Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to an application of a non-fullerene acceptor in a perovskite solar cell. Background Art
[0002] As a type of renewable energy, perovskite solar cells are expected to help achieve my country's carbon neutrality goals. Continuously improving the efficiency of perovskite cells is the technical basis for their commercialization. Among them, the interface modification of perovskite films can effectively reduce interface defects and change the hydrophobicity of the interface, thereby improving battery efficiency and stability. For example, small molecules such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIMBF4), imidazole iodide (ImI), and tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (TBAPF6) are introduced between the perovskite and the charge transfer layer to passivate the interface of the perovskite active layer and adjust the energy level, but the passivation effect is limited and the absorption range cannot be increased.
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, some researchers applied the non-fullerene acceptor Y6 molecule to organic solar energy (OSC). However, there are few reports on the application of non-fullerene acceptor materials in perovskite solar cells.
[0004] Since the non-fullerene small molecule Y6 has good light absorption and electron affinity, some researchers have applied Y6 to perovskite solar cells, replacing all the electron transport materials PCBM in the trans-structured perovskite solar cells with Y6 to achieve interface passivation and improve stability. However, the electron mobility of Y6 is lower than that of PCBM, and the interface charge transfer capacity is poor, which is not conducive to further improving the battery performance; in addition, replacing all the electron transport materials PCBM with Y6 will lead to excessive use of Y6, and Y6 is expensive, resulting in high battery costs, which is not conducive to its commercial application.
[0005] Therefore, studying and developing a non-fullerene acceptor that can passivate interface defects and enhance interfacial charge extraction is of great significance for improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells. Summary of the invention
[0006] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an application of a non-fullerene acceptor in a perovskite solar cell, so as to solve the problems in the prior art of using small molecules to passivate the interface of the perovskite active layer in the perovskite solar cell, such as poor passivation effect and insignificant improvement in interface charge transfer performance, which makes it difficult to significantly improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell. At the same time, the non-fullerene small molecules in the prior art are high in cost, and when all of them replace electron transport materials, the battery preparation cost will be too high.

[0095] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
[0096] Comparing Examples 1 to 7 of the present application and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that compared to directly using the above-mentioned non-fullerene acceptor for the material of the electron transport layer 40, the functional layer 60 is provided between the perovskite active layer 30 and the electron transport layer 40. The amount of the non-fullerene acceptor can be reduced, while also ensuring that the electron transport layer 40 has a high electron mobility, and improving the charge transfer efficiency between the perovskite active layer 30 and the electron transport layer 40, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell and reducing the preparation cost of the perovskite solar cell. In addition, arranging the functional layer 60 between the perovskite active layer 30 and the electron transport layer 40 is also beneficial to reducing the roughness, which is beneficial to the subsequent preparation of the electron transport layer 40 on the surface of the functional layer 60.
