from brown to bright yellow. The precipitate was washed several times with acetonitrile and dried under reduced pressure by rotary evaporation to obtain yellow FAPbI3 nanocrystals.

[0051] (2) PbBr2 is dissolved in hydrobromic acid, and CsBr is added thereto to react and generate CsPbBr3.

[0052] In this example, 7.35 g of PbBr2 was dissolved in 16 mL of hydrobromic acid, to which a CsBr solution (prepared by dissolving 4.26 g of CsBr in 10 mL of deionized water) was added dropwise. This reaction produced an orange-yellow precipitate. The precipitate was filtered, washed twice with ethanol, and then dried in a vacuum oven at 60°C for 12 hours to obtain CsPbBr3 nanocrystals.

[0053] (3) According to 1 mol / L (FAPbI3) 0.95 (CsPbBr3) 0.05The ratio of FAPbI3 in step (1) and CsPbBr3 in step (2) are taken, dissolved in the solvent, and then MACl with a mass concentration of 30-40% is added thereto to obtain.

[0054] In this embodiment, the method for preparing the perovskite solar cell specifically includes the following steps:

[0055] A porous membrane skeleton is taken and filled with a perovskite precursor solution. Then, the volatile solvent is dried at 80°C and placed at a temperature of 25°C and a relative humidity of 60% RH for more than 24 hours to form an interface with the mesoporous electrode layer to obtain a perovskite solar cell.

[0056] It should be noted that an interface is formed in the mesoporous electrode layer through a phase transition process; the interface is a formamidine-based non-perovskite phase. For the purposes of the present invention, it can also be one or more of a cesium-based non-perovskite phase, a low-dimensional perovskite, a bromine-based perovskite, a chloride-based perovskite, lead iodide, and lead bromide.

[0057] In this embodiment, due to the colloidal properties of the perovskite precursor solution, the multi-component precursor exhibits colloids of varying sizes. Since the solubility of the FAPbI3 component is greater than that of CsPbBr3, the degree of ionization of FAPbI3 in the perovskite precursor solution is higher than that of CsPbBr3. Consequently, the micelle diameter of the CsPbBr3 portion is larger than that of FAPbI3. The carbon electrode in the mesoporous electrode layer of the porous membrane skeleton has a micron-scale pore size, while the mesoporous zirconium dioxide and mesoporous titanium dioxide have pore sizes less than 50 nm. Therefore, the perovskite precursor exhibits a distribution of colloid particles of varying sizes within the three-layer porous membrane. The larger CsPbBr3 colloid particles are primarily present in the porous carbon electrode, while the smaller FAPbI3 colloid particles are primarily present in the m-TiO2 / m-ZrO2 of the three-layer porous membrane, forming a perovskite structure with a gradient distribution of wide and narrow band gaps. Next, a phase transition process is used to convert the small amount of narrow-bandgap perovskite on the carbon electrode into a wide-bandgap material to obtain a wide-bandgap interface layer. Specifically, the porous membrane skeleton is filled with formamidine perovskite, which is typically very susceptible to external environmental influences such as humidity and pressure at room temperature, and then transforms from a black formamidine perovskite phase to a yellow non-perovskite phase. The yellow non-perovskite phase has a wide bandgap and is a good match for the black formamidine phase. It can block electrons not extracted by titanium dioxide from diffusing to the carbon electrode, thereby increasing the open-circuit voltage of the device and improving the conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] The method for preparing a perovskite solar cell of this embodiment comprises the following steps:

[0060] A porous membrane skeleton is taken and filled with a perovskite precursor solution. Then, the volatile solvent is dried and an interface is formed in the mesoporous electrode layer to obtain a perovskite solar cell; the perovskite precursor solution forms a gradient perovskite in the mesoporous electron transport layer, the mesoporous insulating layer, and the mesoporous electrode layer.

[0061] The porous membrane skeleton comprises a conductive substrate, a hole-blocking layer, a mesoporous electron transport layer, a mesoporous insulating layer, and a mesoporous electrode layer, arranged in this order. In this embodiment, the conductive substrate is FTO; the hole-blocking layer is titanium dioxide; the mesoporous electron transport layer is titanium dioxide; the mesoporous insulating layer is zirconium dioxide; and the mesoporous electrode layer is a carbon electrode. The carbon electrode can be one or more of graphite flakes, carbon black, carbon nanotubes, and graphene. In this embodiment, the carbon electrodes are graphite flakes and carbon black. Specifically, the porous membrane skeleton is FTO / c-TiO2 / m-TiO2 / m-ZrO2 / mC.

[0062] The porous membrane skeleton is prepared by the following method:

[0063] The conductive substrate is laser etched to separate the positive and negative electrodes, the conductive substrate is heated to 450°C, and an isopropyl alcohol solution of di(acetylacetonato)titanate is sprayed onto the conductive substrate using a carrier gas to form a dense titanium dioxide as a hole blocking layer; then, the mesoporous electron transport layer, the mesoporous insulating layer, and the mesoporous electrode layer are sequentially printed on the cavity blocking layer by screen printing, and the layers are sintered at 400°C for 2 hours to obtain the porous membrane skeleton.

[0064] In this embodiment, the perovskite precursor solution includes at least two perovskites with different band gaps, and also includes a solvent and an additive. As a specific implementation of this embodiment, the perovskite precursor solution includes A 1-x B x ; Wherein, x = 0.05, A is a narrow bandgap perovskite; B is a wide bandgap perovskite. A is FAPb 1-a Sn a I3; wherein a=0, FA is formamidine; i.e. FAPbI3. The B is CsPb(I b Br c Cl 1-b-c )3; wherein, c=1, b=0; i.e. CsPbBr3. 1-x B x for (FAPbI3) 0.95 (CsPbBr3) 0.05 The solvent is a mixture of DMF and DMSO in a weight ratio of 1:1; and the additive is MACl.

[0065] The preparation method of the perovskite precursor solution is the same as that in Example 1.

[0066] In this embodiment, the method for preparing the perovskite solar cell specifically includes the following steps:

[0067] A porous membrane skeleton is taken and filled with a perovskite precursor solution. Then, the volatile solvent is dried at 50°C and an ion exchange reaction is caused to occur, thereby forming an interface in the mesoporous electrode layer to obtain a perovskite solar cell.

[0068] The ion exchange reaction is performed by post-treatment with an isopropanol solution of phenethylamine, wherein the concentration of the phenethylamine is any value within the range of 10-50 mg / ml. In this embodiment, the concentration of the phenethylamine is 30 mg / ml. The ion exchange reaction occurs by immersing or dripping the porous membrane skeleton with the isopropanol solution of phenethylamine.

[0069] It should be noted that an interface is formed in the mesoporous electrode layer by an ion exchange reaction; the interface is one or more of a formamidine-based non-perovskite phase, a cesium-based non-perovskite phase, a low-dimensional perovskite, a bromine-based perovskite, a chloride-based perovskite, lead iodide, and lead bromide.

[0070] In this embodiment, due to the colloidal properties of the perovskite precursor solution, the multi-component precursor exhibits colloids of varying sizes. Since the solubility of the FAPbI3 component is greater than that of CsPbBr3, the degree of ionization of FAPbI3 in the perovskite precursor solution is higher than that of CsPbBr3. Consequently, the micelle diameter of the CsPbBr3 portion is larger than that of FAPbI3. The carbon electrode in the mesoporous electrode layer of the porous membrane skeleton has a micron-scale pore size, while the mesoporous zirconium dioxide and mesoporous titanium dioxide have pore sizes less than 50 nm. Therefore, the perovskite precursor exhibits a distribution of colloid particles of varying sizes within the three-layer porous membrane. The larger CsPbBr3 colloid particles are primarily present in the porous carbon electrode, while the smaller FAPbI3 colloid particles are primarily present in the m-TiO2 / m-ZrO2 of the three-layer porous membrane, forming a perovskite structure with a gradient distribution of wide and narrow band gaps. Next, an ion exchange reaction is used to convert a small amount of narrow-bandgap perovskite on the carbon electrode into a wide-bandgap material, thereby obtaining a wide-bandgap interface layer. When post-treated with an isopropyl alcohol solution of phenylethylamine, the organic components in the perovskite dissolve in the isopropyl alcohol solution, while the inorganic framework is insoluble in isopropyl alcohol. The phenylethylamine post-treatment solution then undergoes an intercalation reaction with the inorganic perovskite framework on the carbon electrode, forming a yellow, wide-bandgap, low-dimensional perovskite. This reduces non-radiative recombination between the perovskite and the carbon electrode, improving the device's open-circuit voltage and conversion efficiency.

[0073] Instead of the perovskite precursor solution in Example 1, in this embodiment, the perovskite precursor solution includes A 1-x B x ; Wherein, x = 0.95, A is a narrow bandgap perovskite; B is a wide bandgap perovskite.
