Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of novel material solar cells, specifically to a zinc- and cobalt-doped NiO for inverted perovskite solar cells. X Thin film preparation methods. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials have advantages such as good light absorption coefficient, long charge diffusion length, excellent carrier transport performance, and tunable band gap width. These materials can effectively absorb sunlight, efficiently generate photogenerated carriers, and reduce energy loss. Perovskite-based solar cells have attracted widespread attention due to their rapidly improving efficiency, with the conversion efficiency of these cells jumping from the initial 3.8% to 26.1%.
[0003] NiOX is a P-type semiconductor material with advantages such as good transparency, high hole mobility and strong chemical stability. As a hole transport layer material, it can effectively improve the open-circuit voltage of perovskite solar cells. However, the low conductivity of NiOX itself leads to a reduction in the carrier recombination and hole extraction capabilities of perovskite solar cells, resulting in a lower device fill factor and short-circuit current, thus affecting the performance of the cell. Currently, the conductivity of NiOX can be improved through effective doping. Patent 201710094986.7 discloses a method for preparing silver-doped nickel oxide thin films, which involves dissolving nickel nitrate hexahydrate and silver nitrate in an ethylene glycol solution containing diethylamine to prepare a mixed precursor solution of nickel nitrate and silver nitrate, which is then spin-coated onto a substrate and heated at 300°C for 60-80 minutes. Patent 201811227041.9 discloses a lithium-silver co-doped nickel oxide thin film, which involves dissolving Ni(NO3)2·6H2O, LiNO3, and AgNO3 in deionized water by stirring, adjusting the pH to 9.8-10 by adding NaOH solution dropwise, and calcining at 270°C after washing and drying to obtain lithium-silver co-doped nickel oxide nanoparticles. These particles are then dissolved in water and spin-coated into a film. The preparation methods of the doped nickel oxide thin films disclosed in the above patents all adopt the solution method. This method requires high-temperature post-treatment, the preparation process is cumbersome, and the repeatability and controllability of the samples are poor, so it cannot be applied to large-scale industrial production. In addition, the doping element silver is a precious metal, and the application cost is high. Summary of the Invention
