Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solar cell technology, specifically relating to a fibrous perovskite solar cell, its preparation method, and a tandem solar cell. Background Technology
[0002] With rapid societal development and increasingly severe climate change, dependence on energy has intensified, making the development of renewable and affordable energy sources urgently needed. The International Renewable Energy Agency's "World Energy Transition Outlook 2022" report states that renewable energy's share of global electricity supply will increase from 25% in 2018 to 65% by 2030. Solar energy, as an ideal alternative to traditional energy sources, has attracted widespread attention. However, compared to traditional energy sources, solar energy's contribution to global energy development remains negligible, and the development of related technologies faces numerous severe challenges, such as low efficiency, poor stability, high cost, and difficulty in large-scale continuous production.
[0003] Due to the increasing demand for modern electronic products, integrated optoelectronic products are emerging in the form of lightweight, portable, and intelligent goods. In recent years, wearable / portable electronic products have seen a surge in demand. Integrating power generation devices such as solar cells into wearable devices or weaving them into clothing, combined with energy storage devices such as lithium batteries, enables uninterrupted operation around the clock. Whether integrated into wearable devices or woven into clothing, fibrous flexible solar cells are the most ideal device form. In military operations in northern regions without stable power supply and in harsh conditions in remote mountainous areas, integrating fibrous solar cells with energy storage devices into clothing can provide a power pack, solving the problem of continuous power supply for unreliable wearable devices. Therefore, the development and utilization of fibrous solar cells is currently an urgent need.
[0004] Traditional perovskite solar cells (PSCs) employ a layered structure. For example, patent JP2017224815A discloses a composite material comprising a perovskite compound and conductive nanofibers coated with metal oxides. This patent uses a PN junction for carrier transport, representing a traditional layered fiber perovskite structure with high electron transport efficiency, but a small specific surface area and severe charge recombination. Therefore, layered structures are difficult to deposit on fibers. Patent CN104103759A discloses a fibrous solar cell based on a perovskite-type organolead iodine compound. In its radial direction, from the inside out, it comprises titanium wires, a titanium dioxide layer, a perovskite-type organolead iodine compound layer, a conductive polymer layer, and a nanotube thin film layer. The cell is fibrous, with the perovskite-type organolead iodine compound serving as the primary photoelectric conversion material, and titanium wires and carbon nanotubes as the cell electrodes. In this patent, the perovskite-type organolead iodine compound layer is directly deposited between the titanium dioxide layer and the conductive polymer layer, resulting in severe charge recombination problems between the perovskite and the transport layer.
[0005] Therefore, how to avoid the difficulty of depositing layered structures on fibrous perovskite solar cells, while increasing the surface contact area between the fibrous perovskite light-absorbing layer and the transport layer to improve device performance, is an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a fibrous perovskite solar cell, its fabrication method, and a tandem solar cell. The present invention employs a porous first and second carrier transport support layer to construct the support structure, allowing the perovskite light-absorbing layer to fill within both layers. This not only avoids layered deposition but also increases the surface contact area between the fibrous perovskite light-absorbing layer and the transport layer, thereby significantly improving the photocontact surface area of the cell. This facilitates photoelectron contact and transfer, while reducing charge recombination and energy loss, resulting in a significant improvement in the device's photoelectric performance.
[0007] To achieve this objective, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0009] The fibrous perovskite solar cell further includes a perovskite light-absorbing layer. The first carrier transport support layer and the second carrier transport support layer have a porous structure, and the perovskite light-absorbing layer fills the first carrier transport support layer and the second carrier transport support layer.
[0010] This invention employs a porous first carrier transport support layer and a second carrier transport support layer to construct the support structure, allowing the perovskite light-absorbing layer to fill within the first and second carrier transport support layers. This not only avoids layered deposition but also increases the surface contact area between the fibrous perovskite light-absorbing layer and the transport layer, thereby significantly increasing the light contact specific surface area of the battery. This is beneficial for the contact and transfer of photoelectrons, while reducing charge recombination and energy loss, resulting in a significant improvement in the photoelectric performance of the device.
[0011] It should be noted that the porous structure includes structures with open porosity, which is an indicator used to evaluate the properties of porous materials.

[0024] It should be noted that the X in NiOx refers to the Ni in NiOx. 3+ with Ni 2+ The content of valence state ions is different.
[0025] Preferably, the thickness of the hole transport scaffold layer is 2-3 μm, for example, it can be 2 μm, 2.0 μm, 2.4 μm, 2.6 μm, 2.8 μm or 3 μm, etc.
[0026] Preferably, a dense first carrier transport layer is further disposed between the first electrode and the first carrier transport support layer.
[0027] The first carrier transport support layer and the dense first carrier transport layer transport the same charge.
[0028] In this invention, the purpose of setting a dense first carrier transport layer is to prevent the perovskite from directly contacting the electrode layer.

[0030] Preferably, the dense electron transport layer comprises a dense TiO2 layer.
[0031] Preferably, the thickness of the dense first carrier transport layer is 30-100nm, for example, it can be 30nm, 40nm, 50nm, 60nm, 70nm, 80nm, 90nm or 100nm.
[0032] Preferably, the chemical formula of the perovskite light-absorbing layer is ABX3, where A is CH3NH3. + CH(NH2)2 + Cs + or Rb + B is any combination of one or at least two of the following, where B is Pb. 2+ Sn 2+ Or Ge 2+ Any combination of one or at least two of them, X is Cl - ,Br - or I - Any one or at least two of them.

[0035] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a fibrous perovskite solar cell as described in the first aspect, the method comprising the following steps:
[0036] (a) A first carrier transport support layer is fabricated on the first electrode, then a second carrier transport support layer is fabricated, and then a second electrode is fabricated on the second carrier transport support layer;
[0037] (b) The perovskite precursor solution is placed into the first carrier transport support layer and the first carrier transport support layer, and after annealing, the fibrous perovskite solar cell is obtained.
[0038] The present invention does not limit the preparation method of the first carrier transport support layer and the second carrier transport support layer in step (a). For example, it can be any one of magnetron sputtering, screen printing, vacuum thermal evaporation or ALD atomic deposition.

[0041] In this invention, if the concentration of the perovskite precursor solution is too low, the growth rate of the perovskite film will be slow and the film thickness will be small; if the concentration of the perovskite precursor solution is too high, the deposition rate will gradually increase and the film thickness will gradually increase. However, excessively high solution concentration will also lead to particles and cracks on the film surface.
[0042] Preferably, before the perovskite precursor solution in step (b) is placed, the semi-finished product obtained in step (a) is annealed. The annealing temperature is 300-500℃, for example, 300℃, 350℃, 400℃, 450℃ or 500℃, and the holding time is 30-50min, for example, 30min, 35min, 40min, 45min or 50min.
[0043] Preferably, the annealing temperature in step (b) is 50-100℃, for example, 50℃, 60℃, 70℃, 80℃, 90℃ or 100℃, and the holding time is 8-12min, for example, 8min, 9min, 10min, 11min or 12min.
[0044] In this invention, the selection of annealing temperature and time has a direct impact on the crystallization degree and morphology of perovskite films. Appropriate annealing temperature and time can promote the crystallization of perovskite films and improve their quality and performance. Excessively high annealing temperature may lead to oxygen vacancy defects and pinholes, while excessively low annealing temperature may lead to a decrease in crystallinity, affecting the quality and performance of the film.
[0045] Preferably, the preparation method includes the following steps:
[0046] (a1) The conductive fibers are pretreated, and then the pretreated conductive fibers are mixed with a dense electron transport layer material and heat-treated at 800-1300℃ for 15-30 min to form a dense electron transport layer with a thickness of 30-100 nm.
[0047] (b1) An electron transport scaffold layer with a thickness of 700-1000 nm is deposited on the dense electron transport layer; then a hole transport scaffold layer with a thickness of 2-3 μm is deposited on the electron transport scaffold layer; then a porous conductive layer with a thickness of 20-25 μm is deposited on the hole transport scaffold layer.
[0048] (c1) Anneal the semi-finished product obtained in step (b1) at a temperature of 300-500℃ for a holding time of 30-50 minutes.
[0049] (d1) A perovskite precursor solution with a concentration of 1-1.5 mol / L is injected into the support structure obtained in step (c1), and wrapped with heat shrink tubing. The solution is then annealed at 50-100°C for 8-12 minutes to obtain the fibrous perovskite solar cell.
[0050] Thirdly, the present invention provides a tandem solar cell, the tandem solar cell comprising a base cell and a fibrous perovskite solar cell as described in the first aspect.
[0051] Preferably, an intermediate composite layer is further disposed between the bottom cell and the fibrous perovskite solar cell, the intermediate composite layer comprising a transparent metal oxide. Examples include ITO (indium tin oxide), IZO (indium zinc oxide), AZO (aluminum-doped zinc oxide), or ICO (cerium-doped indium oxide).
[0052] The numerical range described in this invention includes not only the point values listed above, but also any point values within the numerical ranges not listed above. Due to space limitations and for the sake of brevity, this invention will not exhaustively list all the specific point values included in the range.
[0053] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0054] This invention employs a porous first carrier transport support layer and a second carrier transport support layer to construct the support structure, allowing the perovskite light-absorbing layer to fill within the first and second carrier transport support layers. This not only avoids layered deposition but also increases the surface contact area between the fibrous perovskite light-absorbing layer and the transport layer, thereby significantly increasing the light contact specific surface area of the battery. This is beneficial for the contact and transfer of photoelectrons, while reducing charge recombination and energy loss, resulting in a significant improvement in the photoelectric performance of the device.

[0138] Performance testing
[0139] The fibrous perovskite solar cells provided in the above embodiments and comparative examples were subjected to open-circuit voltage tests, short-circuit current tests, fill factor tests, and conversion efficiency tests. The test conditions were in accordance with the China Photovoltaic Industry Association group standard "Measurement Method of Current-Voltage (IV) Characteristics of Perovskite Photovoltaic Cells and Modules".
[0140] Specifically, a G2V Pico light source with an AAA rating was selected. Current and voltage data were collected using a source meter, and the fill factor and conversion efficiency were calculated based on the current-voltage curve. The efficiency degradation test was conducted under AAA-rated illumination at a standard AM1.5 intensity, i.e., 1000 W / m². 2 .
[0141] The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0144] analyze:
[0145] As shown in the table above, the present invention uses a porous first carrier transport support layer and a porous second carrier transport support layer to construct the support structure, so that the perovskite light-absorbing layer fills the first and second carrier transport support layers and also fills the porous electrode. This not only avoids layered deposition, but also significantly increases the optical contact surface area of the battery, which is beneficial to the contact and transfer of photoelectrons. At the same time, it reduces charge recombination and energy loss, thus significantly improving the photoelectric performance of the device.
[0146] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 4, if the mesoporous carbon electrode is replaced with a dense carbon layer, the perovskite light-absorbing layer cannot fill the carbon electrode, which is not conducive to the transport of charge carriers, resulting in a certain degree of decrease in voltage and current.
[0147] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 5, if a dense TiO2 layer is not provided, it is impossible to prevent the diffusion of external impurities and air molecules inside the film, thereby protecting the internal materials from contamination and oxidation, resulting in a decrease in photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0148] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 6-7, if the concentration of the perovskite precursor solution is too low, the growth rate of the perovskite film will be slow, the film thickness will be small, resulting in high current and low voltage, thus reducing the photoelectric conversion efficiency. If the concentration of the perovskite precursor solution is too high, the deposition rate will gradually increase and the film thickness will gradually increase at high concentrations. However, excessively high solution concentrations will also cause particles and cracks to appear on the film surface, resulting in low current and high voltage, thus reducing the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0149] As can be seen from Examples 1 and 8-9, if the annealing temperature in step (4) is too low, the crystallinity will decrease, affecting the quality of the film and the performance of the device; if the annealing temperature in step (4) is too high, oxygen vacancy defects and pinholes will occur, which will lead to low photoelectric conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells.
[0150] As can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of Example 1 is 1.32 percentage points higher than that of Comparative Example 1. Due to the use of a mesoporous fibrous perovskite preparation method, the resulting battery has a larger specific surface area, which is beneficial for the contact and transfer of photoelectrons, while reducing charge recombination and energy loss, thus improving the efficiency of the device to a certain extent.
[0151] In summary, the technical solution provided by this invention offers another novel and feasible approach for the preparation of fibrous perovskites, and is comparable to traditional fibrous perovskite methods.

Those skilled in the art should understand that any improvements to the present invention, equivalent substitutions of the raw materials used in the present invention, addition of auxiliary components, selection of specific methods, etc., all fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present invention.
