Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a perovskite solar cell based on co - self - assembled molecule - induced in - situ polymerization at the interface and a manufacturing method thereof, belonging to the technical field of perovskite solar cells. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, in the field of renewable energy, inverted perovskite solar cells (IPSCs) have received extensive attention due to their excellent photoelectric conversion efficiency and flexible fabrication process. The introduction of self - assembled molecules (SAMs) has greatly improved the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cells. However, the existing self - assembled molecular layers are mainly adsorbed on the surface of the transparent conductive layer / metal oxide by chemical methods, but there are still some problems in the actual anchoring process. First, during the self - assembly process of SAM molecules on the oxide surface, due to insufficient intermolecular forces and poor anchoring ability, the coverage is often uneven. This unevenness leads to local charge accumulation, which in turn affects the photoelectric conversion efficiency. In addition, during the formation of the self - assembled monolayer film, the steric hindrance effect of the molecular chain may cause hindrance to the molecular arrangement, and its distribution characteristics are easily regulated by environmental parameters (such as temperature, substrate topography, etc.), thereby forming a heterogeneous micro - region structure, resulting in deteriorated interface contact and blocked carrier transport, ultimately significantly weakening the performance and stability of the device. These defects limit the application of SAMs in high - efficiency perovskite solar cells.

[0003] In recent years, in order to enhance the anchoring ability of self - assembled molecules and improve their coverage, researchers have made various attempts. The patent with the publication number CN119192239A discloses a novel SAM hole - transporting material containing a phenanthro - triazole moiety, where phenanthro - triazole serves as the parent nucleus and the phosphonic acid moiety serves as the anchoring group. Phenanthro - triazole has the characteristic of a larger conjugated plane, which is beneficial to intermolecular stacking and charge transport. At the same time, the introduction of triazole increases the dipole moment of the molecule, which is beneficial to hole extraction. This SAM hole - transporting material is used in inverted perovskite solar cells and has good solubility and wettability while having a strong anchoring ability. The patent with the publication number CN118555884A discloses a method for improving the surface properties of the substrate through plasma treatment or chemical modification to enhance the coverage effect of SAM. The structure of the perovskite solar cell is a conductive substrate, nickel oxide NiO x / SAM hole - transporting layer, perovskite light - absorbing layer, electron - transporting layer, blocking layer and top electrode. Among them, the surface of NiO x is subjected to O 2 plasma treatment for different times, and then a SAM solution is spin - coated to form a film. Tests show that after O 2 plasma treatment of NiO xAfter the surface, the surface roughness of the hole transport layer is reduced, and the film conductivity is enhanced. The present invention realizes the uniform and robust anchoring of SAM molecules through the improvement of the NiO x film surface, thereby promoting charge extraction and suppressing interfacial non-radiative recombination. A patent with publication number CN118922003A discloses a strategy for hybrid SAMs, in which the surface of nickel oxide is modified by preparing hybrid SAMs by regulating the contents of 6-(iodo-λ5-azanyl)hexanoic acid compounds (I) and 4-(9-carbazolyl)-butyl phosphonate compounds (II) with different chain lengths. Among them, the mass percentage content of compound (I) in the hole modification layer is a, 30% ≤ a ≤ 70%, and the mass percentage content of compound (II) in the hole modification layer is b, 30% ≤ b ≤ 70%, which is more conducive to obtaining a hole modification layer with excellent interfacial modification ability and passivation ability. However, although the above several methods can enhance the anchoring ability of SAMs to the oxide surface to a certain extent and solve the problems of low coverage and uneven distribution existing in the application of existing self-assembled monolayers in inverted perovskite solar cells, the key technical problems of the interfacial contact between the SAM layer and the lower surface of the perovskite and the peeling off of the perovskite film caused by the interfacial contact problem under the action of long-term temperature and humidity, resulting in the decline of the long-term stability of the perovskite battery, have not been properly solved. Therefore, developing SAM-based inverted perovskite solar cells that can effectively improve the photoelectric efficiency and have excellent long-term stability is one of the technical problems that need to be solved in this field at present.

Detailed implementation manners

[0010] In view of the defects of the prior art, through long-term research and a large number of practices by the inventors of this case, the technical solution of the present invention can be proposed.

Through this dual mechanism based on Co-SAMs and in-situ polymerization, it can not only effectively passivate the defects at the buried bottom interface of the perovskite, inhibit non-radiative polymerization, enhance interfacial contact, but also significantly improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and long-term stability of the perovskite solar cell.

[0011] To facilitate the understanding of this application, the following will describe this application in more detail. However, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments or examples described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments or examples is to make the understanding of the disclosure content of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0012] Specifically, as an aspect of the technical solution of the present invention, a perovskite solar cell based on co-self-assembled molecule-induced in-situ polymerization includes: a nickel oxide layer, a co-self-assembled layer, an in-situ polymer layer, a perovskite layer, a passivation layer, an electron transport layer, and a top electrode sequentially arranged on the surface of the substrate; Wherein, the in-situ polymer layer is arranged between the co-self-assembled layer and the perovskite layer, the co-self-assembled layer includes co-self-assembled molecules, and the co-self-assembled molecules are formed by mixing a first self-assembled molecule and a second self-assembled molecule with a mercapto group at the end; the perovskite layer precursor solution for preparing the perovskite layer includes an ionic liquid, and the cation part of the ionic liquid contains a carbon-carbon double bond end group; the in-situ polymer layer is formed by the in-situ polymerization of the second self-assembled molecule and the ionic liquid; The first self-assembled molecule has a structure shown in formula (I), and the second self-assembled molecule has a structure shown in formula (II) and / or formula (III): where 2 ≤ n ≤ 5, 3 ≤ x ≤ 12, and 2 ≤ y ≤ 12.

[0013] In the present invention, the second self-assembled molecule has a thiol end group, providing a binding site for in-situ free radical polymerization. The cationic part of the ionic liquid also has a terminal group with a carbon-carbon double bond. Therefore, a polymer layer is in-situ generated between the co-self-assembled layer and the perovskite layer by annealing heating, and this polymer layer can well improve the interfacial contact between the co-self-assembled layer and the perovskite layer.

[0014] In some more specific embodiments, a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of the perovskite solar cell based on co-self-assembled molecule-induced interfacial in-situ polymerization in the present invention is as Figure 1 shown, including: a transparent conductive substrate 1, a nickel oxide layer 2, a co-self-assembled layer 3, an in-situ polymer layer 4, a perovskite layer 5, a passivation layer 6, an electron transport layer 7, and a top electrode 8.

[0015] The SAM-2 structural self-assembled molecule introduced in the present invention, the thiol end group can provide an initiation site for in-situ free radical polymerization, which is one of the necessary points for initiating free radical polymerization; introducing at least one ionic liquid of formula (IV) or formula (V) in the perovskite precursor solution, the cationic part of which contains a terminal group with a carbon-carbon double bond, which is the second necessary condition for initiating free radical polymerization; during the annealing heating process, the thiol initiates the free radical polymerization reaction of the carbon-carbon double bond, and a polymer layer is in-situ generated at the interface between the co-self-assembled layer and the perovskite layer.

[0016] In some embodiments, the ionic liquid has a structure shown in formula (IV) and / or formula (V): where 1 ≤ x 1 ≤ 3, 1 ≤ x 2 ≤ 3.

[0019] In some more specific embodiments, the perovskite solar cell structure includes a substrate and a nickel oxide layer, a co - self - assembly layer, an in - situ polymer layer, a perovskite layer, a passivation layer, an electron transport layer, and a top electrode, which are sequentially disposed on the substrate.

[0020] Among them, the co - self - assembly layer is located between NiO x and the perovskite, and includes self - assembly molecules represented by the compound of formula (I), named SAM - 1. The introduced self - assembly molecules contain at least one of the compounds of formula (II) and formula (III), named SAM - 2.

[0025] The concentration of the ionic liquid added to the perovskite layer precursor solution is 0.05 - 0.2 mg / mL.

[0026] In the present invention, the phosphoric acid anchoring end of SAM - 2 is used to enhance the anchoring ability of Co - SAMs molecules on the surface of the lower - layer NiO x so as to improve the coverage rate and uniformity of the co - self - assembly layer; the mercapto end group of SAM - 2, as an electron - withdrawing group, can not only passivate NiO xSurface defects, while providing contact sites for in-situ polymerization, during the annealing process, an in-situ radical polymerization reaction occurs with at least one of the ionic liquids of formula (IV) or formula (V) aggregated on the bottom surface of the perovskite to form a POL-AVM polymer. The formation of this polymer helps to further strengthen the adhesion between the co-self-assembled layer and the perovskite bottom interface. At the same time, POL-AVM forms multiple hydrogen bond interactions with the perovskite organic cations, further inhibiting the escape of organic cations, thereby reducing interface defects and enhancing the stability of the perovskite solar cell. Through this dual mechanism based on Co-SAMs and in-situ polymerization, not only can the defects at the buried bottom interface of the perovskite be effectively passivated and the interface contact be enhanced, but also the photoelectric conversion efficiency and long-term stability of the perovskite solar cell can be significantly improved.
