Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of new energy technology, and in particular to an IWO composite layer and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Indium tungsten oxide (IWO) is a novel transparent conductive material widely used in transparent conductive films and transparent electronic devices due to its excellent transparency and conductivity. IWO is a metal oxide material composed of indium (In), tungsten (W), and oxygen (O). Its application in perovskite solar cells is primarily as a buffer layer, inserted between the electron transport layer and the electrode. This buffer layer not only reduces damage to the electron transport layer during electrode deposition but also effectively blocks water and oxygen in the air, thereby preventing degradation of the perovskite layer and improving the stability and lifespan of the cell. Although IWO exhibits significant advantages in transparency and conductivity and is considered a potential alternative to traditional tin oxide (SnO2) buffer layers, its practical application still faces numerous challenges. First, the complex preparation process and high cost of IWO materials limit their large-scale production and commercial application. Second, while IWO can theoretically improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells, its performance in actual cells still requires further experimental research to verify and optimize. In addition, the existing technology has not yet achieved an IWO buffer layer film with high mobility and high transmittance that can adapt to single-junction perovskite solar cells and significantly improve their efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention introduces a stacked SnO2 seed layer and an IWO layer. The SnO2 seed layer provides uniform nucleation sites for the growth of the IWO layer, promoting uniform growth of the IWO film and effectively reducing defects and pores in the film. The stacked arrangement of the first and second IWO sublayers optimizes the energy level matching between the buffer layer and the perovskite layer, improving carrier extraction efficiency.
[0004] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the IWO composite layer.
[0005] The present invention also provides a perovskite solar cell.
[0006] The present invention also provides applications of the perovskite solar cell.
[0007] According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an IWO composite layer, the IWO composite layer comprising a SnO2 seed layer and an IWO layer stacked together;
[0008] The IWO layer consists of a first IWO sub-layer and a second IWO sub-layer;
[0009] The first IWO sub-layer and the second IWO sub-layer are stacked.
[0010] According to the first aspect of the present invention, there are at least the following beneficial effects:
[0011] The SnO2 seed layer provides uniform nucleation sites for the growth of the IWO layer, promoting uniform growth of the IWO film and effectively reducing defects and pores in the film. Simultaneously, the interface between the SnO2 seed layer and the IWO layer is more tightly bonded, significantly reducing interface defects and carrier recombination losses. Furthermore, the stacking of the SnO2 seed layer and the IWO layer further optimizes the energy level matching between the buffer layer and the perovskite layer, significantly improving carrier extraction efficiency. The first IWO sublayer provides uniform nucleation sites for the growth of the second IWO sublayer, promoting uniform growth of the film and reducing defects and pores. The stacking of the first and second IWO sublayers optimizes the energy level matching between the buffer layer and the perovskite layer, improving carrier extraction efficiency. The aforementioned thickness promotes uniform film growth, reduces defects and pores, while optimizing the energy level matching between the layers and improving carrier extraction efficiency.
[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the first IWO sub-layer is 5-15 nm; the thickness of the second IWO sub-layer is 10-20 nm.
[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in the IWO layer, the first IWO sub-layer and the second IWO sub-layer are stacked and arranged for at least one cycle.
[0014] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method for preparing an IWO composite layer is provided, the method comprising:
[0015] A1. Cyclic deposition of SnO2 seed layer in an atomic layer deposition apparatus;
[0016] A2. Obtaining an IWO layer by coating the SnO2 seed layer;
[0017] In the IWO layer, the first IWO sublayer is obtained by oxygen-free deposition, and the second IWO sublayer is obtained by oxygen-containing deposition.
[0018] The introduction of a SnO2 seed layer and the alternating anaerobic and oxygen-free preparation method in the present invention can significantly promote the uniform growth of the IWO film, making the film denser. The improved film density increases the stress of the film layer. The mechanism mainly includes the reduction of defects and pores, the optimization of interface bonding, and the enhancement of the close arrangement of crystals. Under the combined action of these factors, the mechanical stability and photoelectric performance of the film are optimized, thereby significantly improving the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells.
[0019] The alternating deposition of oxygen-free and oxygen-containing deposition to prepare the IWO layer, on the one hand, forms a smooth energy level gradient, reducing the potential barrier and recombination loss of carriers at the interface; on the other hand, the alternating deposition of oxygen-free and oxygen-containing deposition promotes the uniform growth of the IWO film and reduces defects and pores. Specifically, the crystal structure of the IWO film layer generated by oxygen-free deposition is more compact, while oxygen-containing deposition further fills the defects and pores that may form under oxygen-free conditions, optimizing the carrier transmission path; on the other hand, it also optimizes the interface bonding between the IWO film layer and the SnO2 seed layer, reducing interface defects and carrier recombination. Specifically, the SnO2 seed layer provides uniform nucleation sites for the growth of the IWO film, promoting the uniform growth of the film. The alternating deposition of oxygen-free and oxygen-containing deposition optimizes the interface bonding between the IWO film layer and the seed layer, reducing interface defects and carrier recombination.
[0020] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the temperature of the cyclic deposition is 70-80°C.
[0021] At the above-mentioned cyclic deposition temperature, precise control at the atomic level can be achieved to generate a uniform and dense SnO2 seed layer, reducing defects and pores in the film. At the same time, the energy level position of the SnO2 seed layer can be precisely regulated, providing a good energy level matching foundation for the subsequent growth of the IWO film and maintaining energy level stability.

When the deposition chamber pressure reaches 4-5×10 -3After the temperature drops below 100 Torr, the temperature is raised to 70-80°C. A tin precursor source is introduced into the reaction chamber along with a nitrogen pulse at a nitrogen flow rate of 5-15 sccm. The tin precursor source is exposed for 0.12-0.15 seconds, and the flushing time is 5-15 seconds. The oxygen precursor source is exposed for 0.01-0.03 seconds, and the flushing time is 5-15 seconds. After the oxygen precursor source reacts with the tin precursor source, a flushing gas is introduced to purge excess oxygen precursor source and reaction byproducts. The flushing gas is nitrogen at a flow rate of 5-15 sccm. The above is one cycle. After 10-15 cycles, the ALD-SnO2 seed layer is obtained.

[0028] c. The gun current of plasma deposition is 120~165A.
[0029] Under these conditions, a stable plasma environment can be maintained, promoting uniform deposition of thin films, reducing defects and pores, maintaining the smoothness and chemical stability of the interface, and stabilizing energy levels. At the same time, collisions between gas molecules can be reduced, improving the density and uniformity of the film and reducing interfacial reactions.
[0030] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the aerobic deposition method includes: a plasma deposition method under aerobic conditions.
[0031] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the plasma deposition under aerobic conditions is performed in a plasma deposition coating device, and the plasma deposition method under aerobic conditions satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0033] b. The gun current of plasma deposition is 120~180A.
[0034] Under these conditions, a stable plasma environment can be maintained, promoting uniform deposition of thin films, reducing defects and pores, maintaining the smoothness and chemical stability of the interface, and stabilizing energy levels. At the same time, collisions between gas molecules can be reduced, improving the density and uniformity of the film and reducing interfacial reactions.

[0108] Test Example 1
[0109] This example tests the performance of the perovskite solar cells obtained in the examples and comparative examples. The specific testing method is as follows:
[0110] Sheet resistance test: Sample preparation: Secure the sample on the test platform to ensure the surface is flat. Calibrate the four-probe tester using a standard sample (known sheet resistance value). Gently touch the four probes to the sample surface to ensure good contact between the probes and the sample. Apply a constant current (usually 1-10mA) and measure the voltage drop between the probes. Calculate the sheet resistance according to the formula: Rs = (π / ln2)·(V / I)·k, where Rs is the sheet resistance, V is the voltage drop, I is the current, and k is the correction factor. Measure at least five different locations on each sample and take the average value as the final result.
[0111] Carrier concentration test:
[0112] Test instrument: Hall Effect Measurement System, test method:
[0113] Make four ohmic contact points on the sample surface (usually using gold or silver paste) to form a Hall test structure to ensure that the contact point resistance is low and stable. The test steps are as follows: place the sample in a magnetic field (usually 0.1-1T), apply a constant current (usually 1-10mA), and measure the Hall voltage V H The carrier concentration is calculated according to the formula: n = (I·B) / (q·t·VH) where n is the carrier concentration, I is the current, B is the magnetic field strength, q is the electron charge (1.6×10-19C), t is the film thickness, and V H = is the Hall voltage. Data recording: Each sample was measured at least 3 times and the average value was taken as the final result.
[0114] Transmittance (%) test:
[0115] Test instrument: UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. Test method: Sample preparation: Cut the sample into a size suitable for the test (usually 1cm×1cm), and ensure that the sample surface is clean, without scratches or contamination. Baseline calibration: Use air or a blank substrate (such as glass) as the baseline to calibrate the instrument. Test steps: Place the sample in the sample chamber, ensure that the light beam passes through the sample vertically, scan within the wavelength range (usually 300-800nm), and record the transmittance data. The transmittance calculation formula is: T (%) = (I / I0) × 100, where I is the light intensity passing through the sample, and I0 is the incident light intensity. Data recording: Calculate the average transmittance in the visible light range (400-700nm) as the final result.
[0116] Mobility (cm 2 / V·s) test:
[0117] Test Instrument: Hall Effect Measurement System. Test Method: As with the carrier concentration test, four ohmic contacts were made. Test Procedure: In the Hall Effect test, the Hall voltage VH and resistance R were measured. Mobility was calculated using the formula: μ = 1 / (q·n·Rs), where μ is mobility, q is electron charge, n is carrier concentration, and Rs is square resistance. Data Recording: Each sample was measured at least three times, and the average value was used as the final result. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0121] On the one hand, Examples 1 and 2 introduce an IWO composite layer and combine it with an anaerobic + aerobic alternating preparation method to precisely control the energy level position of the IWO film, making it more compatible with the energy level of the perovskite layer, thereby improving device efficiency, reducing carrier scattering at the interface, and reducing square resistance. Examples 1 and 2 introduce a seed layer to provide a uniform nucleation site for the growth of the IWO film, thereby promoting uniform growth of the film. By introducing the seed layer and the anaerobic + aerobic alternating preparation method, the IWO film layer is made denser, defects and pores are reduced, and the improved film quality reduces carrier scattering and recombination during transmission, improves carrier mobility, thereby reducing square resistance and improving device efficiency. Examples 1 and 2 also optimize the interface bonding between the IWO film layer and the seed layer through the anaerobic + aerobic alternating preparation method, thereby effectively transferring stress and reducing defects and lattice mismatch at the interface. Appropriate stress can enhance the crystal structure of the film and improve carrier transmission efficiency. In Examples 1 and 2, the IWO film layers achieved more uniform density and stress distribution, reducing carrier scattering at the interface. This interface optimization reduced carrier scattering and recombination at the interface, improving carrier transport efficiency and thus reducing square resistance and increasing device efficiency.
[0122] Test Example 2
[0123] The test instruments and test conditions used in the examples are as follows:
[0124] JV curve: First, using a standard silicon solar cell (2×2cm 2 , SRC-00019) calibrated to the standard solar spectrum corresponding to 1 sun (AM1.5G, 100mW / cm 2 ) corresponding to the current. The device was then placed under a calibrated test light source using a test fixture (performed in an N2 glove box). The JV characteristic curve of the perovskite semiconductor optoelectronic device was automatically measured using a Keithley 2450 source meter and corresponding software. The open-circuit voltage (VOC), short-circuit current density (JSC), fill factor (FF), and power conversion efficiency (PCE) were then obtained from the curve. The specific formula is as follows:
[0125] FF=Pmax / Voc×Jsc=Vmax×Jmax / Voc*Jsc, PCE=Pmax / Pin=Voc×Jsc×FF / Pin;
[0126] Where Pmax is the maximum output power, VOC and JSC are the voltage and current density at the maximum power point, respectively, and Pin is the incident light power.
[0127] During the JV curve test, the test voltage was set to 1.2V (start) to -0.2V (end), the interval was 0.02V, and the delay time was 0.1s.
[0128] The constant temperature and humidity test conditions are as follows: the temperature of the constant temperature and humidity test system is adjusted to 85°C and the humidity is 85% RH. After the first test, the test is performed again at intervals of 100 hours.
[0129] The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0132]
[0133] The Voc value distribution range in Example 1 was relatively narrow, mainly concentrated between 1.14 and 1.155, indicating that the Voc values of this group were relatively stable and had a high overall level. The Voc value distribution range in the RPD group was relatively wide, ranging from 1.135 to 1.155, indicating that the Voc values of this group fluctuated greatly and had poor stability. The Voc value distribution range in the ALD group was the widest, ranging from 1.13 to 1.15, with one obvious outlier (below 1.13), indicating that the Voc values of this group had the greatest fluctuation and the poorest stability.
[0134] The Jsc value distribution range is narrow, mainly concentrated in the range of 25.0~25.2mA / cm 2 The results show that the Jsc value of Example 1 is relatively stable and the overall level is high. Example 1 combines the advantages of ALD (atomic layer deposition) and RPD (reactive plasma deposition), which makes the film quality higher and the interface optimized better, thereby improving the stability of the Jsc value. Example 1 combines the advantages of ALD and RPD (reactive plasma deposition), ALD provides a uniform film substrate, and RPD further optimizes the conductivity and optical properties of the film.
