Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of thin film materials and devices, specifically relating to a perovskite photovoltaic cell with Cu(acac)2 material passivating the interface between adjacent photosensitive layers and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Perovskite photovoltaic cells have achieved efficiencies exceeding 25%, demonstrating significant commercial potential. However, stability has consistently hampered their commercialization process, drawing considerable attention from both the research and industry communities. To improve the efficiency and stability of these devices, in addition to fabricating high-quality perovskite photosensitive layers, appropriate interface modification and passivation are crucial.

[0003] Currently, many results on interface modification and passivation of perovskite photosensitive layers have been reported both domestically and internationally (J.Xia et al., Energy Environ. Mater. 2022, 0, 1-24). Inserting polymers into the perovskite photosensitive layer / hole transport layer achieves a relatively ideal passivation effect (P. Qin et al., Adv. Funct. Mater. 2020, 1908408). Utilizing the δ-FAPbI3 phase, which has a wider band gap than the black phase perovskite, effectively suppresses charge recombination at the interface (J. Zhang et al., Adv. Funct. Mater. 2022, 2204642). Selectively fixing iodine or interacting with undercoordinated lead cations by adjusting the molecular conformation of malondiamide (X. Wang., Chem. Eng. J. 2023, 138559). Iminoimide undecanoic acid is used to improve the crystallinity of the photosensitive layer (L. Zhu et al., Adv. Energy Mater. 2021, 2100529). All these methods reduce the density of trapped states at the interface and suppress ion migration. However, these materials used for interface passivation are constrained by factors such as complicated synthesis, high cost, low carrier mobility, acidity, and hydrophilicity, which seriously hinder their adaptation to the large-scale commercial development of perovskite solar cells. Therefore, it is urgent to find ideal interface modification / passivation materials. Summary of the Invention

[0036] The principles and features of the present invention are described below. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0037] Unless otherwise stated, the raw materials used in this invention are conventional materials in this technical field and are all commercially available. Unless otherwise specified, the test methods and detection methods in the following embodiments are conventional methods, and the instruments used in the tests are all commercially available. For example, Spiro-OMeTAD (English name: 2,2',7,7'-Tetrakis[N,N-di(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]-9,9'-spirobifluorene, Chinese name: 2,2',7,7'-tetra[N,N-di(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]-9,9'-spirobifluorene) was purchased from Xi'an Qiyue Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0038] Inorganic transition metal materials are complexes of multiple cation valence states, exhibiting characteristics of amphoteric oxides. Intermediate valence metal cations readily "collapse" and disproportionate to generate high-valence and low-valence metal cations (or elemental metals). High-valence cations possess strong oxidizing properties (P. Qin et al., Surf. Interfaces. 2017, 12, 006) and readily react with perovskite photosensitive layers and degradation products (A. Guerrero et al., ACS Nano. 2016, 10, 218-224), forming insulating metal-iodine materials that prevent the smooth migration of holes. To address this issue, many research groups both domestically and internationally have focused on optimizing and controlling device interfaces by considering factors such as device structure, composition, grain boundaries, and interfaces (S. Akin et al., Adv. Energy Mater. 2019, 1903090). Among these methods, doping (H. Zhang et al., Adv. Mater. 2017, 29, 1604984) and organic material interface engineering (A. Agresti et al., Adv. Funct. Mater. 2020, 2003790) are common interface passivation processes.

[0039] Acetylacetone and its metal complexes have attracted much attention from researchers due to their active chemical reactivity, excellent electron transfer, and energy transfer properties. Metal acetylacetone complexes, on the other hand, are chemically very stable and have long been widely used in many chemical fields. For copper, it is usually represented by metal or oxide ions (Cu). + or Cu 2+ Copper ions exist primarily in the form of Cu. In aqueous solution, copper ions mainly exist as Cu. 2+ It exists in the form of Cu; in an acidic environment, Cu + It is easily oxidized to Cu 2+ However, in a deoxygenated water environment, Cu + It can form a Cu ratio with the added reagent. 2+ More stable complexes, thus increasing Cu + The amount is maintained to keep a high concentration of cuprous ions. Cu can be easily reduced under heating conditions using a reducing agent. 2+ Reduced to Cu + The perovskite photosensitive layer contains iodide ions, and degradation will produce lead, iodine and iodides, exhibiting acidity.

[0040] Based on this, the inventors used Cu(acac)₂ to dope or passivate the perovskite photosensitive layer, and through extensive creative experiments and the accumulation of relevant experimental data, they determined the preparation conditions and confirmed that Cu… + I can 0 Restore to I -Under heat annealing or light irradiation, Pb 0 It will be oxidized to Pb 2+ This can effectively eliminate deep-level defects in the photosensitive layer. Cu 2+ -Cu + The ion pairs are not consumed during redox cycles. Simultaneously, the reaction product CuI is a p-type material with very high hole mobility, which is beneficial for improving the hole mobility of the device. Copper ions can create occupancy sites at perovskite B sites, and O ions from the acetylacetonate group can passivate the dangling bonds of perovskite Pb, suppressing nonradiative recombination and improving device efficiency.

[0041] Meanwhile, after Cu(acac)2 material passivates defects at the adjacent interfaces of the perovskite photosensitive layer, it can effectively suppress nonradiative recombination, accelerate the extraction and transport of charge carriers, passivate interface defects, improve the hydrophobicity of the device, and ultimately improve the efficiency of perovskite photovoltaic cells.
