By providing a reflective layer, the energy utilization rate of the cell can be further improved.
[0044] In another embodiment of this application, a method for manufacturing a perovskite radiant photovoltaic cell is proposed.

[0049] Example 1
[0050] A glass substrate with a size of 2.0cm×2.0cm and covered with a 550nm FTO conductive layer was taken. The surface of the FTO conductive glass was cleaned twice with acetone and isopropanol respectively. Then it was immersed in deionized water and ultrasonically treated for 10 minutes. After drying in a forced-air drying oven, it was placed in a glove box (N2 atmosphere) and used as the first electrode.
[0051] A 3wt% SnO2 nanocolloid aqueous solution was spin-coated onto the FTO conductive layer using a spin coater (LEBO EZ6-S, the same below) at a speed of 5000 rpm.

[0060] The first electrode is formed in the same manner as in Example 1.
[0061] A 3wt% NiOx nanocolloid aqueous solution was spin-coated onto the obtained FTO conductive layer using a spin coater at a speed of 4000 rpm. The layer was then heated at 300 °C for 60 min on a constant temperature hot plate to obtain a first charge transport layer with a thickness of 15 nm.

The layer was then heated at 100 °C for 10 min on a constant-temperature hot plate to obtain a second charge transport layer with a thickness of 60 nm. This second charge transport layer is an electron transport layer.
[0064] The sample, which already has the first electrode, first charge transport layer, perovskite layer, and second charge transport layer formed, is placed in a vacuum coating machine and coated at 5 × 10⁻⁶. -4 Under vacuum conditions of Pa, co-evaporation was performed on the surface of the obtained second charge transport layer. 63 NiCl x and Au, 63 NiCl x A radiation-induced Au electrode with a thickness of 80 nm was obtained by using an Au evaporation rate ratio of 0.1:1, which was then used as the second electrode.
[0065] Thus, the perovskite radiant photovoltaic cell of Example 3 was obtained.
[0066] Example 4
[0067] The sample, which has a first electrode, a first charge transport layer, a perovskite layer, and a second charge transport layer formed in the same manner as in Example 1, was placed in a vacuum coating machine and coated at 5 × 10⁻⁶ mm. -4 Under vacuum conditions of Pa, Hg was co-deposited on the surface of the obtained second charge transport layer. 35 S and Ag, Hg 35 The ratio of S to Ag evaporation rates was 0.1:1, resulting in a radiation-induced Ag electrode with a thickness of 80 nm, which was used as the second electrode.
[0068] Thus, the perovskite radiant photovoltaic cell of Example 4 was obtained.
[0069] Comparative Example 1
[0070] The sample, which has a first electrode, a first charge transport layer, a perovskite layer, and a second charge transport layer formed in the same manner as in Example 1, was placed in a vacuum coating machine and coated at 5 × 10⁻⁶ mm. -4 Under vacuum conditions of Pa, an Ag electrode with a thickness of 80 nm was deposited on the surface of the obtained second charge transport layer.

[0071] Comparative Example 2
[0072] The sample, which has a first electrode, a first charge transport layer, a perovskite layer, and a second charge transport layer formed in the same manner as in Example 1, was placed in a vacuum coating machine and coated at 5 × 10⁻⁶ mm.-4 Under vacuum conditions of Pa, an Ag electrode layer with a thickness of 80 nm was deposited as the second electrode. Then, the evaporation source was changed to... 63 NiCl x A radiation source layer with a thickness of 10 nm was deposited on the surface of the second electrode, thereby forming the perovskite radiation photovoltaic cell of Comparative Example 2.
[0073] Performance testing of perovskite radiant photovoltaic cells
[0074] Performance tests were conducted on the perovskite radiant photovoltaic cells of the examples and comparative examples.
[0075] Specifically, under atmospheric conditions, an AM1.5G standard light source was used as the simulated sunlight source. A four-channel digital source meter (Keithley 2440) was used to measure the battery's current-voltage characteristic curve under illumination, obtaining the battery's open-circuit voltage Voc, short-circuit current density Jsc, and fill factor FF. The battery's energy conversion efficiency Eff was then calculated. The battery's energy conversion efficiency is calculated using the following formula:
[0076] Eff = Pout / Popp
[0077] =Voc×Jsc×(Vmpp×Jmpp) / (Voc×Jsc)
[0078] =Voc×Jsc×FF
[0079] Where Pout, Popp, Vmpp, and Jmpp are the battery's operating output power, incident light power, battery's maximum power point voltage, and maximum power point current, respectively.
[0080] The band distribution of the charge transport layer and electrodes was measured using an Escalab 250Xi X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) instrument (from Thermo Scientific) at room temperature and pressure.
[0081] The results are recorded in Table 1.
[0082]
[0083] As can be seen from the comparison between Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Example 1, the energy conversion efficiency of the battery can be improved by forming a radiated second electrode.
[0084] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, by forming a radiation electrode, compared with forming an electrode layer and a radiation source layer separately, not only can the energy conversion efficiency of the battery be improved, but the electrode and radiation source can also be formed integrally, reducing the number of processes and reducing the thickness of the electrode layer and radiation source, thereby achieving battery miniaturization.
[0085] A comparison of Examples 1-3 and Example 4 shows that by selecting the materials for each layer, the difference between the Fermi level of the second electrode and the conduction band bottom level and the difference between the valence band top level of the second charge transport layer can meet specific ranges, thereby achieving better battery energy conversion efficiency.
