Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a method for preparing a sub-cell used in a four-terminal stacked perovskite solar cell and the sub-cell. Background Art

[0002] Solar energy is a safe, environmentally friendly renewable energy source. In recent years, solar cells based on organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite materials have seen rapid development. Currently, the highest photoelectric conversion efficiency of a single-junction perovskite solar cell is 26.7%, very close to the optimal performance level of silicon-based solar cells. To further improve the performance of perovskite solar cells and overcome the SQ efficiency limit of single-junction cells, tandem perovskite solar cells can be prepared. Based on their structure, perovskite tandem solar cells can be primarily divided into two-terminal tandem and four-terminal tandem. Four-terminal tandem cells are achieved by mechanically stacking two individual cells. The upper and lower sub-cells can be prepared under optimal conditions, with a total efficiency equal to the sum of the efficiencies of each sub-cell. Four-terminal tandem cells only need to consider optical coupling, not electrical coupling. At the same time, due to their structural characteristics, four-terminal tandem cells are conducive to reducing parasitic absorption. Moreover, the two sub-cells of a four-terminal tandem cell are manufactured independently, connected only optically, and the circuits are independent of each other, making the four-terminal tandem cell easier to implement in terms of process. During operation, even if a sub-cell does not work, the entire tandem cell can be restored to normal operation by replacing it. Currently, four-terminal perovskite-crystalline silicon tandem cells are highly anticipated by industry and academia. The performance of wide-bandgap perovskite bottom cells has become a key factor restricting the performance of perovskite-crystalline silicon tandem cells. To match the bandgap of crystalline silicon, the bandgap of wide-bandgap perovskite bottom cells is generally around 1.67 eV. Currently prepared perovskite solar cells of this type generally have large turn-on voltage losses (>0.4 V). The main reasons are energy level mismatch at the interface, surface / interface defects of the perovskite film, and bulk defects of the perovskite film, which seriously restrict the efficiency and stability of the prepared perovskite-crystalline silicon tandem cells.

[0028] The present invention discloses a method for preparing a sub-cell for a four-terminal stacked perovskite solar cell and the sub-cell. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0029] The present invention is mainly used in the preparation process of the sub-cell of the four-terminal stacked perovskite solar cell, which is mainly aimed at the preparation of the inverted structure perovskite solar cell. A layer of cuprous thiocyanate (CuSCN) hole transport layer is prepared on the nickel oxide (NiOx) hole transport layer, and then a certain amount of self-assembled monolayer material (MeO-2PACz) is added to the perovskite precursor solution. Since the solvent of the cuprous thiocyanate (CuSCN) hole transport layer is diethyl sulfite with strong polarity, most of the CuSCN will be dissolved and ionized after the perovskite solution is coated, and Cu+ tends to be enriched at the bottom interface of the perovskite. The Cu+ doping improves the carrier transport performance of the NiOx hole transport layer. Secondly, the pseudo-halogen SCN- ions can passivate the halogen vacancy defects at the grain boundaries and interfaces of the perovskite film, and also improve the crystallinity of the perovskite film. Due to the "molecular extrusion" effect, the self-assembled monolayer material doped into the perovskite film will spontaneously enrich at the bottom interface of the perovskite film during the preparation of the perovskite film, thereby improving the band matching between the perovskite layer and the NiOx hole transport layer interface, and passivating the defects of the NiOx hole transport layer, thereby ultimately improving the performance of the perovskite solar cell.

[0030] Based on this process, an inverted perovskite solar cell with an efficiency of 23.31% was obtained, with an open-circuit voltage of 1.25 V and a short-circuit current density of 22.2 mA cm -2 , the fill factor is 0.84, while the highest photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell without this process is 20.14%, the open circuit voltage is 1.18 V, and the short circuit current density is 21.6 mA cm -2 , the filling factor is 0.79, and the present invention greatly improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
