[0045] The foregoing description of this application is not intended to describe every disclosed implementation or method. Instead, the following description provides more specific examples of exemplary embodiments. Throughout the application, guidance is provided through a series of embodiments that can be used in various combinations. The examples listed are representative only and should not be construed as exhaustive.
[0046] Currently, hole transport materials (HTMs) in perovskite solar cells are mainly classified into three categories: inorganic hole transport materials, organic small molecule hole transport materials, and organic polymer hole transport materials. Among them, organic small molecule hole transport materials have become the most common type in perovskite solar cells due to their advantages such as diverse synthesis methods, tunable properties, high purity, and ease of solution handling. However, because organic small molecule hole transport materials have a rigid structure, they have low tolerance to perovskite precursor solutions. Consequently, perovskite films formed adjacent to these small molecule hole transport materials are prone to pinhole morphological defects, resulting in poor film formation and instability under external stimuli. In addition, many small molecule hole transport materials require the addition of dopants during use. These factors all pose obstacles to the large-scale commercialization of perovskite solar cells. To solve these technical problems, the inventors have proposed the following technical solution in this application.
[0047] Firstly, this application provides a perovskite solar cell, see [link to previous application]. Figure 1 It includes a perovskite light-absorbing layer 11 and a first charge transport layer 10 disposed on one side of the perovskite light-absorbing layer 11. The first charge transport layer 10 contains a hole transport material, which includes a compound represented by Formula I:
[0048] Formula I,
[0049] In Formula I, X is selected from O, S, single bonds, and One of them, n is an integer from 2 to 4, and * represents the connection site.
[0050] In the hole transport material of Formula I provided in this application, a pyrene group is used as the end group to construct a conjugated framework, and a fused ring aromatic hydrocarbon structure is adopted to form a peri-fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon system. Chemical inertness is achieved through a pure carbon framework, which enhances the intermolecular π-π stacking interaction. As a result, the three-dimensional conjugated system in the molecular structure provides stronger structural rigidity, which can effectively suppress the molecular reconstruction phenomenon during the use of the material, thereby helping to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency, stability and lifespan of perovskite solar cells.
[0051] Meanwhile, in this material, phosphate groups can serve as anchoring units for hole transport materials, thereby improving the material's solubility, processability, and wettability. The material's good wettability also allows for better wettability to perovskite precursor solutions. Furthermore, groups with planar rigid structures (such as carbazole and phenothiazine groups) in this hole transport material are not easily dissolved by perovskite precursor solutions, thus exhibiting good tolerance to perovskite precursor solutions. This reduces defects in the perovskite thin film formed on the hole transport material, lowers the interface trap density, optimizes interface contact, and improves the crystallinity and stability of the perovskite light-absorbing layer. Ultimately, this contributes to improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency, stability, and lifespan of perovskite solar cells.
[0052] Furthermore, since this hole transport material can reduce interface defects and optimize interface contact, it does not require the addition of dopants needed for traditional small molecule hole transport materials, and it has good repeatability, which is conducive to the large-scale commercial application of perovskite solar cells.
[0053] In some embodiments, the hole transport material comprises one or more compounds represented by Formula I-1, Formula I-2, Formula I-3 and Formula I-4:
[0054] Equation I-1,
[0055] Equation I-2,
[0056] Equation I-3,
[0057] Equation I-4.
[0058] Hole transport materials comprising at least one compound of formulas I-1 to I-4 exhibit good tolerance and wettability to perovskite precursor solutions, which can reduce pinhole morphology defects in the perovskite light-absorbing layer formed adjacent to the hole transport material, lower the interface trap density, and improve the crystallinity and stability of the perovskite light-absorbing layer. Furthermore, at least one compound of formulas I-1 to I-4 can effectively suppress molecular reconstruction phenomena during material use. At the same time, the hole transport material has a high carrier mobility, which is beneficial for hole extraction and transport. Thus, it is beneficial to comprehensively improve the stability and photoelectric conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells.
[0059] In some embodiments, the hole transport material comprises one or more compounds represented by formulas 1 to 12:
[0060] Formula 1, Equation 2, Formula 3,
[0061] Equation 4, Equation 5, Formula 6,
[0062] Equation 7, Formula 8, Formula 9,
[0063] Formula 10, Formula 11, Equation 12.
[0064] At least one compound from Formulas 1 to 12 can effectively suppress molecular reconstruction during the use of the material. Furthermore, the hole transport material exhibits good tolerance and wettability to the perovskite precursor solution, which is beneficial for promoting the crystallization and growth of perovskite grains and forming perovskite grains with a larger average grain size. This facilitates the close arrangement of perovskite grains, reduces boundary defects between grains, and consequently reduces pinhole morphology defects in the perovskite light-absorbing layer formed adjacent to the hole transport material. This lowers the interface trap density, improves the crystallinity and stability of the perovskite light-absorbing layer, and thus comprehensively improves the stability and photoelectric conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells.
[0065] In some embodiments, the perovskite light-absorbing layer comprises a perovskite material, the perovskite material comprising the compound ABY3, wherein A ions are monovalent cations, B ions are divalent cations, and Y ions are monovalent anions;
[0066] The A ion includes organic cations and Li. + Na + K + 、Rb + and Cs + One or more of the following; further, the organic cation includes at least one of methylamino, ethylamino, propylamino, butylamino, pentamino, hexamino, formamidinyl and imidazolyl;
[0067] The B ions include Pb. 2+ Sn 2+ Be 2+ Mg 2+ Ca 2+ 、Sr 2+ Ba 2+ Zn 2+ 、Ge 2+ Fe 2+ Co 2+ Cu 2+ and Ni 2+ One or more of the following;
[0068] The Y ions include F - Cl - ,Br - and I - One or more of them.
[0069] In some embodiments, the perovskite light-absorbing layer comprises perovskite grains with an average grain size of 50 nm to 800 nm, optionally 300 nm to 500 nm. For example, the average grain size of the perovskite grains can be 50 nm, 91 nm, 152 nm, 263 nm, 374 nm, 485 nm, 596 nm, 617 nm, 728 nm, 800 nm, or any value within the range above. An average grain size within this range is beneficial for the close packing of perovskite grains, thus reducing boundary defects between grains, lowering interface trap density, and improving the crystallinity and stability of the perovskite light-absorbing layer, thereby improving the stability and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell.
[0070] In some embodiments, the HOMO level of the hole transport material is 8.70 × 10⁻⁶. -5 eV ~1.65×10 - 4 eV, selectable as 8.80×10 -5 eV ~1.65×10 -4 eV. For example, the HOMO level of hole transport materials can be 8.70 × 10⁻⁶ eV. - 5 eV, 9.80×10 -5 eV, 1.01×10 -4 eV, 1.12×10 -4 eV, 1.23×10 -4 eV, 1.34×10 -4 eV, 1.45×10 - 4 eV, 1.56×10 -4 eV, 1.65×10 -4 eV or within any of the above values. Thus, the hole transport material possesses a deep HOMO energy level, which facilitates better matching with the energy levels of the perovskite light-absorbing layer, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell.
[0071] In some embodiments, the surface roughness of the perovskite light-absorbing layer adjacent to the first charge transport layer is 12 nm to 25 nm, optionally 15 nm to 20 nm. For example, the roughness can be 12 nm, 15 nm, 17 nm, 21 nm, 23 nm, 25 nm, or within any range of the above values. The hole transport material of this application is beneficial for improving the film-forming properties of the perovskite light-absorbing layer, enabling the surface adjacent to the perovskite light-absorbing layer and the first charge transport layer to have a relatively small roughness, thereby reducing the defect density at the interface and improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell.
[0072] In some implementations, see Figure 1 The perovskite solar cell further includes a second charge transport layer 13 disposed on the other side of the perovskite light-absorbing layer 11, the second charge transport layer 13 containing an electron transport material.
[0073] The second charge transport layer contains electron transport materials, which facilitates the transport and extraction of electrons. This, in turn, facilitates the transport and recombination of electrons and holes between the first charge transport layer, the perovskite light-absorbing layer, and the second charge transport layer, thereby enabling the perovskite solar cell to have a high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0074] In some embodiments, the electron transport material includes fullerene C60, fullerene C70, and PC. 61 BM ([6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyrate methyl ester), [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyrate methyl ester (PC) 71 One or more of BM).
[0075] In some implementations, see Figure 1 The perovskite solar cell further includes a first electrode 12 and a second electrode 16; the first electrode 12 is disposed on the side of the first charge transport layer 10 away from the perovskite light-absorbing layer 11, and the second electrode 16 is disposed on the side of the second charge transport layer 13 away from the perovskite light-absorbing layer 11.
[0076] In some embodiments, one of the first electrode and the second electrode is a transparent electrode for light incident. One of the first electrode and the second electrode is used to collect electron carriers, and the other is used to collect hole carriers.
[0077] In some embodiments, the first electrode is a transparent electrode; optionally, the first electrode comprises ITO glass, and the second electrode comprises a metal electrode. In this case, the perovskite solar cell has an inverted structure, and the perovskite light-absorbing layer is fabricated on a hole transport material. Because the hole transport material has good tolerance and wettability to the perovskite precursor solution, coating the perovskite precursor solution onto the hole transport material can reduce defects in the formed perovskite light-absorbing layer, lower the interface trap density, and improve the crystallinity and stability of the perovskite light-absorbing layer. Thus, in the inverted perovskite solar cell, the hole transport material has a better effect on improving the perovskite light-absorbing layer.
[0078] Secondly, this application provides a tandem solar cell, including a bottom cell and a top cell stacked together, wherein the top cell is the perovskite solar cell described in the first aspect of this application.
[0079] Thirdly, this application provides a photovoltaic module, including at least one of the perovskite solar cells described in the first aspect of this application and the tandem cells described in the second aspect of this application.
[0080] Fourthly, this application provides a method for preparing a hole transport material, which can be used to prepare the hole transport material described in the first aspect of this application, and may include the following steps:
[0081] The reactant II and compound III undergo a Suzuki coupling reaction to produce compound IV;

[0084] Formula IV,
[0085] Formula I,
[0086] In Formula III, R1 is selected from halogen atoms, and can be Br atoms;
[0087] In Formula I, X is selected from O, S, single bonds, and One of them, n is an integer from 2 to 4, and * represents the connection site.
[0088] The above preparation methods are simple in synthesis steps, low in cost, and have good reproducibility, which is conducive to the large-scale preparation of hole transport materials and perovskite solar cells.
[0089] In some embodiments, the preparation method of the compound of formula III may include the following steps:
[0090] The compound of formula II undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction to generate the compound of formula III;
[0091] Formula II,
[0092] In Formula II, R2 is selected from halogen atoms, and can be Br atoms.

[0188] The perovskite solar cells prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were subjected to relevant performance tests, and the test results are shown in Table 1 below. In Table 1, "roughness" refers to the roughness of the surface adjacent to the perovskite light-absorbing layer and the hole transport layer, and "average grain size" refers to the average grain size of the perovskite grains.
[0189] The test conditions or standards for each performance test item are as follows:
[0190] (1) HOMO level test of hole transport materials
[0191] Five mg of hole transport material was dissolved in a 0.1 mol / L solution of tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate (Bu4NPF6) in dichloromethane, and calibrated using ferrocene as an external standard. Cyclic voltammetry curves were obtained on an electrochemical workstation at a purge rate of 0.01 V / s. The redox potentials of the curves were analyzed, and the HOMO level of the material was calculated using the formula.
[0192] (2) Roughness test of perovskite layer
[0193] The surface morphology of the perovskite thin film samples prepared on the hole transport layer was photographed using an atomic force microscope.
[0194] (3) Average grain size test of perovskite grains
[0195] Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to test the perovskite thin film. A test sample with a length × width of 50 mm × 100 mm is randomly selected on the perovskite thin film. Multiple test areas (e.g., 5) are randomly selected in the test sample. At a certain magnification (e.g., 1000x during measurement), the grain size of each perovskite grain in each test area is read (i.e., the distance between the two farthest points on the perovskite grain is taken as the grain size of the perovskite grain). The number and grain size of perovskite grains in each test area are counted. The arithmetic mean of the grain size of perovskite grains in each test area is taken as the average grain size of perovskite grains in the test sample.
[0196] (4) Photovoltaic conversion efficiency test of tandem solar cells
[0197] Under normal temperature and pressure, and under standard simulated sunlight (AM 1.5G, 100 milliwatts per square centimeter (mW / cm²) 2 Under illumination, the battery performance was tested to obtain the IV curve (volt-ampere characteristic curve). Based on the IV curve and the data fed back by the testing equipment (four-channel digital source meter, Keithley 2440), the short-circuit current density Jsc (mA / cm2), open-circuit voltage Voc (volts (V)), maximum light output current Jmpp (mA (mA)), maximum light output voltage Vmpp (V) and series resistance (Ω) can be obtained.
[0198] The fill factor FF of the battery can be calculated using the formula FF = Jsc × Voc / (Jmpp × Vmpp), in percentage. The photoelectric conversion efficiency PCE of the battery can be calculated using the formula PCE = Jsc × Voc × FF / Pw, in percentage; Pw represents the input power, in milliwatts (mW).
[0199] "Normal temperature and pressure" refers to normal pressure: the pressure is one atmosphere at a temperature of 25℃; normal temperature refers to 20℃ to 30℃, and further, it can be 25℃.

Furthermore, the comparison between Examples 1-6 and Comparative Example 1 shows that the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of Examples 1-6 are significantly better than those of Comparative Example 1, indicating that the hole transport material of this application using pyrene groups as end groups is beneficial for further improving photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability.
[0205] Depend on Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the perovskite grains grown based on Py-2 are relatively uniform in size and large in size, and are densely packed with no obvious boundary defects. This indicates that the hole transport material provided in this application can promote the crystallization and growth of the perovskite film during the perovskite preparation process, and can effectively cover the hole transport layer completely, suppressing the severe charge recombination defects caused by direct contact between the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer, which is beneficial to improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
