Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of perovskite solar cell technology, specifically relating to an epitaxial growth template, a tin-based perovskite thin film, and a tin-based perovskite solar cell. Background Technology
[0002] Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells have seen rapid development due to their excellent photoelectric properties. However, lead-related biotoxicity poses potential hazards to the environment and human health. As candidate materials, tin-based perovskites, with their lower toxicity, are the most promising due to their comparable excellent photoelectric properties to lead-based perovskites and more suitable optical band gaps.
[0003] However, with Pb 2+ Compared to the inert 6s electron pair, Sn 2+ The presence of two active 5s electrons gives tin-based perovskites a stronger Lewis acidity, resulting in a relatively rapid crystallization rate. This uncontrolled crystallization process leads to disordered crystal orientation and a significant increase in defect states. These defects serve as both charge recombination centers and degradation sites, severely hindering the improvement of efficiency and stability in tin-based perovskite solar cells.
[0004] Inspired by orientation modulation in lead-based perovskites, numerous additives have been used to mitigate orientation disorder caused by rapid crystallization. However, residual additives and intermediate phases can reduce phase purity, adversely affecting device performance, while the modulation capability and versatility of single additives are limited. Epitaxial growth in lead-based perovskites has proven to be an effective strategy for controlling thin film crystallization kinetics, producing highly oriented films with low defect density. However, traditional PEA2SnI4-based epitaxial growth strategies are not significantly effective in slowing down the crystallization rate and promoting dominant orientation.
[0005] Therefore, developing a simple epitaxial growth strategy suitable for fabricating tin-based perovskite solar cells and adjusting the crystallization of perovskite along preferred orientation to minimize the density of trapped states are key to improving the performance of tin-based perovskite solar cells. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the problems of rapid crystallization kinetics and disordered crystal orientation in tin-based perovskite thin films mentioned in the background art, the present invention aims to provide an epitaxial growth template, a tin-based perovskite thin film, and a tin-based perovskite solar cell. The present invention develops an epitaxial growth template, which is used as a two-dimensional template to induce three-dimensional epitaxial growth of perovskite. This effectively slows down the crystallization rate of tin-based perovskite and promotes its preferential growth along the (100) crystal plane, thereby minimizing the bulk defect state density and ensuring the formation of a uniform tin-based perovskite thin film over a large area. Ultimately, this improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of tin-based perovskite solar cells.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: On one hand, the present invention provides an epitaxial growth template, which is prepared by the following method:
[0008] Stannous iodide (SnI2), stannous fluoride (SnF2), an organic ammonium salt containing a conjugated aromatic ring, and tin (Sn) powder are dissolved in a solvent and then stirred for a period of time to obtain a precursor solution.
[0009] The precursor solution was uniformly coated and then annealed to obtain an epitaxial growth template.
[0010] Organic ammonium salts containing conjugated aromatic rings can form low-dimensional perovskites with stannous iodide. The enhanced π-conjugation of these organic ammonium salts leads to the ordered arrangement of the low-dimensional perovskites. The transformation from thermodynamically stable low-dimensional perovskites to three-dimensional perovskites slows down the crystal growth rate, thereby inducing the slow and orderly epitaxial growth of three-dimensional perovskites. Furthermore, organic ammonium salts containing conjugated aromatic rings can also induce perovskite orientation by lowering the crystal surface energy.
[0011] Furthermore, the organic ammonium salt containing a conjugated aromatic ring is selected from at least one of 2-(naphthyl-2-yl)ethylamine hydroiodide (NEAI), 1-naphthylmethylamine iodide, and 2-naphthylmethylamine iodide;
[0012] The solvent is selected from at least one of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
[0013] Further, the molar ratio of stannous iodide (SnI2), stannous fluoride (SnF2), the organic ammonium salt containing a conjugated aromatic ring, and tin powder is 1:(0.05~0.2):(0.01~0.1):(0.01~0.2);

[0017] The annealing temperature is 40℃~100℃, and the annealing time is 1min~10min.
[0018] Furthermore, the precursor solution needs to be filtered before use.
[0019] Furthermore, the purity of the organic ammonium salt containing a conjugated aromatic ring is above 97%.
[0020] On the other hand, the present invention provides a tin-based perovskite thin film, which is prepared by the following method:
[0021] Formamidin hydroiodide (FAI), ethylamine hydroiodide (EAI), and ethylenediamine dihydroiodate (EDAI2) were dissolved in a solvent to obtain a cationic solution;
[0022] The cationic solution is uniformly coated onto any of the epitaxial growth templates described above, and then annealed to obtain a tin-based perovskite film.
[0023] Further, the molar ratio of formamidin hydroiodide (FAI), ethylamine hydroiodide (EAI), and ethylenediamine dihydroiodate (EDAI2) is 1:(0.1-0.4):(0.01-0.05);

[0027] On the other hand, the present invention provides a tin-based perovskite solar cell, comprising a transparent conductive substrate, a hole transport layer, a perovskite light-absorbing layer, an electron transport layer, a hole blocking layer, and a cathode electrode stacked sequentially from bottom to top;
[0028] The perovskite light-absorbing layer is any of the tin-based perovskite thin films described above.
[0029] Furthermore, the transparent conductive substrate is selected from ITO conductive glass or FTO conductive glass;

[0031] The electron transport layer is made of at least one of fullerene (C60) and fullerene derivatives, wherein the fullerene derivative includes indanedione-C. 60 Biadduct (ICBA), [6,6]-phenyl-C 61 Isomethyl butyrate (PCBM);

[0035] Furthermore, this invention provides a method for preparing a tin-based perovskite solar cell, comprising the following steps:
[0036] (1) Pre-treatment of transparent conductive substrate;
[0037] (2) Coat the solution of the material used for the hole transport layer onto the pretreated transparent conductive substrate obtained in step (1), and then anneal it to obtain the hole transport layer.
[0038] (3) Dissolve stannous iodide (SnI2), stannous fluoride (SnF2), an organic ammonium salt containing a conjugated aromatic ring, and tin powder in a solvent, and then stir for a period of time to obtain a precursor solution; filter the precursor solution and uniformly coat it on the hole transport layer, and then anneal it to obtain an epitaxial growth template; dissolve formamidinium hydroiodate (FAI), ethylamine hydroiodate (EAI), and ethylenediamine dihydroiodate (EDAI2) in a solvent to obtain a cationic solution; uniformly coat the cationic solution on the epitaxial growth template, and then anneal it to obtain a tin-based perovskite film;
[0039] (4) Prepare a solution of the material used for the electron transport layer, coat the solution of the material used for the electron transport layer onto the tin-based perovskite film prepared in step (3), and then anneal it to obtain the electron transport layer;
[0040] (5) Prepare a solution of the material used for the hole blocking layer, and coat the solution of the material used for the hole blocking layer onto the electron transport layer prepared in step (4) to obtain the hole blocking layer;
[0041] (6) A cathode electrode was prepared on the hole blocking layer by vacuum evaporation to obtain a tin-based perovskite solar cell.
[0042] Further, the coating in step (2) is spin coating, the spin coating speed is 6000rpm~8000rpm, the spin coating time is 30s~60s; the annealing temperature is 130℃~150℃, and the annealing time is 10min~30min.
[0043] Further, the coating of the precursor solution in step (3) is spin coating, the spin coating speed is 5000 rpm to 7000 rpm, the spin coating time is 20 s to 40 s; the annealing temperature is 40 ℃ to 100 ℃, and the annealing time is 1 min to 10 min.
[0044] The coating of the cation solution in step (3) is spin coating, the spin coating speed is 5000 rpm to 7000 rpm, the spin coating time is 20 s to 40 s; the annealing temperature is 40 ℃ to 100 ℃, and the annealing time is 5 min to 20 min.
[0045] Further, the coating in step (4) is spin coating, the spin coating speed is 1000rpm~3000rpm, the spin coating time is 20s~40s, the annealing temperature is 40℃~100℃, and the annealing time is 5min~30min.
[0046] Furthermore, the coating in step (5) is spin coating, the spin coating speed is 3000 rpm to 5000 rpm, and the spin coating time is 20 s to 40 s.
[0047] The principle of this invention is as follows: By introducing an organic ammonium salt containing a conjugated aromatic ring to react with SnI2, a two-dimensional template A2SnI4 (where A is an organic ammonium cation containing a conjugated aromatic ring) is pre-generated. Based on epitaxial growth theory, this ordered two-dimensional perovskite template plays a crucial role in the preferred orientation of the subsequently formed three-dimensional perovskite. On the one hand, the three-dimensional perovskite grown based on the A2SnI4 template inherits the directional arrangement characteristics of two-dimensional crystals, reducing lattice orientation mismatch, thereby forming a tin-based perovskite with a preferred orientation on the (100) crystal plane. Furthermore, according to Wulff's structural theory, AI (where A is an organic ammonium cation containing a conjugated aromatic ring) can also induce the orientation of the perovskite by reducing the crystal surface energy. On the other hand, after A2SnI4 participates in the reaction with FAI, it is further transformed into two-dimensional perovskites with different n values, and finally undergoes a non-self-heating mechanical process to transform into FASnI3. This transformation process significantly slows down the crystal growth rate, thereby achieving a significant reduction in the defect state density.
[0048] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0049] (1) This invention develops a simple epitaxial growth strategy to regulate the crystallization kinetics of tin-based perovskites. For the first time, it utilizes A2SnI4, generated by the reaction of an organic ammonium salt containing a conjugated aromatic ring with SnI2, as a template for the epitaxial growth of three-dimensional tin-based perovskites. The organic ammonium salt with enhanced π-conjugation successfully replaces the traditional 2-phenylethylamine hydroiodate (PEAI), achieving an ordered arrangement of three-dimensional perovskites. This not only optimizes the carrier transport kinetics but also ensures the formation of uniform tin-based perovskite films over a large area.
[0050] (2) The tin-based perovskite solar cell provided by this invention has high carrier lifetime and low defect state density, at 0.04 cm⁻¹ 2 With 1cm 2 The photoelectric conversion efficiencies achieved were 14.03% and 12.44% respectively over the effective area.
[0051] (3) The preparation method of the present invention is relatively simple, easy to operate, low in energy consumption, and has universality, making it suitable for widespread application. Attached Figure Description

Figure 7 As shown in Table 1 and Figure 7 It can be seen that the tin-based perovskite solar cell prepared based on the epitaxial growth template has the best performance, with a conversion efficiency of 14.03%, which is significantly better than comparative examples 5 and 6.
[0117] Table 1 Performance parameters of tin-based perovskite solar cells
[0118] Open circuit voltage (V) <![CDATA[Short-circuit current (mA / cm 2 )]]> Fill factor (%) Conversion efficiency (%) Example 5 0.95 20.64 71.71 14.03 Comparative Example 5 0.77 17.54 68.27 9.27 Comparative Example 6 0.91 19.81 69.32 12.46
[0119] The quality of tin-based perovskite thin films and the performance of corresponding solar cells prepared using epitaxial growth templates are significantly improved. This is because the (100) crystallinity of the films prepared using this method is greatly increased, and the internal defect state density is significantly reduced. Conversely, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of tin-based perovskite solar cells prepared without PEAI or NEAI and based on PEA2SnI4 is relatively low, reflecting the superiority of the preparation method based on epitaxial growth templates.
