[0029] The utility model provides a coating scraper which can be applied to a coating process of a perovskite precursor solution in the production of a perovskite solar cell.

[0030] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , a coating blade 100 according to an embodiment includes a blade body 110 , a first liquid absorbing member 120 and a second liquid absorbing member 130 .

[0031] The scraper body 110 has a scraping end 111 for facing the coating substrate 200. The scraping end 111 is provided with a liquid passing groove 112, and the first liquid absorbing component 120 and the second liquid absorbing component 130 are respectively connected to the scraper body 110 and located at opposite sides of the liquid passing groove 112.

[0032] The coating scraper 100 is provided with a liquid passing groove 112 at the scraping end 111 facing the coating substrate 200. During the coating process, the perovskite precursor solution 300 is spread on the substrate 200 through the liquid passing groove 112, reducing the overflow of the perovskite precursor solution 300 from both sides. In addition, the scraper body 110 is connected with a first liquid absorption component 120 and a second liquid absorption component 130 on opposite sides of the liquid passing groove 112 to absorb the overflowed solution on both sides to prevent the perovskite precursor solution 300 from seeping from both sides of the substrate 200 to the back side during the coating process, thereby preventing the functional material layer on the back side of the substrate 200 from being contaminated or corroded by the infiltrated solution, thereby improving the performance of the prepared battery and improving the yield of the preparation process.

[0033] In the production of perovskite solar cells, the coating blade 100 is used to form a perovskite absorption layer, which can prevent the perovskite precursor solution from penetrating into the back side of the substrate 200.

[0051] In one example, the second liquid absorbing member 130 is an elastic member. In this example, the second liquid absorbing member 130 has a certain elasticity, and can produce a certain elastic deformation when the second liquid absorbing member 130 contacts the substrate 200 during the coating process, so as to prevent the second liquid absorbing member 130 from scratching the substrate 200.

The water-absorbing resin component may be, but is not limited to, a polyacrylamide component.

[0053] Optionally, the materials of the first liquid absorbent member 120 and the second liquid absorbent member 130 may be the same or different.

[0054] Optionally, the distance between the first absorbent member 120 and the second absorbent member 130 can be set according to the width of the substrate 200 to be coated. Preferably, the distance between the first absorbent member 120 and the second absorbent member 130 is greater than or equal to the width of the substrate 200 to be coated.

[0055] In one example, the distance between the first absorbent member 120 and the second absorbent member 130 is the same as the length of the liquid channel 112 .

[0056] In one example, the distance between the first absorbent member 120 and the second absorbent member 130 is greater than the length of the liquid slot 112. For example, the distance between the first absorbent member 120 and the second absorbent member 130 is 1 mm to 30 mm greater than the length of the liquid slot 112. In some specific examples, the distance between the first absorbent member 120 and the second absorbent member 130 is 2 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, etc. greater than the length of the liquid slot 112.
