[0002] After more than ten years of development, organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells are in the process of commercialization. The stability problem of perovskite solar cells is still a key technical point that needs to be solved urgently. Because the uncoordinated exposed ions on the surface of perovskite are prone to polarization reactions during the preparation process and the use of the device, interface defects will appear, inducing the degradation of the perovskite layer, and eventually leading to the gradual failure of the device. Studies have shown that interface engineering in perovskite solar cell devices has a huge impact on the device.

[0043] An embodiment of the present application provides a perovskite light-absorbing layer, which includes a perovskite light-absorbing material and a passivation material. A passivation precursor for forming the passivation material includes at least one of substituted or unsubstituted vinylpyridine and its derivatives. The mass ratio of the passivation precursor to the perovskite precursor for forming the perovskite light-absorbing material is 0.0001~0.008:1.
[0044] The perovskite light-absorbing layer of the present application includes a perovskite light-absorbing material and a passivation material. A substituted or unsubstituted vinyl pyridine and its derivatives with a simple molecular structure, low cost and easy availability are used as a passivation precursor, and the mass ratio of the passivation precursor to the perovskite precursor that forms the perovskite light-absorbing material is controlled. The formed passivation material will be stably present at the grain boundaries and interfaces, and the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom will coordinate with the uncoordinated exposed ions to achieve the passivation function of the grain boundaries and interface defects, thereby effectively improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell and the stability performance of the perovskite solar cell.
[0045] It can be understood that the mass ratio of the passivation precursor to the perovskite precursor that forms the perovskite light-absorbing material includes but is not limited to 0.0001:1, 0.0005:1, 0.001:1, 0.0015:1, 0.002:1, 0.0025:1, 0.003:1, 0.0035:1, 0.004:1, 0.0045:1, 0.005:1, 0.0055:1, 0.006:1, 0.0065:1, 0.007:1, 0.0075:1, 0.008:1; in some examples, it can be within the range formed by any two of these point values as end values, the same below.
[0046] Optionally, the mass ratio of the passivation precursor to the perovskite precursor for forming the perovskite light absorbing material is 0.001-0.006:1.
[0047] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the passivation precursor to the perovskite precursor for forming the perovskite light absorbing material is 0.001-0.004:1.
[0048] By controlling the mass ratio of the passivation precursor to the perovskite precursor that forms the perovskite light-absorbing material, the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite cell can be further improved.
[0049] The study found that when butylpyridine and other pyridine derivative small molecules are directly added to the perovskite precursor solution as passivation materials, the efficiency decreases rapidly during device operation and the stability is poor. Analysis shows that the interactions between these independent pyridine derivative small molecules are mainly hydrogen bonds, dispersion forces, and van der Waals forces, and they cannot form a stable passivation molecular network to resist the gradual decomposition of perovskite during device operation.
[0050] In some of these examples, the substituents in the substituted vinyl pyridine in the perovskite light absorbing layer include halogen, nitro, cyano, carboxyl, C1~C 10 Alkyl and C1~C 10 At least one of the alkoxy groups.
[0051] Understandably, C1~C 10Alkyl refers to an alkyl group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms. 10 Alkyl refers to an alkoxy group with 1 to 10 carbon atoms; further, C1~C 10 The alkyl group includes but is not limited to at least one of methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, etc., wherein the propyl group includes at least one of n-propyl and isopropyl, and the butyl group includes at least one of n-butyl, isobutyl, tert-butyl and sec-butyl, etc.; the halogen group includes but is not limited to at least one of F, Cl, Br, I, etc.

[0055] It can be understood that the perovskite light-absorbing layer includes a perovskite light-absorbing material and a passivation material, including two methods: bulk passivation and surface passivation:

[0058] Among them, bulk passivation is to reduce the bulk defect density by introducing passivation materials into the bulk phase (internal main part) of the perovskite material, thereby improving the overall stability and photoelectric performance of the perovskite light-absorbing layer; surface passivation is to reduce the surface defect density by introducing a passivation layer on the surface of the perovskite material layer, thereby improving the surface properties of the perovskite light-absorbing layer.
[0059] In some of these examples, the thickness of the passivation layer in the perovskite absorber is 1 nm to 100 nm.
[0060] It will be appreciated that the thickness of the passivation layer includes but is not limited to 1 nm, 5 nm, 10 nm, 15 nm, 20 nm, 25 nm, 30 nm, 35 nm, 40 nm, 45 nm, 50 nm, 55 nm, 60 nm, 65 nm, 70 nm, 75 nm, 80 nm, 85 nm, 90 nm, 95 nm, and 100 nm.
[0061] In some of these examples, the thickness of the perovskite material layer in the perovskite light-absorbing layer is 400 nm to 1000 nm.
[0062] It can be understood that the thickness of the perovskite material layer includes but is not limited to 400 nm, 500 nm, 600 nm, 700 nm, 800 nm, 900 nm, and 1000 nm.

[0064] It can be understood that the thickness ratio of the passivation layer to the perovskite material layer includes but is not limited to 0.001:1, 0.005:1, 0.01:1, 0.02:1, and 0.025:1.
[0065] In some of the examples, in the perovskite light-absorbing layer, the perovskite light-absorbing material includes ABX3, A is a monovalent cation, B is a divalent cation, and X is a monovalent anion.
[0066] It is understood that the present application does not limit the types of A monovalent cation, B divalent cation, and X monovalent anion in ABX3, and any type that can be used as a light absorbing material in the art can be used.

[0077] It is understood that the concentration of the passivation precursor in the precursor mixture solution includes but is not limited to 1 mg / mL, 2 mg / mL, 3 mg / mL, 4 mg / mL, 5 mg / mL, 6 mg / mL, 7 mg / mL, and 8 mg / mL.
[0078] Optionally, in step S10, the concentration of the passivation precursor in the precursor mixed solution is 1 mg / mL to 5 mg / mL.
[0079] Furthermore, in step S10, the concentration of the passivation precursor in the precursor mixed solution is 1 mg / mL to 3 mg / mL.
[0080] In some of the examples, in step S20, the first annealing treatment includes sequentially performing a low-temperature annealing treatment and a high-temperature annealing treatment; the temperature of the low-temperature annealing treatment is 50°C~95°C, and the time is 5 min~20 min; the temperature of the high-temperature annealing treatment is 100°C~150°C, and the time is 16 min~60 min.
[0081] It can be understood that the temperature of the low-temperature annealing treatment includes but is not limited to 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, 70°C, 75°C, 80°C, 85°C, 90°C, and 95°C, and the time includes but is not limited to 5 min, 8 min, 10 min, 12 min, 15 min, 18 min, and 20 min; the temperature of the high-temperature annealing treatment includes but is not limited to 100°C, 105°C, 110°C, 115°C, 120°C, 125°C, 130°C, 135°C, 140°C, 145°C, and 150°C, and the time includes but is not limited to 16 min, 20 min, 25 min, 30 min, 35min, 40 min, 45 min, 50 min, 55 min, and 60 min.
[0082] Optionally, in step S20, the temperature of the low-temperature annealing treatment is 70° C. to 90° C., and the time is 5 min to 15 min.
[0083] Optionally, in step S20, the high temperature annealing treatment is performed at a temperature of 100°C to 120°C and for a time of 16 min to 40 min.
[0084] By sequentially performing low temperature annealing treatment and high temperature annealing treatment, it is ensured that the vinyl monomer can be fully cross-linked.

[0089] Vinylpyridine has a simple molecular structure and low cost. The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom will coordinate with the uncoordinated exposed ions to achieve the passivation function of grain boundaries and interface defects. The presence of vinyl groups enables vinylpyridine to achieve in-situ thermal crosslinking during annealing, enhancing the stability of the coordinated passivation functional layer.

[0179] Some parameters of various embodiments and comparative examples are shown in Table 1.
[0180] The perovskite cells prepared in each embodiment and comparative example were subjected to performance tests of open circuit voltage, short circuit current density, fill factor and energy conversion efficiency. The IV curve was used for the test. The test conditions were: AM 1.5G standard solar spectrum, irradiance of 1000W / m 2 The experimental test results are shown in Table 1. PCE represents the energy conversion efficiency in %, Voc represents the open circuit voltage in V, and Jsc represents the short circuit current density in mA / cm 2 , FF stands for fill factor, the unit is %.
[0181] The battery was placed at 100°C for 200 h for stability testing. The percentage of the photoelectric conversion efficiency decayed to the initial efficiency after 200 h is shown in Table 1.
[0182] Table 1
[0183]
[0184] As can be seen from Table 1, compared with the comparative example, the embodiment uses vinyl pyridine compounds as passivation precursors, and the prepared perovskite battery has higher photoelectric conversion efficiency and better stability; while comparative example 2 uses pyridine for bulk passivation, and comparative example 6 uses phenethylammonium iodide for surface passivation, and its photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability are obviously not as good as those of the embodiment; comparative example 3 directly uses poly (4-vinyl pyridine) for bulk passivation. Due to the entangled network structure and larger molecular size characteristics of the polymer molecules themselves, after part of the pyridine forms coordination passivation with the defects, the other parts of the polymer are restricted in the passivation defect area and cannot move, resulting in self-aggregation to form a polymer molecular defect center, and it may also lead to the inability to achieve passivation effect on defects in other regions. Therefore, the overall passivation effect is worse than that of the small molecule self-crosslinking passivator.

To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
