Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of perovskite solar cells, and in particular to a preparation method and application of a phenothiazine-based organic polymer hole transport material. Background Art

[0002] Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted widespread attention in the photovoltaic field due to their excellent power conversion efficiency (PCE), simple fabrication process, and low cost. After more than a decade of development, the PCE of inverted devices has increased from 3.8% to 27%. Hole transport materials (HTMs) are essential functional layers, primarily transporting holes while protecting the perovskite light-absorbing layer from water and oxygen in the external environment, thereby effectively improving PSC device performance. Poly(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine) (PTAA) is one of the most widely used HTMs in inverted PSCs. However, its strong hydrophobicity requires dopants or surface post-treatment, resulting in complex and costly device fabrication, which has limited its commercialization. Therefore, the development of a simple, efficient, and low-cost HTM is highly urgent.

[0003] Phenothiazine (PTZ) contains N and S heteroatoms and can react with Pb 2+ It undergoes Lewis acid-base interaction to passivate defects in the perovskite layer, and possesses abundant modification sites and excellent electron-donating properties, making it a promising molecular framework. The methoxy group, as an electron-donating group, also possesses good hydrophilicity, effectively improving molecular wettability, reducing buried defects, and inhibiting non-radiative recombination.

Cyclic voltammetry measured that it has a more suitable highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level (-5.26eV) than the mainstream hole transport material PTAA, providing a strong driving force for hole transport. In addition, by conducting contact angle tests separately, it can be clearly seen that the contact angle of PPTZ-OM with the perovskite precursor solution is smaller (38.3°) than that of PTAA (46.4°), which is conducive to its film crystallization in the perovskite layer, effectively reducing interface defects, and can prepare inverted perovskite solar cell (PSC) devices without other post-processing, with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 20.27%. This shows that PPTZ-OM has good application potential in PSC.

The workstation parameters are set as follows: InitE (V) = 1.2; HighE (V) = 1.2; LowE (V) = 0; InitP / N = N; ScanRate (V / s) = 0.05; Segment = 6; SampleInterval (V) = 0.001; QuietTime (sec) = 2; Sensitivity (A / V) = 1e-5.

[0060] Example 4:

[0061] The organic hole transport material PPTZ-OM prepared in Example 1 was used to prepare perovskite solar cells according to the literature: Zhang, S.; Wu, R.; Mu, C.; Wang, Y.; Han, L.; Wu, Y.; Zhu, W.-H., Conjugated Self-Assembled Monolayer as Stable Hole-Selective Contact for Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells. ACS Materials Letters 2022, 4(10), 1976-1983. The test results are shown in Figure 5 The open circuit voltage of the perovskite solar cell is 1.104V, the short circuit current density is 22.42mAcm-2, the fill factor is 81.88%, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is 20.27%.

[0062] Example 5:

Any changes, substitutions, modifications, etc. made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0065] like Figure 4 、 5 As shown in the figure, the HOMO energy level of PPTZ-OM measured by cyclic voltammetry is -5.26 eV, which can better match the perovskite valence band compared with PTAA, which is conducive to hole transport.

[0066] like Figure 6 、 7 As shown in Figure 8, through the H NMR spectrum test and analysis, it can be seen that the intermediate of the synthesis of PPTZ-OM is consistent with the corresponding H NMR spectrum data, confirming the accuracy of the synthesized structure.

[0067] like Figure 9 、 10 As shown in Table 1, the photovoltaic performance of PPTZ-OM and its corresponding parameters can be fully understood by conducting JV curve and EQE curve tests under AM 1.5G light. The open circuit voltage (VOC) is 1.104V, the short circuit voltage (JSC) is 22.42mAcm-2 and the fill factor (FF) is 81.88%, which fully meet the requirements for the hole transport layer in the inverted perovskite solar cell device.

[0069] Table 1

[0070] like Figure 11 、 12 As shown, by conducting contact angle tests and solubility tests respectively, it can be clearly seen that compared with PTAA, PPTZ-OM has a smaller contact angle with the perovskite precursor solution, which is conducive to the crystallization of the perovskite layer thereon. At the same time, it has better solubility in solutions of different polarities, which is conducive to solution processing. No other post-processing is required to prepare inverted perovskite solar cell devices.

[0071] like Figure 13As shown in Figure 2, the solubility of PTAA-OM was tested in solvents of different polarities, including dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N,N'-dimethylformamide (DMF), toluene, and dichloromethane (DCM).

[0072] In the second aspect, a phenothiazine-based organic polymer hole transport material is used, which adopts the preparation method of the phenothiazine-based organic polymer hole transport material described in the first aspect and is applied to the field of perovskite solar cells.

[0073] Beneficial effects:

[0074] (1) The phenothiazine-based polymer hole transport material prepared in the present invention has good solubility in solvents of different polarities, such as dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N'-dimethylformamide, toluene, chlorobenzene, and dichloromethane;

[0075] (2) The raw materials of the phenothiazine-based polymer hole transport material prepared by the present invention (phenothiazine, p-bromoanisole, etc.) are low in cost, which effectively reduces the preparation cost of HTM and is suitable for commercial application production;

[0076] (3) The phenothiazine-based polymer hole transport material prepared by the present invention has a deeper HOMO energy level, which is more compatible with the valence band of the perovskite light absorption layer;

[0077] (4) The planar spatial configuration of the phenothiazine-based polymer hole transport material prepared by the present invention can effectively enhance the "π-π" stacking between molecules, while increasing the film flatness, promoting the ideal growth of perovskite crystals thereon, and giving the device excellent efficiency and long-term stability;

[0078] (5) The phenothiazine-based polymer hole transport material prepared in the present invention has good wettability in perovskite precursor solution, and the contact angle data can be put on it (compared with PTAA) without any dopant and surface post-treatment. It can be used in inverted perovskite solar cells, which is better than the common polymer HTM on the market (taking PTAA as an example), indicating that the polymer described in the present invention has broad application prospects.

[0079] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the preparation method and application of a phenothiazine-based organic polymer hole transport material of the present invention. Of course, this cannot be used to limit the scope of the rights of the present invention.
