Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic small molecule hole transport materials technology, specifically relating to dihydroindofluorene conjugated organic small molecule hole transport materials, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] The global energy crisis is becoming increasingly severe, and "innovation in high-efficiency solar energy utilization technology" has been listed as one of the 15 key innovation tasks. Photovoltaic technology can directly convert solar energy into electricity and utilize it, making it one of the most effective means of high-efficiency solar energy utilization. Quantum dot solar cells (QDSCs) have characteristics such as tunable bandgap and doping type, strong visible-infrared absorption, and multi-exciton effects. Single-junction QDSCs have a theoretical efficiency of up to 44%, making them one of the hot topics in third-generation photovoltaic technology with enormous development potential [Adv. Energy Mater. 2021, 11, 2003 457.]. Among them, lead sulfide quantum dot solar cells (PbS-QDSCs) exhibit outstanding stability and are the most promising candidate to break the Shockley-Quisser efficiency limit, with the highest certified efficiency reaching 13.3%, attracting significant attention [Nat. Commun. 2020, 11, 103; Adv. Mater. 2021, 33, 2008 115.].

[0003] Currently, high-performance PbS-QDSCs generally employ a device structure combining heterojunctions and quantum dot junctions. The introduction of electron transport layers (ETLs) and hole transport layers (HTLs) is essential for improving device performance [Nat. Energy 2019, 4, 969-976; ACS Energy Lett. 2020, 5, 2335-2342.]. In particular, since Chuang et al. first reported the use of 1,2-ethylenedithiol (EDT) as HTL passivation in 2014, PbS-QDSCs have achieved continuous improvements in surface modification and device engineering, with their photoelectric conversion efficiency increasing from 8.5% to the current 13.8% [Adv. Mater. 2020, 32, 2004657; Nat. Mater. 2014, 13, 796-801; Joule 2020, 4, 1542-1556.]. To date, EDT is the commonly used HTL material in PbS-QDSCs, and PbS-EDT has been widely proven to introduce additional defects and increase Vt. ocThe process of preparing PbS-QDSCs suffers from drawbacks such as high energy loss and complex fabrication processes, which hinder large-area fabrication [Adv. Mater. 2021, 33, 2008 115]. In attempts to replace EDT materials, some p-type organic polymers (PTB7-Th, PBDTTT-ET, TIPS-TPD, etc.) have been used as high-performance metamaterials (HTMs) in PbS-QDSCs, achieving photoelectric efficiencies exceeding 12%. This demonstrates that by rationally adjusting the molecular structure and heterojunction composition, it is possible to improve surface and interface defects and increase VT. oc In terms of device efficiency, it is highly feasible [Nat. Energy 2019, 4, 969-976; Adv. Energy Mater. 2020, 10, 1902933.]. However, compared to organic polymer materials, pure organic small molecule materials have advantages such as low raw material cost, easier modification and adjustment of structure and doping type, expansion of conjugated system to improve material thermal stability, and large electron barrier to reduce back current leakage, making them an ideal choice for HTM.

[0004] Therefore, the development of the interface has fewer defects and V oc Non-EDT hole transport materials (HTMs) with low loss and high hole mobility are of great significance for further improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of PbS-QDSCs. Summary of the Invention

[0078] 2.2 Fabrication of Lead Sulfide Quantum Dot Solar Cells

[0079] Step 1: Prepare PbS-I quantum dot solids;

[0080] 8 mmol PbI₂ (3.688 mg) and 2 mmol (0.4526 mg) DPhTA were mixed and added to a nitrogen-filled glove box at room temperature and dissolved in 9 mL DMF with stirring. After the solid was completely dissolved in DMF (N,N-dimethylamide), 1 mL BTA (n-butylamine) was added. The solution immediately turned black. After reacting for 5 min, 50 mL toluene was added as an antisolvent, and the mixture was shaken and centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 5 min. The waste liquid was then poured out in the glove box, and the mixture was then placed in a vacuum chamber for 12 min. PbS-I quantum dot solids were finally obtained.

[0081] Step 2, pre-treat the transparent conductive substrate ITO;

[0082] The transparent conductive substrate ITO was ultrasonically cleaned sequentially with deionized water, acetone, and isopropanol for 30 minutes. The dried ITO substrate was then set aside for use. The transparent conductive substrate ITO was treated with oxygen plasma for 10 minutes to remove any remaining organic residues.

[0083] Step 3: In a fume hood, spin-coat the ZnO nano solution onto the pretreated transparent conductive substrate ITO at 5000 rpm for 20 seconds, and spin-coat two layers.

[0084] Step 4: After waiting for more than two hours following Step 3, prepare the PbS-I quantum dot solid in Step 1 using a mixed solution of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), acetonitrile (ACN), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (volume ratio 10:10:1) to prepare a solution with a concentration of 600 mg / mL. -1The solution was immediately centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 1 min. Then it was spin-coated onto the ZnO layer from step 3 at 2,000 rpm for 40 s, followed by annealing at 70 °C for 15 min in a glove box.

[0085] Step 5: Prepare a 0.04% 1,2-ethylenedithiol solution (the solvent is a mixed solvent of ethyl acetate and acetonitrile = 1:2), then apply 20 mg / mL of the solution at 850 nm. -1 Lead sulfide quantum dots (preparation steps are the same as in step S1, but the obtained size and concentration are different) were spin-coated onto the functional layer of step 4 at 3000 rpm for 10 s. Then, the film was treated with 0.04% 1,2-ethylenedithiol solution and allowed to stand for 30 s. After that, it was spin-coated at 3000 rpm for 10 s. Then, the film was cleaned three times with a washing solution of ethyl acetate:acetonitrile = 1:2 (v / v) by spin-coating at 3000 rpm for 10 s.

[0086] Step 6: After placing the product from Step 4 in a drying oven for 12 hours, transfer it to a glove box and dissolve the MeOP-DSF in chlorobenzene (CB) to prepare a solution of 3 mg / mL. -1 The solution was spin-coated onto the cavity layer from step 5 at 3000 rpm for 30 seconds. It was then annealed at 80°C for 10 minutes in a glove box.

[0087] Step 7, first use vacuum evaporation method to... 9nm MoO3 was deposited at a rate of [speed not specified], and then [further details not specified]. At a speed of 80 nm, Ag is deposited onto the top layer of the device as an electrode.

[0088] Comparative Example 1

[0089] The comparative preparation of lead sulfide quantum dot solar cells follows essentially the same steps as the examples, except for the spin-coating preparation of the 1,2-ethylenedithiol hole layer in step 5, and the absence of step 6. The specific steps are as follows: First, a 0.02% (v / v) 1,2-ethylenedithiol solution with a volume ratio of ethyl acetate:acetonitrile = 1:2 is prepared. Then, 20 mg / mL of 850 nm... -1 Lead sulfide quantum dots were spin-coated onto the ZnO layer in step 4 at 3000 rpm for 10 s, then treated with 0.02% 1,2-ethylenedithiol solution and allowed to stand for 30 s. Afterward, the coating was spin-coated at 3000 rpm for 10 s, followed by three washes with a washing solution of ethyl acetate:acetonitrile (volume ratio 1:2) at 3000 rpm for 10 s each time. Steps 1-4 and 7 were the same as in the example.

[0090] like Figure 1 As shown, the lead sulfide quantum dot solar cell structure is ITO / ZnO / PbS-I / PbS-EDT / Alk-DSFor MeOP-DSF / MoO3 / Ag, corresponding to Example 1 and Example 2, respectively.

[0091] Figure 2 This is a diagram showing the energy level arrangement of a lead sulfide quantum dot solar cell based on a hybrid hole transport layer of 1,2-ethanedithiol and dihydroindendrofluorene conjugated organic small molecule Alk-DSF or MeOP-DSF hole transport materials, as described in this invention. As shown in the diagram, the introduction of the organic small molecule functional material Alk-DSF or MeOP-DSF forms a quantum dot / organic material heterojunction in the hybrid hole transport material, enhancing the internal electric field and interface charge extraction of the device.

[0092] Figure 3 The figure shows the JV curves of the lead sulfide quantum dot solar cells prepared in the comparative and exemplary embodiments of this invention. As can be seen from the figure, the perovskite solar cells based on EDT / Alk-DSF and MeOP-DSF hole transport materials prepared in the exemplary embodiments achieved PCEs of 9.3% and 11.1%, respectively. Clearly, the presence of benzyl groups in MeOP-DSF corrects the HOMO, reduces energy level loss, and forms a hybrid hole transport material more conducive to charge transport, resulting in a quantum dot / organic material heterojunction and higher efficiency. In contrast, the comparative embodiment using EDT as the hole transport layer only achieved a PCE of 7.4%.

[0093] Figure 4 The figures show the IPCE curves of the lead sulfide quantum dot solar cells prepared in the examples and comparative examples. As can be seen from the figures, the monochromatic light response values ​​of the lead sulfide quantum dot perovskite solar cells based on EDT / Alk-DSF and MeOP-DSF hole transport materials prepared in the examples are both higher than those of the comparative examples, achieving 26.2 mA / cm² after integration. -2 and 28.4mAcm -2 The photocurrent density was significantly higher than that of the EDT-based cell, which, when used as the hole transport layer, only achieved 24.1 mA / cm². -2 Photocurrent density, and Figure 3 The photocurrent obtained from the JV curve test is consistent with that of the photocurrent, which further verifies that the presence of benzyl groups in MeOP-DSF corrects the HOMO and reduces energy level loss, forming a hybrid hole transport material that is more conducive to charge transport. This results in the formation of a quantum dot / organic material heterojunction and higher efficiency.
