Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a perovskite solar cell and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of perovskite solar cell preparation. Background Art
[0002] Solution-processable hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskites can be used in solar cells to obtain perovskite solar cells (PSCs).
[0003] Currently, the solar-to-electricity conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has exceeded 25%, and the price is low. However, perovskites have poor stability against water, light, and heat. It is reported that the expected lifespan of PSCs is at most 10,000 hours, which is not competitive in the market compared with the 25-year lifespan of silicon solar cells. To improve the commercial value of perovskites, it is necessary to further improve their long-term stability.
[0004] Perovskite refers to a class of ceramic oxides with a basic structure of ABX3. Its crystal structure belongs to the cubic crystal system. B and X ions form an octahedral structure [BX6] 4− through strong coordination bonds. B is located at the center of the octahedron, and X is located at the vertices of the octahedron. The octahedrons are extended through corner sharing to form a 3D network structure, and the A-site cations are filled in the voids formed by the 3D network of octahedrons. This perovskite with an ideal lattice structure is also called three-dimensional perovskite (3D perovskite). When the A-site ions are small enough, the integrity of its [BX6]4− cubic configuration can be maintained. Their crystal stability and possible structures are determined by the Goldschmidt tolerance factor (t) and the octahedral factor (μ): t = (rA + rB) / (√2(rB + rX)), where rA, rB, and rX are the ionic radii of the corresponding ions, and μ = rB / rX. To maintain the three-dimensional structure of perovskite, t and μ usually must be within the ranges of 0.81 < t < 1.11 and 0.44 < μ < 0.90, respectively. Otherwise, chain-like one-dimensional perovskite (1D perovskite) or layered two-dimensional perovskite (2D perovskite) will be formed, and the activities of 1D perovskite and 2D perovskite are far less than those of 3D perovskite.
[0005] The basic structure of a perovskite solar cell device includes a conductive glass, an electron transport layer, a perovskite layer, a hole transport layer, and a metal electrode. Due to the properties of the device itself and the production process, defects will be generated in the perovskite. The defects make the perovskite active and easy to decompose, thus forming non-radiative recombination, which in turn affects the device performance and stability.
[0006] Passivating perovskites can reduce defects in perovskites and is an effective strategy for improving the performance of perovskite solar cells. As a form of interface engineering, passivating perovskites can improve the quality of the perovskite film, reduce the probability of nonradiative recombination of electrons and holes, and effectively improve the photoelectric performance and stability of perovskite solar cells. Previous studies have demonstrated that passivating low-dimensional perovskites can effectively improve the stability of solar cells.
[0007] Stable one-dimensional / three-dimensional perovskite solar cells (1D / 3D PSCs) can be prepared by introducing large-diameter organic cations into 3D perovskite precursors or by forming a sufficiently large organic cation thin layer on the surface of 3D perovskite films. 1D / 3D PSCs exhibit both environmental stability and good photovoltaic performance. Currently, materials used to form one-dimensional perovskites in perovskite layer passivation technology include lead methylammonium iodide (MAPbI3), 2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyridine (PZPY), thiazole ammonium iodide (TAI), pyrrolidine hydroiodide (PyI), propargyl ammonium (PA+), and 2-diethylaminoethyl chloride hydrochloride (DEAECCl).

[0088] Example 1

[0094] Step 5: Dissolve the titanium dioxide slurry in anhydrous ethanol to obtain a titanium dioxide slurry / anhydrous ethanol solution, wherein the titanium dioxide slurry is 0.3 g and the anhydrous ethanol is 2.4 ml.
[0095] Step 6: Spin-coat the titanium dioxide slurry / anhydrous ethanol solution onto the dense layer at a rotation speed of 4500 rpm, and then anneal the layer to form a mesoporous thin film layer. The spin-coating time is greater than or equal to 10 s.

[0098] Step 8: After spin-coating the perovskite precursor solution onto the mesoporous film layer at a speed of 3000 rpm, spin-coat 1 ml of diethyl ether as an antisolvent onto the mesoporous film layer at a speed of 3000 rpm, and then anneal the film to form a 400 nm perovskite film layer.
[0099] The spin coating time for the first spin coating was less than or equal to 38 s, and the spin coating time for the second spin coating was greater than or equal to 20 s. In addition, the annealing treatment was a one-step annealing at 150 ℃ for 10 min.

[0107] This invention utilizes trimethyl thionyl chloride solution to modify perovskite thin film layers, thereby passivating internal defects in the perovskite thin film layers, promoting charge transport in perovskite solar cells, enhancing carrier lifetime, improving crystallinity and grain size, and suppressing nonradiative recombination in perovskite solar cells, thus improving the photoelectric performance and stability of perovskite solar cells.
[0108] Example 2
[0109] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in step 9:
[0110] In this embodiment, 0.05 mmol of trimethyl sulfoxide was dissolved in 10 ml of isopropanol with a purity of 99.7% to obtain a 5 mmol / L trimethyl sulfoxide solution.
[0111] Example 3
[0112] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in step 9:
[0113] In this embodiment, 0.1 mmol of trimethyl sulfoxide was dissolved in 10 ml of isopropanol with a purity of 99.7% to obtain a 10 mmol / L trimethyl sulfoxide solution.
[0114] The characteristic parameters of the perovskite solar cells obtained in Examples 1-3 were tested respectively, as detailed in Table 1.
[0115]
[0116] As shown in Table 1, the perovskite solar cell in the blank control group has a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 17.60%, an open-circuit voltage of 0.982V, and a short-circuit current of 24.62mA / cm². 2 The fill factor was 70.39%. When the passivation layer was obtained using a 10 mmol / L trimethyl sulfoxide solution, the perovskite solar cell achieved a photoelectric conversion efficiency as high as 21.71%, an open-circuit voltage of 1.071 V, and a short-circuit current of 26.09 mA / cm². 2 The fill factor is 78.65%. It is evident that by adding a highly stable one-dimensional passivation layer of trimethyl thionyl chloride on the perovskite thin film, the photovoltaic performance of the perovskite solar cell is improved; for example, the photoelectric conversion efficiency, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and fill factor are all enhanced.
[0117] Furthermore, this application analyzes the effects of modifying the perovskite thin film layer with trimethyl thionyl chloride solution on the carrier dynamics and recombination of perovskite solar cells.
[0118] refer to Figure 1 It can be seen that, compared with the blank control group, the PL intensity of the perovskite solar cell increases with the increase of trimethyl thionyl chloride solution. This shows that after modifying the perovskite thin film layer with trimethyl thionyl chloride solution, the number of trapping centers is reduced and nonradiative recombination caused by defects can be effectively suppressed.
[0119] refer to Figure 2 Compared to the blank control group, the normalized PL intensity of the perovskite solar cell increased with the increase of trimethyl thionyl chloride solution. It can be seen that the perovskite thin film layer modified with trimethyl thionyl chloride solution has a longer average carrier lifetime.
[0120] In summary, modifying the perovskite thin film layer with trimethyl thionyl chloride solution can effectively passivate the internal defects of the perovskite thin film layer, thereby suppressing non-radiative recombination in perovskite solar cells and improving the photoelectric performance and stability of perovskite solar cells.
[0121] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
