Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of perovskite solar cells, and in particular to a hole transport layer, a perovskite solar cell, and a method for its fabrication. Background Technology
[0002] With the global energy crisis and climate change becoming increasingly severe, the development and utilization of clean and renewable energy has become a consensus and an urgent need for countries around the world. Among numerous renewable energy sources, solar energy is considered a core pillar of the future energy structure due to its wide distribution, near-infinite reserves, and zero emissions. Solar cell technology, as a key carrier for directly converting solar energy into electricity, is undoubtedly the core of realizing this vision. In particular, perovskite solar cells, with their advantages of low cost, high efficiency, and adjustable bandgap, are considered one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies currently available.
[0003] Currently, with in-depth research and exploration of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), the efficiency of PiN-type perovskite solar cells has steadily improved. However, traditional SAMs often face some problems in practical applications, such as poor wettability, insufficient monolayer coverage, and numerous interface defects, which will greatly affect the performance and stability of PiN-type perovskite solar cells.
[0004] Specifically: 1. Traditional SAMs materials have inherent interface defects. While inverted perovskite solar cells based on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs, such as 2PACz and Me-4PACz) show promise, traditional single-component SAMs suffer from poor wettability and uneven coverage on the substrate surface during actual film formation. This leads to uneven spreading of the perovskite precursor solution, ultimately resulting in increased porosity and grain boundary defects in the perovskite film, which become centers for non-radiative recombination of charge carriers, severely limiting cell efficiency and stability.
[0005] 2. The crystallization quality of perovskite thin films needs to be improved. In the two-step fabrication of wide-bandgap perovskite thin films (especially for the top cell of tandem solar cells), incomplete reaction between inorganic salts (such as PbI2) and organic salts is a common problem, resulting in inactive PbI2 residues. These residues are not only defects in themselves, but also disrupt the integrity of the perovskite lattice, reduce light absorption and carrier lifetime, and thus limit the open-circuit voltage (VOC) and fill factor (FF) of the cell.
[0006] 3. The interface loss problem of stacked batteries is prominent. In perovskite / crystalline silicon tandem solar cells, the perovskite sub-cell, serving as the top cell, has even more stringent interface quality requirements. The aforementioned interface defects and thin film quality issues are further amplified in the tandem structure, leading to severe interface recombination and optical losses. This prevents the open-circuit voltage and efficiency of the tandem solar cell from reaching theoretically expected values, becoming one of the key bottlenecks for industrialization.
[0007] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the designer has actively researched and innovated in order to create a hole transport layer, a perovskite solar cell and a preparation method, so as to make it more industrially valuable. Summary of the Invention

[0061] Furthermore, the back electrode layer can be prepared by any one of vacuum evaporation, magnetron sputtering, screen printing, or inkjet printing.
[0062] Fourth embodiment of the present invention: like Figure 1 A method for fabricating a perovskite solar cell includes the following steps: Step 1: Provide a substrate (the substrate is glass covered with an ITO conductive layer or a crystalline silicon bottom cell with an ITO intermediate composite layer), and prepare a composite hole transport layer on the substrate; the composite hole transport layer includes an inorganic metal oxide layer and a co-self-assembled monolayer formed thereon, the co-self-assembled monolayer is composed of a self-assembled monolayer material and 3,5-bis(trifluoromethylphenylhydrazine) hydrochloride doped therein.
[0063] Step 1 includes the following steps in sequence: Step 11: Spin-coat hole transport layer material onto the substrate and anneal to form an inorganic metal oxide layer; wherein, the spin-coating parameters are 1800~2200 rpm for 28~32 s; the annealing parameters are annealing on a hot stage at 140~160℃ for 8~12 min; Step 12: Spin-coat the mixed solution onto the inorganic metal oxide layer, and anneal to form a co-self-assembled monolayer; the mixed solution is prepared by dissolving 0.8~1.2 mg / mL of self-assembled monolayer material and 0.2~0.4 mg / mL of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethylphenylhydrazine) hydrochloride in ethanol; wherein, the spin-coating parameters are 1800~2200 rpm for 28~32 s; the annealing parameters are annealing on a hot plate at 140~160℃ for 8~12 min.
[0064] The above concentration range ensures that the "co-SAMs" can effectively cover and passivate NiO. x The surface has a critical equilibrium window where excessive molecular buildup does not impede hole transport. Beyond this range, the synergistic effect diminishes sharply.
[0065] The hole transport layer material is PTAA and NiO. x The self-assembled monolayer material is at least one or a combination of two or more of Spiro-TTB and PEDOT-PSS; the self-assembled monolayer material is at least one or a combination of two or more of 2PACz, Me-4PACz, MeO-2PACz, MeO-4PACz, DMA-CPA, 4PADBC and 4PABCz.
[0066] In step 1, the main objective is to prepare a composite hole transport layer (NiO). x +Total SAMs).
[0067] The innovation of this step lies in the selection of a co-SAMs composed of Me-4PACz and 3,5-bis(trifluoromethylphenylhydrazine) hydrochloride as a specific functional layer. It is not a conventional single SAM, but a specific molecular combination designed to solve the specific interface problems of poor wettability and insufficient coverage of traditional SAMs. In essence, it introduces a new interface modification material.
[0068] Step 2: Deposit an inorganic salt film on the composite hole transport layer using vacuum evaporation.
[0069] In step 2, PbI2 and CsBr are deposited using a co-evaporation method, wherein the evaporation rate ratio of PbI2 to CsBr is 8~12:1; and the thickness of PbI2 in the inorganic salt film is 200~400 nm.
[0070] The aforementioned ratios are crucial parameters for obtaining an inorganic salt framework suitable for the complete reaction of subsequent organic salts and possessing the correct band gap (~1.65 eV). Deviations in the ratios will directly lead to PbI2 residue or band gap deviation, disrupting the current matching of the tandem solar cell.
[0071] Step 3: Spin-coat an organic salt solution onto an inorganic salt film, and then anneal to form a perovskite light-absorbing layer.
[0072] In step 3, the organic salt solution is a mixed solution of FAI, FABr, MAI, MACl and urea dissolved in ethanol; the annealing is carried out in an air environment with a relative humidity of 30-50%, an annealing temperature of 110-130°C, and a time of 8-12 minutes; and the proportion of urea in the total mass of the organic salt is 0.4%-0.6%.
[0073] The aforementioned humidity range is a targeted optimization that synergistically matches the characteristics of the co-SAMs interface and urea-containing organic salts. It precisely controls the crystallization kinetics, utilizing moisture to promote crystallization while avoiding potential adverse effects of moisture on the co-SAMs layer.
[0074] In this study, trace amounts of urea do not function as independent additives, but rather synergistically regulate crystallization with the co-SAMs layer. It is specifically designed to help eliminate the CsBr / PbI2 phase separation problem unique to the co-distillation method for preparing wide-bandgap perovskites, and the dosage is matched to this particular system.
[0075] In steps 2 and 3, the main objective is a two-step process of vapor-depositing inorganic salts followed by spin-coating organic salts.
[0076] The innovation of this step lies in defining the co-distillation of PbI2 and CsBr at the co-SAMs interface, followed by a reaction with a specific organic salt containing FAI / FABr / MAI / MACl / urea. This is a specific process route optimized for the preparation of high-quality wide-bandgap perovskites, and its creativity lies in the material selection (CsBr is used to adjust the bandgap) and process combination.
[0077] Step 4: Prepare a passivation layer on the perovskite light-absorbing layer.
[0078] In step 4, the passivation layer is a piperazine monoiodine layer, which is formed by spin-coating a piperazine monoiodine isopropanol solution with a concentration of 0.4~0.6 mg / mL at 4500~5500 rpm for 28~32 s and annealing at 90~110°C for 4~6 minutes.
[0079] Step 5: Sequentially prepare the electron transport layer, hole blocking layer and back electrode to complete the battery fabrication.
[0080] Step 5 includes the following steps in sequence: Step 51: Using vacuum evaporation, C is sequentially deposited on the passivation layer. 60 film; Step 52: Using atomic layer deposition (ALD), on C 60 A SnO2 film is deposited on the thin film as a hole blocking layer; In step 51, C is deposited. 60Before the thin film is deposited, a LiF thin film with a thickness of 0.5~2.0 nm is first vacuum-deposited.
[0081] The coordination mechanism between the above steps in this embodiment: First-layer synergy (interface-crystallization): The co-SAMs layer in step 1 improves the wettability of the perovskite precursor through its optimized surface energy. This directly creates an ideal substrate for the deposition of a uniform and dense inorganic salt (PbI2 / CsBr) film in step 2 and greatly promotes the penetration and complete reaction of the organic salt in step 3.
[0082] The second layer of synergy (crystallization-performance): The synergistic effect described above directly leads to an improvement in the quality of the perovskite film (dense, free of PbI2 residue) (corresponding to...). Figures 2-6 A high-quality light-absorbing layer is the physical basis for achieving high device performance, and therefore naturally and inextricably leads to an improvement in the final device performance (VOC, FF, efficiency, etc.). Figure 7 and Figure 8 (and Tables 1 and 2).
[0083] First experimental example of the present invention: This experimental example describes a fabrication process for an inverted wide-bandgap perovskite solar cell, using ITO as the conductive substrate and NiO as the conductive substrate. x The self-assembled monolayer (Me-4PACz) serves as the hole transport layer, PbI2 and CsBr are vapor-deposited as the inorganic salt framework, a perovskite light-absorbing layer is formed by spin-coating a mixed solution of formamidine iodide (FAI), formamidine bromide (FABr), methylamine iodide (MAI), methylamine chloride (MACl), and urea, and a piperazine monoiodide (PiPl) serves as the passivation layer. 60 The electron transport layer is SnO2, the hole blocking layer is SnO2, and the back electrode is Ag.

Use a pipette to draw 150 μL of solution, drop it onto the film, let it stand for 3 s to ensure sufficient contact, and then begin spin-coating. After spin-coating, anneal the film at 120°C for 10 min in an air environment with a relative humidity of 40%. After annealing, remove the film and allow it to cool naturally to obtain a wide-bandgap perovskite film.
[0088] Step 6: Weigh 5 mg of Pipl drug, add 10 mL of isopropanol solvent in a glove box to prepare a 0.5 mg / mL passivation layer solution, shake to fully dissolve, and then spin-coat the Pipl passivation layer onto the wide bandgap film prepared in step 5.

[0091] Step 9: A back electrode is fabricated on the surface of the hole-blocking layer obtained in Step 8 using vacuum evaporation. The sample is placed on a matching mask, and the deposition is carried out at a vacuum level of 6... 10 -4 Ag metal electrodes were prepared by evaporating approximately 100 nm of Ag at a rate of 0.8 Å / s under Pa conditions, and finally, an inverted wide-bandgap perovskite solar cell was obtained.
[0092] Second experimental example of the present invention: This experimental example describes a fabrication process for a perovskite / heterocrystalline silicon tandem solar cell, using heterocrystalline silicon as the base cell, ITO as the intermediate composite layer, and NiO as the intermediate composite layer. x The perovskite light-absorbing layer is formed by spin-coating a mixture of formamidine iodide (FAI), formamidine bromide (FABr), methylamine iodide (MAI), methylamine chloride (MACl), and urea. Piperazine monoiodide (PiPl) serves as the passivation layer, as do ultrathin LiF layers. 60 The electron transport layer is composed of SnO2 as the hole blocking layer, ITO as the transparent top electrode, and a silver gate as the back electrode. The specific steps are as follows: Step 1: An intermediate composite layer ITO is prepared on the n-side of a heterocrystalline silicon substrate using a vacuum sputtering deposition (PVD) system. After fixing the sample on the substrate holder, it is fed into the deposition chamber through the transmission system of the equipment. After reaching the set vacuum level, the sputtering process is performed. The sputtering power is set to 1KW, the gas mixture is argon-oxygen (oxygen content 10%), and the thickness of ITO is 20nm, thus obtaining the intermediate composite layer.
[0093] Step 2: Prepare a 15 mg / mL NiOx solution by weighing 15 mg of NiO. x The nanoparticles were dissolved in 1 mL of deionized water and sonicated for 15 min to disperse them evenly. The heterocrystalline silicon substrate prepared in step 1 was placed on a spin coater, and the spin coating parameters were set to 2000 rpm for 30 s. 100 μL of NiO was then pipetted into the substrate. x After the solution was evenly spread and spin-coated, it was annealed on a hot plate at 150°C for 10 min to obtain NiO. x Hole transport layer.
[0094] Step 3: Weigh 1 mg of Me-4PACz and 0.3 mg of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethylphenylhydrazine) hydrochloride and dissolve them in 1 mL of ethanol to prepare the experimental group SAM solution. Weigh 1 mg of Me-4PACz and dissolve it in 1 mL of ethanol to prepare the control group SAM solution. The NiO prepared in Step 2... x The surface of the hole transport layer was spin-coated with SAM solution from the experimental group and the control group, respectively, as the hole transport layer. The spin-coating parameters were set to 2000 rpm and 30 s. 80 μL of solution was drawn up using a pipette. After spin-coating, the solution was annealed on a hot stage at 100 °C for 10 min to prepare the Me-4PACz hole transport layer.
[0095] Step 4: Weigh a certain amount of PbI2 and CsBr and add them to different evaporation crucibles. Use a beam source evaporation device to co-evaporate PbI2 and CsBr. The evaporation rate ratio of PbI2 to CsBr is 10:1. Stop evaporating PbI2 when the thickness is 400 nm. Prepare an inorganic salt film co-evaporated with PbI2 and CsBr.
[0096] Step 5: Weigh 35 mg of formamidine iodide (FAI), 25 mg of formamidine bromide, 10 mg of methylamine iodide, 8 mg of methylamine chloride, and 0.5 mg of urea, respectively, and dissolve them in 1 mL of ethanol to prepare an organic salt solution. Spin-coat the organic salt solution onto the inorganic salt film obtained in Step 4. Set the spin-coating parameters to 3000 rpm and 30 s. Use a pipette to draw 150 μL of solution, drop it onto the film, let it stand for 5 s to ensure sufficient contact, and then begin spin-coating. After spin-coating, anneal the film on a hot plate at 120°C for 10 min in an air environment with a relative humidity of 40%. After annealing, remove the film and allow it to cool naturally to obtain a wide-bandgap perovskite film.
[0097] Step 6: Weigh 5 mg of Pipl drug, add 10 mL of isopropanol solvent in a glove box to prepare a 0.5 mg / mL passivation layer solution, shake to fully dissolve, and then spin-coat the Pipl passivation layer onto the wide bandgap film prepared in step 5. Set the spin-coating parameters to 5000 rpm and 30 s, and use a pipette to draw 100 μL of solution. After completion, place it on a hot plate heated to 100 °C for annealing for 5 min to prepare the perovskite passivation layer.
[0098] Step 7: An ultrathin passivation layer LiF and an electron transport layer C are deposited on the surface of the passivation layer obtained in Step 6 using vacuum evaporation. 60 For preparation, the sample is placed on a matching mask and subjected to a vacuum of 6... 10 -4Under the condition of Pa, a 1 nm ultrathin LiF passivation layer was deposited at a rate of 0.1 Å / s, followed by the deposition of approximately 10 nm of C through a linear evaporation source at a rate of 0.15 Å / s. 60 A thin film was used to prepare an electron transport layer.
[0099] Step 8: An atomic layer deposition (ALD) method is used to prepare a hole-blocking layer (SnO2) on the surface of the electron transport layer obtained in Step 7. The sample is placed in a process vacuum chamber, the chamber temperature is set to a stable 80℃, the tin source is TDMASn, the oxygen source is pure water, the outlet temperature is 65℃, and the number of purge cycles is 70, resulting in a SnO2 layer with a thickness of approximately 15 nm. The hole-blocking layer is thus prepared.
[0100] Step 9: A transparent conductive electrode, ITO, is prepared on the surface of the hole-blocking layer obtained in Step 8 using a vacuum sputtering deposition (PVD) system. After fixing the sample on the substrate holder, it is fed into the deposition chamber via the equipment's transmission system. Once the set vacuum level is reached, the sputtering process is performed. The sputtering power is set to 0.3 kW, the gas mixture is argon-oxygen (oxygen content 10%), and the ITO thickness is 35 nm, thus obtaining the ITO transparent electrode. Step 10: An Ag electrode is prepared on the surface of the ITO transparent electrode obtained in Step 9 using vacuum evaporation. The vacuum level is 6... 10 -4 Under the condition of Pa, an Ag gate of about 400 nm is deposited as the back electrode for collecting current, and finally a perovskite / heterocrystalline silicon tandem solar cell is obtained.
[0101] The effects of the preparation method of the present invention will be illustrated below using experimental data as an example.
[0102] Figures 2-5 The images shown are morphological diagrams of wide-bandgap perovskite films with and without SAM dopant. Figure 2 and Figure 3 SEM surface morphology analysis of the control group sample without SAM showed obvious pores between the perovskite grains, while the experimental group doped with SAM... Figure 4 and Figure 5 However, it exhibits a dense crystalline morphology. This comparison shows that perovskite crystallizes and grows differently on different SAM substrates. Doping with SAM can effectively reduce obvious defects generated during the preparation of perovskite, thereby improving the quality of perovskite films.
[0103] Figure 6The figures show XRD patterns of wide-bandgap perovskite films with and without SAM dopant. As can be seen from the figures, the undoped control group sample exhibits obvious lead iodide diffraction peaks, while the SAM-doped experimental group shows no lead iodide diffraction peaks. This indicates that the coated organic salt reacts completely with the evaporated inorganic lead iodide, leaving no lead iodide residue. Furthermore, it also shows distinct characteristic peaks of the perovskite photoactive phase (α phase) on different crystal planes, indicating better crystallinity of the perovskite film.
[0104] Figure 7 The graph shows the JV curves of wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells with and without SAM dopant. The comparison shows that the undoped control group exhibits lower VOC and greater hysteresis, resulting in poorer photovoltaic performance, while the SAM-doped experimental group shows higher VOC and lower hysteresis, indicating improved device efficiency. Specific parameters are shown in Table 1 below.
[0105] Table 1 Figure 8 The graph shows the JV curves of perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells with and without SAM dopant. The comparison in the graph shows that the SAM-doped experimental group also exhibits higher VOC in the tandem cells, corresponding to superior photovoltaic performance. Specific parameters are shown in Table 2 below.
