Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solar energy technology, and relates to a self-assembled monolayer hole transport material based on polycarbazole derivatives, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] As a new generation of photovoltaic technology, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have advantages such as simple fabrication processes, easily modulated materials, and low cost. The latest certified efficiency has reached 26.2% (National Renewable Energy Laboratory, NREL, 2023). Perovskite solar cells have two main structural types: one is forward-facing... The structure is either reversed or... Structure. Compared to structure, This structure is better suited for fabricating large-area, tandem solar cells because it can utilize low-temperature processes and a wider variety of carrier extraction layers, giving it greater commercial potential. However, The structure also faces a challenge: how to improve the interface quality and stability between the hole-selective layer and the perovskite. Currently, commonly used hole transport materials (HTMs) for inverting devices include inorganic materials such as nickel oxide (NiOx) and organic polymer materials such as poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine] (PTAA). Among them, nickel oxide has energy level mismatches and defect states with the perovskite, leading to voltage loss and interface degradation; PTAA is expensive, has unstable batch production, and low film wettability, all of which limit further improvement in device performance. Therefore, developing high-performance, novel hole transport materials for inverting devices is crucial to device performance. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) as hole transport materials have the characteristics of simple structure and flexible design, and can effectively adjust interface energy levels and reduce defect states based on molecular engineering. At the same time, these materials also exhibit unique advantages such as low parasitic absorption, low material consumption, compatibility with tandem perovskite solar cells, and simplified fabrication of large-area devices, making them a popular choice for fabricating high-efficiency perovskite solar cells.

[0003] Hole transport materials (HTMs) are an important component of power cell batteries (PSCs) and play a crucial role in battery efficiency and stability. Poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine] (PTAA) is currently the most commonly used HTM in high-efficiency inverted PSCs, but several problems with PTAA itself seriously hinder the industrialization of inverted PSCs: First, the price of PTAA is as high as $1980 / g, dozens of times that of gold, preventing its large-scale application; second, PTAA itself has a low hole mobility (~10). 5 cm 2 V -1 s -1 To improve hole transport performance, dopants such as lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Li-TFSI) and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7',8,8'-tetracyanodimethyl-p-benzoquinone (F4TCNQ) need to be added. However, these water-absorbing dopants can cause the decomposition of perovskite, which greatly affects the long-term stability of the battery. Finally, as a polymer, PTAA's molecular weight and photovoltaic performance can change with each synthesis batch, which is not conducive to industrial application.

[0004] Therefore, developing new SAM materials with simple structure, low cost, and excellent performance is a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed to promote the industrialization of PSCs. Summary of the Invention

The reaction mixture was heated at 180 °C. o The reaction was carried out at C for 24 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled to room temperature. The solution was diluted with water and then extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to dryness. The crude product was separated by silica gel column chromatography to give a white solid (0.92 g, 66%).

Trimethylbromosilane (0.612 g, 0.528 mL, 4 mmol) was added dropwise to the well-stirred mixture at room temperature. After 12 hours, the mixture was carefully transferred to a 100 mL round-bottom flask and concentrated under reduced pressure. A magnetic stir bar and 20 mL of methanol were then added sequentially. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours, filtered, washed with methanol (3 × 5 mL), and the combined filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a solid as the crude product. Recrystallization from methanol / dichloromethane / diethyl ether gave a white solid (0.36 g, 58%).

[0208] The specific device fabrication process is as follows:

[0209] First, the FTO conductive glass substrate was pretreated: the FTO glass was ultrasonically cleaned sequentially in detergent, deionized water, ethanol, and acetone for 15 minutes each, and then dried in a 75°C oven. Before use, the glass was treated with UV ozone for 10 minutes. Then, a NiOx layer was prepared in air via spin coating: a 5 mg / mL NiOx aqueous solution was filtered through a 0.22 μm PTFE membrane and dropped onto the FTO substrate surface. The solution was then spin-coated at 5000 rpm for 30 s, followed by heat annealing at 120°C for 15 minutes. The NiOx-coated substrate was then transferred to a nitrogen glove box for further preparation of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM): 110 μL of a 0.35 mg / mL Al ethanol solution was dropped onto the center of the substrate, spin-coated at 5000 rpm for 30 s, and then heat-annealed at 100°C for 10 minutes. The perovskite layer was deposited using a two-step spin-coating method, applying 110 μL of perovskite precursor solution (FA). 0.9 MA 0.05 Cs. 0.05A 1.5M PbI3 (DMF:DMSO = 4:1) solution was dropped onto the center of the substrate. The first spin coating was performed at 2000 rpm for 20 seconds, followed by a second spin coating at 4500 rpm for 35 seconds. Ten seconds before the end of the second spin coating step, 110 μL of anisole was added uniformly to the center of the substrate, followed by thermal annealing at 110°C for 20 minutes. After the perovskite film annealing was complete and cooled to room temperature, a passivation layer was prepared by dropping 110 μL of PDADI2 solution (1,3-propanediamine hydroiodate dissolved in isopropanol (IPA), concentration 0.5 mg / mL) onto the center of the substrate. The layer was then spin-coated at 5000 rpm for 30 seconds and annealed at 100°C for 5 minutes. After annealing, the battery is transferred to a vapor deposition system, where a 21 nm thick C60 layer is deposited on the perovskite layer using vacuum thermal evaporation. Subsequently, a 25 nm thick SnO2 layer is deposited at 90°C using atomic layer deposition (ALD).

[0223] Example 10

[0224] Perovskite solar cells were fabricated using the self-assembled monolayer material A21 obtained in Example 5 as the hole transport layer, such as... Figure 19 As shown, its structure is: Glass / FTO / NiOx / SAM / PVSK / C60 / SnO2 / Ag.

[0225] The specific device fabrication process is as follows: First, the FTO conductive glass substrate is pretreated. The FTO glass is ultrasonically cleaned sequentially in detergent, deionized water, ethanol, and acetone for 15 minutes each, and then dried in a 75°C oven. Before use, the glass is treated with ultraviolet ozone for 10 minutes, and then a NiOx layer is prepared in air by spin coating. A 5 mg / mL NiOx aqueous solution is filtered through a 0.22 μm PTFE membrane and dropped onto the surface of the FTO substrate. It is then spin-coated at 5000 rpm for 30 s on a spin coater, followed by thermal annealing at 120°C for 15 minutes. The substrate after NiOx preparation is transferred to a nitrogen glove box to continue preparing a self-assembled monolayer (SAM). 110 μL of an ethanol solution of 0.35 mg / mL A21 is dropped onto the center of the substrate, spin-coated at 5000 rpm for 30 s, and then thermally annealed at 100°C for 10 minutes. The perovskite layer was deposited using a two-step spin-coating method, applying 110 μL of perovskite precursor solution (FA). 0.9 MA 0.05 Cs. 0.05 A 1.5M PbI3 (DMF:DMSO = 4:1) solution was dropped onto the center of the substrate. The first spin coating was performed at 2000 rpm for 20 seconds, followed by a second spin coating at 4500 rpm for 35 seconds. Ten seconds before the end of the second spin coating, 110 μL of anisole was added uniformly to the center of the substrate, followed by thermal annealing at 110°C for 20 minutes. After the perovskite film annealing was complete and the temperature cooled to room temperature, a passivation layer was prepared. 110 μL of PDADI2 (dissolved in IPA, 0.5 mg / mL) solution was dropped onto the center of the substrate, and the layer was spin-coated at 5000 rpm for 30 seconds, followed by annealing at 100°C for 5 minutes. After annealing, the cell was transferred to an evaporation system, where a 21 nm layer of C60 was deposited on the perovskite layer using vacuum thermal evaporation. Subsequently, a 25 nm layer of SnO2 was deposited at 90°C using atomic layer deposition (ALD). Finally, after scraping off the excess film layer at the common end, an Ag electrode with a thickness of 100 nm was deposited by vacuum evaporation under masked conditions.

[0226] Based on the A21 obtained in Example 5, perovskite solar cell devices were fabricated and characterized according to the above procedure. The current-voltage (J-V) characteristic curves of the cell device performance are shown below. Figure 18 The open-circuit voltage Voc is 1.192V, and the short-circuit current density Jsc is 25.25mA / cm². 2 The fill factor FF is 0.8459 and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is 25.45%.

[0242] (1) Energy levels of self-assembled single-molecule hole transport materials

[0243] The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels of the SAM molecule were determined by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and aligned with the vacuum level. The HOMO levels range from -5.0 eV to -6.0 eV, aligned with the valence band top of typical perovskite absorbers (e.g., the valence band top of FAPbI3 is approximately -5.4 to -6.0 eV), thus enabling good hole transport. The LUMO levels lie between -1.0 eV and -3.0 eV, providing a sufficient barrier for electron injection and reducing charge recombination at the interface. Specific values ​​are as follows:

[0244] Table 1. HOMO and LUMO energy levels of self-assembled monomolecular hole transport materials

[0245]

[0246]

[0247] As shown in Table 1, the compound of the present invention has a suitable HOMO energy level that matches the valence band top of the perovskite, thereby achieving good hole transport; and the LUMO energy level is greater than the conduction band bottom of the perovskite, preventing electron injection into the perovskite, thus improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite photovoltaic device containing the compound of the present invention.

[0248] (2) Heterogeneous interface transport model

[0249] The heterointerface transport model is used to more accurately describe the carrier (electron and hole) transfer behavior at the SAM molecule-perovskite heterointerface. When the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level of the SAM molecule is higher than the perovskite valence band top (VBM), the electrons of the SAM molecule will transfer to the lower energy perovskite valence band. Equivalently, holes from the perovskite will transfer to the SAM, thus realizing hole transport.

[0250] First-principles DFT simulations were used to calculate the density of states (DOS) of each SAM molecule adsorbed on the perovskite interface to elucidate the electronic structure and interfacial interactions. The calculations were performed using Vienna Ab initio simulation software package version 6.4.2, employing a hybrid functional approach to balance computational efficiency with accuracy in describing the band gap and localized states. The simulation workflow is as follows:

[0251] Model Construction: A perovskite surface model was constructed using a FAPbI3 unit cell (3x3x1) with {001} crystal planes capped by PbI2. SAM molecules are adsorbed through their functional groups. Van der Waals interactions were introduced using DFT-D3 correction to account for non-covalent bonding. Periodic boundary conditions were applied, and a vacuum layer of at least 20 Å was created perpendicular to the interface to mitigate spurious interactions.

[0252] Geometric optimization: Initial structural relaxation was performed using the Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) and the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) function. A plane-wave basis set with an energy cutoff of 400 eV was used, and the Brillouin zone was sampled using a 3×3×1 gamma-centered k-point grid. The core electron was treated with a Projected Enhanced Wave (PAW) pseudopotential, whose valence configuration includes the 5d Pb. 10 6s 2 6p 2 ,I's 5s 2 5p 5 And the corresponding settings for organic elements. The electronic self-consistent convergence criterion is set to 10. -5 eV, with the ionic force convergence criterion set at 0.02 eV / Å.

[0253] Electronic structure calculations: After optimization, single-point energies were calculated using the hybrid Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE06) functional, which incorporates 25% accurate Hartree-Fock exchange with a screening parameter of 0.2 Å. -1 This hybrid approach corrects the inherent bandgap underestimation problem of pure GGA functionals, thus providing a more reliable DO spectrum.

[0254] Density of states calculation: The total density of states and projected density of states (PDOS) were calculated using the tetrahedral method, and Bloch correction was performed to eliminate dispersion effects, thus ensuring a high-resolution description of states near the Fermi level. The DOS was calculated from -10 eV to +5 eV relative to the Fermi level, with a grid spacing of 0.01 eV. The contributions of SAM molecules, perovskite lattice, and interface atoms to the PDOS were analyzed to identify hybridization effects, such as orbital overlap between the SAM π-conjugated system and the perovskite valence band states.

[0255] This calculation scheme reveals key interfacial electronic properties, including the bandgap mid-states generated by the SAM-perovskite interaction and the shift in the effective work function, which are crucial for improving the open-circuit voltage and fill factor of solar cells.

[0256] As can be seen from the density of states (DOS) diagram of the SAM-perovskite composite structure, compounds A1~A21 of the present invention and Comparative Example 1 have suitable HOMO energy levels, which form an energy level difference with the valence band top of the perovskite, which is conducive to the transport of holes from the perovskite to the SAM material, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite photovoltaic device containing the compounds of the present invention.

[0257] Comparative Examples 2, 4, and 5 were adsorbed on the surface of perovskite crystals, and the density of states (DOS) was continuously distributed, failing to form an effective heterostructure, suggesting that Comparative Examples 2, 4, and 5 cannot be used as hole transport materials.

[0258] Comparative Examples 3 and 6 are adsorbed on the surface of perovskite crystals. Their HOMO energy levels are comparable to the valence band top of perovskite, and no energy level difference is formed, which is not conducive to the transport of holes from perovskite to SAM materials.
