Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of perovskite solar cell technology, specifically relating to a high-efficiency flexible perovskite solar cell based on laser annealing technology and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of modern technology, perovskite solar cells have become a shining star in the new energy field due to their advantages such as high efficiency, low cost, and ease of fabrication. In the fabrication of flexible perovskite solar cells, methods such as solution processing and spin coating are commonly used to prepare the perovskite light-absorbing layer. In existing technologies, a long-term, high-temperature thermal annealing process is required to obtain the ideal perovskite light-absorbing layer film. However, the perovskite light-absorbing layer film prepared by this high-temperature annealing and rapid crystallization method has a large number of defects in the bulk, grain boundaries, and interfaces, which is detrimental to the photovoltaic performance and stability of perovskite solar cells. It is worth noting that the traditional thermal annealing process requires a temperature of at least 150°C, which can damage the flexible substrate and is not conducive to the fabrication of flexible devices. At the same time, the traditional heat treatment process requires a holding time of about 1 hour, resulting in low yield and high energy consumption, which does not meet the requirements of sustainable green development. Therefore, how to develop a low-temperature, rapid processing method for perovskite light-absorbing layers has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

When using PbI2 solution and FAI solution to prepare perovskite films, the PbI2 solution is spin-coated first, followed by the FAI solution.
[0008] As a further optimization of the present invention, the laser annealing technology involves using a high-energy laser beam to irradiate the pretreated perovskite film to complete the crystallization process. The laser wavelength is 400-800 nm, and the power density is 0.1-10 W / cm². 2 The scanning speed is 10-100 mm / s, and the temperature is 25-150℃.
[0009] This invention also provides a method for fabricating a high-efficiency flexible perovskite solar cell based on laser annealing technology, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Provide a flexible substrate and form a metal oxide electron transport layer or hole transport layer on the flexible substrate; Step 2: Spin-coat a perovskite precursor solution onto a metal oxide electron transport layer or hole transport layer to form a pretreated perovskite film. Then, use laser annealing technology to crystallize the pretreated perovskite film to form a perovskite light absorption layer. Step 3: Form a metal oxide electron transport layer or hole transport layer on the perovskite light absorption layer; Step 4: Deposit a metal back electrode on the metal oxide electron transport layer or hole transport layer, and then encapsulate it to obtain a flexible perovskite solar cell.
[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, in steps one and three, SnO2 is spin-coated or grown in a water bath on a flexible substrate or perovskite light-absorbing layer, or C60 is thermally evaporated to form a metal oxide electron transport layer, and Spiro-OMeTAD solution is spin-coated or NiO is spin-coated on a flexible substrate or perovskite light-absorbing layer to form a hole transport layer.
[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, in step three, a layer of silver is deposited on the metal oxide electron transport layer or hole transport layer as a metal back electrode by thermal evaporation.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention discloses a rapid and precise crystallization process achieved by irradiating perovskite thin films with a high-energy laser beam, avoiding the damage to flexible substrates caused by traditional high-temperature annealing. This method not only improves production efficiency but also optimizes the performance and lifespan of the cells.

[0035] In summary, laser annealing is a method that uses a high-energy laser beam to irradiate perovskite thin films to achieve rapid crystallization. This method can not only complete the annealing process in a short time, but also precisely control the temperature gradient and heating rate, thereby optimizing the crystallization quality of the perovskite. Compared with traditional hot-stage annealing, laser annealing can avoid the damage to the material caused by prolonged high-temperature treatment, while improving production efficiency. Furthermore, laser annealing can achieve efficient crystallization at lower temperatures, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and stability of flexible substrates. In addition, laser annealing can also form uniform perovskite films on flexible substrates, thereby improving battery performance and lifespan. It is worth mentioning that laser annealing technology also has high flexibility and controllability. By adjusting parameters such as laser wavelength, power, and scanning speed, the crystallization process of perovskite thin films can be precisely controlled, thereby meeting the battery preparation requirements with different performance requirements. This high degree of customizability makes laser annealing technology have broad application prospects in the production of flexible perovskite batteries. The laser-annealed flexible perovskite solar cell fabrication method has brought revolutionary breakthroughs to the new energy field with its high efficiency, precision and flexibility. With the continuous progress and improvement of the technology, flexible perovskite solar cells will show their huge application potential and commercial value in more fields in the future.
