Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery technology, specifically relating to a flexible indoor photovoltaic cell module, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), smart homes, and wearable devices, indoor low-light photovoltaic (IPV) technology has emerged as a new direction in the renewable energy field. This technology utilizes indoor light sources (LEDs, fluorescent lamps, etc., 100-1000 lux) to power low-power electronic devices, offering advantages such as battery-free operation, self-powered operation, and sustainability. Due to its unique band structure and stability, it shows great potential in the field of indoor photovoltaics (IPV). Indoor low-light photovoltaics can be deposited at temperatures below 150°C, making them suitable for PET / PEN flexible substrates and meeting the needs of wearable electronics and smart homes. With collaborative innovation in materials, processes, and applications, indoor photovoltaics is expected to usher in a "battery-free electronics era" and become an important component of the green energy revolution.

[0003] Currently, the main strategy for achieving wide-bandgap perovskite materials is to replace some iodide ions with bromide ions in the perovskite composition. However, this indoor low-light photovoltaic system still faces key challenges in large-scale fabrication in air, such as halogen phase separation, solvent residue, and poor crystal quality, which severely restricts its commercialization. Uneven Br / I distribution: Under low indoor light, the concentration of photogenerated carriers is low, and halogen ions migrate more easily, forming an inactive phase, leading to performance degradation. Under illumination, iodide and bromide ions in wide-bandgap perovskites aggregate, resulting in phase separation. Phase separation leads to the formation of bromine-enriched and iodine-enriched regions, which become major carrier traps, severely reducing the efficiency and phase stability of indoor photovoltaics. Furthermore, defects on the perovskite surface also cause severe non-radiative recombination of carriers, further reducing the efficiency of wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells under indoor conditions.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to improve the phase stability of wide-bandgap perovskite materials and reduce the impact of surface defects on cell performance, thereby improving the efficiency of wide-bandgap perovskite indoor photovoltaics.

[0005] Relevant patent documents retrieved: For example, Chinese patent CN116887646A, published on July 18, 2023, discloses a flexible perovskite solar cell based on a full-slit coating process and its fabrication method, belonging to the field of perovskite solar cells. The fabrication method includes the following steps: sequentially fabricating a hole transport layer, a perovskite light-absorbing layer, and an electron transport layer on a flexible conductive substrate using a full-solution slit coating method, or sequentially fabricating an electron transport layer, a perovskite light-absorbing layer, and a hole transport layer on a flexible conductive substrate using the same method. The full-solution slit coating method used in this invention is simple and can save materials and costs to the greatest extent. Moreover, the flexible perovskite solar cell fabricated by this invention has excellent thermal and chemical stability, which will truly help realize the industrialization and marketization of flexible perovskite solar cells. However, the cell efficiency of this invention still needs to be improved.

[0006] Relevant non-patent literature retrieved: The journal or book title is *Journal of Chemical Industry and Engineering (China)*, and the article title is "Preparation of High-Performance Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cells Using Crystallization Quality Control Strategies," volume number 20251017.1859.002. This study introduced high-perovskite acid (HA) as a defect passivation additive into a wide-bandgap perovskite precursor solution, utilizing the carboxyl group and methoxy group containing lone pair electrons of HA to react with the Pb² of the perovskite. + The interaction reduces the defect state density of the thin film, improves perovskite crystallinity, and optimizes grain size. Ultimately, a perovskite solar cell (PSC) with a wide bandgap of 1.68 eV was fabricated, achieving a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.60%. The corresponding open-circuit voltage (VOC), short-circuit current (JSC), and short-circuit current (FF) are 1.215 V, 21.33 mA cm⁻¹, and 1.215 V, respectively. -2 And 79.53%. Compared to the reference device without added HA (VOC=1.189 V, JSC=19.96 mA cm⁻¹). -2 The battery efficiency was improved (FF=78.08%), with all performance parameters showing improvement, including an 11.11% increase in PCE and a reduction in hysteresis (2.8% vs 1.6%). More importantly, the device with added HA exhibited good storage stability in a glove box at 85±0.5℃. However, the battery efficiency in this study still needs further improvement.

[0007] In solving the above problems or overcoming the above defects, the present invention encountered the following difficulties and obstacles: Using DMF:DMSO mixed solvents presents unique technical challenges, primarily stemming from issues such as Br / I ratio control, solvent residue, and phase separation. In low-light formulations, conventional DMSO exhibits strong hygroscopicity and a slow solvent evaporation rate. Prolonged exposure of DMSO to moisture exacerbates the hydration reaction, rapidly adsorbing water to form a DMSO-H2O complex. This disrupts the coordination equilibrium between DMSO and PbI2, interferes with the exchange of FAI (formamidinium iodide) and PbI2 molecules, leading to disordered crystallization and the formation of impurity phases.

[0008] One of the key technologies for achieving large-scale indoor low-light solar cell production in air is replacing DMSO with NEP, NMP, or GBL. This avoids moisture absorption caused by DMSO residue and extends the processing window. Another key technology is the combined use of infrared pre-annealing and additives. By incorporating additives such as CsPb(SCN)2Cl, KSCN, GASCN, and Pb(SCN)2, SCN- ions migrate directionally to the grain boundaries under the photothermal effect of an infrared furnace, regulating vertical growth, reducing grain boundaries, and optimizing orientation. SCN- ions occupy I vacancies, delaying crystallization, suppressing phase segregation, and blocking moisture adsorption points. An 80℃ infrared pre-annealing process forms a hydrophobic barrier. Infrared pre-annealing, with wavelengths of 900-1200nm, selectively heats the perovskite phase (substrate temperature <50℃), completing solvent evaporation in 5-20 seconds, avoiding the moisture adsorption window, and providing low-temperature protection with a flexible substrate, adapting to flexible substrates. The above key technologies have enabled large-scale production of indoor photovoltaics in the air, significantly suppressed phase segregation problems, improved efficiency and stability in indoor photovoltaics, and promoted industrialization and application through a low-cost, scalable additive system.

[0060] Thirdly, the present invention also provides the application of the photovoltaic cell module prepared by the above method in the preparation of indoor low-light perovskite solar cells.

[0061] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention discloses a process for large-area fabrication of flexible indoor photovoltaic solar modules in air. The process involves the combined use of solvent selection, additive selection, and infrared furnace pre-annealing in the perovskite active layer formulation. Choosing a suitable solvent combination improves the yield of perovskite mesophase films. Low-temperature pre-annealing followed by high-temperature annealing yields the perovskite film. The solvent selection ensures the production of dense and continuous films for industrial-scale fabrication in air. The further introduction of additives improves the crystallinity quality and phase segregation suppression of wide-bandgap perovskite production in air. The gradient annealing process combining additives and an infrared furnace optimizes the perovskite crystallization kinetics, further improving crystallinity quality and grain size. Based on this method, high-performance, large-area flexible indoor low-light solar cells have been successfully fabricated in an air environment.

[0062] 2. This invention discovers that by precisely controlling the thickness of the perovskite active layer on a flexible substrate within the range of 550-750 nm and synergistically optimizing the thickness of the self-assembled monolayer, the performance of the device under low-light indoor conditions can be significantly improved. The optimal effect is achieved when the thickness of the perovskite active layer is 600-700 nm. This optimization is achieved by adjusting parameters such as the injection rate of the slit coating.

[0063] 3. This invention explores the thickness window of the perovskite layer: For the first time, it clearly reveals that there is an optimal perovskite active layer thickness window (550-750nm) for indoor low-light photovoltaic applications, with the optimal window being 600-700nm. This thickness ensures sufficient light absorption while avoiding the high series resistance problem caused by excessively thick layers, achieving the best balance between photocurrent generation and charge collection efficiency under low light conditions.

[0064] 4. Synergistic Optimization Strategy: A synergistic optimization concept for the thickness of the perovskite active layer and the self-assembled monolayer is proposed. By adjusting the coating parameters of the self-assembled monolayer (injection rate 5-10 μL / s) to achieve the optimal thickness, efficient hole extraction is ensured, perfectly matching the optimized thick active layer and jointly improving device performance.

[0065] 5. Strong correlation between process and structure: A repeatable and scalable preparation method was established to precisely achieve the optimal functional layer thickness by controlling key process parameters of slot coating (especially injection speed). This strongly correlates and protects the scientific discovery of "how thick to make" with the process technology of "how to make this thickness". Detailed Implementation

[0079] The results show that optimizing the perovskite phase thickness and the interface layer thickness in the embodiments of the present invention is key to achieving ultra-high efficiency (>34%). The thickness of the SAM layer needs to be precisely controlled. Too thick or too thin a layer will impair performance. This indicates that there is an optimal thickness coverage window for the SAM layer.

[0080] For indoor low-light perovskite solar cells, controlling the thickness of the perovskite light-absorbing layer to 600-700 nm achieves the optimal performance balance, resulting in a conversion efficiency exceeding 35%. This embodies the innovative concept of co-designing the bulk phase and interface.
