Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of solar cell technology, and in particular to modified hole transport layers and their preparation methods, perovskite solar cells, and electrical devices. Background Technology

[0002] Inverted perovskite solar cells boast high efficiency (>26%), and by fabricating tandem solar cells, device efficiency can be further improved to over 30%. Currently, high-efficiency perovskite solar cells mostly employ self-assembled monolayer (SAM) materials as the hole transport layer. SAM small-molecule materials exhibit structural variability; through structural design and processing optimization, they can be combined with different perovskite materials to fabricate high-performance perovskite solar cells. Commonly used SAM materials such as 2PACz, Me-4PACz, and 4PADCB have demonstrated good device performance, but problems such as uneven distribution of the SAM film on the substrate and poor surface wettability still exist during processing. Uneven distribution of the SAM film on the substrate has various causes, such as self-aggregation of SAM before coating into a liquid film to form microcapsule structures, or the formation of coffee rings during solvent evaporation after large-area SAM coating into a liquid film. Poor surface wettability of SAM is related to the packing density of hydrophobic groups at the SAM head; hydrophobic SAM at the head has poor contact with the perovskite.

[0003] To ensure uniform distribution of SAM films on the substrate, methods include adding solvents to disrupt SAM microcapsules in solution, and using co-adsorbed additives to fill in uncovered areas. To modify surface wettability, methods include fabricating SAM on NiOx films, and altering the molecular design of SAM to use SAM with hydrophilic groups. However, these improved methods only meet the requirements of small-area devices, exhibiting poor repeatability in large-area components, and failing to effectively solve the problems of SAM material processing uniformity and surface wettability in large-area components. Summary of the Invention

[0046] In a first aspect, this application provides a modified hole transport layer, comprising a hole transport layer and a modified layer disposed on the side surface of the hole transport layer away from the substrate;

[0051] Organic amine salts possess a structure with one hydrophilic side and the other hydrophobic side, exhibiting surfactant functions. When used as additives in SAM solutions, they effectively disrupt microcapsules formed by SAM in solution, preventing SAM aggregation and promoting SAM coverage of the substrate. When used as surface treatment agents for SAM layers, their hydrophobic side can generate conjugated interactions with the SAM head, while the hydrophilic tail groups can contact the perovskite solution, improving the wettability of the perovskite. Furthermore, organic amine salts can interact with halide ions in the perovskite, promoting perovskite crystallization and passivating perovskite defects. This application uses organic amine salts as additives to modify self-assembled monolayer materials to prepare hole transport layers, and further uses organic amine salts as surface treatment agents to modify the hole transport layers. This addresses the issues of uniform distribution and surface wettability of self-assembled monolayer materials, prevents direct contact between the conductive substrate and perovskite leading to potential barriers, effectively improves the efficiency of large-area perovskite modules, and meets the needs of large-area processing.

[0084] 3) A perovskite layer (500 nm Cs) was sequentially prepared on the modified hole transport layer. 0.17 FA 0.83 PbI 2.25 Br 0.75 ), electron transport layer (15nm C) 60 The perovskite solar cell module is fabricated by first preparing a buffer layer (15nm SnO2) and then performing P2 laser scribing; then proceeding to prepare the back electrode (120nm Cu) and performing P3 laser scribing, and finally performing P4 laser edge cleaning.

[0086] Except that the self-assembled monolayer material SAM is Me-4PACz, the organic amine salt is benzylamine tetrafluoroborate, the concentrations of solutions A and B are both 0.1 mg / mL, and the thicknesses of the hole transport layer and the modified layer are 1 nm and 2 nm, respectively, the rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0087] Example 3

[0088] Except that the self-assembled monolayer material SAM is Me-4PACz, the organic amine salt is phenylalanine acetate, the concentration of solution A is 0.1 mg / mL, the concentration of solution B is 2 mg / mL, and the thicknesses of the hole transport layer and the modified layer are 1 nm and 8 nm, respectively, the rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0089] Example 4

[0090] Except that the self-assembled monolayer material SAM is Me-4PACz, the organic amine salt is 4-fluorophenylmethylamine cyano salt, the concentration of solution A is 0.8 mg / mL, the concentration of solution B is 2 mg / mL, and the thicknesses of the hole transport layer and the modified layer are 4 nm and 8 nm, respectively, the rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0091] Example 5

[0092] Except that the self-assembled monolayer material SAM is Me-4PACz, the organic amine salt is 4-methylbenzylamine thiocyanate, the concentration of solution A is 2 mg / mL, the concentration of solution B is 0.1 mg / mL, and the thicknesses of the hole transport layer and the modified layer are 5 nm and 2 nm, respectively, the rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0093] Comparative Example 1

[0094] Except that solution A is directly coated onto the FTO substrate to form a hole transport layer, and solution B is not used to modify the surface of the hole transport layer (neither organic amine salt is used as an additive nor as a surface treatment agent), the rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0095] Comparative Example 2

[0096] Except for not using solution B to modify the hole transport layer surface (only organic amine salts are used as additives, not as surface treatment agents), the rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0097] Comparative Example 3

[0098] Except for directly coating solution A onto the FTO substrate to form a hole transport layer (without using organic amine salts as additives, only using organic amine salts as surface treatment agents), the rest is the same as in Example 1.

[0099] Comparative Example 4

[0100] Except that the organic amine salt is 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (i.e., the cation is 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation), the rest is the same as in Example 2.

[0101] Test Case

[0102] 1. The water contact angles of the modified hole transport layer of Example 1, the hole transport layers of Comparative Examples 1-2, and the modified hole transport layer of Comparative Example 3 were tested using a water contact angle tester. The results are shown in the appendix. Figures 1-4 .

[0103] It can be seen that the water contact angle of Example 1 is 68.2°, which is smaller than that of Comparative Examples 1-3 (73.3°-92.9°). The smaller the water contact angle, the stronger the interaction between the material surface and water, and the better the spreading performance of the liquid on the material surface, i.e., the better the wettability. Therefore, Example 1 achieved significantly better surface wettability.

[0104] 2. The open-circuit voltage (Voc), current (Isc), fill factor (FF), and initial power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the perovskite solar cell modules were tested using a solar simulator and a Keithley 2400 source meter. Performance tests were conducted on the perovskite solar cell modules prepared in the examples and comparative examples; the results are shown in Table 1.

[0105] Table 1 Summary of Performance of Examples and Comparative Examples

[0106]

[0107] As can be seen from Table 1, the large-area perovskite solar cell modules prepared in Examples 1-5 have good cell efficiency (>16.5%), which is significantly better than that of the unmodified Comparative Example 1 (14%).

[0108] Comparing Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3, it can be seen that the sum of the improvement (2.5%) of Example 1 compared to Comparative Example 1 is worse than that of Example 1 compared to Comparative Example 1 (3.7%) when only organic amine salts are used as additives or surface treatment agents for self-assembled monolayer materials (SAM). This shows that using organic amine salts as both additives and surface treatment agents for self-assembled monolayer materials (SAM) can have a synergistic effect and improve the modification effect.

[0109] Comparing Example 2 and Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that the specific type of organic amine salt cation has a significant impact on its modification effect. The effect of using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation is not good, and its effect is even worse than that of the unmodified Comparative Example 1.
