Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of solar cell technology, specifically providing a SAM precursor solution, a SAM self-assembled molecular layer, a perovskite cell, and a tandem cell. Background Technology

[0002] Perovskite solar cells are currently recognized as the most promising third-generation photovoltaic technology. Although their photoelectric conversion efficiency has been increasing from 10% to >26%, it is still far from its theoretical limit. Therefore, how to improve the efficiency of perovskite solar cells is the focus of attention in industry and academia.

[0003] In inverted perovskite solar cell structures, self-assembled molecular (SAM) layers are typically introduced as hole transport layers. In the application of SAM solutions, this is usually achieved through solution coating. Conventional SAM materials such as MeO-2PACz, Me-4PACz, and 2PACz typically exhibit very low critical micelle concentrations (CMCs). For example, the CMCs of MeO-2PACz and 2PACz in IPA are 0.044 mg / ml and 0.067 mg / ml, respectively, which are an order of magnitude lower than commonly used processing concentrations (0.3-0.5 mg / ml). This means that SAM molecules tend to form relatively stable micelles at very low concentrations. This phenomenon poses a significant challenge to achieving a uniform and dense distribution of SAM molecules.

[0004] Existing techniques commonly employ the introduction of aprotic strongly polar solvents into the SAM solution to address issues in SAM stable micelle coating (spin coating, etc.). While introducing aprotic strongly polar solvents eliminates the stabilizing micelles of SAM, these solvents rarely form an azeotropic point with IPA solvents. As coating completes, a large amount of volatile IPA escapes from the substrate with the SAM layer, leading to molecular aggregation. Furthermore, because aprotic strongly polar solvents such as DMF evaporate slowly, and SAM has good solubility in these solvents, SAM molecules redissolve and rearrange, ultimately resulting in uneven distribution of SAM molecules at the interface.

[0005] Accordingly, this application requires a new technical solution to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0090] Experimental Example 1 The perovskite solar cells of Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 4 were tested, and their IV curves were measured. The test conditions were: standard sunlight, temperature of 25±2℃, test voltage of -0.1 V to 3.3 V, with an interval of 10mV. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0091] Table 1. Experimental data of the examples and comparative examples. The experimental data in Table 1 show that: Comparing Examples 1, 3 to 6 with Comparative Example 1, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of Examples 1, 3 to 6 is higher than that of Comparative Example 1. Furthermore, comparing Example 2 with Comparative Example 3, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of Example 2 is higher than that of Comparative Example 3. Therefore, it can be seen that the SAM self-assembled molecular layer prepared from the SAM precursor solution of this application can effectively improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells and enhance battery performance when applied to solar cells.
