Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solar cell technology, specifically relating to a method for realizing a high-efficiency UV-resistant perovskite photovoltaic device using a hybrid self-assembled monolayer hole transport layer. Background Technology
[0002] Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have demonstrated immense application potential in emerging photovoltaic technologies due to their superior photoelectric properties and low-cost fabrication. Currently, perovskite materials, with their tunable bandgap, strong light absorption, high carrier mobility, and long carrier diffusion length, have become ideal active layer materials for achieving high-efficiency photoelectric conversion. In recent years, the efficiency of single-junction PSC devices has rapidly increased from an initial 3.8% to 27.0% in just over a decade, approaching the theoretical Shockley-Queisser limit, making it one of the most competitive next-generation photovoltaic technologies.
[0003] In terms of device structure, compared with the traditional "upright structure" (nip), the "inverted structure" (pin) PSC has attracted increasing attention due to its low-temperature fabrication process, flexibility and compatibility, and higher interface controllability. Furthermore, because self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can form stable chemical bonds with electrode materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO) through their terminal groups such as phosphate or carboxylic acid, they can further regulate energy level arrangement, improve interface contact, suppress interface defects and non-radiative recombination, thereby significantly improving the open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current density and fill factor of the device. Using SAMs as hole-selective layers (HSLs) has become an important strategy for constructing high-performance inverted PSCs.
[0004] Existing technologies combine the two methods mentioned above, introducing SAM as a hole transport layer in inverted structure devices. While this has led to significant progress in the performance and structural optimization of perovskite solar cells, particularly in their photoelectric performance, two prominent problems remain:
[0005] (1) Long-term stability issues, especially the performance degradation under ultraviolet light irradiation, remain one of the key challenges restricting the practical application of PSCs: the perovskite active layer itself is easily induced to undergo degradation reactions under ultraviolet light (UV) excitation, such as halogen migration, phase separation or destruction of the surface passivation layer. In particular, wide-bandgap perovskites are more prone to UV-induced crystal structure destruction and phase instability. The interface region, especially the SAM / perovskite interface, is also prone to charge transport obstruction and interface recombination enhancement due to chemical bond breakage, interface energy level drift or molecular rearrangement under UV excitation, thereby aggravating the device performance degradation.
[0006] (2) Single SAM materials usually cannot simultaneously possess excellent performance in terms of energy level matching, interface passivation ability, chemical stability and light stability, that is, it is difficult to balance device efficiency and operational stability: some SAMs with strong interfacial bonding and good energy level matching (such as MeO-2PACz, Me-4PACz, etc.) may be unstable under ultraviolet light, easily generating decomposition products or even forming an interfacial insulating layer, affecting the carrier extraction efficiency; while some aromatic structure SAMs with good ultraviolet stability have weak adhesion to the electrode or cannot effectively control the band arrangement, resulting in limited initial device efficiency.
[0007] In summary, we consider developing a hybrid SAM strategy and propose a method for constructing a hole transport layer based on hybrid SAM. Summary of the Invention
[0008] This invention aims to address the aforementioned problems by proposing a method for achieving high-efficiency, UV-resistant perovskite photovoltaic devices using a hybrid self-assembled monolayer hole transport layer. This method synergistically modifies the interface with two or more SAM molecules possessing complementary properties, providing an effective way to balance efficiency and stability. The hybrid SAM not only combines the advantages of different molecules in interface energy level modulation, carrier selectivity, UV stability, and chemical binding forces, but also adjusts the molecular packing structure and surface polarity, thereby optimizing the interface microenvironment and enhancing interface stability. This strategy is expected to significantly improve the lifetime and UV stability of perovskite devices without sacrificing initial device efficiency, promoting their further development in practical applications.

Specifically, 2-phenylethyl phosphoric acid exhibits high UV stability, effectively improving the device's light-induced stability; while (2-(pyrene-1-yl)ethyl)phosphonic acid possesses a good π-conjugated framework structure and vertical orientation capability, promoting the improvement of perovskite crystal quality, inhibiting the formation of grain boundary halogen vacancies, and reducing ion migration barriers, thereby significantly increasing the device's open-circuit voltage (V).

[0045] 2. The hybrid SAM layer constructed in this invention can effectively control the interface energy level structure: by adjusting the ratio of the two SAMs, the HOMO energy level of the hole transport layer is better matched with the energy level of the perovskite light-absorbing layer, thereby improving the hole extraction efficiency and suppressing interface charge recombination and charge accumulation. This synergistic control mechanism further improves the short-circuit current density (J / L) of the device. SC This improves both the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells, ultimately achieving a dual improvement in both efficiency and stability. Attached Figure Description

[0110] like Figure 9 As shown, (a) is the in-situ UV aging PL pattern of the 2-phenylethyl phosphate perovskite film, (b) is the in-situ UV aging PL pattern of the (2-(pyrene-1-yl)ethyl)phosphonic acid perovskite film, and (c) is the in-situ UV aging PL pattern of the mixed SAM-based perovskite film. The stability of the mixed SAM-based film under UV irradiation is significantly better than that of the control film using a single (2-(pyrene-1-yl)ethyl)phosphonic acid as the hole transport layer, showing a lower PL peak shift, indicating that it has a significant advantage in resisting UV aging.
[0111] The above research results indicate that the hybrid SAM strategy developed in this invention, through the synergistic effect of 2-phenylethyl phosphoric acid and (2-(pyrene-1-yl)ethyl)phosphonic acid, can significantly improve the crystallinity and surface morphology of perovskite films, and regulate the interfacial band structure, thereby effectively enhancing the photoelectric performance of the device. Simultaneously, the introduction of 2-phenylethyl phosphoric acid into the hybrid SAM structure enhances the chemical and photostability of the interface, enabling the device to maintain high performance output under ultraviolet light irradiation and significantly improving the device's lifetime. The hybrid SAM construction strategy provided by this invention offers a new approach to achieving efficient and stable perovskite solar cells, demonstrating good processability and promising prospects for industrial application.
[0112] The above description is merely a preferred experimental example of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
