TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a preparation device of perovskite thin film and a preparation method of perovskite thin film. BACKGROUND
[0002] Perovskite solar cells are attracting much attention due to their high theoretical efficiency and solution processability. Currently, the common preparation methods of perovskite thin film include spin coating, doctor blading, slot-die coating, spray coating and vapor assisted deposition.
[0003] The currently reported high-efficiency devices usually use spin coating method, and the effective area of the cell is usually less than 0.1 cm 2 . Moreover, toxic anti-solvents such as chlorobenzene are used to extract organic solvents from perovskite precursor solution during the preparation process. The above two points cannot meet the requirements of industrial production on the one hand, and the use of anti-solvents will have adverse effects on the environment and human body on the other hand. Although the vapor assisted deposition technology can realize large-area preparation and no anti-solvent participation, it involves vacuum equipment, which is costly and has low material utilization.
[0004] The common solution method for large-area perovskite preparation technology includes doctor blading and slot-die coating. The doctor blading method needs to continuously supplement the precursor liquid during the preparation process, which cannot realize continuous coating production, thereby increasing the labor cost and time cost. Moreover, the liquid supplementing process is prone to cause the problems of non-timely supplementing and non-uniform thin film at the supplementing connection. The slot-die coating method solves the problem of continuous liquid supplementing and can more finely control the coating process. However, the existing technology still cannot avoid the use of anti-solvents, and the anti-solvents cannot be removed in time, which will cause damage to the perovskite thin film. Moreover, the use of anti-solvents such as chlorobenzene will have adverse effects on human health and the environment.
[0005] Therefore, there are still certain technical difficulties in the large-area, efficient and high-quality preparation of perovskite thin film.

The secondary soft coating process can reduce or eliminate hard damage to the film, improving film quality. Automated control and continuous transport facilitate continuous large-area mass production using the solution method, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0066] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the conveying mechanism 110 is provided with a fixed support 150, the fixed support 150 is connected with a mounting beam 151, the slit coating mechanism 121 is mounted on the mounting beam 151 through a first screw rod adjusting mechanism 123, so as to adjust the height of the slit coating mechanism 121 through the first screw rod adjusting mechanism 123, so as to control the vertical distance between the coating slit outlet and the substrate 001 to be adjustable at 0cm-5cm.

The external liquid injection system delivers the precursor solution from the feed port 1213 into the liquid storage cavity 1214 through the components of the delivery pump, the liquid storage cavity 1214 can uniformly flow the precursor solution out of the direct-current slit 1215, so as to facilitate the trace control of the liquid output and coating, and ensure the coating stability and the film uniformity.
[0068] In some embodiments, the first slit die 1211 and the second slit die 1212 can be fixed by a fixing member such as a bolt, but are not limited thereto. The width of the direct-current slit 1215 is not limited and can be 0.1 μm to 500 μm. The width of the direct-current slit 1215 can be adjusted by adding a gasket. The liquid flow rate ranges from 0.001 mL / min to 20 mL / min.
[0069] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 、 Figures 5-7 The secondary soft film coating mechanism 122 includes a front clamping plate 1221, a rear clamping plate 1222, and a fixing member 1223 for fixing the front clamping plate 1221 and the rear clamping plate 1222.

The soft film 1224 extends towards the transmission mechanism to perform secondary coating on the material coated on the substrate 001. The secondary coating is achieved by the pressure and the contact angle of the soft film 1224 on the primary liquid film. The secondary coating can effectively repair the film damage caused by the primary hard coating, improve the quality of the precursor liquid film, and facilitate the replacement and cleaning of the soft film module through the clamping plate.

[0075] Specifically, the external liquid injection system can include a container for storing a precursor solution, a delivery pump for delivering the precursor solution, and a controller for controlling the delivery pump to be turned on and off. When the photoelectric sensing mechanism 160 senses the substrate 001, a passing feedback signal is fed back to the controller in the external liquid injection system, and then the controller is used to control the delivery pump to deliver liquid; when no substrate passes, the liquid injection is stopped, realizing automatic control and continuous coating, and at the same time, continuous pumping of the precursor liquid can be avoided, which can cause pollution by dropping onto the workbench, and at the same time, the transmission mechanism 110 realizes continuous coating of the substrate.
