Improving the optoelectronic performance and stability of perovskite solar cells is the key to achieving the commercialization of perovskite solar cells. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of the technical problems existing in the background technology, the present application provides a perovskite solar cell, aiming to improve the photoelectric performance and stability of the perovskite solar cell.

[0005] The perovskite solar cell of the first aspect of the present application has the following beneficial effects: the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer can passivate the internal grain boundaries of the bulk phase of the perovskite layer and reduce the defect state density in the bulk phase of the perovskite layer; the phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives or crown ether derivatives in the passivation layer can not only passivate the surface defects of the perovskite layer and reduce the defect state density on the surface of the perovskite layer, but also combine with the metal cations on the surface of the perovskite layer through chelation to stabilize the perovskite lattice structure on the surface of the perovskite layer, and at the same time make the passivation layer hydrophobic, which can inhibit water from entering the perovskite layer, so that the perovskite solar cell has both good photoelectric performance and stability.

[0020] In some embodiments of the present application, the ratio of the total molar concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite solution to the molar concentration of perovskite in the perovskite solution is 0.02%-1.2%.

Thus, while effectively passivating the defects of the perovskite layer, it is beneficial to reduce the probability of a significant increase in the series resistance of the perovskite solar cell, thereby improving the photoelectric performance of the perovskite solar cell.

The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application, and are therefore only used as examples, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0035] As the global ecological environment and energy shortage problems become increasingly severe, solar photovoltaic power generation has received widespread attention. As the third-generation new solar cell, perovskite cells have become a rising star in the field of solar cells with their advantages of low cost, simple preparation process, and high efficiency. As the light absorption layer of perovskite solar cells, the quality of the perovskite layer directly affects the photoelectric performance and stability of perovskite solar cells. The perovskite layer is composed of a number of closely arranged perovskite grains, and the grain boundaries are between adjacent perovskite grains. However, there are many defects on the surface of the perovskite layer and at the grain boundaries of the perovskite grains. The presence of the above defects causes the loss of photoelectric conversion efficiency and reduces the photoelectric conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells. At the same time, the perovskite layer is sensitive to water vapor. When the perovskite solar cell is exposed to a water vapor environment, the perovskite layer is prone to decomposition, which sharply reduces the photoelectric performance and stability of the perovskite solar cell. This is not conducive to the commercialization of perovskite solar cells.
[0036] In view of the above problems, in the present application, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt are dispersed in the perovskite layer, and a passivation layer is arranged on at least one side of the surface of the perovskite layer, so that the passivation layer includes at least one of phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives, and crown ether derivatives, so that the two can play a synergistic role. On the one hand, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt can be used to passivate the internal grain boundaries of the bulk phase of the perovskite layer to reduce the defect state density in the bulk phase of the perovskite layer; on the other hand, the material included in the passivation layer can be used to passivate the surface defects of the perovskite layer to reduce the defect state density on the surface of the perovskite layer, while stabilizing the perovskite lattice structure on the surface of the perovskite layer, and making the passivation layer hydrophobic, thereby simultaneously improving the photoelectric performance and stability of the perovskite solar cell.
[0037] The perovskite solar cell disclosed in the present application belongs to a photovoltaic cell, and the perovskite solar cell disclosed in the embodiment of the present application can be used as a power source for electrical devices, or can be assembled into a photovoltaic power generation system and store electrical energy in an energy storage system composed of energy storage batteries. Electrical devices may include street lamps, signal indicator lights, insect killer lamps, electric fans, electric toys, electric tools, battery cars, electric cars, ships, spacecraft, etc., wherein electric toys may include fixed or mobile electric toys, such as game consoles, electric car toys, electric ship toys, and electric airplane toys, etc., and spacecraft may include airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, and spacecraft, etc.; photovoltaic power generation systems may include large-scale ground photovoltaic power generation systems, distributed photovoltaic power generation and building-integrated photovoltaic power generation systems, etc.
[0038] The first aspect of the present application provides a perovskite solar cell, comprising: a perovskite layer, in which ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetate are dispersed; a passivation layer, which is located on at least one side surface of the perovskite layer, and the passivation layer includes at least one of phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives, and crown ether derivatives.
[0039] refer to Figure 1 It is understood that in the perovskite solar cell disclosed in the present application, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt are dispersed in the perovskite layer 1, and the passivation layer 2 includes at least one of phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives, and crown ether derivatives. Figure 2 or Figure 3 It is understood that the perovskite solar cell generally also includes a first carrier transport layer 3 and a second carrier transport layer 4, and the perovskite layer 1 is arranged between the first carrier transport layer 3 and the second carrier transport layer 4, wherein the passivation layer 2 is provided on at least one of the side of the perovskite layer 1 close to the first carrier transport layer 3 and the side close to the second carrier transport layer 4.
[0040] In the present application, conventional technical means can be used to analyze the components in the perovskite layer and the passivation layer. For example, the analysis method used may include liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), EDS energy spectrum analysis, etc. As a specific example, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) combined with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can be used to analyze the materials of the passivation layer and the perovskite layer. The specific operation may include: after disassembling the perovskite solar cell, removing the carrier transport layer and other structures by using tape, solvent, etc. to expose at least one of the perovskite layer and the passivation layer, and then using the perovskite layer and the passivation layer to analyze the passivation layer and the passivation layer respectively. A good solvent is used to dissolve the two-layer structure respectively to obtain two liquid samples to be tested. For example, the anti-solvent of the perovskite layer, such as chlorobenzene, can be used to dissolve the passivation layer to obtain the passivation layer liquid sample to be tested, and then the good solvent of the perovskite layer, such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), can be used to dissolve the perovskite layer to obtain the perovskite layer liquid sample to be tested. Alternatively, the anti-solvent of the passivation layer can be used to dissolve the perovskite layer to obtain the perovskite layer liquid sample to be tested, and then the good solvent of the passivation layer can be used to dissolve the passivation layer to obtain the passivation layer liquid sample to be tested. The two liquid samples to be tested are respectively subjected to HPLC-MS and NMR test analysis to determine whether the perovskite layer and the passivation layer contain the material within the given range.
[0041] The ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer can passivate the internal grain boundaries of the bulk phase of the perovskite layer and reduce the defect state density in the bulk phase of the perovskite layer; the phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives or crown ether derivatives located on the surface of the perovskite layer can passivate the surface defects of the perovskite layer and reduce the defect state density on the surface of the perovskite layer. The reduction of the defect state density in the bulk phase and the surface of the perovskite layer is conducive to reducing the degree of carrier recombination and improving the performance of the perovskite layer. The photoelectric performance of high perovskite solar cells; further, the phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives or crown ether derivatives located on the surface of the perovskite layer can not only combine with the metal cations in the perovskite material located on the surface of the perovskite layer through chelation, thereby stabilizing the perovskite lattice structure on the surface of the perovskite layer and improving the stability of the perovskite layer (taking ABX3 type perovskite material as an example, A is usually a monovalent cation, such as methylamine, guanidine, Cs + , Rb + etc., B is usually a divalent metal cation, such as Pb 2+ Sn 2+ etc., X is usually a halogen anion, such as Cl - 、Br - 、Iodide ion I - The above components in the passivation layer can be combined with the B-site cations in the perovskite material located on the surface of the perovskite layer through chelation, stabilize the inorganic octahedral framework of BX, and improve the stability of the perovskite layer). At the same time, the passivation layer can also be made hydrophobic, which can inhibit water from entering the perovskite layer, and further improve the stability of the perovskite layer. Compared with the introduction of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt into the perovskite layer alone, and the passivation layer is set separately, the combination of the two can play a better synergistic effect, improve the improvement effect on the photoelectric performance and stability of the perovskite solar cell, and make the perovskite solar cell have both good photoelectric performance and stability.
[0042] The perovskite solar cell of the first aspect of the present application has the following beneficial effects: it is not only conducive to reducing the defect state density of the bulk and surface of the perovskite layer, reducing the degree of carrier recombination, and improving the photoelectric performance of the perovskite solar cell, but also can stabilize the perovskite lattice structure on the surface of the perovskite layer, and make the passivation layer hydrophobic, which can inhibit moisture from entering the perovskite layer, improve the stability of the perovskite layer and the perovskite solar cell, so that the perovskite solar cell has good photoelectric performance and stability.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, the ratio of the total molar amount of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer 1 to the molar amount of perovskite in the perovskite layer 1 may be less than or equal to 1.2%.
[0044] For example, the ratio of the total molar amount of EDTA and / or EDTA salt in the perovskite layer to the molar amount of perovskite in the perovskite layer can be 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, etc., or can be a range consisting of any of the above values. The total molar amount of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer can be determined by combining one or more analytical methods such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), EDS energy spectrum analysis, inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP), etc. For example, HPLC-MS and NMR can be combined to analyze the types of perovskite materials, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer, and then EDS energy spectrum analysis or ICP test can be used to obtain the ratio of the total molar amount of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer to the molar amount of perovskite in the perovskite layer according to the molar ratio of unique elements (such as O) in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt to the unique elements (such as Pb) in the perovskite material. In the actual preparation process, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer can be introduced through the perovskite solution or through the passivation solution. The molecules of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt are relatively small and contain a large number of coordinated atoms, which can enter the perovskite layer to increase the vacancy formation energy and passivate most of the defects in the bulk phase of the perovskite layer. It can be understood that ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt can be uniformly dispersed in the perovskite layer, or can present different dispersion concentrations in the thickness direction of the perovskite layer. For example, when the passivation layer is formed only on one of the two sides of the perovskite layer that are oppositely disposed, the total concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer can gradually decrease in the direction away from the passivation layer. The relative molar amount of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt to perovskite in the perovskite layer is controlled to meet the given range requirements. On the one hand, the passivation effect on the grain boundary defects in the bulk phase of the perovskite layer can be improved by increasing the content of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer. On the other hand, it is also beneficial to avoid excessive accumulation of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt at the perovskite grain boundaries and interfaces to increase the series resistance of the perovskite solar cell and thus affect the battery performance.
[0045] In the present application, the relative molar amounts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt and perovskite in the perovskite layer are controlled to meet the given range requirements, which is beneficial to passivating the grain boundary defects in the bulk phase of the perovskite layer while reducing the probability of a significant increase in the series resistance of the perovskite solar cell, thereby further improving the photoelectric performance of the perovskite solar cell.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the passivation layer 2 may be 10 nm-80 nm.
[0047] For example, the thickness of the passivation layer can be 10nm, 15nm, 20nm, 25nm, 30nm, 35nm, 40nm, 45nm, 50nm, 55nm, 60nm, 65nm, 70nm, 75nm, 80nm, etc., or can be the range composed of any of the above numerical values. The thickness of the passivation layer can be measured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) or an ellipsometer. In the present application, increasing the thickness of the passivation layer is conducive to improving the coverage effect of the passivation layer on the surface of the perovskite layer, improving the passivation effect on the surface defects of the perovskite layer, and further suppressing the entry of moisture into the perovskite layer. By controlling the thickness of the passivation layer to meet the given range, not only can the passivation effect on the surface defects of the perovskite layer be further improved, and further suppressing the entry of moisture into the perovskite layer, it is also conducive to avoiding the problem that the series resistance is significantly increased due to the excessive thickness of the passivation layer, thereby seriously reducing the filling factor of the perovskite solar cell.
[0048] In the present application, by controlling the thickness of the passivation layer to meet the given range, the surface defects of the perovskite layer can be further passivated while reducing the probability of a significant increase in the series resistance of the perovskite solar cell, reducing the series resistance of the perovskite solar cell, and inhibiting the entry of moisture into the perovskite layer, thereby improving the photoelectric performance and stability of the perovskite solar cell.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the perovskite solar cell may further include a substrate, the perovskite layer 1 is located on one side of the substrate, and a passivation layer 2 may be provided on a surface of the perovskite layer 1 facing away from the substrate.
[0050] refer to Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, under normal circumstances, a perovskite solar cell may include a substrate 5, a first electrode layer 6, a first carrier transport layer 3, a perovskite layer 1, a second carrier transport layer 4, and a second electrode layer 7 which are arranged in sequence. The side of the perovskite layer 1 facing away from the substrate 5 is usually called the upper surface. In practical applications, the interface defects of the perovskite layer 1 are mainly distributed on its upper surface, and water vapor also mostly enters the perovskite layer 1 from the upper surface of the perovskite layer 1. By providing a passivation layer 2 on the surface of the perovskite layer 1 facing away from the substrate 5, that is, providing a passivation layer 2 between the perovskite layer 1 and the first carrier transport layer 3, it is beneficial to further passivate the surface defects of the perovskite layer 1 and improve the photoelectric performance and stability of the perovskite solar cell.
[0051] For some specific examples, see Figure 2As shown, the passivation layer 2 can be provided only on the surface of the perovskite layer 1 facing away from the substrate 5, and no passivation layer is provided on the side of the perovskite layer 1 close to the substrate 5. Compared with providing the passivation layer on the surface of the perovskite layer facing the substrate, it is more effective to improve the photoelectric performance and stability of the perovskite solar cell; compared with providing the passivation layer on both sides of the perovskite layer, providing the passivation layer only on the surface of the perovskite layer facing away from the substrate is not only conducive to the perovskite solar cell to obtain better photoelectric performance and stability, but also can simplify the preparation process.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the perovskite solar cell may further include a metal electrode layer, and the passivation layer may be provided on a surface of the perovskite layer 1 facing the metal electrode layer.
[0053] refer to Figure 2 or Figure 3 , at least one of the first electrode layer 6 and the second electrode layer 7 in the perovskite solar cell may be a metal electrode layer. Generally, the electrode layer material of the perovskite solar cell may include an organic conductive material or an inorganic conductive material or an organic-inorganic mixed conductive material. For example, organic conductive materials include but are not limited to PEDOT (polymer of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), polythiophene, polyacetylene, etc.; inorganic conductive materials include but are not limited to FTO (fluorine-doped SnO2 conductive glass), ITO (indium tin oxide), AZO (aluminum-doped zinc oxide transparent conductive glass), metals, carbon derivatives, etc. As a specific example, when a metal electrode layer is present, such as when the second electrode layer 6 is a metal electrode layer, the metal electrode layer may generate metal ions due to corrosion or other reasons during long-term use. When the metal ions migrate through the carrier transport layer to the perovskite layer, the perovskite layer is easily degraded, which is not conducive to the structural stability of the perovskite solar cell. By providing a passivation layer on the surface of the perovskite layer facing the metal electrode layer, phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives or crown ether derivatives can be combined with the metal ions of the metal electrode layer through chelation, thereby inhibiting the migration of metal ions into the perovskite layer and improving the long-term stability of the perovskite layer.
[0054] By providing a passivation layer on the surface of the perovskite layer facing the metal electrode layer, it is helpful to inhibit metal ions generated by corrosion of the metal electrode layer from entering the perovskite layer, delay the degradation of the perovskite layer, and further improve the stability of the perovskite solar cell.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the structural formula of the perovskite material in the perovskite layer 1 may be ABX3 and / or A2CDX6, wherein A is a positive monovalent cation, which may include a methylamine group (CH3NH3 + , referred to as MA + ), carboxamidyl (HC(NH2)2+ , referred to as FA + ), cesium ion (Cs + ), rubidium (Rb + ) at least one of; B is a positive divalent metal cation, which may include Pb 2+ Sn 2+ At least one of; C is a positive monovalent metal cation, which may include Ag + ; D is a positive trivalent metal cation, which may include Bi 3+ ; X can be a halogen ion Cl - Br - ,I - Optionally, the A-position cation may be at least one of a methylamine group and a guanidine group, and the phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivative, porphyrin derivative or crown ether derivative in the passivation layer can form a hydrogen bond with the methylamine group or guanidine group in the perovskite layer, thereby inhibiting its migration, improving the structural stability of the perovskite layer, and improving the stability of the perovskite solar cell.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the band gap of the perovskite layer 1 can be 1.20 eV-2.30 eV. The band gap of the perovskite layer can be measured by an ultraviolet visible absorption test (UV-vis) method. The band gap of the perovskite layer meets the given range and can absorb most of the light in the solar spectrum, from ultraviolet to infrared, and can be effectively converted into electrical energy.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the thickness of the perovskite layer 1 can be 200nm-1000nm. For example, the thickness of the perovskite layer can be 200nm, 300nm, 400nm, 500nm, 600nm, 700nm, 800nm, 900nm, 1000nm, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above numerical values. The thickness of the perovskite layer can be measured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Increasing the thickness of the perovskite layer is conducive to improving its light absorption efficiency, and controlling the thickness of the perovskite layer to meet the given range is conducive to obtaining a higher light absorption efficiency, and is also conducive to avoiding the risk of increased internal defects due to the increase in the thickness of the perovskite layer, thereby further improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell.
[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt may be dispersed in the passivation layer 2, and the ratio of the total molar amount of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer 1 and the passivation layer 2 to the molar amount of perovskite in the perovskite layer 1 may be less than or equal to 2%.
[0059] For example, the ratio of the total molar amount of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer and the passivation layer to the molar amount of perovskite in the perovskite layer can be 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4%, 1.5%, 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%. The total molar amount of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer and the passivation layer can also be determined by combining one or more analytical methods such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), EDS energy spectrum analysis, inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP), etc. The ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the passivation layer can passivate the surface defects of the perovskite layer. Increasing the total content of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer and the passivation layer is beneficial to improving the passivation effect on grain boundary defects and surface defects in the perovskite layer.
[0060] Controlling the total molar amount of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer and the passivation layer to meet the given range is beneficial for further passivating the surface defects while passivating the grain boundary defects in the bulk phase of the perovskite layer, and can also reduce the probability of a significant increase in the series resistance of the perovskite solar cell due to the introduction of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt, thereby facilitating further improvement of the photoelectric performance and stability of the perovskite solar cell.
[0061] It can be understood that the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer can be introduced when the perovskite layer is formed, such as dispersing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite solution to prepare the perovskite layer; it can also be introduced when the passivation layer is formed, in which case ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt can be introduced into the passivation layer solution, and at the same time, at least one of phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives, and crown ether derivatives can be introduced, and after the passivation solution is coated on the surface of the perovskite layer, annealing is performed. During the annealing process, since the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt molecules are relatively small and contain a large number of coordinating atoms, most of the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid in the passivation solution Amine tetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediamine tetraacetate can migrate into the perovskite layer, increase the vacancy formation energy, and passivate most of the defects in the bulk phase of the perovskite layer. Only a small amount of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediamine tetraacetate remains in the passivation layer, while the molecules of phthalocyanine / porphyrin / crown ether and their derivatives are relatively large and can only exist on the surface of the perovskite layer. The ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediamine tetraacetate and phthalocyanine / porphyrin / crown ether and their derivatives remaining in the passivation layer can passivate the surface defects of the perovskite layer while stabilizing the perovskite lattice structure on the surface of the perovskite layer, and inhibit the entry of water and metal ions generated by corrosion of the metal electrode layer into the perovskite layer, thereby significantly improving the stability of the perovskite layer and perovskite solar cells.
[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of oxygen in the ring-forming elements of the crown ether and the crown ether derivatives is independently 4-10. The crown ethers and crown ether derivatives that meet the given conditions have good hydrophobicity, which is beneficial to further inhibit the entry of water into the perovskite layer. For example, the number of oxygen in the ring-forming elements of the crown ether can be 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and the number of oxygen in the ring-forming elements of the crown ether derivatives can be 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10; illustratively, the crown ether can include but is not limited to 12-crown-4 (CAS: 294-93-9), 15-crown-5 (CAS: 33100-27-5), 18-crown-6 (CAS: 17455-13-9), 21-crown-7 (CAS: 33089-36-0), etc. At least one of the crown ether derivatives may include but are not limited to benzo-15-crown-5 (CAS: 14098-44-3), benzo-18-crown-6 (CAS: 14098-24-9), dibenzo-18-crown-6 (CAS: 14187-32-7), dibenzo-21-crown-7 (CAS: 14098-41-0), dibenzo-24-crown-8 (CAS: 14174-09-5), dibenzo-30-crown-10 (CAS: 17455-25-3), etc.

[0072] The second aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing a perovskite solar cell, which includes: forming a perovskite layer, so that ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt are dispersed in the perovskite layer; forming a passivation layer, so that the passivation layer is located on at least one side of the surface of the perovskite layer, and the passivation layer includes at least one of phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives, and crown ether derivatives. Phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives, and crown ether derivatives are used to passivate the surface defects of the perovskite layer and belong to surface passivation materials. It should be noted that the characteristics and effects described for the perovskite solar cell are also applicable to the preparation method of the perovskite solar cell, and will not be repeated here. In general, the method for preparing a perovskite solar cell in the second aspect of the present application is conducive to improving the photoelectric performance and stability of the perovskite solar cell.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, a perovskite layer may be formed first, and then a passivation layer may be formed on the surface of the perovskite layer.
[0074] In some other embodiments of the present application, a passivation layer may be formed first, and then a perovskite layer may be formed on the surface of the passivation layer.
[0075] In some other embodiments of the present application, a first passivation layer may be formed first, and then a perovskite layer may be formed on the surface of the first passivation layer, and then a second passivation layer may be formed on the surface of the perovskite layer facing away from the first passivation layer, wherein the materials of the first passivation layer and the second passivation layer may be the same or different, and the thicknesses of the first passivation layer and the second passivation layer may be the same or different.
[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, the perovskite layer may be formed using a perovskite solution, and the passivation layer may be formed using a passivation solution. At least one of the perovskite solution and the passivation solution may contain ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetate.
[0077] For example, as some specific examples, when the perovskite solution contains ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt, the passivation solution may contain ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt, or may not contain ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt; as some other specific examples, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt may be dispersed only in the passivation solution, as described above, after the passivation solution is coated on the surface of the perovskite layer, annealing is performed, and during the annealing process, most of the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the passivation solution can migrate to the perovskite layer. The perovskite solar cell prepared by the above method can achieve the effect of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt dispersed in the perovskite layer.
[0078] Specifically, the step of forming the perovskite layer using the perovskite solution may include coating the perovskite solution and first annealing; the step of forming the passivation layer using the passivation solution may include coating the passivation solution and second annealing. In addition, when the passivation layer is formed on the surface of the perovskite layer, if the passivation solution contains ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt, the perovskite layer can be prepared by a solution method or by other methods, such as chemical vapor deposition.
[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, in the passivation solution, the sum of the concentrations of phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives, and crown ether derivatives may be 0.1 mg / mL-8 mg / mL.
[0080] For example, in the passivation solution, the concentration sum of phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives, and crown ether derivatives used as surface passivation materials can be 0.1 mg / mL, 0.5 mg / mL, 1 mg / mL, 2 mg / mL, 3 mg / mL, 4 mg / mL, 5 mg / mL, 6 mg / mL, 7 mg / mL or 8 mg / mL, etc., or can be the range composed of any of the above numerical values. The concentration of the surface passivation material in the passivation solution directly affects the thickness of the passivation layer. Increasing the concentration of the surface passivation material in the passivation solution is conducive to improving the coverage effect of the passivation layer on the surface of the perovskite layer, and improving the passivation effect on the surface defects of the perovskite layer.
[0081] Controlling the concentrations of phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives, and crown ether derivatives in the passivation solution to meet the given range requirements is beneficial to regulating the thickness of the passivation layer so that the passivation layer has an appropriate thickness, which is beneficial for effectively passivating the surface defects of the perovskite layer and inhibiting the entry of moisture into the perovskite layer, and is also beneficial for reducing the probability of a significant increase in the series resistance of the perovskite solar cell, thereby further improving the photoelectric performance and stability of the perovskite solar cell.
[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the ratio of the total molar concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite solution to the molar concentration of perovskite in the perovskite solution may be 0.02%-1.2%.
[0083] When the perovskite layer is prepared by a solution method, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt can be introduced into the perovskite solution. At this time, the ratio of the total molar concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite solution to the molar concentration of perovskite in the perovskite solution can be 0.02%, 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.20%, 0.40%, 0.60%, 0.80%, 1.00%, 1.20%, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above values, which can be selected as 0.4%-1%. As a specific example, when the molar concentration of perovskite in the perovskite solution is 1.5 mol / L, the total molar concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite solution can be 0.0003 mol / L-0.018 mol / L.
[0084] Controlling the total molar concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite solution to meet the given range is beneficial to passivating the grain boundary defects in the bulk phase of the perovskite layer while reducing the probability of a significant increase in the series resistance of the perovskite solar cell, thereby improving the photoelectric performance of the perovskite solar cell.
[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the ratio of the total molar concentration of EDTA and / or EDTA salt in the passivation solution to the molar concentration of perovskite in the perovskite solution may be 0.02%-2%.
[0086] For example, the ratio of the total molar concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the passivation solution to the molar concentration of perovskite in the perovskite solution can be 0.02%, 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.40%, 0.80%, 1.20%, 1.60%, 1.80%, 2%, etc., or can be a range composed of any of the above values, which can be selected as 0.60%-1.5%. As a specific example, when the molar concentration of perovskite in the perovskite solution is 1.5 mol / L, the total molar concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the passivation solution can be 0.0003 mol / L-0.03 mol / L. When a passivation solution is coated on the perovskite layer to form a passivation layer, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the passivation solution can migrate to the perovskite layer during the annealing process, and only a small amount remains in the passivation layer. In the actual operation process, the concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the passivation solution can be flexibly adjusted according to whether the perovskite solution contains ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt, and the concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite solution. In addition, as a specific example, when a first passivation layer is formed in advance, a perovskite layer is then formed on the surface of the first passivation layer, and then a second passivation layer is formed on the surface of the perovskite layer away from the first passivation layer. The total molar concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the passivation solution (i.e., the passivation solution used to form the second passivation layer) can be controlled to meet the given range requirements.
[0087] Controlling the total molar concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and / or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the passivation solution to meet the given range is beneficial to effectively passivating the defects of the perovskite layer while reducing the probability of a significant increase in the series resistance of the perovskite solar cell, thereby improving the photoelectric performance of the perovskite solar cell.

Among them, the process conditions controlled when preparing each layer structure of the perovskite solar cell can be conventionally selected in the art.

[0103] Performance Test:

[0115] Results and Conclusions:
[0116] Comprehensively comparing the XPS test spectra of the perovskite layer samples and passivation layer samples prepared in Examples 1 to 32 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7, combined with the shift of the lead element peak in the spectra, it can be seen that dispersing ethylenediaminetetraacetate in the perovskite layer, or forming a passivation layer including phthalocyanine, porphyrin, crown ether, phthalocyanine derivatives, porphyrin derivatives or crown ether derivatives, are all beneficial to passivating the defects of the perovskite layer. Among them, Figure 4 The XPS spectra of the perovskite layer samples prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and 3 of the present application are as follows: Figure 4 It can be seen that, relative to the perovskite layer sample prepared in Comparative Example 1, the peak of the lead element in the perovskite layer sample prepared in Comparative Example 3 shifted, which indicates that the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt in the perovskite layer reacted with the lead element in the perovskite layer to passivate the lead defects.
[0117] It can be seen from Examples 1 to 32, Comparative Examples 1 to 7 and Table 1 that in the embodiments of the present application, by introducing ethylenediaminetetraacetate into the perovskite layer and forming a passivation layer on the surface of the perovskite layer, the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell can be improved at the same time, and compared with only introducing ethylenediaminetetraacetate into the perovskite layer or only forming a passivation layer, the combination of the two schemes in the present application has a better effect on improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell, which is greater than the sum of the effects of using the two schemes alone. The main reason for the analysis is that the introduction of ethylenediaminetetraacetate into the perovskite layer and the formation of a passivation layer on the surface of the perovskite layer can not only effectively reduce the overall defect state density in the perovskite solar cell, but also produce a synergistic effect; further, under the same conditions, in the perovskite solution or the passivation layer, the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell can be improved. Introducing ethylenediaminetetraacetate into the passivation solution can produce good effects, and, at the same ethylenediaminetetraacetate dosage, the effect of introducing ethylenediaminetetraacetate into the perovskite solution is better than that of introducing it into the passivation solution. The main reason for this is that during the annealing process of the passivation layer, most of the ethylenediaminetetraacetate in the passivation solution can migrate to the perovskite layer, and a small amount of ethylenediaminetetraacetate remains in the passivation layer, which weakens the passivation effect on the bulk defects of the perovskite layer to a certain extent; optionally, the ratio of the molar amount of ethylenediaminetetraacetate in the perovskite layer to the molar amount of perovskite in the perovskite layer can be made less than or equal to 1.2%, and further optionally, the ratio of the total molar amount of ethylenediaminetetraacetate in the perovskite layer and the passivation layer to the molar amount of perovskite in the perovskite layer can be made less than or equal to 2%.
