[0033] Solar cells have attracted widespread attention due to their ability to directly convert sunlight into electrical energy without causing environmental pollution. They can be used in a variety of fields, including military, aerospace, industry, commerce, agriculture, and communications.
[0034] Perovskite solar cells have gradually become a hot topic in the research of the new generation of solar cells due to their advantages such as high photoelectric conversion efficiency, simple manufacturing process, low production cost and material cost.
[0035] In recent years, perovskite solar cells have developed rapidly, with efficiency increasing dramatically. Currently, the photoelectric conversion efficiency has exceeded 26%, and the commercialization prospects are promising. A passivation layer is usually placed on the surface of the perovskite to improve device performance and stability. Currently, a common material for the passivation layer is self-assembling materials. Self-assembling molecules suffer from the loss of molecular passivation under ultraviolet light, which can even affect device performance and service life. However, sunlight contains a certain amount of ultraviolet light, which means that to improve the service life of perovskite solar cells, it is crucial to address the photostability of self-assembling molecules.
[0036] In view of this, the present application provides a solar cell, a photovoltaic system, an electrical device, and a power generation device to improve the photostability of self-assembled molecules, thereby improving device performance.

[0038] The solar cell provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a light absorbing layer 11, an electron transport layer 12, a hole transport layer 13, a first electrode layer 14, and a second electrode layer 15. The electron transport layer 12 and the hole transport layer 13 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the light absorbing layer 11. The first electrode layer 14 is arranged on the side of the electron transport layer 12 away from the light absorbing layer 11.

[0047] The material of the hole transport layer 13 includes but is not limited to at least one of 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis(N,N-p-methoxyanilino)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (Spiro-OMeTAD), methoxytriphenylamine-fluoroformamidine, poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine] (PTAA), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), polystyrenesulfonic acid, poly3-hexylthiophene, triphenylamine with triptycene as the core, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-methoxytriphenylamine, N-(4-phenylamino)carbazole-spirobifluorene, polythiophene, phosphate-based monomers, carbazole-based monomers, sulfonic acid-based monomers, triphenylamine-based monomers, aromatic monomers, metal oxides and cuprous thiocyanate, wherein the metal element in the metal oxide selected in the hole transport material includes at least one of Ni, Mo and Cu, for example, nickel oxide.

[0050] In one embodiment, the solar cell further comprises a passivation layer 16, which is disposed between the light absorbing layer 11 and the hole transport layer 13. The material of the passivation layer 16 comprises a self-assembling material and a light-stabilizing material. The passivation layer 16 has both a passivating effect and an effect of improving the light stability of the solar cell. The self-assembling material of the passivation layer 16 can reduce the probability of a redox reaction between the light absorbing layer 11 (perovskite) and the hole transport layer 13, while passivating defects on the surface of the light absorbing layer 11 (perovskite), thereby improving device performance. The light-stabilizing material of the passivation layer 16 can reduce the probability of the self-assembling molecules of the self-assembling material being decomposed under sunlight, resulting in the disappearance of the passivation effect, thereby improving the light stability of the self-assembling material and further improving the performance and stability of the device. The addition of the light-stabilizing material can also improve the wettability of the passivation layer 16, which is beneficial for the coating preparation of perovskites over large areas when the solar cell has a trans structure. It should be noted that the material of the hole transport layer 13 in this embodiment can be the materials described above; for example, the material of the hole transport layer 13 is nickel oxide. When the material of the hole transport layer 13 is nickel oxide, the passivation layer 16 includes a self-assembled material and a photostable material; the self-assembled material can reduce the probability of redox reaction between perovskite and nickel oxide; the self-assembled material will be arranged in a direction on the surface of nickel oxide, resulting in a decrease in surface polarity. By adding photostable materials, the photostable materials provided in this application all contain at least one of the heteroatoms S, O, and N (the specific composition of the photostable materials can be found in the subsequent introduction), and have no tendency to be arranged in a direction, thereby achieving improved wettability.
[0051] Self-assembling materials refer to materials whose molecules can spontaneously assemble and organize into regular structures without the intervention of external forces. Several molecules spontaneously associate and assemble to form a compact and orderly whole. It is understood that the definition of self-assembling materials in the following content is the same as this one and will not be repeated here.
[0052] In one embodiment, the material of the hole transport layer 13 includes a self-assembly material and a light-stable material. The self-assembly material has both the hole transport function and the function of passivating the surface defects of the light absorption layer 11 (perovskite). The light-stable material can reduce the probability that the self-assembly molecules of the self-assembly material are decomposed under the irradiation of sunlight, resulting in the disappearance of the passivation effect, thereby improving the light stability of the self-assembly material and thus improving the performance and stability of the device. The addition of the light-stable material can also improve the wettability of the hole transport layer 13. When the solar cell is a trans structure, it is conducive to the coating preparation of large-area perovskites; specifically, the light-stable material contains at least one of the heteroatoms S, O, and N (the specific composition of the light-stable material can be found in the subsequent introduction), and has no directional arrangement tendency, thereby achieving improved wettability.
[0053] Whether the passivation layer 16 is designed to include a self-assembly material and a light-stable material, or the hole transport layer 13 is designed to include a self-assembly material and a light-stable material, the specific composition and proportion of the self-assembly material and the light-stable material are designed as follows.
[0054] In one embodiment, the molar proportion of the photostabilizing material in the mixture of the self-assembly material and the photostabilizing material is 1%-10%, which can achieve a good photostabilization effect on the self-assembly material and has little interference with hole transport.
[0055] In one embodiment, the self-assembling material includes C-N bonds; the photostabilizing material includes at least one of a UV absorber and a free radical scavenger. A UV absorber is a substance that absorbs the ultraviolet portion of sunlight and fluorescent light sources, slowing the photooxidation process without changing itself. A free radical scavenger is a substance that attenuates photooxidative degradation reactions by various means, including capturing free radicals, decomposing hydroperoxides, and transferring energy from excited molecules.
[0056] When self-assembled materials include CN bonds, they are very susceptible to cleavage under ultraviolet light (sunlight contains a certain amount of UV light), forming carbazole free radicals. This alters the structure of the self-assembled molecules, weakens the passivation effect of the self-assembled molecules, and destabilizes the interface between the perovskite and the hole transport layer, potentially affecting the performance and service life of the device. Ultraviolet absorbers can absorb large amounts of UV light, reducing the amount of UV light received by the self-assembled molecules. Free radical scavengers can significantly reduce the degradation of photopolymers; free radical scavengers also have the function of quenching singlet oxygen, causing it to transition from an excited state to a ground state, intervening in the photochemical reaction before the chain initiation of photoaging. Ultraviolet absorbers and / or free radical scavengers reduce the CN bond cleavage reaction of self-assembled molecules caused by UV light at the source, improving the UV resistance of the self-assembled materials, and thus improving the photovoltaic performance and long-term photostability of solar cells. In addition, the molecular structures of UV absorbers and free radical scavengers are similar to those of common additive materials in solar cells. Mixing UV absorbers and / or free radical scavengers in self-assembled materials has almost no negative impact on perovskite solar cells.
[0057] Optionally, the UV absorber includes at least one of benzophenones, benzotriazoles, triazines, and salicylates, which can absorb a large amount of UV light, reduce the amount of UV light received by the self-assembled molecules, reduce the CN bond scission reaction of the self-assembled molecules caused by UV light from the source, improve the UV resistance of the self-assembled material, and thus improve the photoelectric performance and long-term light stability of the solar cell. Among them, benzophenones can specifically be 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-octyloxybenzophenone, etc. Benzotriazoles can specifically be 2-(2'-hydroxy-5'-methylphenyl)benzotriazole, 2'-(2'-hydroxy-3'-tert-butyl-5'-methylphenyl)-5-chlorobenzotriazole, 2-(2-hydroxy-3',5'-dicumylphenyl)-benzotriazole, etc. Specific examples of triazines include 2-[4,6-bis(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl]-5-[3-[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]-2-hydroxypropoxyphenol and 2-(4,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-5-hexyloxyphenol. Specific examples of salicylates include butyloctanol salicylate and 2-ethylhexyl salicylate.
[0058] Exemplarily, the UV absorber includes benzophenone, and the structural formula of benzophenone is as follows:
[0059]
[0060] It should be noted that when the ultraviolet absorber includes at least one of benzotriazoles and triazines, the heteroatom N in the molecular structure of benzotriazoles and / or triazines can complex with the coordinated lead ions in the perovskite, passivate deep energy level defects, and improve device performance.
[0061] Optionally, the UV absorber includes (butylamine)[2,2'-thiobis(4-tert-octylphenol)]nickel(II), and the heteroatom S in the molecular structure can complex with the coordinated lead ions in the perovskite to passivate deep energy level defects and improve device performance.
[0062] Optionally, the free radical scavenger includes a hindered amine derivative, which has the function of quenching singlet oxygen, causing it to transition from an excited state to a ground state, intervening in the photochemical reaction before the chain initiation of light aging, reducing the CN bond scission reaction of the self-assembled molecules caused by ultraviolet light from the source, improving the UV resistance of the self-assembled material, and thus improving the photoelectric performance and long-term light stability of the solar cell. Exemplary hindered amine derivatives include but are not limited to tris (1,2,2,6,6-pentamethylpiperidinol) phosphite (light stabilizer GW-540, 95733-09-8), poly (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinol) ester (light stabilizer 622, 65447-77-0), 2,2-diphenyl-1-trinitrophenylhydrazine, tetramethylbenzoquinone, 2-methyl-2-nitrosomethane, phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone, dibutylhydroxytoluene, 1,1-diphenylethylene. It should be noted that when the ultraviolet absorber includes at least one of light stabilizer GW-540, light stabilizer 622, 2,2-diphenyl-1-trinitrophenylhydrazine, 2-methyl-2-nitrosomethane, and phenyl-N-tert-butylnitrone, the heteroatom N in the molecular structure can complex with the coordinated lead ions in the perovskite, passivate deep energy level defects, and improve device performance.
[0063] The molecular formula of light stabilizer GW-540 is as follows:
