Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of photovoltaic power generation technology, and in particular to a perovskite solar cell and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Organic-inorganic halide perovskites have attracted widespread attention due to their excellent photoelectric properties, such as high carrier mobility, tunable bandgap, and low cost. After more than a decade of research, the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has rapidly improved, demonstrating enormous commercial application potential.
[0003] Due to the relatively weak chemical interactions in organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskites, high concentrations of defects form in perovskite films during rapid crystallization and high-temperature annealing. These defects cause nonradiative and interfacial recombination, which severely limits the improvement of the device's PCE (Potentially Optimal Performance). More importantly, the presence of defects provides pathways for ion migration, which accelerates under external stimuli, significantly impacting the long-term stability of PSCs (Potentially Optimal Performance Controllers).
[0004] Grain boundaries are an unavoidable structural feature in polycrystalline perovskite thin films, and numerous studies have confirmed that they are another key factor affecting the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells. Environmental factors such as moisture and oxygen can more easily penetrate from grain boundaries into the interior of the perovskite film, initiating hydrolysis and oxidation of the perovskite material, leading to material decomposition and failure. Therefore, passivating interfaces and bulk defects is of great significance for improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency and long-term operational stability of PSCs.
[0005] Currently, interface engineering is considered an effective method for passivating thin film surface defects and improving device efficiency and stability. Studies have found that passivating agents such as low-dimensional perovskites, Lewis acids, Lewis bases, and organic / inorganic salts are widely used to passivate various defects. However, interface engineering has limitations in passivating perovskite bulk defects. Therefore, developing a method for synergistic passivation of interface and bulk defects is crucial for high-efficiency perovskite solar cells. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This disclosure provides a perovskite solar cell and a method for its fabrication, thereby at least solving the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0007] According to a first aspect of this disclosure, a perovskite solar cell is provided, comprising, from bottom to top, a substrate layer, a hole transport layer, a perovskite light-absorbing layer (PVK), a modification layer, an electron transport layer (ETL), an interface modulation layer, and an electrode layer; wherein the material of the modification layer is chlorophenylpiperazine salt.
[0008] In one embodiment, the chemical formula of the perovskite structure in the perovskite light-absorbing layer is ABX3, wherein A is selected from at least one of methylammonium cation, formamidinium cation, and cesium ion; B is selected from at least one of lead ion and tin ion; and X is selected from at least one of chloride ion, bromide ion, iodide ion, and thiocyanate ion.
[0009] Specifically, ABX3-type perovskite crystals have high defect tolerance. Using a precursor solution containing ABX3-type perovskite crystals to prepare a perovskite light-absorbing layer helps improve the stability of perovskite solar cell devices. Furthermore, by adjusting the components of ABX3, the band gap of the perovskite material can be changed, thereby increasing the flexibility of perovskite solar cell device applications.
[0010] Specifically, the above-mentioned modified layer has the core role of synergistic surface passivation and bulk enhancement, as follows: (1) Passivating defects and suppressing non-radiative recombination. Chlorophenyl can effectively passivate the site vacancies of X-position anions and the undercoordinated B-position cations in the perovskite light-absorbing layer, reducing the defect sites in the film; the piperazine group can form hydrogen bonds with the A-position cation, and the π-cation interaction induced by the benzene ring can further fix the A-position cation, suppress the migration of the A-position cation, thereby reducing the non-radiative recombination loss caused by ion migration and defects, and improving the utilization efficiency of charge carriers. (2) Inducing secondary grain growth and optimizing film morphology. Chlorophenyl piperazine salt can induce perovskite surface reconstruction, promote secondary grain growth, increase the size of film grains and reduce grain boundaries; it can also regulate the crystallization orientation of perovskite grains, promote more grains to present vertical orientation, improve the uniformity and compactness of the film, and reduce the probability of charge recombination at grain boundaries. (3) Optimizing interface energy levels and improving charge carrier transport performance. The modified layer can optimize the interfacial energy level arrangement between the perovskite light-absorbing layer and the electron transport layer, and reduce carrier recombination caused by interfacial defects; its own strong dipole moment and passivated functional groups can regulate the surface energy level of the device, improve the separation and transport efficiency of carriers, and thus improve the open circuit voltage (VOC), short circuit current (JSC) and fill factor (FF) of the battery. (4) Reduce the residual stress of the film and enhance the stability of the device. After treatment with chlorophenylpiperazine salt, the residual stress of the perovskite film is significantly reduced, which can alleviate the problem of cracks caused by stress in the film; at the same time, it can inhibit the penetration of environmental factors such as moisture and oxygen from the grain boundary, delay the hydrolysis and oxidation of the perovskite material, and improve the long-term operating stability of the device.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the chemical formula of the perovskite structure in the perovskite light-absorbing layer is FA. 1-x- y MA x Cs y Pb(I 1-z Br z)3, where x=0~1, y=0~1, z=0~1.
[0012] In one embodiment, the chlorophenylpiperazine salt is selected from at least one of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)piperazine hydrochloride (1-(4-Chlorophenyl)piperazine dihydrochloride, 4CPPDCl), 1-(2-chlorophenyl)piperazine hydrochloride, 1-(3-chlorophenyl)piperazine hydrobromide, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)piperazine nitrate, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)piperazine sulfate, and 2-chloro-4-methylphenylpiperazine hydrochloride.
[0013] In one embodiment, the concentration of the chlorophenylpiperazine salt is 0.1~2 mg / mL.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the chlorophenylpiperazine salt is selected from 1-(4-chlorophenyl)piperazine hydrochloride.
[0015] In one embodiment, the material of the substrate layer is selected from at least one of ITO (indium tin oxide), FTO (fluorine-doped tin oxide), AZO (aluminum-doped zinc oxide), and IZO (indium zinc oxide).
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the substrate layer is made of ITO, which has a sheet resistance of 8Ω and a transmittance of 85%.
[0017] Specifically, ITO has a large bandgap, and selecting an ITO conductive substrate with the above specifications can provide high visible light transmittance and near-infrared reflectance, as well as very low resistivity, which can effectively improve conductivity.
[0018] In one embodiment, the hole transport layer is a self-assembled molecular (SAM) hole transport layer, and its material is selected from [4-(7H-dibenzo[c,g]carbazole-7-yl)butyl]phosphonic acid (4PADCB), phenylphosphonic acid (PPA), 4-methoxyphenylphosphonic acid (MPA), 3-thiophenephosphonic acid (TPA), N-ethylcarbazole-3-carboxylic acid, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS), poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine] (PTAA), NiO x At least one of CuI; the hole transport layer has a thickness of 5~50 nm.
[0019] Specifically, the hole transport layer (SAM) utilizes non-covalent interactions between molecules (such as hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, and π-π stacking) to spontaneously form ordered, dense monomolecular or multimolecular thin films on the substrate surface. These hole transport layer molecules typically have a structure of anchoring groups + conductive conjugated groups. The anchoring groups (such as phosphonic acid groups and carboxyl groups) form strong chemical bonds with the substrate surface for fixation, while the conjugated groups are responsible for efficient hole transport. Simultaneously, they suppress electron back migration and reduce the density of interface defect states. Choosing such a hole transport layer can suppress photoinduced halide segregation to enhance device stability, and it also possesses molecular designability, excellent mechanical flexibility, and is suitable for the charge separation and transport requirements of perovskite solar cells, as well as industrial production.
[0020] In one embodiment, the material of the electron transport layer is selected from at least one of fullerene (C60), methyl 6,6-phenyl-C61-butyrate (PCBM), isooctyl 6,6-phenyl-C71-butyrate (ICBA), C70, titanium dioxide (TiO2), tin dioxide (SnO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium nitride (TiN), perylene diimide derivative (PDI), and naphthylene diimide derivative (NDI); the thickness of the electron transport layer is 10~50 nm.
[0021] Specifically, the electron transport layer has a wide band gap, a small refractive index, and a high electron mobility, which can promote the effective separation of electrons and holes, reduce charge recombination, and eliminate hysteresis.
[0022] In one embodiment, the material of the interface control layer is selected from at least one of 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BCP), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BPhen), (2,2',2”-(1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)tris(1-phenyl-1H-benzimidazole)) (TPBi), lithium fluoride (LiF), polyethylimine ethoxylate (PEIE), alumina (Al2O3), magnesium oxide (MgO), cesium carbonate (Cs2CO3), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA); the thickness of the interface control layer is 1~20 nm.
[0023] Specifically, the interface control layer can enhance carrier transport, prevent dissociation of the perovskite crystal surface structure, and thus improve the stability of the device.
[0024] In one embodiment, the material of the electrode layer is selected from at least one of Ag, Au, Al, Cu, Cr-Au alloy, Ag-Au alloy, and Ag-Cu alloy; the thickness of the electrode layer is 50~100 nm.
[0025] Specifically, the aforementioned back electrode metal has good conductivity and stability. Selecting a metal of the aforementioned thickness as the back electrode can solve the problem of back electrode contact in traditional devices, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the device.
[0026] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a method for preparing the above-mentioned perovskite solar cell is provided, comprising the following steps: S1: Prepare a hole transport layer on the substrate; S2: Spin-coat the perovskite precursor solution onto the hole transport layer, and then anneal to obtain the perovskite light-absorbing layer. S3: A chlorophenylpiperazine salt solution is spin-coated onto the perovskite light-absorbing layer and then annealed to obtain a modified layer; S4: An electron transport layer, an interface control layer, and an electrode layer are sequentially prepared on the modified layer to obtain the perovskite solar cell.
[0027] In one embodiment, step S1 first involves ultrasonic cleaning, inert gas drying, and ultraviolet light irradiation of the substrate layer.
[0028] In one embodiment, step S1, which involves preparing the hole transport layer, includes: spin-coating the hole transport layer material onto the substrate layer and annealing it to obtain the hole transport layer; the spin-coating speed is 2000~4000 rpm and the time is 20~40s; the annealing temperature is 100~150℃ and the time is 10~30min.
[0029] In one embodiment, in step S2, the spin coating speed is 500~5000 rpm and the time is 20~45s; after the spin coating starts, an anti-solvent is added dropwise for anti-dissolution, and then annealed at 100~150℃ for 20~30min to obtain the perovskite light-absorbing layer.
[0030] Specifically, the antisolvent is selected from at least one of anhydrous diethyl ether, chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, dichloromethane, n-hexane, toluene, isopropanol, and ethyl acetate.
[0031] Specifically, spin coating under the aforementioned process parameters yields a film with uniform perovskite component distribution and suitable thickness, facilitating subsequent annealing. By using an anti-solvent for back-dissolution, the crystallization process of the solute in the perovskite precursor solution is promoted during solvent crystallization. Annealing at the aforementioned annealing temperature and time results in a stable perovskite film.
[0032] Specifically, the annealing atmosphere is an inert atmosphere.
[0033] In one embodiment, the spin coating speed in step S3 is 1000~6000 rpm and the time is 5~30s; the annealing temperature is 100~150℃ and the time is 3~30min.
[0034] Specifically, the annealing atmosphere is an inert atmosphere.
[0035] Specifically, spin-coating chlorophenylpiperazine salt within the above-mentioned range can yield a uniform and high-quality modified layer, which facilitates subsequent annealing.
[0036] In one embodiment, step S4 involves sequentially preparing the electron transport layer, the interface control layer, and the electrode layer using vapor deposition, wherein the vacuum degree of the vapor deposition is 1×10⁻⁶. -3 ~5×10 -4 Pa; the evaporation rate of the electron transport layer is 0.1~0.3 Å / s, the evaporation rate of the interface control layer is 0.05~0.2 Å / s, and the evaporation rate of the electrode layer is 0.5~3 Å / s.
[0037] According to one possible implementation of this disclosure, at least the following beneficial effects are achieved: 1. The chlorophenylpiperazine salt disclosed herein can induce perovskite surface reconstruction and secondary grain growth, resulting in increased film grain size, reduced grain boundaries, and vertical grain orientation. Simultaneously, it reduces residual stress in the film, significantly improving its uniformity and density, thus solving the problems of small grains, numerous defects, and uneven quality in perovskite layer preparation using the one-step spin-coating method. The chlorophenyl group effectively passivates the site vacancies of the X-position anion and the undercoordinated B-position cation. The piperazine group forms hydrogen bonds with the A-position cation, while the π-cation interaction induced by the benzene ring further immobilizes the A-position cation, inhibiting ion migration and reducing interface and bulk defects. Furthermore, it optimizes the energy level arrangement of the PVK / PEL interface, significantly reducing defect-assisted recombination and non-radiative recombination losses, and improving the film carrier lifetime.
[0038] 2. The efficiency of solar cell devices based on the prepared perovskite light-absorbing layer is further improved. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of both small-area devices and large-area modules is significantly improved, which can be used to match industrial production.

Figure 5 SEM images of the perovskite absorbing layer without 4CPPDCl modification prepared in Comparative Example 1, and the perovskite absorbing layers modified with 4CPPDCl prepared in Examples 4 (4CPPDCl concentration of 0.5 mg / mL), 1 (4CPPDCl concentration of 1.0 mg / mL), 5 (4CPPDCl concentration of 1.5 mg / mL), and 6 (4CPPDCl concentration of 2.0 mg / mL). (Source: [Insert SEM images here]) Figure 4 A comparison of (a) and (b) shows that the perovskite film modified with 4CPPDCl has larger grains and fewer grain boundaries; Figure 5 It can be seen that as the concentration of 4CPPDCl increases, the grain size shows a trend of increasing and then stagnating, and the material aggregation leads to more shadows.
[0082] Figure 6 The images show SEM images of the cross-sections of the perovskite light-absorbing layer prepared in Comparative Example 1 without 4CPPDCl modification and the perovskite light-absorbing layer prepared in Example 1 with 4CPPDCl modification. It can be seen that the perovskite light-absorbing layer prepared in Example 1 with 4CPPDCl modification has significantly larger grains in cross-section, and more grains exhibit vertical orientation, indicating that 4CPPDCl modification can effectively control the crystallization orientation and improve the morphology of the film.
[0083] 3. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the perovskite light-absorbing thin films prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were analyzed to characterize the defect density, such as... Figure 7 The images show the photoluminescence spectra (PL spectra) of the perovskite absorber layer prepared in Comparative Example 1 without 4CPPDCl modification and the perovskite absorber layer prepared in Example 1 with 4CPPDCl modification. Figure 8 The images show the delayed fluorescence (TRPL) spectra of the perovskite absorbing layer prepared in Comparative Example 1 without 4CPPDCl modification and the perovskite absorbing layer prepared in Example 1 with 4CPPDCl modification.
[0084] Figure 7 The results show that the emission intensity of the perovskite light-absorbing layer film modified with 4CPPDCl is much higher than that of the perovskite light-absorbing layer film without 4CPPDCl modification. This can be attributed to the fact that the modification effect of the additive improves the film formation quality of the perovskite film, increases the grain size of the film, and suppresses nonradiative transitions. Figure 8 The results show that the average lifetime of the perovskite film without 4CPPDCl modification is 327.51 ns, while the average lifetime of the perovskite film modified with 4CPPDCl increases to 950.11 ns. This indicates that 4CPPDCl modification can effectively passivate defects in the film and improve the quality of the perovskite film.
[0085] 4. The perovskite light-absorbing thin films prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were analyzed using slightly incident wide-angle X-ray scattering. Figure 9 The images show the slightly incident wide-angle X-ray scattering spectra of the perovskite light-absorbing layer prepared in Comparative Example 1 without 4CPPDCl modification and the perovskite light-absorbing layer prepared in Example 1 with 4CPPDCl modification.
[0086] Figure 9 The results show that 4CPPDCl modification has a certain regulatory effect on the crystallization of perovskite films, causing perovskite to preferentially grow along the (100) plane.
[0087] Figure 10 The figure shown is a linear fitting diagram of the 2θ-sin2φ curve of the perovskite light-absorbing layer. It can be seen that the residual stress of the perovskite film modified with 4CPPDCl is significantly reduced.
[0088] 5. The performance of the perovskite solar cell devices prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 was characterized.
[0089] Figure 11 The perovskite solar cells prepared in Comparative Example 1 without 4CPPDCl modification and those prepared in Example 1 with 4CPPDCl modification are compared. V OC , J SC Relationship between light intensity and illumination. Figure 11 The results show that the slope of the perovskite solar cell device modified with 4CPPDCl prepared in Example 1 is less than that of the perovskite solar cell device without 4CPPDCl modification prepared in Comparative Example 1, indicating that the defect-assisted recombination of the perovskite solar cell device modified with 4CPPDCl prepared in Example 1 is significantly reduced.
