Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solar cell technology, and more specifically, relates to a perovskite solar cell based on piperazine halide additives and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has been significantly improved. Among them, formamidinium-containing halide perovskite materials have become one of the key photovoltaic materials for achieving high efficiency and industrialization potential due to their near-ideal band gap, long carrier diffusion distance, low exciton binding energy, and solution processability. However, this type of photoactive perovskite phase is thermodynamically metastable and readily transforms spontaneously into the photoelectric inert δ phase at room temperature. Humid and oxygen environments further accelerate this phase transition process.

[0003] To suppress the α→δ phase transition, some studies have disclosed the introduction of smaller cations (such as Cs). + and MA + ) or mixed halide ions (such as Br) - To stabilize the α phase, patent CN118368952A proposes a two-step method for preparing α-FAPbI3 thin films followed by treatment with methylamine ethanol solution. While this method can suppress δ phase formation to some extent, ion doping typically leads to a widening of the material's band gap, sacrificing some photocurrent density and limiting further improvements in device performance. Another approach involves introducing interface materials between the perovskite layer and the transport layer to modulate energy levels and passivate surface defects. For example, patent CN121226286A discloses a technique using N-acetylpiperazine halide / N-formylpiperazine halide as passivating molecules, utilizing an "ammonium-carbonyl" dual-site synergistic anchoring of the perovskite surface. However, this technique is functionally positioned for interface passivation rather than bulk α-phase stabilization, making it difficult to fundamentally suppress phase transitions. Summary of the Invention

The perovskite thin film prepared by this invention exhibits significantly suppressed formation of the photoelectric inert δ-phase under humid heat aging conditions, demonstrating excellent phase purity.

[0044] Performance testing of perovskite solar cells The performance of the perovskite solar cells prepared in Examples 1-17 and Comparative Example 1 was tested. The current density-voltage ratio of the devices was measured under standard illumination conditions. JV Characteristic curves are used to obtain the open-circuit voltage ( V OC ), short-circuit current density ( J SC The fill factor (FF) and photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) were measured, with the test results of Examples 1-10 shown in Table 1. The current density-voltage ratios of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were compared. JV Characteristic curves as follows Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, 3-PMPCl is used to represent the case of Example 1, and control is used to represent the case of Comparative Example 1. To investigate the effect of different 3-PMPCl addition amounts (Examples 1 and 11-17, Comparative Example 1) on the device, at least 10 parallel samples were prepared for testing in each example. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the device is shown in the figure. Figure 4 As shown.

[0045] Table 1. Battery performance parameters of each embodiment and comparative example.

[0046] As shown in Table 1, compared to Comparative Example 1 without the addition of piperazine halide additive, Examples 1-10... V OC 、J SC All three parameters (FF and PCE) were improved. Among them, Example 10 showed the best performance.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the device obtained in Example 1 JV The characteristic curve shows: Under reverse scanning conditions, the open-circuit voltage V OC The short-circuit current density is 1.21 V. J SC It is 26.5 The fill factor (FF) is 86.5%, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) reaches 27.6%; under forward scanning conditions, V OC It is 1.21 V. J SC It is 26.5 FF was 86.3%, and PCE reached 27.6%.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the device obtained in Comparative Example 1 JV The characteristic curves show that under reverse scan conditions, VOC It is 1.19 V. J SC It is 26.4 The FF was 85.6%, and the PCE reached 26.9%; under forward scanning conditions, V OC It is 1.19 V. J SC It is 26.4 FF was 85.3%, and PCE reached 26.8%.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, 3-PMPCl additive can effectively improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells. There is an optimal addition concentration, with 0.12 mol% representing the optimal amount of 3-PMPCl. At this concentration, the PCE of the device reaches its peak, with small data dispersion and excellent device repeatability. Excessive addition leads to a gradual decrease in the PCE and may even degrade device performance. This indicates that the additive must be controlled within a reasonable concentration range to achieve the optimal passivation effect.

[0050] The above results show that after introducing piperazine halide additives into the perovskite active layer, the performance parameters of the device are all superior to those of the unadded comparative example, especially the PCE, which is improved from 26.9% to over 27.6%, and no problem of sacrificing photocurrent density for stability has occurred. J SC Maintain at 26.5 The above figures are comparable to or even higher than the comparative figures.

[0051] Characterization tests of perovskite thin films To further investigate the effect of additives on perovskite thin films, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EPXS), and grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GISS) tests were performed on the perovskite thin films prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, respectively. The results are shown in [Figure 1]. Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the figure, 3-PMPC1 is used to represent the case of Example 1, and control is used to represent the case of Comparative Example 1.

[0052] Figure 5 Solid-state NMR spectroscopy of deuterated proton NMR was performed on the perovskite films obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. It can be clearly observed that both sets of peaks exhibit symmetrical single peaks centered at 0 ppm, with peak shape and position highly overlapping, and no additional impurity peaks appearing. This indicates that the addition of the 3-PMPCl additive in this invention did not alter the FA... +The chemical environment of the cation does not damage the main crystal structure of the perovskite; it exists only as a functional additive and does not affect the bulk phase of the perovskite.

[0053] Figure 6 Extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (EPXS) was performed on the perovskite films obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 before and after aging in a nitrogen atmosphere for 15 days. The left figure shows the Pb-I bond length changes of the perovskite samples in the fresh and aged states. It can be observed that the Pb-I bond lengths of the Control group and the 3-PMPCl group are almost identical in the fresh sample. After aging, the Pb-I bond length of the Control group expands significantly, while the Pb-I bond length of the 3-PMPCl group only increases slightly, showing a significant difference between the two groups. This indicates that in this invention, 3-PMPCl can effectively suppress the distortion of the perovskite lattice during the aging process, significantly improving the lattice stability of the perovskite. The right figure shows the DW (Debye-Waller) factor changes of the perovskite samples in the fresh and aged states. It can be observed that the DW factor values ​​of the Control group and the 3-PMPCl group are close in the fresh sample. After aging, the DW factor of the Control group increases significantly, while the DW factor of the 3-PMPCl group only increases slightly, with the increase in the Control group being much greater than that of the 3-PMPCl group. This indicates that, in this invention, 3-PMPCl can effectively suppress the increase of perovskite lattice disorder, passivate perovskite defects, and improve the structural stability of perovskite.

[0054] Figure 7 The perovskite films obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were aged at 85 °C and 85% relative humidity, and then subjected to GIWAXS testing. The left image shows the GIWAXS two-dimensional pattern of the perovskite film with the 3-PMPCl additive group. It can be observed that the sample exhibits a clear and complete perovskite α-phase main diffraction ring, with no additional stray diffraction signals, uniform diffraction rings, and no abnormal crystal orientation. This indicates that in this invention, the addition of the 3-PMPCl additive did not destroy the crystallinity of the perovskite, did not change the preferred orientation of the crystal, and effectively suppressed the formation of harmful non-perovskite phases, resulting in excellent film phase purity. The right image shows the GIWAXS two-dimensional pattern of the perovskite film in the control group. It can be observed that, in addition to the perovskite α-phase main diffraction ring, the sample showed obvious δ-phase (harmful non-perovskite phase) diffraction signals next to the main ring. This indicates that the perovskite film without the addition of 3-PMPCl contains a harmful non-perovskite δ-phase, with insufficient phase purity, prone to phase decomposition, and poor structural stability.

[0055] Based on the above performance tests and characterization analysis results, it can be seen that this invention, by introducing piperazine halide additives, achieves the desired effect without sacrificing photocurrent density and bandgap width. J SC Maintain ≥26.3 (PCE increased to over 27.6%), while simultaneously achieving: enhanced FA + The additives in this invention significantly reduce cation rotational disorder, inhibit Pb-I bond expansion and octahedral disorder, and suppress δ-phase formation under humid and hot conditions. This demonstrates that the additives fundamentally stabilize the perovskite α-phase through a bulk phase regulation mechanism, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies where interface passivation makes it difficult to suppress bulk phase transitions or where ion doping leads to bandgap widening and sacrifices photocurrent.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
