[0031] The "ranges" disclosed herein are defined by lower and upper limits. A given range is defined by selecting one lower limit and one upper limit, and the selected lower and upper limits define the boundaries of that particular range. Such defined ranges may or may not include endpoints and may be arbitrarily combined; that is, any lower limit and any upper limit may be combined to form a single range. For example, if ranges of 60 to 120 and 80 to 110 are recited for a particular parameter, the ranges of 60 to 110 and 80 to 120 are also understood to be predictable. Furthermore, if the minimum range values are 1 and 2 and the maximum range values are 3, 4, and 5, the ranges of 1 to 3, 1 to 4, 1 to 5, 2 to 3, 2 to 4, and 2 to 5 are all predictable. In this application, unless otherwise specified, a numerical range of "a to b" represents a shorthand notation for any combination of real numbers between a and b, where a and b are both real numbers. For example, a numerical range of "0 to 5" indicates that all real numbers between "0 and 5" are listed herein, and "0 to 5" is merely shorthand for combinations of these numbers. Note that when a parameter is described as an integer ≧2, this is equivalent to disclosing that the parameter is an integer such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc.
[0032] Unless otherwise specified, all embodiments and alternative embodiments in this application can be combined with each other to form new technical solutions.
[0033] Unless otherwise specified, all technical features and alternative technical features in this application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.
[0034] Unless otherwise specified, all steps in the present application may be performed in order or randomly, preferably in order. For example, when the method includes steps (a) and (b), it means that the method may include steps (a) and (b) performed in order, or may include steps (b) and (a) performed in order.

[0037] Unless otherwise specified, in this application, the term "room temperature" generally refers to a temperature between 4°C and 30°C, preferably 25±5°C.

[0039] The fullerene composite material of the present application comprises a host material containing a first fullerene and / or a first fullerene derivative doped with at least one of a second fullerene and a second fullerene derivative, and a part of the molecular structure of the dopant material is inserted into the lattice of the first fullerene and / or the first fullerene derivative, thereby increasing the electrical conductivity of the fullerene composite material and improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells.
[0040] In fullerene derivatives, the presence of branched chains increases the intermolecular distance, making it difficult to extract carriers and limiting the improvement of the conductive performance of the fullerene derivative. By inserting a part of the molecular structure of the dopant material into the lattice of the first fullerene and / or the first fullerene derivative, the intermolecular distance can be shortened, the electron transport capacity can be increased, and the conductivity of the fullerene composite material can be improved.

[0043] It can be further understood that fullerene derivatives are typically obtained by modifying fullerenes, and since the lattice of fullerenes is typically spherical, the lattice of the fullerene derivative is also referred to as having a primarily spherical shape. When a portion of the molecular structure of a dopant material is inserted into the lattice of the first fullerene and / or the first fullerene derivative, it can be expressed as a portion of the molecular structure of the dopant material being inserted into the spherical lattice of the first fullerene and / or the first fullerene derivative. Optionally, when the dopant material has a side chain, the side chain of the dopant material is inserted into the lattice of the first fullerene and / or the first fullerene derivative. It can be understood that fullerene derivatives are typically obtained by modifying fullerenes such as C50, C60, and C70.
[0044] It can be further understood that when a portion of the molecular structure of the dopant material is inserted into the lattice of the first fullerene and / or first fullerene derivative, another portion of the molecular structure of the dopant material may protrude from the lattice of the first fullerene and / or first fullerene derivative and may be attached to the outer surface of the lattice of the first fullerene and / or first fullerene derivative.
[0045] In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the dopant material, as a percentage of the total weight of the first fullerene and / or first fullerene derivative and the dopant material, is 0.0001% to 1%.

[0047] In this application, the mass percentage of the dopant material as a percentage of the total mass of the first fullerene and / or first fullerene derivative and the dopant material may be expressed as the doping amount of the dopant material.
[0048] In some embodiments, the fullerene composite material comprises a host material and a dopant material, the host material being at least one selected from a first fullerene and a first fullerene derivative, the dopant material being at least one selected from a fullerene and a second fullerene derivative, and a portion of the molecular structure of the dopant material being inserted into the lattice of the first fullerene and / or the first fullerene derivative.

[0050] During the production of a fullerene composite material, aggregation of the dopant material is one of the factors that affect the performance of the composite material. In this production method, adding the dopant material to the reaction system before heat treatment allows the dopant material to be more uniformly dispersed in the reaction system.

Reagents and equipment used without specifying the manufacturer are all common products that are commercially available.
[0090] Example 1 The manufacturing process of the fullerene composite material in this example is as follows.
[0091] S101: Synthesis of methyl 4-benzoylbutyrate: A clean, dry 500 mL two-neck flask was taken, and 19.25 g (0.1 mol) of benzoylbutyric acid was added thereto and dissolved in 300 mL of chlorobenzene. 100 mL of methanol was added and stirred until completely dissolved. 30 mL of hydrochloric acid was added dropwise, and stirring was continued. The mixture was heated under reflux overnight. After confirming that the reaction had progressed completely by thin layer chromatography, stirring was stopped, and the mixture was neutralized with saturated sodium carbonate until no more bubbles remained. The mixture was then separated into oil and water. The aqueous phase was then extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic phases were combined and water was removed with anhydrous calcium chloride. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The product was eluted and separated on a silica gel column (eluent: ethyl acetate / n-hexane (volume ratio 3:1)) to obtain 18 g of a pale yellow oily liquid, methyl 4-benzoylbutyrate.
[0092] S102: Synthesis of methyl 5-phenyl-5-(p-toluenesulfonylhydrazino)pentanoate: 10.5 g (0.05 mol) of methyl 4-benzoylbutyrate, 11.5 g (0.06 mol) of p-toluenesulfonylhydrazide, and 200 ml of methanol were heated to reflux in a single-necked round-bottom flask and reacted for 12 hours. The flask was then cooled to room temperature and stored in the dark for 24 hours. The flask was then transferred to -15°C and stored in the dark overnight. The product was filtered with suction and recrystallized in methanol. The product was then placed under vacuum at 40°C overnight to obtain 18.2 g of methyl 5-phenyl-5-(p-toluenesulfonylhydrazino)pentanoate as a white solid.
[0093] S103: Synthesis of F1-OMe: In a clean, dry 1 L three-neck flask, 11.25 g (0.03 mol) of methyl 5-phenyl-5-(p-toluenesulfonylhydrazino)pentanoate was dissolved in 250 mL of pyridine, 1.75 g of sodium methoxide was added, and the mixture was stirred. The mixture was degassed and stored under an argon atmosphere. Separately, a clean, dry round-bottom flask was taken, and 10.8 g of C60 was added to it, and the mixture was dissolved in 300 mL of o-dichlorobenzene. The mixture was added dropwise to the above three-neck flask and heated under reflux for 24 hours. The product was rotary evaporated to remove most of the solvent, and the product was separated by column chromatography to obtain 6.83 g of the product F1-OMe.
[0094] S104: Fullerene composite material: 6.83 g of F1-OMe and the dopant material C50 were dissolved in o-dichlorobenzene, and the resulting product was heated under reflux for 48 hours. The product was concentrated and then added to methanol for precipitation to obtain a fullerene composite. In this example, the dopant material was C50 and the host material was PC61BM. The mass percentage of the dopant material C50 in the resulting fullerene composite was 0.1%, i.e., the doping amount was 0.1%.
[0095] The manufacturing process of the perovskite solar cell in this example is as follows.
[0096] S201: 20 sheets of 2.0cm x 2.0cm FTO conductive glass were taken and 0.35cm of FTO was removed from each end by laser etching to expose the glass substrate. The etched FTO conductive glass was then ultrasonically cleaned in water, acetone, and isopropyl alcohol, in that order. The cleaned FTO conductive glass was then sprayed with a nitrogen gun to remove the solvent, and placed in an ultraviolet ozone device for ultraviolet ozone cleaning.
[0097] S202: 10 mg / mL nickel oxide nanoparticles (water as the solvent) were spin-coated at 4000 rpm onto an FTO substrate that had been subjected to UV-ozone cleaning, and then annealed on a hot plate at 100°C for 30 minutes to form a hole transport layer.
[0098] S203:PTAA was dissolved in chlorobenzene at a concentration of 1 mg / mL, stirred, and then filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane. 50 μL of the solution was then dropped onto the hole transport layer, spin-coated at 4000 rpm, and annealed on a hot plate at 100°C for 10 minutes to obtain a passivation layer.
[0099] S204: 223 mg of lead iodide (PbI2), 80 mg of formamidinium iodide (FAI), and 15 mg of methylammonium chloride (MACl) were weighed and dissolved in a mixture of 0.8 mL of DMF and 0.2 mL of DMSO. The mixture was stirred for 3 hours and filtered through a 0.22 μm organic filter membrane to obtain a perovskite precursor solution. The perovskite precursor solution was spin-coated onto the passivation layer at 3000 rpm, annealed at 120 °C for 30 minutes, and cooled to room temperature to form a perovskite layer. The active material in the perovskite layer was FA-based, and the thickness was 500 nm.
[0100] S205: The fullerene composite material obtained in S104 was dissolved in chlorobenzene to form a 20 mg / mL electron transport slurry. The electron transport slurry was spin-coated onto the perovskite layer at 1500 rpm and annealed at 100°C for 10 minutes to form a 50 nm thick electron transport layer. Next, a 0.5 mg / mL BCP solution in isopropyl alcohol was spin-coated at 5000 rpm to form a 5 nm thick passivation layer. The resulting layer was then placed in an evaporator to form a metal electrode (Ag) by vapor deposition, yielding a perovskite solar cell.
