Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of solar cell technology, and more specifically, to a method for preparing a perovskite tandem solar cell and the perovskite tandem solar cell itself. Background Technology
[0002] Perovskite solar cells have attracted widespread attention due to their high efficiency and low cost, especially when combined with crystalline silicon cells in tandem structures to further improve efficiency and stability. The passivation process of the perovskite layer is one of the key steps in improving cell efficiency and stability; it aims to reduce defects in the perovskite film and improve its interface quality. Traditionally, the preparation of the passivation layer is usually carried out in a vacuum to avoid the influence of moisture and oxygen. However, the preparation process under vacuum conditions is not only costly but also difficult to implement in large-scale production. Therefore, researchers have attempted to prepare the passivation layer in air to simplify the process and reduce costs. However, the perovskite preparation process in air is easily affected by moisture during stable operation, especially when preparing the passivation layer. Perovskite is prone to decomposition and defect formation, resulting in low density, poor uniformity, and inadequate interface passivation.
[0003] The information disclosed above in the background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background art of the art described herein. Therefore, the background art may contain certain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art in this country. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of this application, a method for fabricating a perovskite tandem solar cell is provided, comprising: providing a base cell; sequentially forming a first transparent conductive layer, a hole transport layer, a perovskite layer, and a first passivation layer along the thickness direction of the base cell on one side of the base cell, wherein the first passivation layer is prepared in air, and the solvent for preparing the first passivation layer includes a polar solvent and a non-polar solvent; and sequentially forming an electron transport layer, a second transparent conductive layer, and a first electrode on the side of the first passivation layer opposite to the base cell.
[0006] Optionally, the preparation method further includes: mixing the passivation layer material, the polar solvent, and the non-polar solvent to obtain a first passivation layer solution, wherein the solubility of the first passivation layer solution is 0.15~0.5 mg / ml; depositing the first passivation layer solution onto the side of the perovskite layer away from the bottom cell using a coating process in an air environment to form a preliminary first passivation layer; and annealing the preliminary first passivation layer to obtain the first passivation layer.
[0007] Optionally, the mass ratio of the polar solvent to the non-polar solvent is (60~90):(10~40).
[0008] Optionally, the coating process includes at least one of the following: spin coating, spray coating, and blade coating.
[0009] Optionally, the polar solvent includes at least one of the following: IPA, NBA, and isooctyl alcohol.
[0010] Optionally, the nonpolar solvent includes at least one of the following: anisole, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, anisole, and ionic liquid.
[0011] Optionally, the preparation method further includes: sputtering the material of the first transparent conductive layer onto the bottom battery using a magnetron sputtering process to form the first transparent conductive layer, wherein the power of the magnetron sputtering process is 200~600W, and a preset gas is introduced during the magnetron sputtering process, wherein the preset gas includes at least one of the following: argon and hydrogen.
[0012] Optionally, the preparation method further includes: sputtering the material of the first hole transport layer onto the first transparent conductive layer using a magnetron sputtering process to form the first hole transport layer, wherein the power of the magnetron sputtering process is 1000~2000W, and argon gas is introduced during the magnetron sputtering process; forming a second hole transport layer on the side of the first hole transport layer away from the bottom battery using an evaporation process, wherein the evaporation rate is 0.3~0.5Å / s, and the first hole transport layer and the second hole transport layer constitute the hole transport layer.
[0013] Optionally, the preparation method further includes: mixing lead iodide and lead bromide powders to obtain a mixed powder, and using a vapor deposition process to deposit the mixed powder and cesium bromide powder onto the side of the electron transport layer away from the bottom cell, wherein the vapor deposition rate of the mixed powder is 3~4 Å / s and the vapor deposition rate of the cesium bromide powder is 0.5~0.6 Å / s.
[0014] According to another aspect of this application, a perovskite tandem solar cell is provided, which is prepared using the aforementioned method for preparing a perovskite tandem solar cell.
[0015] Applying the technical solution of this application, a first transparent conductive layer, a hole transport layer, a perovskite layer, and a first passivation layer are sequentially formed along the thickness direction of the bottom battery on one side.

An electron transport layer, a second transparent conductive layer, and a first electrode are sequentially formed on the side of the first passivation layer facing away from the bottom battery. When preparing the first passivation layer in air, a mixture of polar and non-polar solvents is used. The polar solvent provides good solubility, while the non-polar solvent reduces the influence of the solvent on the perovskite layer, optimizing the film formation process of the passivation layer on the bottom battery. This results in a smoother interface between the first passivation layer and the perovskite layer, reducing defects and improving the passivation effect. Furthermore, by mixing these two solvents in a specific ratio, good dissolution of the passivation material is ensured while reducing side effects on the perovskite material. This facilitates the formation of a denser and more uniform passivation layer film, solving the problem of poor passivation layer quality in existing technologies for perovskite tandem solar cells prepared in air. The formed first passivation layer effectively prevents interference from moisture in the air, inhibits ion migration, passivates surface defects, and optimizes film formation quality, thereby significantly improving photoelectric conversion efficiency and battery stability.

[0025] As described in the background section, the existing perovskite preparation process in air is easily affected by moisture during stable operation, especially when preparing the passivation layer. The perovskite is prone to decomposition and defects, resulting in low density, poor uniformity, and poor interface passivation. To solve the problem of poor passivation layer quality in perovskite tandem solar cells prepared in air, the embodiments of this application provide a method for preparing a perovskite tandem solar cell and a perovskite tandem solar cell.
[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0027] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for fabricating a perovskite tandem solar cell according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0028] Step S1, provide the bottom battery;
[0029] Specifically, the aforementioned base cell can be a high-efficiency and stable heterojunction solar cell (HJT), exhibiting high photoelectric conversion efficiency and good stability. If large-area tandem cells are required, a 210mm HJT solar cell can be selected as the base cell to meet the fabrication requirements of large-area, high-efficiency perovskite tandem cells. Using a high-efficiency and stable base cell as the foundation of the perovskite tandem cell ensures the initial photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the entire cell structure, providing a good support platform for the subsequent fabrication of the perovskite layer and other functional layers.
[0030] Step S2: A first transparent conductive layer, a hole transport layer, a perovskite layer and a first passivation layer are sequentially formed on one side of the bottom cell along the thickness direction of the bottom cell. The first passivation layer is prepared in the air, and the solvent used to prepare the first passivation layer includes polar solvents and non-polar solvents.
[0031] Specifically, a first transparent conductive layer (such as ITO) with a thickness of 10-20 nm is first deposited on the front side of the bottom cell (the side receiving sunlight) using deposition processes such as magnetron sputtering. Subsequently, a hole transport layer with a thickness of 40-60 nm is deposited, followed by the formation of a 500 nm thick perovskite layer. Finally, a first passivation layer is prepared in air using a mixed solution containing polar and non-polar solvents (such as a mixture of IPA and anisole) to dissolve the passivation material (such as PEAI) in an appropriate proportion. Preparing the first passivation layer in air, combined with the use of a mixed system of polar and non-polar solvents, effectively reduces the contact between the perovskite layer and moisture and oxygen in the air, preventing decomposition and performance degradation of the perovskite material. The introduction of non-polar solvents reduces the negative impact of polar solvents on the perovskite material while ensuring good dissolution and film quality of the passivation layer material.
[0032] In step S3, an electron transport layer, a second transparent conductive layer, and a first electrode are sequentially formed on the side of the first passivation layer away from the bottom cell.
[0033] Specifically, on the other side of the first passivation layer, an electron transport layer with a thickness of 10-20 nm is deposited (using a vapor deposition process, the material being TiO2). Following this, a second transparent conductive layer (such as IZO) with a thickness of approximately 15-20 nm is formed on top. Finally, a metal electrode layer (such as Ag) with a thickness of approximately 100-150 nm is deposited as the first electrode. This series of functional layer depositions and fabrications follows optimal process conditions, ensuring good contact between layers and excellent photoelectric performance. The electron transport layer and the second transparent conductive layer further optimize the carrier transport path in the perovskite tandem solar cell, reducing carrier recombination losses and improving photoelectric conversion efficiency. The introduction of the metal electrode layer provides reliable electrical contact, facilitating current collection and output.
[0034] This embodiment demonstrates that when preparing the first passivation layer in air, a mixture of polar and non-polar solvents can be used as the solvent. The polar solvent provides excellent solubility, while the non-polar solvent reduces the impact of the solvent on the perovskite layer, optimizing the film formation process of the passivation layer on the bottom cell. This results in a smoother interface between the first passivation layer and the perovskite layer, reducing defects and improving the passivation effect. Furthermore, by mixing these two solvents in a specific ratio, good dissolution of the passivation material is ensured while minimizing side effects on the perovskite material, contributing to the formation of a denser and more uniform passivation layer film. This solves the problem of poor passivation layer quality in existing technologies for perovskite tandem solar cells prepared in air. The formed first passivation layer effectively prevents interference from moisture in the air, inhibits ion migration, passivates surface defects, and optimizes film formation quality, thereby significantly improving photoelectric conversion efficiency and cell stability. Moreover, preparing the passivation layer in air is more cost-effective than preparing it under vacuum conditions and allows for large-scale production.
[0035] In the above embodiment, the bottom cell is prepared by laser non-destructive cutting of the HJT wafer into 210 half-wafers, followed by ultrasonication with deionized water and detergent for 15 minutes, and rinsing the wafer 2-3 times to remove the detergent. It is then ultrasonicated with deionized water for 15 minutes, followed by ultrasonication with IPA for 15 minutes, dried with BTU, and subjected to ultraviolet ozone radiation. Before treatment, it is first spin-coated with IPA and then washed again. The spin-coating conditions can be 1500-2000 rap / 30s, followed by ultraviolet ozone radiation treatment for 15 minutes.
[0036] In the specific implementation process, the first passivation layer in step S2 above can be obtained through the following steps:
[0037] A passivation layer material, a polar solvent, and a non-polar solvent are mixed to obtain a first passivation layer solution with a solubility of 0.15~0.5 mg / ml. The passivation layer material can be PDI, PDAI, or PEAI. The polar solvent includes at least one of the following: IPA, NBA, and isooctanol. The non-polar solvent includes at least one of the following: anisole, ethyl acetate, acetic acid, anisole, and ionic liquid. Taking PDI as the passivation layer material as an example, the solvent can be prepared using mixed solvents of IPA and anisole, IPA and ethyl acetate, or IPA, NBA, and acetic acid. The solvent ratios can be (8~9):(1~2), 8~9):(1~2), and (7~8):(1~2):(1~2), for example, 9:1, 9:1, and 8:1:1. The solubility of the obtained passivation layer is 0.15~0.5 mg / ml.
[0038] In an air-conditioned environment, a first passivation layer solution is deposited onto the side of the perovskite layer opposite to the bottom cell using a coating process to form a preliminary first passivation layer. The coating process can include spin coating, spray coating, or blade coating. Spin coating utilizes rotational force to uniformly distribute the solution, suitable for small-area thin-film preparation on a laboratory scale, and can provide a highly uniform coating. Spray coating utilizes pressure to atomize and deposit the solution, suitable for larger-area thin-film preparation, and easily controls the coating thickness and uniformity. Blade coating is a simple, low-cost deposition method suitable for large-area coating preparation in continuous production processes. By employing a spray coating process, combined with precise spray parameter control, the first passivation layer solution can be uniformly deposited on the perovskite layer without sacrificing uniformity and density, forming a high-quality preliminary first passivation layer. Further annealing treatment forms the final passivation layer, significantly improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite tandem solar cell. This application does not specifically limit the selection of the coating process. Taking spraying as an example, the spraying pressure is 0.3~1 Pa, and the distance between the perovskite layer and the nozzle is 15~30 cm. The spraying rate is 6~15 cm / s. After spraying, it is cleaned with IPA solution.
[0039] The first passivation layer is annealed to obtain the first passivation layer. It is then placed in an annealing apparatus for annealing at 100℃ for 5 minutes. By controlling the ratio of polar to non-polar solvents and the solubility of the solution, a high-quality first passivation layer can be successfully prepared in air. This improves the uniformity and density of the passivation layer, better isolates moisture, optimizes the film formation quality, and thus enhances the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability.
[0040] The aforementioned polar solvents can effectively dissolve passivation layer materials such as PDI, PDAI, and PEAI. Through interactions with the passivation material molecules, the polar solvents break down the solid-state structure of the material, making it easier to disperse in the solvent and form a uniform solution, facilitating subsequent deposition or coating. However, polar solvents may have adverse effects on perovskite materials. Therefore, mixing them with non-polar solvents can balance dissolution capacity and the need to protect the perovskite, achieving efficient and stable deposition of the passivation layer. Selecting the aforementioned polar solvents is a prerequisite for ensuring the complete dissolution of the passivation layer material and is also key to achieving a uniform and dense passivation layer. By using polar solvents such as IPA, NBA, or isooctanol, a stable and uniform passivation layer solution can be formed, allowing for the fabrication of a high-quality passivation layer through deposition processes, effectively improving the photoelectric performance and environmental stability of perovskite tandem solar cells.
[0041] The introduction of the aforementioned non-polar solvent is intended to reduce the negative impact of traditional polar solvents on perovskite films, particularly the potential damage from moisture and oxygen. These non-polar solvents have low polarity and low moisture content; when mixed with the passivation layer material, they can reduce the overall polarity of the solution, minimizing damage to the perovskite layer while maintaining sufficient solubility.
[0042] To better enhance the film quality of the first passivation layer, the mass ratio of the polar solvent to the non-polar solvent is (60~90):(10~40). By adjusting the ratio of the polar and non-polar portions of the solvent, good dissolution and deposition of the passivation layer material are ensured, while the perovskite layer is protected from excessive influence by the polar solvent, thereby improving the uniformity of the passivation layer and the overall performance of the film.
[0043] The preparation of the first transparent conductive layer in step S2 above can be achieved through the following steps: The material of the first transparent conductive layer is sputtered onto the base cell using a magnetron sputtering process to form the first transparent conductive layer. The power of the magnetron sputtering process is 200~600W. During the magnetron sputtering process, a preset gas is introduced, which includes at least one of the following: argon and hydrogen. Magnetron sputtering is a highly efficient thin film deposition technique, especially suitable for the preparation of transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) such as ITO. By adjusting the sputtering power (200~600W) and the type of gas introduced (argon, hydrogen, or an argon-hydrogen mixture), the deposition rate, thin film structure, and conductivity of the first transparent conductive layer can be controlled. Argon, as an inert gas, is used to generate plasma and promote material sputtering; while the addition of hydrogen helps to reduce oxygen defects in the oxide, lower resistivity, and improve transparency.
[0044] When argon is used as the gas, it acts as an inert gas, effectively generating plasma and promoting the sputtering process, but may result in relatively high film resistance. When argon and hydrogen are used, the addition of hydrogen helps reduce oxygen defects in the oxide, thereby lowering the film resistivity and improving conductivity. Simultaneously, hydrogen also promotes film densification and improves transparency. In this case, argon and hydrogen are typically introduced into the sputtering chamber simultaneously, and the flow rate ratio needs to be optimized to achieve the best film performance. When using an argon-hydrogen mixture, the combined effect of argon and hydrogen can improve both the conductivity and transparency of the film, making it particularly suitable for preparing high-quality transparent conductive layers. The flow rate ratio of the mixture also needs to be adjusted according to the specific process. Suitable flow rates for argon, hydrogen, and argon-hydrogen are 140±20 sccm, 3.4±1 sccm, and 60±5 sccm, respectively.
[0045] The hole transport layer in step S2 above can be prepared through the following steps:
[0046] The material of the first hole transport layer is sputtered onto the first transparent conductive layer using a magnetron sputtering process to form the first hole transport layer. The power of the magnetron sputtering process is 1000~2000W, and argon gas is introduced during the magnetron sputtering process. The material of the first hole transport layer is NiOx, the flow rate of argon gas can be 400~450sccm, the deposition temperature is 160~200℃, and the thickness is 40~60nm.
[0047] A second hole transport layer is formed on the side of the first hole transport layer away from the bottom cell using a vapor deposition process. The evaporation rate is 0.3–0.5 Å / s. The first and second hole transport layers together form the hole transport layer. The second hole transport layer is a self-assembled monolayer (SAM), and the material can be 4PACD, 4PACZ, or 2PACZ. These SAM materials can serve as molecular bridging interfaces, optimizing the contact between the NiOx layer and the subsequent perovskite layer, reducing defects at the interface, and improving the overall device performance. The thickness of the deposited second hole transport layer is approximately 1–2 nm. The vapor deposition process parameters are as follows: evaporation rate 0.3–0.5 Å / s, vacuum 1–2 × 10⁻⁶. -5 The solution is annealed in air at 100°C for 5 minutes to form a molecular bridging interface, and then washed twice with IPA.
[0048] The perovskite layer in step S2 above can be prepared by the following steps:
[0049] Lead iodide and lead bromide powders are mixed to obtain a mixed powder. The mixed powder and cesium bromide powder are then deposited onto the side of the electron transport layer away from the bottom cell using a vapor deposition process. The vapor deposition rate of the mixed powder can be 3~4 Å / s, and the vapor deposition rate of the cesium bromide powder can be 0.5~0.6 Å / s.
[0050] Specifically, lead iodide and lead bromide powders are mixed in a certain ratio, such as PbI2:PbBr2 = (0.75~0.85:0.1~0.15), for example, 0.85:0.15. The mixed powder of PbI2 and PbBr2, along with CsBr, is deposited using a line source. The evaporation rates are 3~4 Å / s and 0.5~0.6 Å / s, respectively, and the thickness of the deposited film is 500 nm. The prepared structure is transferred to the next chamber, where an organic ammonium salt (containing potassium hexafluorophosphate KPF6) is deposited at an evaporation rate of 0.5~1 Å / s. The mixture is then annealed in air at 100°C for 15 min to form a perovskite layer. By precisely controlling the evaporation rate and powder ratio, the resulting perovskite layer exhibits excellent light absorption and carrier transport properties. Simultaneously, the presence of the passivation layer effectively suppresses ion migration and surface defects within the perovskite layer, further optimizing the photoelectric conversion efficiency and long-term operational stability of the perovskite tandem solar cell. This method of perovskite layer fabrication, combined with the design of the passivation layer and other functional layers, constitutes the core technical characteristic of the perovskite tandem solar cell and plays a decisive role in improving the overall performance of the cell.
[0051] The electron transport layer can be prepared by depositing the electron transport layer material (such as TiO2, PCBM, or C60) onto the first passivation layer using a vapor deposition method. The film thickness can be 10-20 nm. The process parameters are as follows: evaporation rate of 0.1-0.3 Å / s; vacuum level below 5 × 10⁻⁶. -4 Pa. The preparation method of the second transparent conductive layer is the same as that of the first transparent conductive layer, and will not be repeated. The first electrode can be prepared by screen printing, and the material of the first electrode can be Au, Ag, Cu, or Al.
[0052] According to another embodiment of this application, a perovskite tandem solar cell is provided, which is prepared using the perovskite tandem solar cell preparation method described above. Figure 2 As shown, the perovskite tandem solar cell, from bottom to top, includes: a bottom cell 10, a first transparent conductive layer 20, a hole transport layer 30, a perovskite layer 40, a first passivation layer 50, an electron transport layer 60, a second transparent conductive layer 70, and a first electrode 80. The bottom cell 10 includes a second electrode 11, and the hole transport layer is a composite film layer including a first hole transport layer and a self-assembled monolayer.
[0053] The photovoltaic module described above in this application will be specifically described below with reference to specific embodiments and comparative examples.
