Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of perovskite solar cells, and in particular to a heterojunction for improving charge transfer, a preparation method thereof, and a perovskite solar cell. Background Art

[0002] Among many solar cells, perovskite solar cells (PVSC) have important application prospects in the optoelectronic field due to their good light absorption, excellent charge transfer rate, and adjustable band gap. Among them, single-junction perovskite solar cells have achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 26.7%, and are the most promising alternatives to relatively expensive polysilicon, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), and cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells on the market. However, due to the interface limitations of the perovskite photoactive layer (referred to as the perovskite light absorption layer) and the charge transport layer of the heterogeneous structure of perovskite solar cells, the improvement of charge transfer efficiency is severely restricted, and more directly leads to low photoelectric conversion efficiency, which is a key problem that must be solved in practical applications.

[0003] In perovskite solar cells, the perovskite absorber and charge transport layer are the main generating and collecting parts of photogenerated charge carriers. Its charge dynamics (including charge extraction, charge transfer and charge recombination) occur at the heterojunction interface formed by the perovskite absorber and the charge transport layer. It is worth noting that the charge transfer efficiency from perovskite to the interface depends on maximizing the extraction rate while minimizing the recombination caused by interface defects. However, the complex interfacial chemical environment between the perovskite absorber and the charge transport layer (such as high defect density and low perovskite crystallinity) causes the charge transfer loss on the bottom surface of the perovskite to be more serious than that on the top surface of the perovskite. In addition, the defects at the interface lead to charge accumulation and recombination losses, which further lead to the degradation of device performance and have an adverse effect on the stability of the device. Current strategies mainly focus on interface modification (such as the use of passivators) to reduce the recombination losses caused by defects at the interface and control the energy level arrangement to improve the charge transfer efficiency. However, these strategies are usually accompanied by numerous side effects, such as passivator degradation, interfacial reactions, induced ion migration, etc., which result in ineffective actual effects and seriously affect the photovoltaic performance and long-term operating stability of perovskite solar cell devices.

[0004] Therefore, how to avoid the disadvantages of interface modification and effectively break through the interface limitations between heterojunctions to construct efficient charge transfer channels is of great significance to improving the efficiency of perovskite solar cells. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for regulating dielectric constant to prepare a perovskite solar cell with high charge transfer performance, aiming at the high defect density barrier and low charge transfer efficiency at the interface of the heterojunction (perovskite light absorbing layer and tin dioxide (SnO2) electron transport layer). Before pre-depositing the perovskite light absorbing layer, a dipole molecule 4-methylsulfonylphenylamidine (SPA) containing methylsulfonyl and amidine functional groups with different polarities is used to uniformly deposit on the surface of the prepared SnO2 electron transport layer to form an interface dipole layer, and then the perovskite light absorbing layer is deposited on the dipole layer. Under the bidirectional synchronous regulation of the dielectric constants of the perovskite light absorbing layer and the SnO2 layer by the SPA dipole layer, the dielectric constant is increased and the dielectric properties compatible with the perovskite light absorbing layer and the SnO2 layer are balanced, thereby achieving the improvement of the charge transfer performance of the heterojunction interface and realizing a perovskite solar cell with high photoelectric conversion efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above object, on the one hand, the present invention provides a heterojunction for improving charge transport, which comprises: a SnO2 electron transport layer and a perovskite light absorption layer, wherein a dipole layer is composited between the SnO2 electron transport layer and the perovskite light absorption layer; the material of the dipole layer is 4-methylsulfonylphenylamidine (SPA), which has a molecular structure shown in formula (1):

[0007] Formula (1).

[0009] According to another aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a method for preparing a heterojunction for improving charge transport, comprising the following steps:

[0010] S1, depositing a SnO2 electron transport layer on a transparent conductive substrate;

[0011] S2, depositing a dipole layer made of 4-methylsulfonylphenylamidine on the surface of the obtained SnO2 electron transport layer;

[0012] S3. Depositing a perovskite light absorbing layer on the surface of the obtained dipole layer.

[0013] As a further preferred technical solution of the present invention, the transparent conductive substrate is FTO glass or ITO glass; and / or the transparent conductive substrate has a thickness of 10 nm to 500 nm.

[0014] As a further preferred technical solution of the present invention, step S1 specifically includes: using 15% (water dispersion system) SnO2 solution and water to mix in a ratio of 1:3, and then using spin coating deposition. The specific deposition process is: rotation speed 2000~3000rpm, time is 10~30s, deposition annealing temperature is 130~150℃, time is ≤30min.

[0015] As a further preferred technical solution of the present invention, step S2 specifically comprises: dissolving 4-methylsulfonylbenzeneamidine in an alcohol solvent at a concentration of 0.10-2.00 mg / mL, and then depositing by spin coating, wherein the specific deposition process is: a rotation speed of 1000-3000 rpm, a time of 10-30 s, a deposition annealing temperature of 100 °C (specifically adjusted according to the boiling point properties of the selected alcohol solvent), and a time of ≤30 min. It is further preferred that the purity of 4-methylsulfonylbenzeneamidine is above 98%.

[0016] As a further preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step S2, the preparation method of the perovskite light absorbing layer includes but is not limited to a one-step method, a two-step method, etc. It is further preferred that the perovskite light absorbing layer is a FA, FAMA or FAMACs system. The preparation process of the perovskite light absorbing layer includes but is not limited to spin coating, blade coating, spray coating, slit coating or any combination of processes.

[0017] According to another aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a perovskite solar cell, which adopts the above-mentioned heterojunction.

[0018] As a further preferred technical solution of the present invention, the perovskite solar cell further includes a transparent conductive substrate, a hole transport layer and a metal electrode, and the heterojunction is arranged between the transparent conductive substrate and the hole transport layer.

[0019] As a further preferred technical solution of the present invention, the structure of the perovskite solar cell is a nip formal structure or a pin trans structure.

[0020] The principle of the present invention is that in the preparation process of a heterojunction (perovskite light absorbing layer and SnO2 electron transport layer) for improving charge transport, a dipole layer is introduced into the heterojunction interface by using 4-methylsulfonylphenylamidine (SPA) dipole molecules. Due to the influence of the polarity of the SPA dipole layer itself and the difference in the orientation adsorption of the groups, the amidine groups are oriented to be adsorbed on the perovskite light absorbing layer and the methylsulfonyl groups are oriented to be adsorbed on the SnO2 layer, thereby simultaneously changing the polarizability of the perovskite light absorbing layer and the SnO2 layer, resulting in an increase effect of the dielectric constant and compatibility of dielectric properties. The prepared heterojunction dielectric properties of the perovskite light absorbing layer and the SnO2 electron transport layer with high dielectric constant and compatibility directly enhance the directional charge transfer efficiency from the perovskite light absorbing layer to the SnO2 electron transport layer, avoid the side effects of interface modification, and effectively improve the long-term operation stability of the perovskite solar cell device.

[0083] Comparative Example 1

[0084] The preparation method in Comparative Example 1 is generally the same as that in Example 4. The difference is that there is no need to deposit a 4-methylsulfonylphenylamidine (SPA) dipole layer, that is, there is no need to perform steps (2) and (3) in Example 4 to deposit a perovskite light absorbing layer on the surface of the ITO conductive glass substrate.

[0085] The dielectric constant of the perovskite film obtained in step (6) of Example 4 and Comparative Example 1 was tested and analyzed. The results are shown in Figure 3 In (a), it can be seen that the dielectric constant of the obtained perovskite film is greatly improved. Figure 3 (a) in the figure shows that the dielectric constant of the perovskite light absorbing layer regulated by the 4-methylsulfonylphenylamidine (SPA) dipole layer increases significantly, proving that the amidine group orientation of the dipole molecule SPA in the perovskite light absorbing layer changes the polarizability and thus significantly increases the dielectric constant value.

[0086] Comparative Example 2

[0087] The preparation method in Comparative Example 2 is generally the same as that in Example 5. The difference is that there is no need to deposit a 4-methylsulfonylphenylamidine (SPA) dipole layer, that is, there is no need to perform steps (2) and (5) in Example 5 to deposit a SnO2 layer on the surface of the ITO conductive glass substrate.

[0088] The dielectric constant of the SnO2 film obtained in step (6) of Example 5 and Comparative Example 2 was tested and analyzed. The results are shown in Figure 3 In (b), it can be seen that the dielectric constant of the obtained SnO2 film is greatly improved. Figure 3 (b) in the figure shows that the dielectric constant of the SnO2 layer regulated by the 4-methylsulfonylphenylamidine (SPA) dipole layer is significantly increased, proving that the methylsulfonyl group orientation of the dipole molecule SPA in the SnO2 layer changes the polarizability and thus significantly increases the dielectric constant value.

[0089] based on Figure 3 It can be seen that the significant synchronous increase in the dielectric constant indicates that 4-methylsulfonylphenylamidine (SPA) can effectively and bidirectionally affect the dielectric properties of the perovskite light-absorbing layer and the SnO2 layer, thereby improving the compatibility of the dielectric properties of the heterojunction.

The results are shown in Figure 4 .Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that the PL spectrum intensity tested by the technical solution provided by the present invention is greatly reduced, which proves the reduction of interface recombination of efficient interface charge transfer performance between the perovskite light absorbing layer and the SnO2 layer.

[0093] Comparative Example 4

[0094] The preparation method in Comparative Example 4 is generally the same as that in Example 6. The difference is that it is not necessary to deposit a 4-methylsulfonylphenylamidine (SPA) dipole layer, that is, step (3) in Example 6 is omitted to serve as a blank control group.

[0101] Comparative Example 7

[0102] The preparation method in Comparative Example 6 is generally the same as that in Example 6. The difference is that step (3) in Example 6 is replaced by depositing p-methylsulfonyltoluene (MPS) as a dipole layer. MPS has a molecular structure shown in formula (4):

[0103] Formula (4).

[0104] In Comparative Examples 5, 6 and 7, the preparation method of each dipole layer is the same as step (3) in Example 6.

[0105] The perovskite solar cells obtained in Example 6 and Comparative Examples 4-7 were tested for photoelectric conversion efficiency under a solar simulator with a standard one-sun light (AM 1.5G, 100 mW / cm 2 ), test mask area 1.01 cm 2 , scanning speed 20 mV / s, the IV results of the forward and reverse scan tests are: the device conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell prepared by regulating the dielectric constants of the perovskite light absorption layer and the SnO2 electron transport layer by the 4-methylsulfonylphenylamidine (SPA) dipole layer can reach 26.26% (see Figure 5 ), which is obviously beneficial to Comparative Examples 4, 5 and 6.

[0107]

[0108] As can be seen from Table 1, when the 4-methylsulfonylbenzeneamidine (SPA) dipole layer is used to synchronously regulate the dielectric constant of the perovskite light-absorbing layer and the SnO2 layer, the photoelectric conversion efficiency and other properties of the prepared formal perovskite solar cell are significantly improved. On the contrary, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the formal perovskite solar cell prepared by 4-fluoroaniline (FPN), which also has the properties of a dipole layer, is much lower than that using the 4-methylsulfonylbenzeneamidine (SPA) dipole layer, showing the uniqueness of the 4-methylsulfonylbenzeneamidine (SPA) dipole layer preparation method, rather than a random choice. In addition, the efficiency of the formal perovskite solar cell prepared by the para-amidinotoluene (MPA) dipole layer and the methylsulfonyltoluene (MPS) dipole layer with an amidine group or a methylsulfone group is lower than that of the 4-methylsulfonylbenzeneamidine (SPA) dipole layer with both an amidine group and a methylsulfone group, showing the specific properties of the 4-methylsulfonylbenzeneamidine (SPA) dipole layer.

[0109] Figure 5 The current-voltage characteristic curves of the perovskite solar cells of Example 6 of the present disclosure and Comparative Examples 4, 5, 6, and 7. The open circuit voltage of the device prepared by the 4-methylsulfonylphenylamidine (SPA) dipole layer can be significantly increased to 1.18V, which is the result of the bidirectional dielectric constant regulation of the dipole layer, and the improvement of the dielectric adaptation environment promotes the charge transfer performance, showing that the dielectric regulation of the 4-methylsulfonylphenylamidine (SPA) dipole layer can greatly improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the device.
