Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy material preparation technology, and particularly relates to a method for preparing tin-based perovskite solar cells, specifically a method for improving the stability of tin-based perovskite solar cells based on hydrazine reduction treatment. Background Technology

[0002] Solar cell technology is one of the core technologies in the solar energy field. Due to limitations in cost, energy consumption, and efficiency, the development of traditional crystalline silicon solar cells faces difficulties, necessitating the development of new solar cells with high efficiency, high stability, and low cost. ABX3 type halide perovskite materials possess high light absorption coefficients, long carrier lifetimes, and suitable band gaps (~1.6 eV), making them a promising photovoltaic material.

[0003] Halide perovskite solar cells commonly use materials such as lead methylamine iodide (MAPbI3) and lead formamidinium bromide (FAPbBr3). Lead halides have high light absorption, and their band gap (~1.55 eV) is close to the optimal band gap (1.34 eV) corresponding to the Shockley-Queisser limit. However, due to the toxicity and pollution caused by lead, lead-containing perovskites pose significant environmental problems, making the development of lead-free perovskites imperative. It is generally believed that tin-based halide perovskites have the best overall performance among lead-free perovskites, but Sn... 2+ It is easily oxidized to Sn during production and use. 4+ This leads to severe alteration, deactivation, and device failure in tin-based perovskites; therefore, how to stabilize Sn 2+ This is a problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0023] Preferably, the perovskite film is formed from a perovskite precursor solution and an antisolvent.

[0024] Preferably, the solute in the perovskite precursor solution is ASnX3, wherein A is selected from any one or a mixture of methylamine, formamidin, Rb, and Cs, and X is selected from one or a mixture of I, Br, and Cl.

[0032] Research has found that for Sn in tin-based perovskite devices 2+ Stabilization includes: incorporating Sr into the material 2+ 、Ge 2+ Rare earth element ions, etc., to inhibit Sn 2+ Oxidation; introducing ionic liquid to cover the surface of the perovskite layer to form a dense coating layer; adding Sn nanoparticles to the perovskite to suppress Sn oxidation. 2+ To Sn 4+ Oxidation; passivating materials such as organic gels and biomass materials are coated onto the perovskite surface to isolate Sn. 2+ Contact with external water and oxygen. However, for Sr 2+ 、Ge 2+ Rare earth element doping methods, these doped ions and Sn 2+ The significant size differences between ions in tin-based perovskites lead to lattice mismatches. This results in limited doping amounts (generally no more than 1%) and easily causes lattice distortion, dangling bonds, vacancies, and other defects, introducing new defect growth centers and carrier recombination centers, negatively impacting device performance. Ionic liquid passivation requires expensive ionic liquids, which are prone to leakage, hindering cost reduction, stability improvement, and environmental friendliness. Nanoparticle passivation makes it difficult to ensure effective contact between Sn nanoparticles and perovskite materials. Using organic gels, biomass, or other materials to create passivation layers significantly impedes charge flow within the material, increasing device resistance, voltage drop, and losses. Furthermore, the aforementioned methods can only suppress the formation of new Sn in tin-based perovskites. 4+ It is impossible to eliminate the Sn that already exists in tin-based perovskites during the preparation process. 4+ Therefore, a new method is needed to uniformly coat the surface of tin-based perovskites with zero-valent Sn, while simultaneously eliminating the Sn that is generated during the preparation of the tin-based perovskites. 4+ Defects, thereby achieving more complete stabilization.

[0033] In this invention, hydrazine is a low-cost, environmentally friendly strong oxidant commonly used in the preparation of metal nanomaterials. This invention employs a low-concentration hydrazine solution as a reducing agent to reduce the surface layer of tin-based perovskite, thereby eliminating the Sn present in the perovskite. 4+ Simultaneously, a uniform 0-valent Sn protective layer is formed on the perovskite surface. This protective layer also has conductive properties, improving the stability of the battery while ensuring its photoelectric conversion efficiency. Figure 2 As shown. The method provided by this invention is low-cost, highly compatible with various processes, and suitable for the stabilization of large-area, lead-free perovskite photovoltaic cells.

[0034] The tin-based perovskite solar cells prepared by this invention exhibit low lattice mismatch: because no dopant ions are introduced, defects such as internal stress and dangling bonds caused by ion size mismatch during doping can be effectively prevented, reducing the probability of carrier recombination. This effectively eliminates the existing Sn in perovskite materials. 4+ Because the hydrazine solution is liquid, it can fully wet the perovskite surface, thereby effectively reducing the Sn already formed on the surface of the raw material. 4+ A dense, zero-valent Sn passivation layer can be formed: due to the strong reducing power of hydrazine, Sn can be... 4+ and Sn 2+ The hydrazine solution is reduced to zero valence, and due to the ample contact between the solution and the perovskite surface, a dense and uniform zero-valent Sn film can be formed. This effectively prevents Sn from being reduced to zero valence. 2+ Oxidation: Due to the presence of a dense, uniform Sn protective layer, the internal Sn... 2+ It is difficult for Sn to come into contact with external water and oxygen, thus protecting it. 2+ It is not oxidized, even if Sn is formed. 4+ It will also be reduced to Sn by 0-valent Sn. 2+ This prevents device oxidation and deactivation. It improves the device's photoelectric conversion performance: the excellent conductivity of the dense 0-valent Sn film reduces ohmic voltage drop, thus improving the device's maximum output power and photoelectric conversion efficiency. It offers strong controllability: the thickness of the 0-valent Sn protective layer can be adjusted simply by controlling the hydrazine concentration, the amount added per unit area, and the settling time. The process is simple: it only requires common spin coating, coating, drying, and annealing processes, and has strong compatibility with existing technologies. It is low-cost: using hydrated hydrazine, methylamine, and CaCl2 as raw materials are all common chemical raw materials, without introducing expensive raw materials such as precious metals and ionic liquids, resulting in low production costs. It is beneficial for the production of large-size devices: the method used in this invention is not limited by device size and can be easily extended to the production process of large-size devices, with great industrialization potential.
