Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and particularly relates to a buried bottom interface defect passivation inverted perovskite solar cell and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation technology has made significant progress in cost and photoelectric conversion efficiency after years of development. As the third generation of solar cells, perovskite solar cells have attracted widespread attention due to their low cost, low-temperature preparation, and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Compared with traditional silicon-based solar cells, perovskite solar cells not only have low material cost, but also have a simple manufacturing process, which can be prepared at low temperature, thereby reducing production costs. These advantages make perovskite solar cells have great potential in the field of renewable energy. In addition, the excellent optical and electrical properties of perovskite materials give them a significant advantage in photoelectric conversion efficiency. Studies have shown that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells has reached a level comparable to or even higher than that of traditional silicon-based cells under laboratory conditions, with single-junction perovskite solar cell efficiency exceeding 26%. With the continuous progress and optimization of related technologies, the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells will be further improved, which will pave the way for their large-scale commercialization. Under the drive of the "double carbon" goal, the development of high-efficiency, low-cost photovoltaic technology represented by perovskite solar cells will not only help reduce dependence on fossil fuels, but also significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions and achieve sustainable development goals. Therefore, perovskite solar cells have important strategic significance and application prospects in the future development of clean energy.

[0003] The quality of perovskite solar cells depends largely on the quality of the perovskite light-absorbing layer. As a method of defect passivation, interface engineering is often used to passivate surface defect states of the perovskite light-absorbing layer, reduce non-radiative recombination of carriers, passivate defects, and improve interface contact. The buried bottom interface is more difficult to adjust than the exposed top surface of the prepared perovskite layer, but it is of great importance. Perovskite grains grow from bottom to top. A simple and feasible processing method is developed to modify the buried bottom interface of the perovskite layer to obtain a perovskite light-absorbing layer with more perfect grain growth, fewer defect states, and more uniform film formation, and better quality perovskite layer. Based on this, it is crucial to develop a buried bottom interface modification method to optimize perovskite solar cells. SUMMARY

The organic compound containing a hydrophobic long carbon chain, a positively charged amino group and a negatively charged halogen functional group is used for interface modification in the present application, which does not change the original device structure of the perovskite solar cell.

[0047] The principle of the present application is:

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages and technical effects:

[0049] Compared with the existing interface modification perovskite thin film method, the present application uses an organic compound containing a hydrophobic long carbon chain, a positively charged amino group and a negatively charged halogen functional group to modify the interface between the upper surface of the hole transport layer and the lower surface of the perovskite light-absorbing layer.

[0050] The hydrophobic long carbon chain in the organic compound of the present application can enhance stability; the positively charged amino group can be fixed on the grain boundary and surface of the perovskite thin film by occupying cubic octahedral point to passivate vacancies, compensate for losses on the surface of the thin film, passivate negative defects in the perovskite through ionic bonds or hydrogen bonds; the negatively charged halogen functional group can slow down crystallinity during film formation and increase the size of the perovskite. In addition, the intervention of the negatively charged halogen functional group can modify the energy level to make the battery obtain a higher open-circuit voltage. Studies have shown that the perovskite thin film surface does not necessarily reach a thermodynamic stable state immediately after annealing. Due to the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficient between the perovskite and the substrate, residual strain at the lower interface is generated, and when the perovskite thin film after annealing is cooled to room temperature, the lattice distortion occurs to increase the grain boundary defects, which can accelerate the degradation of the perovskite thin film, increase the non-radiative recombination, and reduce the photoelectric performance of the battery. The lattice mismatch between the perovskite and the substrate during the annealing process can cause residual stress, and the long carbon chain can improve the contact, thereby reducing the residual stress of the perovskite, which is helpful for the preparation of higher quality perovskite solar cells. Under this background, the zwitterionic structure CTAB / CTAC with positive and negative ion separation has the advantage of self-adapting to select defects with opposite charges for passivation, which is not limited by the complex composition or distribution of surface defects. In addition, the introduction of CTAB / CTAC can improve the roughness and conductivity of the hole transport layer. In summary, CTAB / CTAC plays a role in improving the perovskite light-absorbing layer and enhancing the conductivity of the hole transport layer.

[0051] The trans perovskite solar cell prepared by using the material and the preparation method of the present application improves the photoelectric performance of the perovskite thin film and the overall energy conversion efficiency, humidity resistance and long-term stability of the device.

[0052] The preparation method of the present application is simple, efficient and reliable, and has good stability, which meets the actual production needs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
