Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic solar energy materials technology, and more specifically, to a perovskite solar cell with an organic polymer molecule-modified perovskite layer and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Since the beginning of the 21st century, human demand for and dependence on energy has increased dramatically. Non-renewable traditional fossil fuels are being rapidly depleted, and burning fossil fuels also causes environmental pollution problems such as the greenhouse effect and acid rain. Therefore, developing and utilizing renewable energy sources such as hydropower, wind power, and solar energy to replace traditional fossil fuels is crucial. Among these, solar energy resources are abundant, inexpensive, inexhaustible, and have broad application prospects. Solar cells are devices that convert solar energy into electrical energy and are currently the most efficient way to utilize solar energy. Currently, the power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells has increased significantly from 3.87% to 26.1%, and they also possess advantages such as excellent device performance, low manufacturing cost, and solution-processable fabrication, demonstrating enormous commercial potential.

[0003] However, since perovskite layers are mostly polycrystalline perovskite films prepared by solution methods, a large number of defects usually exist in the perovskite body, at the interface, and at the grain boundaries. Among them, uncoordinated Pb exists at the grain boundaries and the surface. 2+ The presence of defects can lead to nonradiative recombination of charge carriers, affecting device performance. Furthermore, perovskite is an ionic semiconductor material, exhibiting poor humidity stability and decomposing upon contact with water. Currently, perovskite solar cells still face numerous challenges, hindering their widespread adoption and application. Therefore, developing a perovskite layer modifier to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells is of great significance.

[0004] CN 117979781 A discloses an inverted perovskite solar cell. The hole transport layer is formed using functionalized nickel oxide nanoparticles, which are prepared by surface hydroxylation treatment followed by grafting with self-assembled materials. The perovskite layer is prepared from a mixed solution of PbI2, FAI, MABr, MACl, CsI, and PbBr2. While existing technologies effectively improve the photoelectric efficiency of inverted perovskite solar cells, this invention does not address the stability of perovskite solar cells.

The test structure of Example 1 was ITO / perovskite layer / perovskite modified layer, and the test structure of Comparative Example 1 was ITO / perovskite layer.

[0115] The test results of the current density and voltage characteristic curves of the perovskite solar cells in the examples and comparative examples are shown in Table 1.

[0116] Table 1. Test results of current density and voltage characteristic curves.

[0117]

[0118] Table 1 shows that linear polyethyleneimine modifiers can increase the photoelectric conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells from 19.31% to 20.68%–22.87%. This indicates that linear polyethyleneimine interacts with uncoordinated Pb at the perovskite grain boundaries and surface via hydroxyl groups. 2+ Interacting with each other, effectively passivating lead ion defects; also through secondary amine groups and unsaturated I - Hydrogen bonds are formed, inhibiting ion migration. This improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells. As shown in Comparative Examples 2 and 1, adding linear polyethyleneimine solution to the perovskite layer may disrupt the crystallinity of the perovskite layer, leading to a decrease in the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell.

[0119] Figure 1 The graph shows a comparison of the JV curves of the perovskite solar cells prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. It can be seen from the graph that the perovskite solar cell obtained in Example 1 can increase the open-circuit voltage and fill factor, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell.

[0120] Figure 2The image shows the normalized efficiency-time curves for the perovskite solar cells of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. From... Figure 2 It can be seen that when the perovskite solar cells of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were stored in a nitrogen environment at room temperature and the device efficiency was tracked, the PCE (photovoltaic conversion efficiency) of Comparative Example 1 without the perovskite modification layer decreased by 47% after 1032 hours, while the PCE of Example 1 with the perovskite modification layer remained at 75% after 2304 hours (96 days). This indicates that the linear polyethyleneimine of the present invention can effectively passivate lead ion defects through the hydroxyl groups, and the secondary amine groups and unsaturated I... - It forms hydrogen bonds, inhibits ion migration, and at the same time protects the perovskite layer from the influence of water molecules through its hydrophobic long alkyl chain, thereby improving the stability of perovskite solar cells.

[0121] Figure 3 The images show the steady-state photoluminescence spectra of the modified perovskite layer in Example 1 and the unmodified perovskite layer in Comparative Example 1. Figure 3 It can be seen that the fluorescence intensity of Example 1 is stronger than that of Comparative Example 1, which indicates that the linear polyethyleneimine of the present invention can effectively passivate defects in the perovskite layer and suppress nonradiative recombination at the perovskite interface and grain boundaries, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells.

[0122] Figure 4 The images show the transient photoluminescence spectra of the modified perovskite layer in Example 1 and the unmodified perovskite layer in Comparative Example 1. Figure 4 It can be seen that the average decay lifetime of charge carriers in Example 1 is lower than that in Comparative Example 1. This indicates that holes with the perovskite-modified layer can be transported more effectively from the perovskite layer to the hole transport layer. After the perovskite layer is photoexcited, the electron and hole separation efficiency is improved, which promotes the extraction and transport efficiency of charge carriers and suppresses nonradiative recombination at the perovskite interface and grain boundaries. Figure 3 The results are consistent, which in turn helps to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells.

[0123] Figure 5 Figures a and b show the contact angle diagrams of the modified perovskite layer in Example 1 and the unmodified perovskite layer in Comparative Example 1, respectively. Figure 5 It can be seen that the contact angle of the modified perovskite layer is significantly larger than that of the unmodified perovskite layer, increasing from 62.5° to 78.1°. This indicates that in this invention, linear polyethyleneimine protects the perovskite layer from the erosion of water molecules and oxygen through hydrophobic long alkyl chains, thereby improving the hydrophobicity of the perovskite layer and thus improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell.

[0124] Figure 6The images show the XRD patterns of the perovskite films of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 as they were placed in air over time. Figure 6 It can be seen that, under room temperature and air environment conditions, XRD tracking tests were performed on the perovskite layer with modified layer in Example 1 and the unmodified perovskite layer in Comparative Example 1. After 340 hours of storage, a new diffraction peak appeared at 10° in Comparative Example 1 without perovskite modification layer. This peak was inferred to be the peak of the inactive component of perovskite, that is, the perovskite began to change from the highly optically active black phase (α phase) to the weakly optically active yellow phase (δ phase). However, no such diffraction peak was found in Example 1 with perovskite modification layer after 1146 hours of storage. This indicates that the addition of linear polyethyleneimine in this invention can suppress the generation of the weakly optically active phase of perovskite, improve the hydrophobicity of the perovskite layer, and protect the perovskite layer from the erosion of water molecules and oxygen for a long time, thereby improving the stability of perovskite solar cells.
