Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of perovskite solar cell technology, and particularly to inverted perovskite solar cells and their fabrication methods. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of perovskite solar cell technology, metal halide perovskites have been widely used due to their advantages such as long charge carrier lifetime, tunable bandgap, and high photoluminescence quantum yield. Metal oxides, due to their appropriate band alignment with perovskites, wide bandgap, high transmittance, high carrier mobility, excellent material stability, and low cost, are widely used in PSCs as carrier transport layers.

[0003] The presence of uncoordinated atoms and dangling bonds on the surface of metal oxides leads to severe interfacial reactions and numerous interfacial defects at the heterojunction interface between metal oxides and perovskites. This results in a significant increase in nonradiative recombination and energy loss, thereby reducing device performance. To address this issue, the art typically employs organic molecules with specific functional groups, such as dye molecules and self-assembled molecules, to passivate the surface of metal oxides. However, these methods have limitations: most of the aforementioned interfacial treatment processes are based on spin coating, making them unsuitable for fabrication processes like blade coating or physical vapor deposition, which are applicable to large-area photovoltaic cells, thus hindering large-scale industrial production; organic materials also exhibit poor stability, particularly thermal stability, making it difficult to meet the 25-year design life requirement of photovoltaic modules.

[0004] In existing technologies, some perovskite solar cells disclose the use of methods such as atomic layer deposition, evaporation, magnetron sputtering, and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition to set interfacial passivation layers (alumina, silicon oxide, and magnesium oxide) between the hole transport layer and the perovskite layer, and between the perovskite layer and the electron transport layer. However, this type of solar cell suffers from the inability to freely control the carrier distribution at the interface, resulting in a high nonradiative recombination rate at the interface, which affects the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the inverted perovskite solar cell. Furthermore, the preparation methods for the passivation layer between the perovskite layer and the electron transport layer generally require high-temperature processing steps, which negatively impacts the stability of the perovskite solar cell device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides an inverted perovskite solar cell and its fabrication method. A metal oxide thin film with a fixed charge is prepared using atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology to modify the upper and lower surfaces of the perovskite layer, thereby controlling the carrier concentration distribution, reducing the interfacial nonradiative recombination rate, and improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the inverted perovskite solar cell. The metal oxide film has stable physicochemical properties, preventing reactions between the perovskite layer and other structural components, as well as water and oxygen in the air, thus improving the stability of the inverted perovskite solar cell. This is specifically achieved through the following techniques.

[0006] A method for fabricating an inverted perovskite solar cell includes the following steps:

[0007] A hole transport layer is prepared on a substrate, and a first metal oxide layer is prepared by a first cyclic deposition process on the hole transport layer.

[0008] A perovskite layer is formed on the surface of the first metal oxide layer, and a second cyclic deposition process is performed on the surface of the perovskite layer to prepare a second metal oxide layer.

[0009] An electron transport layer is disposed on the surface of the second metal oxide layer, and an electrode layer is disposed on the surface of the electron transport layer;

[0010] The method for preparing the first metal oxide layer and the second metal oxide layer is any one of atomic layer deposition, magnetron sputtering, reactive plasma deposition, ion beam assisted deposition, electron beam physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition; the materials of the first metal oxide layer and the second metal oxide layer are one or more of hafnium oxide, zirconium oxide, yttrium oxide, tantalum oxide, aluminum oxide, and magnesium oxide.

[0011] Furthermore, the methods for performing the first and second cycle deposition processes by atomic layer deposition are as follows: at 25-150°C, pulse spraying of metal source for 0.01-1 s, purging with protective gas for 1-100 s, pulse spraying of water for 0.01-1 s, purging with protective gas for 1-100 s, and cycle processing 1-50 times.

[0012] After the first cycle deposition treatment is completed, an annealing treatment at 100-500℃ is performed.

[0013] Furthermore, the first cyclic deposition process is as follows: at 100°C, a metal source is pulse-sprayed for 0.2 seconds, purged with protective gas for 20 seconds, pulse-sprayed with water for 0.02 seconds, purged with protective gas for 25 seconds, and the process is repeated twice; after the first cyclic deposition process, a pre-annealing at 180°C for 10 minutes is performed, followed by 400-row annealing for 45 minutes to obtain the first metal oxide layer.

[0014] Furthermore, the second cyclic deposition process is as follows: at 100°C, pulse spraying of the metal source for 0.2 s, purging with protective gas for 20 s, pulse spraying of water for 0.02 s, purging with protective gas for 25 s, and repeating the process twice.

[0015] Furthermore, the thickness of the first metal oxide layer is 0.1-5 nm.

[0016] Furthermore, the thickness of the second metal oxide layer is 0.1-5 nm.

[0017] Furthermore, the electron transport layer is composed of C 60 It consists of a thin film layer and a BCP layer, wherein the C 60 The thickness of the thin film layer is 20 nm, and the thickness of the BCP layer is 7 nm.

[0018] The present invention also provides an inverted perovskite solar cell prepared by any of the above preparation methods.

[0019] The excessively high nonradiative recombination rates at various interfaces in solar cells have long been a significant reason for their low photoelectric conversion efficiency. According to classical recombination theory in semiconductor physics, the interfacial recombination rate is expressed by the following formula: ,in For the thermal velocity of electrons, , These are the capture sections for electrons and holes, respectively. , These represent the concentrations of electrons and holes at the interface, respectively. This term is called the recombination pre-factor, which occurs when the ratio of hole to electron concentration at the interface equals the ratio of the trapping cross-sections. The obtained value is the largest.

[0020] The inverted perovskite solar cell provided by this invention inserts metal oxide layers prepared by atomic layer deposition between the hole transport layer and the perovskite layer, and between the perovskite layer and the electron transport layer. This invention optimizes the above-mentioned cell structure and simultaneously controls and optimizes the process parameters (adjusting temperature, cycle number) and post-processing methods (annealing, etc.) of the atomic layer deposition method. This allows the metal oxide layer to carry a fixed charge, and by controlling the type and quantity of fixed charges in the metal oxide film, the carrier distribution in the perovskite solar cell can be controlled, thereby reducing non-radiative recombination at the interface and ultimately improving the performance of the inverted perovskite solar cell.

[0021] Specifically, this invention deposits a first metal oxide layer with a fixed negative charge at the interface between the hole transport layer and the perovskite layer, thereby achieving targeted control of the carrier concentration at the interface and reducing the interface recombination rate. Because the hole concentration on this side is greater than the electron concentration (…),… Furthermore, the fixed negative charge of the first metal oxide layer introduced in this invention can attract holes and repel electrons, thus increasing the hole / electron concentration ratio and making it more prone to shifting the trapping cross-section, reducing the recombination pre-recombination factor, and ultimately achieving the effect of reducing the nonradiative recombination rate at the interface. This invention also deposits a second metal oxide layer with a fixed positive charge at the interface between the electron transport layer and the perovskite layer. Since the hole concentration on this side is less than the electron concentration (…),… Furthermore, the fixed negative charge of the second metal oxide layer introduced in this invention can attract electrons and repel holes, thus reducing the hole / electron concentration ratio and making it more likely to deviate from the trapping cross section. This also reduces the recombination pre-factor, thereby reducing the nonradiative recombination rate at the interface.

[0022] A standard perovskite solar cell, from bottom to top, mainly consists of a conductive substrate (e.g., FTO conductive glass), an electron transport layer (e.g., TiO2, ZnO), a perovskite layer, a hole transport layer (e.g., Spiro-OMeTAD, PTAA), and a metal counter electrode. In contrast, an inverted perovskite solar cell swaps the positions of the electron and hole transport layers and uses significantly different materials. The electron transport layer of an inverted perovskite solar cell can be made of PCBM, C... 60 For materials such as PEDOT:PSS and NiO, the hole transport layer can be selected. x Materials, etc.

[0023] In this invention, when depositing the first and second metal oxide layers, the metal oxides are directly deposited on the corresponding hole transport layer and perovskite layer. Compared with the method of first depositing metal particles and then oxidizing, this method simplifies the process. At the same time, the thin film prepared by atomic layer deposition has better coverage and shape retention, and the film thickness can be precisely controlled, making it more suitable for large-area commercial production.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: by optimizing and improving the atomic layer deposition technology process, the present invention controls the carrier concentration distribution, reduces the non-radiative recombination rate at the interface, and improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency of inverted perovskite solar cells.

[0032] In existing perovskite solar cells, the high nonradiative recombination rates at the interfaces of the structure significantly negatively impact photoelectric conversion efficiency. To address this issue, this invention inserts metal oxide layers with fixed charges between the perovskite layer and the hole transport layer, and between the perovskite layer and the electron transport layer. Specifically, a first metal oxide layer with a fixed negative charge is inserted between the perovskite film and the hole transport layer, attracting holes and repelling electrons at this interface; a second metal oxide layer with a fixed positive charge is inserted between the perovskite film and the electron transport layer, attracting electrons and repelling holes at this interface. Combined, this method effectively reduces the nonradiative recombination rates at the two interfaces, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the device.

[0099] The inverted perovskite solar cell prepared in Comparative Example 4 has an open-circuit voltage (V). oc The voltage is 1.145V, and the short-circuit current (J) is... sc The value is 24.97 mA·cm. -2 The fill factor (FF) is 78.24%, and the final photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) is 22.37%.

[0100] As can be seen from the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the devices in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1, 2, and 3, the device has the highest photoelectric conversion efficiency after adding the first metal oxide layer and the second metal oxide layer at the same time. After adding the first metal oxide layer or the second metal oxide layer respectively, the photoelectric conversion efficiency is improved compared with the device without the metal oxide layer, but it is not as good as the device with both layers added at the same time.

[0101] As can be seen from the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the devices in Examples 1, 2 and Comparative Example 4, the number of cycles and deposition temperature in the preparation process of the first metal oxide layer and the second metal oxide layer are also key factors in achieving optimal efficiency.

[0102] Experimental Example 2: Testing of Nonradiative Recombination Rate and Fixed Charge in Thin Films

[0103] like Figure 3 As shown, we fabricated semiconductor devices based on hole transport layer (HTL) / perovskite film (PVK) / electron transport layer (ETL) and hole transport layer (HTL) / first metal oxide layer (MO1) / perovskite film (PVK) / second metal oxide layer (MO2) / electron transport layer (ETL) structures and performed photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy tests. We found that the luminescence intensity significantly increased after inserting the first and second metal oxide layers. This indicates that the nonradiative recombination between the perovskite and the transport layer is significantly suppressed.

[0104] like Figure 4 As shown, we prepared samples of the hole transport layer (HTL) and the hole transport layer / first metal oxide layer (MO1) and performed Kelvin probe atomic force microscopy (KPFM) tests on them. We found that the potential increased by approximately 0.2 V after the addition of MO1. Since KPFM is very sensitive to changes in surface electrostatic potential, which is easily affected by fixed charges, we can infer that a fixed negative charge was introduced into the surface due to the insertion of MO1.

[0105] like Figure 5 As shown, we prepared perovskite (PVK) and perovskite (PVK) / second metal oxide layer (MO2) samples and performed Kelvin probe atomic force microscopy (KPFM) imaging on them. We found that the potential decreased by approximately 0.6 V after the addition of MO2. Since KPFM is very sensitive to changes in surface electrostatic potential, which is easily affected by fixed charges, we can infer that the surface was introduced with fixed positive charges due to the insertion of MO2.

Within the scope of the claims and technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications and changes can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
