Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a perovskite battery, photovoltaic module, photovoltaic system, electrical device, and power generation device. Background Technology
[0002] Perovskite solar cells have many advantages, such as excellent photoelectric properties, high light absorption coefficient, long carrier lifetime and long diffusion length, and have become a key research direction for next-generation photovoltaic technology.
[0003] However, the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of solar cells made from traditional perovskite material layers and hole transport layer materials are very limited, which reduces their lifetime and makes it difficult for traditional perovskite solar cells to meet increasingly demanding application requirements.
[0004] Therefore, traditional technologies still need improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a perovskite cell, photovoltaic module, photovoltaic system, electrical device, and power generation device, aiming to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite cell.
[0006] This application is achieved through the following technical solution.
[0007] A first aspect of this application provides a perovskite solar cell, the perovskite solar cell comprising a hole transport layer, a passivation layer and a perovskite material layer stacked together; the passivation layer contains an ammonium salt compound;
[0008] In the ammonium salt compound, the anionic group includes a group formed by the loss of hydrogen from at least one hydroxyl group of at least one oxyacid group in the compound of formula (1), and the cationic group includes a group formed by the gain of hydrogen from an amino group in the compound of formula (2).
[0009] , ;
[0010] Wherein, L1 is selected from any one of alkyl groups substituted with at least one oxyacid group and oxyacid groups, and each R1 and each R2 is independently selected from any one of H, alkyl, alkoxy, aryl groups with 6 to 13 substituted or unsubstituted cyclic atoms, and heteroaryl groups with 5 to 10 substituted or unsubstituted cyclic atoms.
[0011] Ar1 is selected from substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups with 6 to 14 cyclic atoms, and L2 is selected from alkylene groups with 1 to 3 carbon atoms;
[0012] n1 and n2 are each independently selected from any integer from 0 to 4.
[0013] In the above perovskite solar cell, an ammonium salt compound with a specific structure is set in the passivation layer between the hole transport layer and the perovskite. Among the ammonium salt compounds, the anionic group formed by the compound of formula (1) contains a carbazole structure, which itself has hole transport capability. However, the presence of the carbazole group makes the compound prone to forming self-assembled micelles during film formation, which is not conducive to film spreading. After synergistic effect with the cation formed by the compound of formula (2), -NH3 + The presence of the functional groups can disrupt the self-assembly morphology, allowing the ammonium salt compound to be better dispersed during film formation, forming a more uniform film layer. It also reduces the probability of side reactions between the hole transport layer and the perovskite material layer, and can regulate the energy band and improve charge extraction capability. Simultaneously, the cationic group formed by the compound in formula (2) contains a specific aromatic group structure, which can conjugate with the carbazole group in the anionic group, further improving the carrier extraction capability and / or carrier transport capability at the interface. Thus, while reducing the energy level difference between the hole transport layer and the perovskite material layer, it also reduces side reactions between them, improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite battery, thereby increasing its lifetime.
[0014] It can be understood that a molecule of compound (1) contains one or more oxyacid groups. When it contains multiple oxyacid groups, at least one hydroxyl group in at least one oxyacid group loses hydrogen. When M hydroxyl groups in multiple oxyacid groups in a molecule of compound (1) lose hydrogen (M is an integer greater than or equal to 2), then M molecules of compound (2) will each gain one hydrogen, forming M cation groups, which will form a salt with the anion formed by a molecule of compound (1). In other words, in a molecule of ammonium salt compound, the sum of the valence states of the anion formed by compound (1) and the cation formed by compound (2) is 0, that is, the ammonium salt compound is electrically neutral.
[0015] In some embodiments, Ar1 is selected from an aromatic group having 6 to 14 cyclic atoms or an aromatic group having 6 to 14 cyclic atoms substituted by a substituent, the substituent including any one of F, hydroxyl, alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms substituted by a fluorine atom, alkoxy having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and alkoxy having 1 to 3 carbon atoms substituted by a fluorine atom.
[0016] By regulating the structure of Ar1 to contain aromatic groups, it can be made to have strong aromaticity, that is, it can generate a strong conjugation effect with the carbazole group in the anionic group, while reducing steric hindrance and improving film quality.
[0017] In some embodiments, the structure of Ar1 is as follows:
[0018] ,
[0019] Each R3 is independently selected from any one of H, F, hydroxyl, alkyl with 1 to 3 carbon atoms, alkyl with 1 to 3 carbon atoms substituted by fluorine atoms, alkoxy with 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and alkoxy with 1 to 3 carbon atoms substituted by fluorine atoms. n3 is selected from any integer from 0 to 5. * represents the linkage site.
[0020] It should be noted that: In the case where n3 is selected from 0, it indicates that there are no substituents on the benzene ring, and the structure is phenyl.
[0021] In some embodiments, the ammonium salt compound satisfies one or both of the following conditions (1) to (2):
[0022] (1) L1 is selected from alkyl groups having 1 to 5 carbon atoms substituted by at least one oxyacid group;
[0023] (2) Each R1 and each R2 are independently selected from: H, alkyl with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, alkoxy with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and aryl with 6 to 10 cyclic atoms.
[0024] In some embodiments, the ammonium salt compound includes the compound shown in formula (I):
[0025] ;
[0026] Among them, L 11 Selected from alkylene groups having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, A - It is a group formed by losing a hydrogen atom from a hydroxyl group in the oxyacid group.
[0027] In some embodiments, the oxyacid group is selected from any one of phosphonic acid groups, hypophosphite groups, sulfonic acid groups, carboxylic acid groups, boric acid groups, or silicate groups.
[0028] In some embodiments, the ammonium salt compound includes at least one of the following (a) to (e):
[0029]
[0030]
[0031] ;
[0032] L 11 R3 is selected from alkylene groups having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and R3 is selected from any one of H, F, hydroxyl, alkyl groups having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and alkyl groups having 1 to 3 carbon atoms that have been replaced by fluorine atoms.
[0033] Optionally, R3 is selected from F, hydroxyl group, or alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms substituted with fluorine atoms.
[0034] Introducing electronegative substituents such as hydroxyl, fluorine atom, or fluorine-containing alkyl groups into the cationic groups of ammonium salt compounds can further regulate the energy band at the interface and improve the interfacial carrier transport performance. Moreover, compared with introducing fluorine atom or hydroxyl group into the anionic group formed in compound (1), introducing fluorine atom or hydroxyl group into the hydrophilic cationic part formed in compound (2) is more conducive to improving the wettability of the perovskite material precursor liquid on the film layer, thereby improving the film quality of the formed perovskite material layer and thus improving the stability of the battery.
[0035] In some embodiments, the compound of formula (1) includes [4-(3,6-dimethoxy-9H-carbazole-9-yl)butyl]phosphonic acid, [2-(3,6-dimethoxy-9H-carbazole-9-yl)ethylphosphonic acid, [3-(3,6-dimethoxy-9H-carbazole-9-yl)propyl]phosphonic acid, [4-(3,6-dimethoxy-9H-carbazole-9-yl)butyl]carboxylic ... One or more of [-methyl]butyl]sulfonic acid; the compound of formula (2) includes one or more of m-fluoroanisidine, p-fluoroanisidine, o-fluoroanisidine, m-fluorophenylethylamine, p-fluorophenylethylamine, o-fluorophenylethylamine, m-fluorophenylpropanol, p-fluorophenylpropanol, o-fluorophenylpropanol, m-trifluoromethylphenylethylamine, p-trifluoromethylphenylethylamine, o-trifluoromethylphenylethylamine, p-methylphenylethylamine, m-methylphenylethylamine, o-methylphenylethylamine, p-hydroxyphenylethylamine, m-hydroxyphenylethylamine, and o-hydroxyphenylethylamine.
[0036] The ammonium salt compounds formed by the compounds of formula (1) and formula (2) can be better dispersed during the film formation process, forming a more uniform film layer, which plays a role in adjusting the energy band and improving the charge extraction capability. In addition, it can reduce the side reactions between the hole transport layer and the perovskite material layer while reducing the energy level difference between the hole transport layer and the perovskite material layer, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite battery and thus improving the lifespan of the perovskite battery.
[0037] In some embodiments, the hole transport layer includes at least one of inorganic hole transport materials and organic hole transport materials.
[0038] In some embodiments, the hole transport layer comprises nickel oxide.
[0039] In this application, the oxyacid groups are formed into ammonium salts, and the structure of the cation moiety is controlled. When modifying a hole transport layer containing nickel oxide, it is able to block high-valence nickel ions (Ni). 3+ Ni 4+(etc.) undergo side reactions with perovskite, which improves the film-forming ability of ammonium salt compounds, reduces the energy level difference between them and the perovskite material layer, and further improves the carrier extraction and / or carrier transport capabilities at the interface, effectively improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells.
[0040] In some embodiments, the passivation layer satisfies one or both of the following conditions (1) and (2):
[0041] (1) One side of the passivation layer is in direct contact with the perovskite material layer, and the other side is in direct contact with the hole transport layer;
[0042] (2) The thickness of the passivation layer is 0.1 nm to 5 nm.
[0043] In some embodiments, the perovskite solar cell further includes an electron transport layer, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The first electrode is disposed on the side of the hole transport layer away from the perovskite material layer, and the second electrode is disposed on the side of the perovskite material layer away from the hole transport layer. The electron transport layer is disposed between the second electrode and the perovskite material layer.
[0044] An electron transport layer can enhance the efficiency of electron extraction and transport, thereby further improving the conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells.
[0045] In some embodiments, the perovskite solar cell further includes a hole-blocking layer disposed between the electron transport layer and the second electrode.
[0046] Hole blocking layers can block holes from passing through, significantly improving the electron collection rate at the interface, thereby reducing the probability of electrons and holes recombinating at the interface.
[0047] In some embodiments, the perovskite solar cell satisfies one or more of the following conditions:
[0048] (1) The thickness of the hole transport layer is 20nm~100nm;
[0049] (2) The thickness of the perovskite material layer is 500 nm to 800 nm;
[0050] (3) The thickness of the electron transport layer is 20nm~30nm;

[0057] A fifth aspect of this application provides an electrical device, including a perovskite cell of the first aspect or a photovoltaic module of the third aspect.
[0058] A sixth aspect of this application provides a power generation device, including a perovskite cell of the first aspect or a photovoltaic module of the third aspect. Attached Figure Description

They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application.
[0070] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, technical terms such as "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0072] "Aromatic" refers to an aromatic hydrocarbon group, including monocyclic aryl and fused-ring aryl groups. A fused-ring aryl group is a group formed by two or more monoaromatic rings connected by two shared adjacent ring atoms, i.e., a fused ring. Furthermore, the π electrons of an aromatic group should satisfy 4n+2 (Hückel's rule).

[0075] In this application, "substituted or unsubstituted" means that the defined group may or may not be substituted. When the defined group is substituted, it should be understood that it may be substituted by a group acceptable in the art, including but not limited to: any one or more combinations of C1-10 alkyl groups and halogens; when there are multiple combinations, they may be linked by forming a single bond; at the same time, if the defined group is substituted by a substituent, for example, an alkyl group with 1 to 5 carbon atoms substituted by at least one oxyacid group, wherein the number of carbon atoms does not include the carbon atoms in the substituent.
[0076] In this application, when no linking site is specified in the group, it means that any linkable site in the group is selected as the linking site.
[0077] In this application, the single bonds connecting the substituents extend through the corresponding ring, indicating that the substituent can be attached to any position on the ring, for example... In this context, the linking site of the substituent R3 to the benzene ring can be any substituted site on the benzene ring; furthermore, when the same substituent R3 appears multiple times on the same group (i.e., n3 is greater than or equal to 2), it can be independently selected from different groups, for example... In this system, the benzene ring has 5 substitutable sites, meaning n3 can be 5. Each R3 can be the same or different. When R3 is H, it means there are no substituents, and this is the case for a phenyl group.
[0078] Unless otherwise specified in this application, the preparation steps can be carried out at room temperature. "Room temperature" generally refers to 4℃~30℃, and more specifically 20±5℃.
[0079] The excessive energy level difference between the traditional perovskite material layer and the hole transport layer can lead to poor contact, or material instability and excessive defects, all of which reduce the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of solar cells, thus shortening their lifespan. This is especially true when nickel oxide is used as the hole transport material. Although nickel oxide is considered a semiconductor material with a wide bandgap and good conductivity, making it an ideal material for the hole transport layer and capable of efficiently transporting holes, the excessive energy level difference between the traditional perovskite material layer and nickel oxide, coupled with the unavoidable presence of high-valence nickel ions (Ni) in nickel oxide, further exacerbates the problem. 3+ Ni 4+ These substances can easily react with perovskite materials, accelerating the degradation of perovskite materials and thus greatly limiting the stability of perovskite solar cells.
[0080] In traditional techniques, organic self-assembled molecules with oxyacid groups are often used to modify the hole transport layer to modulate its energy levels. However, research has found that traditional organic self-assembled molecules with oxyacid groups have poor film-forming effects, limiting their ability to modulate energy bands and improve charge extraction capabilities. Traditional techniques focus on controlling the framework structure of the self-assembled molecules connected to the oxyacid groups in an attempt to improve their ability to modulate energy bands and improve charge extraction capabilities, but the improvement is limited.
[0081] Through extensive experimental research, the technical solution described in this application, which can improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells, has been obtained.
[0082] One embodiment of this application provides a perovskite solar cell, which includes a hole transport layer, a passivation layer and a perovskite material layer stacked together; the passivation layer contains an ammonium salt compound.
[0083] In ammonium salt compounds, the anionic group includes the group formed after at least one hydroxyl group in at least one oxyacid group of the compound of formula (1) loses hydrogen, and the cationic group includes the group formed after the amino group in the compound of formula (2) gains a hydrogen atom:
[0084] , ;
[0085] Wherein, L1 is selected from any one of alkyl groups substituted with at least one oxyacid group and oxyacid groups, and each R1 and each R2 is independently selected from any one of H, alkyl, alkoxy, aryl groups with 6 to 13 substituted or unsubstituted cyclic atoms, and heteroaryl groups with 5 to 10 substituted or unsubstituted cyclic atoms.
[0086] Ar1 is selected from substituted or unsubstituted aryl groups with 6 to 14 cyclic atoms, and L2 is selected from alkylene groups with 1 to 3 carbon atoms;
[0087] n1 and n2 are each independently selected from any integer from 0 to 4.
[0088] In the above perovskite solar cell, an ammonium salt compound with a specific structure is set in the passivation layer between the hole transport layer and the perovskite. Among the ammonium salt compounds, the anionic group formed by the compound of formula (1) contains a carbazole structure, which itself has hole transport capability. However, the presence of the carbazole group makes the compound prone to forming self-assembled micelles during film formation, which is not conducive to film spreading. After synergistic effect with the cation formed by the compound of formula (2), -NH3 + The presence of the functional groups can disrupt the self-assembly morphology, allowing the ammonium salt compound to be better dispersed during film formation, forming a more uniform film layer. It also reduces the probability of side reactions between the hole transport layer and the perovskite material layer, and can regulate the energy band and improve charge extraction capability. Simultaneously, the cationic group formed by the compound in formula (2) contains a specific aromatic group structure, which can conjugate with the carbazole group in the anionic group, further improving the carrier extraction capability and / or carrier transport capability at the interface. Thus, while reducing the energy level difference between the hole transport layer and the perovskite material layer, it also reduces side reactions between them, improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite battery, thereby increasing its lifetime.
[0089] It can be understood that a molecule of compound (1) contains one or more oxyacid groups. When it contains multiple oxyacid groups, at least one hydroxyl group in at least one oxyacid group loses hydrogen. When M hydroxyl groups in multiple oxyacid groups in a molecule of compound (1) lose hydrogen (M is an integer greater than or equal to 2), then M molecules of compound (2) will each gain one hydrogen, forming M cation groups, which will form a salt with the anion formed by a molecule of compound (1). In other words, in a molecule of ammonium salt compound, the sum of the valence states of the anion formed by compound (1) and the cation formed by compound (2) is 0, that is, the ammonium salt compound is electrically neutral.
[0090] In some embodiments, Ar1 is selected from an aromatic group having 6 to 14 cyclic atoms or an aromatic group having 6 to 14 cyclic atoms substituted by a substituent, the substituent including any one of F, hydroxyl, alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms substituted by a fluorine atom, alkoxy having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and alkoxy having 1 to 3 carbon atoms substituted by a fluorine atom.
[0091] By regulating the structure of Ar1 to contain aromatic groups, it can be made to have strong aromaticity, that is, it can generate a strong conjugation effect with the carbazole group in the anionic group, while reducing steric hindrance and improving film quality.
[0092] In some embodiments, the substituents include any one of F, hydroxyl, methyl, monofluoromethyl, difluoromethyl, trifluoromethyl, ethyl, propyl, methoxy, ethoxy, and propoxy.

[0126] Introducing electronegative substituents such as hydroxyl, fluorine atom, or fluorine-containing alkyl groups into the cationic groups of ammonium salt compounds can further regulate the energy band at the interface and improve the interfacial carrier transport performance. Moreover, compared with introducing fluorine atom or hydroxyl group into the anionic group formed in compound (1), introducing fluorine atom or hydroxyl group into the hydrophilic cationic part formed in compound (2) is more conducive to improving the wettability of the perovskite material precursor liquid on the film layer, thereby improving the film quality of the formed perovskite material layer and thus improving the stability of the battery.
[0127] In some embodiments, the hole transport layer includes at least one of inorganic hole transport materials and organic hole transport materials.
[0128] The aforementioned inorganic hole transport materials and organic hole transport materials can be various hole transport materials commonly used in the field, including but not limited to at least one of the following materials and their derivatives: nickel oxide, zinc oxide, molybdenum oxide, 2,2',7,7'-tetratetra(N,N-p-methoxyaniline)-9,9'-spirodifluorene (Spiro-OMeTAD), and at least one of poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine].
[0129] In some embodiments, the hole transport layer comprises nickel oxide.
[0130] In this application, the oxyacid groups are formed into ammonium salts, and the structure of the cation moiety is controlled. When modifying a hole transport layer containing nickel oxide, it is able to block high-valence nickel ions (Ni). 3+ Ni 4+(etc.) undergo side reactions with perovskite, which improves the film-forming ability of ammonium salt compounds, reduces the energy level difference between them and the perovskite material layer, and further improves the carrier extraction and / or carrier transport capabilities at the interface, effectively improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells.

[0135] Understandably, during the preparation process, the types of ammonium salt compounds in the passivation layer can be inferred from the raw materials used in the preparation, and can also be detected by reverse analysis of the passivation layer in the molded battery product:
[0136] By disassembling the battery to expose the passivation layer, and then characterizing the passivation layer interface using SEM-EDS, the presence of specific elements (such as phosphorus, sulfur, boron, etc.) in the oxyacid functional groups can be detected. FTIR infrared spectroscopy can then be used to determine the types of functional groups (R1, R2, etc.) of the substituents. Simultaneously, by dissolving the passivation layer and using NMR to obtain the proton NMR spectrum, the structure of the ammonium salt compound's hydrocarbon skeleton and the linking groups (L2, L...) can be analyzed and determined. 11 By determining the carbon chain length of the ammonium salt compound and the area integral value of the characteristic peaks in the proton spectrum, the molar ratio of each characteristic functional group can be further analyzed, and the structure of the substance contained in the passivation layer can be obtained by combining these results.

[0202] (1) The specific steps for the preparation of perovskite solar cells are as follows:
[0203] 1. Expose the FTO conductive glass to the glass substrate, then wash it sequentially with surfactant, deionized water, and ethanol. After drying the solvent with a nitrogen gun, irradiate it in an ultraviolet ozone generator for later use.
[0204] 2. A nickel oxide nanoparticle solution with a concentration of 10 mg / mL was spin-coated onto an FTO glass substrate using a spin coater, and then annealed on a hot plate at 150°C for 15 min to form a hole transport layer with a thickness of 60 nm.
[0205] 3. The compound (MeO-4PACz) of formula (1) and the compound m-fluorobenzylamine (mF-PEAI) of formula (2) were weighed in a glass bottle at a mass ratio of 1:1. Isopropanol solvent was added to prepare a solution with a concentration of 1 mg / mL. After thorough stirring and dissolution, the solution was filtered to obtain a clear solution. Then, the clear solution was spin-coated on the surface of the hole transport layer in a nitrogen atmosphere. The solution was then annealed at 100°C for 10 min to form a passivation layer with an average thickness of about 1 nm.
[0206] 4.

Add it to a mixed solvent of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in a volume ratio of 4:1. After thorough stirring and dissolution, filter the solution to prepare a precursor solution with a molar concentration of 1.8 mol / L. Then, spread the perovskite precursor solution onto the surface of the passivation layer by static spin coating. After rinsing the film with the anti-solvent anisole, anneal it at 110°C for 20 min on a hot plate to form a perovskite material layer with a thickness of 700 nm.
[0207] 5. Using vapor deposition equipment, a 25nm thick electron transport layer (C) is sequentially deposited on the surface of the titanium dioxide material layer. 60 A 5 nm thick hole-blocking layer (tin oxide) was obtained by atomic deposition, and a 100 nm thick metal electrode layer (Cu) was obtained by vacuum evaporation, thus obtaining a perovskite solar cell.
[0208] The thickness of each of the above functional layers can be tested using any one of white light interferometer, profilometer, or optical / electrical microscope. The thickness of the passivation layer is tested using an electrical microscope, and samples are taken from multiple locations of the passivation layer to obtain the average value.
[0209] (2) Performance testing, as detailed below:
[0210] The newly prepared perovskite solar cell was subjected to photoelectric conversion efficiency testing to obtain its initial photoelectric conversion efficiency PCE(0). Then, it was placed in an unsealed nitrogen environment and heated at 85°C in the dark for 1000 hours. Its photoelectric conversion efficiency PCE(1000) was then tested again. The efficiency retention rate Y was calculated according to the following formula:
[0211] Y = PCE(1000) / PCE(0) × 100%
[0212] The specific steps for testing photoelectric conversion efficiency are as follows:
[0213] Place the test fixture containing the perovskite solar cell on the sample holder, ensuring it is within the measurement plane and that the cell is located at the center of the solar simulator's emitted light spot (or that the photovoltaic cell normal is parallel to the center line of the emitted beam from the solar simulator's light source).

[0239] Note that " / " indicates that the structure or substance does not exist.
[0240] Among them, "MeO-4PACz" is [4-(3,6-dimethoxy-9H-carbazole-9-yl)butyl]phosphonic acid, "MeO-2PACz" is [2-(3,6-dimethoxy-9H-carbazole-9-yl)ethylphosphonic acid, "MeO-3PACz" is [3-(3,6-dimethoxy-9H-carbazole-9-yl)propyl]phosphonic acid, "MeO-4SACz" is [4-(3,6-dimethoxy-9H-carbazole-9-yl)butyl]sulfonic acid, and "Me "O-4CACz" represents [4-(3,6-dimethoxy-9H-carbazole-9-yl)butyl]carboxylic acid, "mF-PEAI" represents m-fluoroanisidine, "pF-PEAI" represents p-fluoroanisidine, "PEAI" represents phenylethylamine, "mCF-PEAI" represents m-trifluoromethylphenylethylamine, "pMe-PEAI" represents p-methylphenylethylamine, "pOH-PEAI" represents p-hydroxyphenylethylamine, "ThEAI" represents 2-thiophene ethylamine iodine, and "ThMAI" represents 2-thiophene methylamine iodine.
[0241] Comparative analysis of the test results of Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-6 in the table above shows that: when using the ammonium salt compound with the specific structure of this application to prepare perovskite solar cells, it can effectively improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of perovskite while also improving its stability; and when used as a passivation layer material, even if nickel oxide is used as the hole transport layer material, it can effectively improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell. Furthermore, as shown in Examples 1-3 and 4, further control of the types of substituents on the ring structure of the anionic group in the ammonium salt compound can further improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell.
[0242] Further comparative analysis of the data from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 3-4 shows that the use of the compound of formula (2) containing an aromatic group structure to form the cationic moiety in this application can improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell. However, when the cationic moiety in Comparative Examples 3-4 was formed by a general heteroaryl group, no such effect was observed. The reason for this phenomenon may be related to the strength of the aromaticity of the group. The aromaticity of an organic structure is related to the number of π electrons in its conjugated system. The stronger the aromaticity, the more π electrons it contains in its conjugated system, and the greater the conjugation effect. Compared with heteroaryl groups, the aromatic group structure in the cationic group formed by the compound of formula (2) contains more π electrons in its conjugated system, and the stronger the conjugation effect with the carbazole group in the anionic group, thereby further improving the carrier extraction capacity and / or carrier transport capacity of the interface.

However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application.
