Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and particularly relates to a chain-like silicon hybrid polyurethane, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof in perovskite solar cells. Background Art
[0002] As an outstanding representative of the third-generation photovoltaic technology, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have become the most promising photovoltaic solution for commercial applications due to their excellent physical and chemical properties, simple preparation process, and outstanding performance. The currently achieved certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 27% for this device has approached the level of monocrystalline silicon solar cells. In the field of device optimization, the innovative application of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) as hole transport layers (HTLs) has recently made breakthrough progress. Such molecular structures usually consist of three key parts: an anchoring group that forms a chemical bond with the ITO substrate, a head functional group with specific functions, and a connecting backbone that promotes the self-assembly process. Compared with traditional HTL materials such as NiO X and PEDOT:PSS, SAMs exhibit unique advantages: by precisely adjusting the energy band structure, effectively suppressing unnecessary light absorption, and significantly improving the carrier transport efficiency, a new path for improving device performance has been opened up.
[0003] Although SAM materials perform excellently in hole transport performance, the chemical stability of the phosphonic acid groups in their molecular structures still faces challenges in a highly polar solvent environment. Especially when depositing the peroxide layer, the ITO surface bonding sites formed by physical adsorption of hydroxyl groups are easily eroded by the DMF / DMSO mixed solvent, leading to defects in the distribution of the self-assembled molecular layer. At the same time, the polarity difference at both ends of the molecule easily promotes the formation of micelle structures in the precursor solution, and this self-aggregation phenomenon severely restricts the orderly assembly of molecules on the ITO surface. The resulting local SAM coverage defects will cause the perovskite layer to be in direct contact with the conductive substrate, not only inducing an increase in interface recombination centers but also causing batch-to-batch fluctuations in device performance. Therefore, the combined effect of these factors has become the key bottleneck restricting the performance optimization of perovskite solar cells, resulting in their actual efficiency still being significantly lower than the theoretical limit of single-junction devices. This energy efficiency gap not only weakens the performance advantages of the device but also hinders the industrialization process of this technology.
[0004] Therefore, researchers have adopted various strategies to improve the stability and uniformity of the SAM hole transport layer, mainly including additive engineering and co-solvent engineering, etc. For example, small carbazole molecules are used to fill the voids in SAM to enhance its uniformity and modify the buried interface of PSCs, thereby improving the monolayer coverage rate of the HTL. Or polar solvents such as DMF or DMSO are added to the precursor solvent ethanol to relieve the micelles of SAM. Among many additives, small molecule additives are mostly used. Their molecular configurations are relatively simple and similar to the self-assembled molecular structure. However, the application of chain-like molecules in the SAM hole transport layer has been rarely mentioned. Functional chain-like silicone polyurethane additives have attracted more and more attention. They can not only passivate defects, but also effectively change the intermolecular forces and spatial arrangements. However, different functional groups on the linear chain-like molecules have different effects on the intermolecular forces, and their functional ranges are limited. Therefore, there are still severe challenges in effectively regulating the distribution and anchoring of self-assembled molecules on ITO in terms of spatial distribution and functional group selection to obtain polyurethane molecules with high quality, good uniformity, and high conductivity. Summary of the Invention
[0005] An object of the present invention is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and provide a chain-like silicon hybrid polyurethane and its preparation method and application in perovskite solar cells. Specifically, it provides a chain-like silicon hybrid polyurethane (Si-HPUs) molecular dopant material and its application in perovskite solar cells. More specifically, it provides a novel guanidine-modified polyurethane siloxane elastomer Si-HPUs molecular material and its application in perovskite solar cells. By making full use of the thermoplastic chain linear structure of polyurethane itself, the cohesive chain segments in the chain and regional structures tend to participate in van der Waals force interactions to enhance the interfacial adsorption between SAM and ITO, and improve the uniformity and wettability of SAM. The ideal dopant Si-HPUs for adsorption stability regulates the self-assembly process of SAM through its unique molecular configuration to form a high-quality hole transport layer and optimize the defects at the buried interface. Si-HPUs molecules achieve precise intervention in the crystal nucleation kinetics and growth orientation through multi-scale interfacial regulation with perovskite materials. The functional functional groups in its molecular structure form a directional induction effect during the perovskite crystallization process, significantly improving the uniformity of the thin film microstructure and phase stability. At the interface engineering level, this material forms strong chemical bonding with the uncoordinated ions of perovskite through the surface-enriched active sites, synchronously realizing crystal defect passivation and ion migration inhibition. It not only promotes the carrier transport efficiency across grain boundaries, but also effectively reduces the density of non-radiative recombination centers. This synergistic optimization strategy systematically improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency, hysteresis characteristics, and long-term stability of the device.

The present invention synthesizes a guanidine-modified polyurethane silicone elastomer Si-HPUs molecular material. The side chain of the chain-like Si-HPUs molecule has a carbon-oxygen double bond and a guanidine functional group at the end. Characterizing this material, it is a crosslinked network formed by a benzene ring rigid unit and a silicone crosslinking agent. Based on the polyurethane structure, it has excellent thermal stability and flexibility, interacts with SAM to enhance the elastic modulus of the film, increases the thermal decomposition temperature, and promotes the anchoring adsorption on the ITO substrate.
[0030] 2. The present invention applies the synthesized silicon hybrid polyurethane (Si-HPUs) as a functional additive for the SAM hole transport layer in perovskite thin film solar cells. By improving the molecular self-assembly behavior and enhancing the binding energy between MeO-2PACz and the ITO substrate, the uniformity and conductivity characteristics of the film are effectively enhanced. This structural optimization significantly promotes the efficient extraction of hole carriers, while suppressing the interfacial non-radiative recombination process and reducing the defect state density. Moreover, the perovskite thin film prepared by the SAM system modified with Si-HPUs exhibits excellent crystallization quality and phase stability, with a more uniform grain size distribution, successfully passivating the interfacial defects and suppressing the ion migration phenomenon, thereby significantly improving the long-term working stability of the perovskite solar cell. Experimental results show that the champion device based on this modified SAM system in Example 1 of the present invention achieves an energy conversion efficiency of 25.13%. The unencapsulated device still maintains 91% of the initial efficiency value after being stored at room temperature for 5000 hours, demonstrating excellent environmental tolerance.

The specific preparation method is as follows: Prepare a 1mg mL -1 MeO-2PACz ethanol solution, heat and dissolve it in a shaker at 30 °C for 12 h; spin-coat the MeO-2PACz ethanol solution on the conductive substrate by spin coating method, the spin coating rate is 4000 rpm, the spin coating time is 50 s, and then heat treat it at 120 °C for 15 min to obtain the SAM layer.
[0054] Other steps are the same as in Example 1.
[0055] Perform performance tests on the samples prepared in Example 2 and Comparative Example 1. The test results are as Figures 2 - 8 shown, where Figures 2 - 8 "Control" refers to the sample prepared in Example 2, and "Standard sample" refers to the sample prepared in Comparative Example 1.
[0056] As Figure 2 shown, compared with the MeO-2PACz SAM prepared in Comparative Example 1, the P-O vibration peak in the MeO-2PACz / Si-HPUs-SAM sample prepared in Example 2 shifted, indicating that Si-HPUs interacted with MeO-2PACz. From this, it can be seen that the chain-like silicon hybrid polyurethane prepared in the present invention can interact with MeO-2PACz, effectively improving the uniformity and anchoring of the SAM hole transport layer.
[0057] As Figure 3 shown, compared with the sample prepared in Comparative Example 1, the SAM film based on Si-HPUs-SAM prepared in Example 2 has a more uniform potential distribution and a more negative CPD value.
[0058] As Figure 4 shown, compared with the sample prepared in Comparative Example 1, the perovskite film based on Si-HPUs-SAM prepared in Example 2 has stronger crystallinity, preferred orientation, and a small full width at half maximum.
[0059] As Figure 5As shown, compared with the sample prepared in Comparative Example 1, the perovskite film based on Si-HPUs-SAM prepared in Example 2 has a shorter carrier lifetime.
[0060] As Figure 6 shown, compared with the sample prepared in Comparative Example 1, the perovskite film based on Si-HPUs-SAM prepared in Example 2 has a larger grain size and no formation of lead iodide phase.
[0061] The device performance is as follows: under the irradiation of standard simulated sunlight (AM 1.5 G, 100 mW / cm 2 ), for the sample prepared in Example 2, the open-circuit voltage = 1.177 V; the short-circuit current = 26.27 mA / cm 2 ; the fill factor = 81.27%; the photoelectric conversion efficiency = 25.13%. For the sample prepared in Comparative Example 1, the open-circuit voltage = 1.161 V; the short-circuit current = 24.22 mA / cm 2 ; the fill factor = 83.43%; the photoelectric conversion efficiency = 23.46%. The current-voltage curve is as shown in the appendix Figure 7 and the device performance stability is as shown in Figure 8 . It can be seen that, compared with Comparative Example 1, the device performance prepared in Example 2 is significantly improved, indicating that using the chain-like Si-HPUs molecular dopant to modify the SAM layer can optimize the film quality and morphology of the perovskite active layer, regulate the nucleation and crystallization of perovskite, and has good optical properties; it can effectively passivate the buried interface defects, promote the carrier transport, and inhibit the ion migration.

Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, making equivalent substitutions or changes should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
