Abstract

The invention relates to a tin-containing perovskite solar cell with an optimized polyphenol derivative doping strategy and a preparation method of the tin-containing perovskite solar cell, and belongs to the technical field of solar cells. The device structure of the perovskite solar cell sequentially comprises a transparent conductive oxide substrate, a hole transport layer, a tin-containing perovskite active layer, an electron transport layer and a metal electrode from bottom to top. According to the invention, a polyphenol derivative additive is doped with a tin-containing perovskite precursor solution, and the effects of oxidation resistance, crystallization regulation and control and defect passivation are realized at the same time. By using the polyphenol derivative additive, oxidative damage can be effectively avoided, and the stability of the solution and the film is improved. The prepared thin film has reduced defect density and reduced surface roughness, and the quality of the thin film is improved. Besides, the surface of the prepared tin-containing perovskite layer is more partial to n-type, the optimization of the energy band structure effectively reduces the carrier transport barrier at the interface, inhibits the carrier non-radiative recombination at the interface, and significantly improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the device.
