Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of solar cells, and more particularly, to a method for preparing a perovskite tandem solar cell and a perovskite tandem solar cell. Background Art
[0002] The dual-terminal perovskite / silicon tandem solar cell under research aims to break through the efficiency limit of single-junction crystalline silicon cells without adding too much cost and achieve a high-efficiency perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem solar cell. So far, only a few commercially sized perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem solar cells have been reported, and most of their metallization processes use evaporated nano silver metal particles or screen-printed ultra-low temperature silver paste. From the perspective of commercialization cost, since the material costs of low-temperature silver paste and nano silver metal particles are too high, it is not very suitable for large-scale production.
[0003] Currently, copper electroplating in perovskite solar cells uses atomic layer deposition technology. Atomic layer deposition equipment is expensive and the equipment cost is high. At the same time, although the thin film prepared by atomic layer deposition technology is dense and pore-free, it also means low production capacity and too long process time, making it difficult to meet the production capacity requirements. In addition, depositing a layer of metal oxide on perovskite will seriously affect the light absorption of the battery, increase additional absorption loss, resulting in a decrease in current density. At the same time, some metal oxides have poor conductivity, which will also reduce the lateral conductivity of the entire battery and lower the electrical performance of the battery.

[0055] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present application. However, the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0056] Next, refer to Figures 1 to 2 Describe a method for preparing a perovskite tandem solar cell and a perovskite tandem solar cell according to some embodiments of the present application.
[0057] Example 1
[0058] A method for preparing a perovskite tandem solar cell includes the following steps:
[0059] S100: Place the silicon wafer in an alkaline solution to obtain a double-sided textured silicon wafer 100, and clean the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100;
[0060] Specifically, place the silicon wafer in a mixed solution of potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide, a special additive for small surface texture, and ultrapure water for reaction for 200 s - 1800 s to form a double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with a pyramid structure on the surface, and the size of the pyramid is 0.5 um - 4 um; then wash away the residual mixed solution in the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with clean water.
[0061] S200: On the first side of the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100, sequentially prepare a first intrinsic amorphous silicon thin film layer 210, a first doped silicon thin film layer 310, a composite layer 410, and a hole transport layer 510;
[0062] Specifically, the first doped silicon thin film layer 310 is a phosphorus-doped silicon thin film layer, the thickness of the first doped silicon thin film layer 310 is 5 nm - 40 nm, the composite layer 410 is an indium tin oxide layer, the thickness of the composite layer 410 is 20 nm, the hole transport layer 510 is a nickel oxide layer, and the thickness of the hole transport layer 510 is 12 nm.
[0063] S300: On the second side of the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 opposite to the first side, sequentially prepare a second intrinsic amorphous silicon thin film layer 220 and a second doped silicon thin film layer 320;
[0064] Specifically, the second doped silicon thin film layer 320 is a boron-doped silicon thin film layer, and the thickness of the second doped silicon thin film layer 320 is 5 nm - 60 nm.
[0065] S400: Prepare a perovskite light-absorbing layer on the hole transport layer 510 by solution spin coating method, and sequentially prepare a passivation layer 710, an electron transport layer 810, and a protective layer 910 on the perovskite light-absorbing layer;
[0066] Furthermore, the perovskite light-absorbing layer can be any one of a first perovskite light-absorbing layer 611 and a second perovskite light-absorbing layer 612;
[0067] It should be noted that during the process of preparing the perovskite tandem solar cell, the first perovskite light-absorbing layer 611 or the second perovskite light-absorbing layer 612 can be selected according to specific requirements or performance optimization goals.
[0068] Optionally, in S400, the first perovskite light-absorbing layer 611 is prepared on the hole transport layer 510 by solution spin coating method, specifically:
[0069] S411: Dissolve formamidinium iodide, formamidinium bromide, and formamidinium chloride in an isopropanol solution in a ratio of 3:1:2 to obtain a first organic amine solution;
[0070] S412: Simultaneously evaporate and cover lead iodide and cesium bromide on the surface of the hole transport layer 510 through a thermal evaporation device to form an inorganic layer on the surface of the hole transport layer 510;
[0071] S413: Place the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with the prepared inorganic layer into a nitrogen protection box, uniformly drop the first organic amine solution on the inorganic layer, and set the rotation speed and rotation time to rotate the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100;
[0072] S414: Take out the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 from the nitrogen protection box, perform annealing heat treatment, and obtain the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with the first perovskite light-absorbing layer 611 prepared.
[0073] It should be noted that in S411, an electronic balance is used to weigh formamidinium iodide (FAI), formamidinium bromide (FABr), and formamidinium chloride (FACl) and dissolve them in an isopropyl alcohol solution in a ratio of 3:1:2 to obtain a first organic amine solution with a concentration of 0.65 M. This is a pure formamidinium organic amine salt system. In S412, a thermal evaporation device is used, and the left and right evaporation sources simultaneously evaporate lead iodide and cesium bromide to form an inorganic layer. The evaporation rate of lead iodide needs to be stable at 1.2 Å / s, and the evaporation rate of cesium bromide needs to be stable at 0.12 Å / s. S413: Place the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with the prepared inorganic layer into the nitrogen protection box, use a pipette to take 500 μL of the first organic amine solution and evenly drop it on the surface of the inorganic layer. After standing for 30 seconds, rotate it at a speed of 4500 revolutions per minute for 30 seconds, and then take it out of the nitrogen protection box and heat-anneal it at 150 °C for 25 minutes in an environment with a humidity of 40% to obtain the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with the first perovskite light-absorbing layer 611 prepared.
[0074] It should be noted that in S411, by precisely controlling the ratio of formamidinium iodide, formamidinium bromide, and formamidinium chloride (3:1:2), the chemical composition of the perovskite light-absorbing layer can be precisely regulated, thereby optimizing its optoelectronic properties. This precise composition control is crucial for improving the conversion efficiency of solar cells. In S412, a layer of inorganic layer (composed of lead iodide and cesium bromide) is formed on the surface of the hole transport layer 510 through a thermal evaporation device. This inorganic layer can serve as a buffer layer between the perovskite light-absorbing layer and the hole transport layer 510, optimize the interfacial contact between the two, reduce charge recombination losses, and improve charge transport efficiency. In S413, in the nitrogen protection box, the first organic amine solution is evenly dropped on the inorganic layer, and the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 is rotated by setting the rotation speed and rotation time. This method can ensure the uniform distribution of the perovskite solution on the silicon wafer surface, thereby preparing a perovskite light-absorbing layer with good uniformity. This is very important for improving the performance stability and consistency of solar cells. The annealing heat treatment in S414 can promote the crystallization of the perovskite light-absorbing layer, improve its crystallization quality and stability. Good crystallization quality helps to reduce defects and charge recombination centers, thereby improving the conversion efficiency and long-term stability of solar cells. Throughout S400, especially in S413, a nitrogen protection box is used for preparation. As an inert gas, nitrogen can exclude the influence of impurities such as oxygen and moisture in the air on the preparation process of the perovskite light-absorbing layer, thereby ensuring the preparation of a high-quality perovskite light-absorbing layer.
[0075] Optionally, in S400, a solution spin coating method is used to prepare the second perovskite light-absorbing layer 612 on the hole transport layer 510. Specifically:
[0076] S421: Dissolve formamidinium iodide, formamidinium bromide, formamidinium chloride, lead iodide, and cesium bromide in an ethanol solution in a ratio of 3:1:1:5:2 to obtain a second organic amine solution;
[0077] S422: Place the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with the prepared hole transport layer 510 into a nitrogen protection box, evenly drop the second organic amine solution on the inorganic layer, and set the rotation speed and rotation time to rotate the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100;
[0078] S423: Take out the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 from the nitrogen protection box, perform annealing heat treatment to obtain the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with the prepared second perovskite light-absorbing layer 612.
[0079] It should be noted that in S421, an electronic balance is used to weigh formamidinium iodide (FAI), formamidinium bromide (FABr), formamidinium chloride (FACl), lead iodide (PbI2), cesium bromide (CsBr), and dissolve them in an ethanol solution in a ratio of 3:1:1:5:2 to obtain a second organic amine solution with a concentration of 0.70M, which is the perovskite precursor solution; in S422, the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with the prepared hole transport layer 510 is placed into a nitrogen protection box, and 600 μL of the second organic amine solution is taken with a pipette and evenly dropped on the surface of the hole transport layer 510. After standing for 15 seconds, it is rotated at a speed of 4000 revolutions per minute for 30 seconds, and then taken out from the nitrogen protection box and heated and annealed at 150 °C for 25 minutes in an environment with a humidity of 40% to obtain the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with the prepared second perovskite light-absorbing layer 612.
[0080] It should be noted that in S421, a perovskite precursor solution with multiple components can be prepared by dissolving formamidinium iodide, formamidinium bromide, formamidinium chloride, lead iodide, and cesium bromide in an ethanol solution in a specific ratio (3:1:1:5:2); compared with the S410 series of steps, the S420 series of steps omits the separate inorganic layer preparation step (such as S412); instead, it is achieved by directly adding inorganic components (lead iodide and cesium bromide) to the organic amine solution; this simplified preparation step can reduce the process complexity, improve production efficiency, and may reduce production costs, but the uniform coverage of the second perovskite light-absorbing layer 612 is not as good as that of the first perovskite light-absorbing layer 611; in S422, the second organic amine solution is uniformly dropped onto the hole transport layer 510 in a nitrogen protection box, and the solution is ensured to be evenly distributed by rotating the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100; in S423, the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 is taken out of the nitrogen protection box and subjected to annealing heat treatment; the annealing treatment can promote the crystallization of the perovskite light-absorbing layer, improve its crystallization quality and stability; good crystallization quality helps to reduce defects and charge recombination centers, thereby improving the conversion efficiency and long-term stability of the solar cell.
[0081] Furthermore, in S400, a passivation layer 710, an electron transport layer 810, and a protective layer 910 are sequentially prepared on the perovskite light-absorbing layer; specifically,
[0082] S431: The double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with the prepared perovskite light-absorbing layer is placed in a mask plate to deposit a layer of lithium fluoride to obtain the passivation layer 710;
[0083] S432: A layer of C60 is deposited on the passivation layer 710 to obtain the electron transport layer 810;
[0084] S433: The double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with the prepared electron transport layer 810 is placed in an atomic layer deposition device, and by alternately purging with a tin source and a water source, the protective layer 910 is obtained.
[0085] It should be noted that first, in S431, the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with the prepared perovskite light-absorbing layer is placed in a specific mask plate, and a layer of lithium fluoride (LiF) with a thickness of 1 nm is deposited at a deposition rate of 0.12 Å / s as the passivation layer 710; then, in S432, a layer of C60 with a thickness of 20 nm is deposited on the passivation layer 710 at a deposition rate of 0.15 Å / s as the electron transport layer 810; finally, in S433, the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with the prepared electron transport layer 810 is placed in an atomic layer deposition device (ALD), and by alternately purging with a tin source and a water source, a layer-by-layer tin dioxide (SnO2) molecular layer is formed by reaction, and finally, through 120 alternating purge cycles, a protective layer 910 with a thickness of 15 nm is obtained.
[0086] It should be noted that in step S431, a layer of lithium fluoride is deposited on the perovskite light-absorbing layer as the passivation layer 710; lithium fluoride has excellent passivation effect, which can effectively reduce the density of defect states on the surface of the perovskite light-absorbing layer, thereby reducing the charge recombination rate and improving the charge collection efficiency; in addition, lithium fluoride can also provide good interfacial contact, which helps the transfer of electrons from the perovskite light-absorbing layer to the electron transport layer 810; in S432, a layer of carbon 60 (C60) is deposited on the passivation layer 710 as the electron transport layer 810; C60 is an excellent electron acceptor material with high electron mobility and good stability; it can effectively collect and transport electrons from the perovskite light-absorbing layer while blocking the transport of holes, thus realizing the effective separation of electrons and holes; in addition, C60 can also form good interfacial contact with the perovskite light-absorbing layer and the passivation layer 710, which helps to reduce the charge recombination at the interface; in S433, a protective layer 910 is deposited on the electron transport layer 810 by an atomic layer deposition device; the protective layer 910 is usually composed of inorganic materials (such as tin dioxide, aluminum oxide, etc.) and has excellent chemical stability and mechanical strength; it can effectively protect the perovskite light-absorbing layer and the electron transport layer 810 from being eroded by the external environment (such as water, oxygen, ultraviolet rays, etc.), thereby improving the long-term stability of the solar cell; in addition, the protective layer 910 can also play a certain role in optical regulation, which helps to optimize the spectral response of the solar cell; by sequentially preparing the passivation layer 710, the electron transport layer 810 and the protective layer 910, a perovskite tandem solar cell with a complete structure and excellent performance can be constructed; this structure can not only effectively improve the conversion efficiency of the solar cell, but also significantly enhance its long-term stability; in addition, the flexibility and adjustability of this preparation method also provide more possibilities for the research and development of perovskite solar cells.
[0087] S500: A first transparent conductive oxide thin film layer 1010 is deposited on the protective layer 910 by physical vapor deposition, and a second transparent conductive oxide thin film layer 1020 is deposited on the second doped silicon thin film layer 320.
[0088] Specifically, the first transparent conductive oxide thin film layer 1010 and the second transparent conductive oxide thin film layer 1020 can be one of indium tin oxide thin film, tungsten-doped indium oxide thin film, doped tin oxide thin film, doped aluminum oxide thin film.
[0089] S600: A first copper electrode 1110 is prepared on the first transparent conductive oxide thin film layer 1010 by an edge protection treatment method and an electroplating treatment method, and a second copper electrode 1120 is prepared on the second transparent conductive oxide thin film layer 1020.
[0090] Among them, the edge protection treatment method is to protect the perovskite light-absorbing layer when preparing the first copper electrode 1110 and the second copper electrode 1120;
[0091] Further, in S600, the edge protection treatment method and the electroplating treatment method are used to prepare the first copper electrode 1110 on the first transparent conductive oxide thin film layer 1010 and the second copper electrode 1120 on the second transparent conductive oxide thin film layer 1020; specifically:
[0092] S610: Deposit the first seed layer on the first transparent conductive oxide thin film layer 1010 and the second seed layer on the second transparent conductive oxide thin film layer 1020 by physical vapor deposition;
[0093] S620: Print the first mask layer on the first seed layer and the second mask layer on the second seed layer by printing;
[0094] S630: Use photosensitive ink to perform the first edge protection on the sides of the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 printed with the first mask layer and the second mask layer;
[0095] S640: Expose and develop the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 after edge protection to obtain the first grid line trench on the first mask layer and the second grid line trench on the second mask layer;
[0096] S650: Electroplate the first copper electrode 1110 on the first grid line trench and the second copper electrode 1120 in the second grid line trench by electroplating;
[0097] S660: Place the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 prepared with the first copper electrode 1110 and the second copper electrode 1120 into an alkaline solution to remove the first mask layer and the second mask layer, and at the same time, the photosensitive ink for the first edge protection will also be removed;
[0098] S670: Use photosensitive ink to perform the second edge protection on the sides of the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 after removing the first mask layer and the second mask layer, and form an edge layer 1300 on the sides of the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100;
[0099] S680: Place the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 after the second edge protection into an acidic solution to remove the first seed layer and the second seed layer.
[0100] It should be noted that in S610, a first seed layer with a thickness of 10 nm - 150 nm is deposited on the first transparent conductive oxide thin film layer 1010 by physical vapor deposition (PVD), and a second seed layer with a thickness of 10 nm - 150 nm is deposited on the second transparent conductive oxide thin film layer 1020; in S620, a photosensitive ink is printed on the first seed layer as the first mask layer, and a photosensitive ink is printed on the second seed layer as the second mask layer; in S630, the side edges of the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 printed with the first mask layer and the second mask layer are protected by a first edge coating with photosensitive ink, and the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 and multiple structural layers prepared on the first and second surfaces are subjected to a first edge coating treatment so that their four peripheral edges are protected; in S640, exposure treatment and development treatment are respectively performed on the first mask layer and the second mask layer of the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 after edge coating protection using a lithography machine, a first gate line trench is obtained on the first mask layer, and a second gate line trench is obtained on the second mask layer; then, in S650, a first copper electrode 1110 is electroplated on the first gate line trench, and a second copper electrode 1120 is electroplated in the second gate line trench; wherein, the first copper electrode 1110 includes multiple first main gates with a width of 50 μm - 80 μm and a thickness of 5 μm - 20 μm, and multiple first sub-gates perpendicular to the first main gates with a width of 10 μm - 40 μm and a thickness of 5 μm - 20 μm; the second copper electrode 1120 includes multiple second main gates with a width of 50 μm - 250 μm and a thickness of 5 μm - 20 μm, and multiple second sub-gates perpendicular to the second main gates with a width of 20 μm - 80 μm and a thickness of 5 μm - 20 μm; after the first copper electrode 1110 and the second copper electrode 1120 are formed, in S660, the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 prepared with the first copper electrode 1110 and the second copper electrode 1120 is placed in an alkaline solution containing potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide for reaction for 30 s - 200 s. At this time, the first mask layer and the second mask layer will be removed, and the photosensitive ink for the first edge coating protection will also be removed. However, due to strictly controlling the reaction time to 30 s - 200 s, the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with edge coating protection and multiple structural layers prepared on the first and second surfaces will not be corroded by the alkaline solution; through the second edge coating protection of the side edges of the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 after removing the first mask layer and the second mask layer using photosensitive ink in S670, the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 and multiple structural layers prepared on the first and second surfaces are subjected to a second edge coating treatment so that their four peripheral edges are protected again; finally, in S680, the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 after the second edge coating protection is placed in a dilute sulfuric acid or dilute nitric acid solution for reaction for 30 s - 100 s to remove the first seed layer and the second seed layer, and the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 after removing the first seed layer and the second seed layer is cleaned and dried.
[0101] It should be noted that, through physical vapor deposition, S610 deposited a first seed layer and a second seed layer on the first transparent conductive oxide thin film layer 1010 and the second transparent conductive oxide thin film layer 1020 respectively; these seed layers provided a necessary conductive substrate for the subsequent electroplating process, ensuring that copper ions could be deposited uniformly and effectively at the designated positions; S620 used a printing method to print a first mask layer and a second mask layer on the first seed layer and the second seed layer respectively; the design of the mask layer precisely controlled the shape, size, and position of the copper electrodes, providing precise pattern guidance for the subsequent electroplating process; S630 performed the first edge protection on the side edges of the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 using photosensitive ink; this step effectively prevented the perovskite light-absorbing layer in the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 from being corroded or contaminated during the subsequent exposure, development, and electroplating processes, ensuring the quality and reliability of the product; S640 formed a first grid line groove and a second grid line groove on the first mask layer and the second mask layer respectively through exposure and development; these grooves provided precise paths and shapes for the subsequent electroplating of copper electrodes; S650 used electroplating to electroplate a first copper electrode 1110 and a second copper electrode 1120 in the first grid line groove and the second grid line groove respectively. The electroplated copper electrodes have the advantages of good conductivity, low cost, and easy processing, and can meet the requirements of the solar cell for electrode performance; S660 placed the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 with the prepared copper electrodes into an alkaline solution to remove the first mask layer and the second mask layer, and at the same time removed the photosensitive ink for the first edge protection; S670 performed the second edge protection on the side edges of the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 after removing the mask layer to obtain an edge protection layer 1300; this step further protected the perovskite light-absorbing layer in the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 from being corroded or contaminated during the process of removing the seed layers; S680 placed the double-sided textured silicon wafer 100 after the second edge protection into an acidic solution to remove the first seed layer and the second seed layer; this step is the last step in the preparation of the copper electrodes, ensuring that the final copper electrodes have a clear and complete structure.
