Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of solar cell technology, and more specifically, relates to a method for preparing perovskite thin films and a battery. Background Technology
[0002] Perovskite materials are widely used in the photovoltaic field due to their excellent photoelectric properties. The general chemical formula of perovskite materials is ABX3, where the A-site is typically a monovalent organic cation (such as methylamine cation MA⁺, formamidinium cation FA⁺) or an inorganic cation (such as Cs⁺, Rb⁺), the B-site is a divalent metal ion (such as Pb²⁺, Sn²⁺), and the X-site is a halide anion (such as I⁻, Br⁻, Cl⁻). By adjusting the composition of the A, B, and X sites, the band gap, stability, and photoelectric properties of the material can be precisely controlled to meet the needs of different application scenarios.
[0003] In the fabrication of perovskite thin films, a two-step process first deposits an inorganic substrate layer (such as PbI2), then reacts with an organic salt solution (such as MAI or FAI) to form the perovskite film. The density and crystallinity of the inorganic substrate layer directly affect the penetration and reaction efficiency of the subsequent organic salt. If the inorganic layer is too dense, the organic salt cannot penetrate sufficiently, leading to incomplete reaction and residual unconverted PbI2 and other precursors in the film. If the inorganic layer is too porous, it may form a porous film with poor mechanical strength, which is prone to cracking during subsequent annealing or device processing. Existing processes optimize the morphology of the inorganic substrate layer through solvent engineering and use mixed solvents or additives to regulate the crystallization process. However, the porosity of the inorganic layer in the fabricated perovskite film is difficult to control, resulting in complex processes, high costs, and poor consistency in large-area fabrication.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0031] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The method for preparing perovskite thin films provided in this application embodiment will now be described. The method for preparing perovskite thin films includes: S10 provides a substrate on which an inorganic substrate layer is deposited; S20, the inorganic substrate is immersed in an etchant to etch it, and a porous inorganic substrate with a micro-nano-scale porous structure is obtained. S30, an organic salt reaction ink is coated on a porous inorganic substrate, and the organic salt reaction ink is dried to form a perovskite pre-crystallized film; S40, the pre-crystallized film is annealed to obtain a perovskite film.
[0032] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, when depositing an inorganic substrate layer on the substrate, it may be, but is not limited to, a dense inorganic substrate layer formed by depositing inorganic substrate materials (inorganic salt solutions, etc.). The inorganic substrate layer has no porous structure, and therefore does not require mixing solvents or additives to regulate the crystallization process and adjust pore formation, making consistency easier to control during fabrication. The etchant is deposited on the inorganic substrate layer after its formation, and erodes the dense inorganic substrate layer to create a micro / nano-scale porous structure, thereby forming a porous inorganic substrate layer. The role of the organic salt reactive ink is to react and complex with the materials in the porous inorganic substrate layer, so that a perovskite pre-crystallized film can be formed after drying. Its drying process facilitates the accelerated penetration of organic salts into the porous inorganic substrate layer.
[0033] In this embodiment, by immersing the inorganic substrate layer with an etchant, a micro-nano-scale porous structure is formed on the inorganic substrate layer. This eliminates the need for pre-deposition of the inorganic substrate layer, as the deposition process does not require solvent mixing or additives to regulate the crystallization process. A dense deposition layer can be directly achieved, which is beneficial for controlling the consistency of the inorganic deposition layer. During etching, the pore size and porosity of the porous structure can be adjusted by controlling the concentration and time of the etchant. The solute in the etchant solution is uniformly dispersed, eliminating interference from the inorganic substrate deposition process. The reaction rate is essentially uniform throughout the immersion etching process, resulting in a highly consistent porous inorganic substrate layer. After the formation of the porous inorganic substrate layer, its permeability is improved. By coating with an organic salt reactive ink, the ink penetrates into the porous structure, thereby improving the uniformity of the interfacial reaction and resulting in a more uniform film thickness and composition distribution.
[0034] In one embodiment of this application, the solvent of the etchant is at least one selected from isopropanol, ethanol, and n-butanol; the solute of the etchant is at least one selected from dimethyl sulfone, N,N-dimethylformamide, and N-methylpyrrolidone. This facilitates the dissolution of the solute in the etchant and prevents the dissolution of the inorganic substrate layer, thereby enabling control of the reaction degree, precise regulation of the pore size and porosity of the micro / nano-scale porous structure, and convenient solvent removal in subsequent annealing processes.
[0035] In one embodiment of this application, the mass percentage of the solute in the etchant is 0.1%-70%. This allows for concentration-based control of the reaction rate to meet the requirements of different micro / nano-scale porous etching processes. The mass percentage of the solute in the etchant can be adjusted based on the reaction rate, temperature, time, pore size, and porosity of the etchant, etc. For example, the mass percentage of the solute in the etchant can be any value between 0.1% and 70%, such as 1%, 5%, 15%, 30%, 40%, 50%, or 60%.
[0036] In one embodiment of this application, the etchant is deposited on the surface of the inorganic substrate layer via vapor deposition, spin coating, inkjet printing, or slot coating. This ensures that the etchant is uniformly applied to the surface of the inorganic substrate layer, resulting in sufficient and uniform contact between the surface of the inorganic substrate layer and the etchant, guaranteeing consistent reaction throughout.
[0037] In one embodiment of this application, the immersion time of the inorganic substrate in the etchant ranges from 5s to 800s. This allows for control of the reaction degree between the etchant and the inorganic substrate, facilitating the adjustment of pore size and porosity in the micro / nano-scale porous structure. The immersion time of the etchant can be adjusted based on the reaction rate of the etchant and the desired micro / nano-scale porous structure data; for example, the immersion time of the inorganic substrate in the etchant can be any value between 5s and 800s, such as 50s, 150s, 300s, 450s, 600s, or 700s.
[0038] In one embodiment of this application, the etchant is dried by blowing, vacuum flash evaporation, natural drying, or infrared heating. This removes excess etchant, stops the etchant from penetrating the inorganic substrate, and maintains the stability of the formed micro / nano-scale porous structure.
[0039] In one embodiment of this application, the inorganic substrate layer is annealed after etching at a temperature between 50°C and 300°C for a duration between 5s and 2000s. This removes residual solvent from the etchant, maintains the stability of the micro / nano-scale porous structure, and prevents the etchant from affecting subsequent reactions. For etchant solvents with lower boiling points, a lower annealing temperature can be selected; for etchant solvents with higher boiling points, a higher annealing temperature can be used. The annealing temperature can be any temperature within the range of 50°C to 300°C, such as 80°C, 120°C, 180°C, 240°C, or 270°C. The annealing time can be selected according to the solvent and temperature, and can be any time within the range of 5s to 2000s, such as 50s, 150s, 300s, 450s, 600s, 900s, 1200s, or 1500s.
[0040] In one embodiment of this application, the inorganic substrate layer includes AX and BX2; A is a monovalent metal cation, B is a divalent metal cation, and X is a monovalent anion; A includes Cs. + and Rb + At least one of them, B includes Pb 2+ or Sn 2+ At least one of them; X includes I - ,Br - Cl - or SCN - At least one of the following. This can be understood as the inorganic substrate layer being deposited using a mixed solution of AX and BX2, where AX includes at least one of CsI, CsBr, CsCl, CsSCN, RbI, RbBr, RbCl, and RbSCN; and BX2 includes at least one of PbI2, PbBr2, PbCl2, Pb(SCN)2, SnI2, SnBr2, SnCl2, and Sn(SCN)2. This allows for the formation of a mixed-component inorganic substrate layer and helps reduce metal halide residues in the resulting perovskite.
[0041] In one embodiment of this application, the organic salt reactive ink comprises an organic salt and an organic solvent, wherein the organic salt is CY; C is a monovalent organic cation, and Y is a monovalent anion; C includes methylamine cation (MA). + ), formamidinium cation (FA) + ), phenylethylamine halide cation (PEA) + At least one of the following, Y includes iodide ions (I - ), bromide ions (Br)- ), chloride ions (Cl) - ) or thiocyanate ions (SCN) - At least one of the following: ); the organic solvent includes at least one of isopropanol, ethanol, and n-butanol.
[0042] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The organic salt reactive ink also includes a penetration enhancer, which includes at least one selected from ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diphenyl sulfoxide, γ-lactone, dimethyl sulfone, N,N-dimethylformamide, and N-methylpyrrolidone. This improves the permeability of the organic salt reactive ink, which is beneficial for the uniform reaction of the porous inorganic substrate.
[0043] In one embodiment of this application, the penetration enhancer has a mass ratio of 0.1%-50%. The mass ratio can be selected based on the effect of the penetration enhancer, and can be any value between 0.1% and 50%, such as 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, or 40%. This allows for the control of the penetration rate of the organic salt reaction ink.
[0044] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1 In step S30, the organic salt reactive ink is applied to the porous inorganic substrate layer using inkjet printing, spin coating, or slot coating processes. This allows for control over the uniform coating of the organic salt reactive ink on the porous inorganic substrate layer, ensuring consistent penetration and reaction across different areas.
[0045] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In step S30, the organic salt reaction ink is dried by blowing, vacuum flash evaporation, natural drying, or infrared heating. This allows for control of the reaction time.
[0046] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1 In step S40, during the annealing of the pre-crystallized film: the annealing temperature is between 50℃ and 300℃, and the annealing time is between 5s and 2000s. The annealing temperature can be any temperature within the range of 50℃ to 300℃, such as 80℃, 120℃, 180℃, 240℃, or 270℃; the annealing time can be selected according to the solvent and temperature, and can be any time within the range of 5s to 2000s, such as 50s, 150s, 300s, 450s, 600s, 900s, 1200s, or 1500s. This further removes solvent residue from the organic salt reaction ink, forming a stable perovskite thin film layer.
[0047] This application also provides a battery, including a perovskite layer, which is prepared by the method in any of the above embodiments. By employing the perovskite thin film preparation methods described above, a transition layer with precisely controllable pore size, porosity, and a three-dimensional interconnected structure can be formed, thereby improving the thickness and compositional uniformity of the perovskite layer, enhancing its consistency, and improving the reliability of the battery.

The difference from Example 1 is that a penetration enhancer was not added in step nine of Comparative Example 1.
[0068] Comparative experiments were conducted on the embodiments of this application with Comparative Examples 1 to 3. The inorganic substrate layer and perovskite layer of the four examples were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown in the table comparison, we can see that: 1. As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the inorganic substrate layer that has not been etched by an etchant has an overly dense structure, which causes the organic salt solution to accumulate on its surface, making it unable to penetrate deeply and react completely, resulting in poor crystal morphology and indistinct grains.
[0069] 2. As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, forcibly coating an organic salt solution with a penetration enhancer onto an inorganic substrate that has not been etched with an etchant will severely damage its morphology and structure. The resulting perovskite film has many pinholes, is not dense enough, and has a very poor crystal structure.
[0070] 4. As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, the reaction of perovskite on an inorganic substrate layer etched by an etchant using an organic salt solution without a penetration enhancer will result in poor penetration of the organic salt solution, and can only form a perovskite film with an uneven morphology on the surface of the porous inorganic substrate layer.
[0071] In comparison, Embodiment 1 of this application has a denser and more continuous perovskite film.
[0072] A comparative experiment was conducted between Example 1 of this application and Comparative Examples 1-3. A standard solar intensity calibration was performed using a solar simulator, and the calibration was performed on an area of 1.0 cm². 2 The comparative device was tested over a long period of time, with the starting voltage set to 0V, the cutoff voltage to 2.0V, and the range to 100mA. The test results are shown in the table below.
[0073]
[0074] A comparison of the experimental data from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 in the table above shows that: The perovskite formed by the inorganic substrate being etched and modified with an etchant and reacted with an organic salt reaction ink exhibits higher performance in perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem solar cell devices.
[0075] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
