Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of perovskite solar cell materials, specifically relating to a perovskite solar cell and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Solar cells, as an energy storage device that converts solar energy into electrical energy, have the potential to replace other non-renewable energy sources such as coal, both from the perspective of photovoltaic technology development and economic feasibility.

[0003] Solar cells have undergone three generations of development. The first generation of photovoltaic cells, represented by silicon-based solar cells, suffered from drawbacks such as high power generation costs, high energy consumption, and fixed module positions. The second generation of thin-film solar cells, represented by copper indium gallium selenide and cadmium telluride, suffered from high toxicity and extremely limited reserves of component elements. Against this backdrop, the third generation of solar cells emerged, which combines advantages such as simple manufacturing processes, low cost, and flexible fabrication. These include quantum dot solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, and perovskite solar cells (PSCs).

[0004] Perovskite solar cells have attracted increasing attention due to their excellent photoelectric performance, solution processing, and low cost. Their photoelectric efficiency has also rapidly increased from the initial 3.8% to over 25%. The continuous improvement in efficiency and stability has provided a solid foundation for the further commercial application of PSCs in the future.

[0005] However, the organic components of perovskite have drawbacks such as volatility, low thermal stability, and dislocations and fractures in the perovskite lattice at grain boundaries and surfaces, leading to numerous defects during the fabrication of perovskite thin films. These defects form carrier trapping centers in the band gap, causing carrier recombination losses. Simultaneously, the interfaces in perovskite solar cells regulate photoelectric processes such as carrier extraction, transport, and collection, and are also crucial sites for carrier recombination.

[0006] Therefore, in order to obtain high-efficiency and stable perovskite solar cells, it is particularly important to passivate the defects of the perovskite layer and regulate its interface energy level. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a perovskite solar cell and its fabrication method. This invention provides a hole transport layer material with high conductivity, high stability, few defects, and tunable energy levels. The hole transport layer, containing arylamine metal salts, is deposited and exhibits a synergistic effect with an interface passivation layer containing arylamine metal salts, jointly enhancing the photoelectric performance of the perovskite solar cell.

[0008] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a perovskite solar cell, the perovskite solar cell comprising a perovskite thin film absorber layer, a passivation layer and a hole transport layer stacked sequentially.

[0010] The raw materials for preparing the passivation layer and / or hole transport layer include arylamine metal salts, wherein the arylamine metal salts contain amino groups with a functionality of not less than two.

[0011] In this invention, the perovskite solar cell generally further includes a back electrode, an electron transport layer, and a substrate layer. The electron transport layer typically covers the surface of the perovskite thin-film absorber layer away from the hole transport layer. A passivation layer may exist between the electron transport layer and the perovskite thin-film absorber layer. The positions of the back electrode and the hole transport layer differ in conventional and inverted perovskite solar cells, and this invention does not limit their positions.

[0012] It should be noted that the technical solution in this invention can be applied to both conventional perovskite solar cells and inverted perovskite solar cells.

[0013] This invention effectively modulates the high conductivity, interfacial energy levels, and work function of the hole transport layer by doping it with arylamine metal salts. This not only promotes the energy level arrangement at the interface between the perovskite thin film absorber layer and the hole transport layer but also enhances hole extraction efficiency and significantly suppresses interfacial recombination. Furthermore, the strong electronic interaction between the arylamine metal salt-passivated hole transport layer and the perovskite thin film absorber layer further passivates defects in the absorber layer and enhances its crystallinity, thereby increasing grain size. Simultaneously, the amino groups in the arylamine metal salt structure neutralize free iodoformamide (FAI) in the precursor and form an intermediate structure, thus achieving a high-efficiency perovskite solar cell.

[0014] Preferably, the arylamine metal salt includes any one or a combination of at least two of the following: copper tetrahydrochloride of 1,2,4,5-phenyltetramine tetrahydrochloride, silver tetrahydrochloride of 1,2,4,5-phenyltetramine tetrahydrochloride, lithium tetrahydrochloride of 1,2,4,5-phenyltetramine tetrahydrochloride, or magnesium tetrahydrochloride of 1,2,4,5-phenyltetramine tetrahydrochloride. For the sake of brevity, all combinations within the above range will not be listed individually.

[0015] In this invention, the metal ions contained in the aforementioned phenyltetramine tetrahydrochloride metal salts can modulate the work function of the hole transport layer. The doping of these metal ions not only occupies defect sites, thereby improving the crystal quality and mobility of the thin film, but also replaces the Ni lattice. 2+ The position of the electron acceptor increases the hole concentration. And intrinsic NiO x Compared to hole transport layers, the doped hole transport layer exhibits higher conductivity and stronger hole extraction capability. The corresponding amino groups passivate Lewis acid defects in the perovskite through coordination bonds, neutralize free FAI in the precursor, and form an intermediate structure, thereby constructing a high-efficiency perovskite solar cell system. Therefore, the aforementioned phenyltetramine tetrahydrochloride metal salts can be used to fabricate high-efficiency and highly stable perovskite solar cells through the synergistic effect of defect passivation and energy level modulation.

[0016] Preferably, the preparation method of the arylamine metal salt includes the following steps:

[0020] (4) Concentrated ammonia water is diffused into the mixed solution by evaporation, and the arylamine metal salt is obtained after the reaction.

[0021] In this invention, the salt solution in step (3) needs to be slowly added dropwise to the arylamine hydrochloride solution in step (2); the concentrated ammonia also needs to be slowly evaporated and diffused into the mixed solution.

[0022] In this invention, highly crystalline arylamine metal salts can be synthesized by using a gas-phase diffusion method.

[0023] Preferably, the metal chloride salt in step (1) includes any one or a combination of at least two of copper chloride, silver chloride, lithium chloride or magnesium chloride. For example, it can be copper chloride, silver chloride, lithium chloride or magnesium chloride. For the sake of brevity, the combinations within the above range will not be listed one by one.

[0028] In this invention, by adjusting the concentration of the arylamine hydrochloride solution in step (2), the metal ions can be completely combined with the arylamine hydrochloride through coordination bonds to form an arylamine metal salt.

[0029] Preferably, the reaction time in step (4) is 12 to 24 hours, for example, 12 hours, 18 hours, 20 hours, 22 hours, or 24 hours.

[0135] Test conditions

[0136] The perovskite solar cells provided in Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were subjected to performance testing, and the testing methods are as follows:

[0137] (1) Photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE): The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell during the aging process is tested.

[0138] (2) Stability: The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell was characterized by aging under conditions of light stability (maximum output power under simulated sunlight) and high humidity and high thermal stability (85℃, 85%RH). The difference between the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell after aging for 1200h and that of the perovskite solar cell in the initial state was statistically analyzed.

[0139] The test results are shown in Table 1:

[0140] Table 1

[0141]

[0142] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, such as Figures 2-4As shown, the perovskite solar cell of the present invention has a light conversion efficiency of over 14% in the initial state, and after aging at 85℃ / 85%RH for 1200h, the light conversion efficiency is over 13%, and the absolute value of the PCE change rate after aging is within 4.29%, further demonstrating that the perovskite solar cell of the present invention has excellent electrical performance and stability.

[0143] Analysis of Comparative Examples 1-3 and Example 1 shows that the performance of Comparative Examples 1-3 is not as good as that of Example 1, which proves that the perovskite solar cell with arylamine metal salt doping and interface passivation layer in the hole transport layer has better performance. The example even achieved positive growth in light conversion efficiency after aging.
