Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of the preparation of perovskite optoelectronic devices, and particularly relates to a method for bulk passivation of perovskite and its application. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, organic-inorganic halide perovskite materials have shown great application potential in solar cell applications. Currently, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has been increased to a certified efficiency of 26.7%, which is comparable to that of traditional crystalline silicon solar cells. This is mainly due to the excellent optoelectronic properties of perovskite materials, including a high optical absorption coefficient (10 5 cm -1 ), a long carrier diffusion length (>1 μm), an adjustable direct bandgap, etc.
[0003] Perovskite materials have attracted much attention in the fields of solar cells, light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, defects in perovskite materials significantly affect their performance and stability. Defects are mainly divided into bulk defects and surface / interface defects, which act as non-radiative recombination centers, reducing the carrier lifetime and possibly causing material degradation. Therefore, understanding the types, formation mechanisms, and effects of perovskite defects is crucial for optimizing device performance. Among them, the device performance of perovskite solar cells is more sensitive to bulk defects. Bulk defects mainly exist inside the lattice of perovskite materials, affecting the processes of carrier generation, transport, and recombination, and thus affecting the optoelectronic conversion efficiency and stability of the device.
[0004] In recent years, due to the advantages of simple process, low cost, stable effect, and easy amplification in bulk passivation, it has gradually become one of the research hotspots in perovskite defect passivation. So far, many passivation methods have been proposed to reduce the defect density and defect-induced recombination. Additives based on Lewis acid-base theory, including solvents, ionic liquids, small molecules, and polymers, are used to modify perovskite films with various functional groups.
[0005] Small molecule bulk passivation shows significant advantages in the repair of bulk defects in perovskite solar cells due to its high reactivity, strong permeability, process compatibility, and versatility. Compared with other passivation methods, small molecule passivation has unique potential in improving device performance and reducing costs. Future research should focus on developing more stable and efficient small molecule passivators and optimizing the passivation process to promote the commercial application of perovskite solar cells.
[0006] However, despite the significant advantages of small-molecule bulk passivation, some common problems still exist:
[0007] 1. Interference with the perovskite crystallization process: It competes with perovskite crystallization, leading to a decline in film quality. When the compatibility between small molecules and perovskite materials is poor, phase separation may occur, forming impurity phases.
[0008] 2. Long-term stability: Some small molecules may degrade under light or humidity conditions, and more stable passivators need to be developed.
[0009] 3. Process optimization: The introduction method and concentration of small molecules need to be further optimized to achieve the best passivation effect. Summary of the Invention
[0010] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for perovskite bulk passivation and its application in solar cells.
[0011] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0012] A method for perovskite bulk passivation, which includes the following steps:

[0015] S3: Use the perovskite precursor solution mixture obtained in S2, adopt a wet preparation process, and form a passivated perovskite film through coating, desolvation, and post-annealing.
[0016] This method can realize the regulation of the wet nucleation and crystallization process of perovskite and the in-situ passivation of the film interface. This method is applicable to passivate various perovskite systems in perovskite solar cells and their optoelectronic devices.

[0033] A perovskite solar cell, which includes a bottom electrode, a hole transport layer (HTL), a perovskite active layer, an electron transport layer (ETL), and a top electrode, and the perovskite active layer is formed by the perovskite bulk passivation method as described above.
[0034] The perovskite solar cell includes an organic-inorganic perovskite solar cell or an inorganic perovskite solar cell.
[0035] Among the functional organic molecules:
[0036] The Lewis acid functional group has an electron acceptor function, can form hydrogen bonds with A-site cations, X-site halogen ions, etc. in the perovskite precursor solution, reduce the solubility of the precursor, accelerate the nucleation rate, form more uniform nucleation sites, and enrich at the grain boundaries and the upper surface of the perovskite film after film formation to passivate related basic defects;
[0037] The Lewis base functional group has the ability of a lone pair electron donor, can form chemical bonds with Pb 2+ in the precursor solution and metal ions in the inorganic transport layer (such as Ni 2+ , Sn 4+ ); through the "organic molecule - Pb 2+ " chemical anchoring effect, the nucleation and crystallization process mediated by [PbI6] 4- octahedrons in the perovskite wet film is regulated, and at the same time, the interaction of "organic molecule - Ni 2+ " or "organic molecule - Sn 4+ " promotes the spontaneous deposition of organic small molecules at the inorganic transport layer / perovskite interface during the preparation of the perovskite film to achieve in-situ interface modification and passivation;
[0038] The Lewis acid and the basic functional group can synergistically play a role in defect passivation and interface stability enhancement:
[0039] 1. The Lewis basic functional group reduces non-radiative recombination by passivating surface defects, and the Lewis acidic functional group forms a low-dimensional perovskite structure to optimize the interfacial energy level alignment. The two together improve the open-circuit voltage (VOC) and fill factor (FF) of the device.
[0040] 2. The hydroxyl group of the Lewis basic functional group can enhance interfacial contact with the Lewis acidic functional group on the perovskite surface through hydrogen bonding or electrostatic interaction, form a more stable interface, and promote charge transport and extraction.
[0041] 3. The Lewis basic functional group and the acidic functional group can enhance the contact between interfaces, promote charge transport, and solve the problem of discontinuity of the electron transport layer caused by the hydrophobic interface.
[0042] Since the Lewis acid and base functional groups will form different coordinations or chemical bonds, and the bonding or coordination ability of these functional groups is affected by their positions, that is, the position and number of condensed or aromatic rings; therefore, the Lewis acidic functional group and the Lewis basic functional group need to be isolated by a single or multiple aromatic rings to avoid adverse internal reactions between molecules; if there is only one aromatic ring in the molecule, the Lewis acid and base groups are located at the meta and para positions of the aromatic ring; if the molecule contains condensed and aromatic rings (such as naphthalene, carbazole, carbazole indole, phenanthrene, etc.), the Lewis acid and base groups cannot appear in the ortho form in terms of spatial position.
[0043] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0044] 1. The functional organic molecule used in the present invention optimizes the nucleation and crystallization process, improves the quality of the perovskite thin film, and effectively improves the interfacial defects of the thin film, thereby enhancing the efficiency and stability of the optoelectronic device.
[0045] 2. The functional organic molecule used in the present invention is a bulk phase additive applicable to perovskites in multiple systems, and is applicable to organic and inorganic perovskite systems.
[0046] Other features and beneficial effects of the present invention will be described in the subsequent specification, and part of them will be obvious from the specification or understood by implementing the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
