Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] [Cross-reference of related applications] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202310855619.X, filed on 12 July 2023, titled "Perovskite Solar Cell and Method for Manufacturing the Same, Photovoltaic Module, System and Power Consumption Device," which is incorporated into this application in its entirety by reference.
[0002] This application relates to the field of solar cell technology, and more particularly to perovskite solar cells and methods for manufacturing the same, photovoltaic modules, systems, and power consumption devices. [Background technology]
[0003] With the rapid development of the new energy sector, solar cells are widely applied in fields such as industry, commerce, agriculture, and telecommunications. Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are devices that convert solar energy into electrical energy using the photoelectric conversion mechanism of perovskite-type crystalline materials. They are the current third generation of solar cells and have various advantages such as high photoelectric conversion efficiency, simple manufacturing process, and low production cost, and have been the subject of much research in recent years.
[0004] With the maturation of processes for organic electron transport layer materials such as fullerene derivatives, naphthalene diimides, and perylene diimides, and the continuous decline in prices, organic electron transport layer materials are gradually being applied to large-scale industrial production. Organic electron transport layer materials can improve the hysteresis phenomenon of devices and, to some extent, improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of devices. However, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells using current organic electron transport layer materials still needs further improvement, and the stability of these cells is relatively poor.
[0005] Therefore, improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells that use organic materials as electron transport layers is one of the important problems that need to be solved urgently in this field.
Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0006] This application is made in view of the above problems, and one of its objects is to provide a perovskite solar cell having a relatively high photoelectric conversion efficiency and good stability.
Means for Solving the Problems

The electron transport layer includes an organic electron transport material, a first additive, and a second additive. The first additive includes one or more of polymethyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer, 4-vinylpyridine-styrene copolymer, polyacrylonitrile, and poly-4-vinylpyridine. The second additive includes one or more of the compounds of formula I and the compounds of formula II:
Chemical Formula
[0008] The perovskite solar cell of this application is characterized by adding a specific organic polymer as a first additive to an electron transport layer using an organic electron transport material, and adding a specific quaternary ammonium salt and / or tertiary amine molecule as a second additive. The introduction of the first additive, an organic polymer, can improve the dispersibility of the organic electron transport material in the solution forming the electron transport layer, improve the uniformity of the electron transport layer film, and reduce the water molecule entry channels in the electron transport layer. The second additive, a quaternary ammonium salt, can significantly improve the conductivity of the electron transport layer film. The second additive, a tertiary amine molecule, can improve the intermolecular bonding force of the organic electron transport material. The quaternary ammonium salt and tertiary amine molecule can form a passivation layer with the perovskite interface during the molecular crystallization process of the electron transport layer, thereby reducing the diffusion of perovskite ions. The combined action of the specific first and second additives can improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell.

In this way, the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell can be further improved.
[0010] In any embodiment, the second additive comprises the compound of formula I and the compound of formula II, with a mass ratio of (0.5-2):1 between the compound of formula I and the compound of formula II. In this way, the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell can be further improved.
[0011] In any embodiment, the compound of formula I comprises one or more of tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate, hexa-bisammonium iodide, and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide.

Here, the solution forming the electron transport layer comprises a solvent and a solute dispersed in the solvent, the solute comprising an organic electron transport material, a first additive and a second additive.
[0016] By adding specific first and second additives to the electron transport layer solution, the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells can be improved.

[0057] Here, the electron transport layer 14 comprises an organic electron transport material, a first additive and a second additive, wherein the first additive comprises one or more of polymethyl methacrylate, methacrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer, 4-vinylpyridine-styrene copolymer, polyacrylonitrile and poly4-vinylpyridine. The second additive comprises one or more of the compounds of formula I and formula II below: [ka] Here, R1, R2, R3, R5 and R6 are each independently selected from C1-C4 alkyl groups, n1 and n2 are each independently integers from 1 to 6, m1 and m2 are each independently integers from 1 to 4, R4 and R7 are each independently alkyl groups from C1-C5, alkoxy groups from C1-C5, alkyl mercapto groups from C1-C5, aryl groups, halogens, carboxyl groups, cyano groups, or none, X is one or more of Cl, Br, I, BF4, PF6 and TFSI, and Y1 and Y2 are each independently selected from one of CH2, NH, O and S, or none. Here, "none" means that this group is H.
[0058] Conventional perovskite solar cells 1 using organic electron transport layer materials suffer from limitations in photovoltaic performance and photoelectric conversion efficiency due to the relatively low conductivity of the organic electron transport material. Simultaneously, the dispersibility of the organic electron transport material in the solvent is not sufficiently high, leading to relatively serious aggregation phenomena. This affects the uniformity of the electron transport layer 14 film, resulting in relatively poor stability of batteries using organic electron transport material as the electron transport layer 14. These factors hinder the large-scale industrial application of perovskite solar cells 1 using organic electron transport material as the electron transport layer 14.
[0059] The perovskite solar cell 1 of this application adds a specific organic polymer as a first additive to an electron transport layer 14 using an organic electron transport material, and adds a specific quaternary ammonium salt and / or tertiary amine molecule as a second additive. The introduction of the organic polymer can improve the dispersibility of the organic electron transport material in the solution forming the electron transport layer 14, reduce aggregation of the organic electron transport material, improve the uniformity of the film layer of the electron transport layer 14, and further improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the device. The introduction of the quaternary ammonium salt can significantly improve the conductivity of the film layer of the electron transport layer 14, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell. The introduction of the tertiary amine molecule can improve the bonding force with the transport layer molecules through the bonding action between the N atom and the electron transport layer 14, improve molecular orientation, and enhance the electron mobility of the electron transport layer 14.
[0060] Furthermore, the hydrophobic functional groups in the above organic polymer reduce the entry channels for water molecules in the electron transport layer 14, mitigating the reaction of water with the perovskite through the electron transport layer 14, thereby improving the stability of the device. The quaternary ammonium salt and tertiary amine molecules reduce the diffusion of perovskite ions by forming a passivation layer with the perovskite interface during the molecular crystallization process of the electron transport layer 14, suppressing the decomposition of the perovskite and improving the stability of the device. The synergistic action of the above specific first and second additives can effectively improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell 1 using the organic electron transport material.
[0061] To make it easier to understand, the electron transport layer 14 of the perovskite solar cell 1 may contain only the organic electron transport material, the first additive of the organic polymer system, and the second additive of the quaternary ammonium salt system; or it may contain only the organic electron transport material, the first additive of the organic polymer system, and the second additive of the tertiary amine molecule system; or it may contain the organic electron transport material, the first additive of the organic polymer system, the second additive of the quaternary ammonium salt system, and the second additive of the tertiary amine molecule system simultaneously.
[0062] To make it easier to understand, in the compounds of formula I and formula II described above, R1, R2, R3, R5 and R6 may each be independently a methyl group, an ethyl group, an n-propyl group, an n-butyl group, an isopropyl group, an isobutyl group, a tert-butyl group, etc., n1 and n2 may each be independently 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and m1 and m2 may each be independently 1, 2, 3, and 4.
[0063] In some of these embodiments, the mass fraction of the first additive is 1% to 5% of the total mass of the electron transport layer 14, the mass fraction of the second additive is 0.5% to 2%, and the mass fraction of the organic electron transport material is 93% to 98.5%. The amounts of the first additive, the second additive, and the organic electron transport material used in the electron transport layer 14 are within the above ranges, which can further improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell 1.
[0064] In some of these embodiments, the second additive comprises a compound of formula I and a compound of formula II, and the mass ratio of the compound of formula I to the compound of formula II is (0.5-2):1. In this way, by simultaneously using two types of second additives, the compound of formula I and the compound of formula II, in the electron transport layer 14, and controlling the mass ratio of the compound of formula I to the compound of formula II within the range of (0.5-2):1, the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell 1 can be further improved through the synergistic action of a specific amount of a quaternary ammonium salt-based second additive, a tertiary amine molecule-based second additive, an organic polymer-based first additive, and an organic electron transport material.
[0065] In some of these examples, the compound of formula I is one or more of tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate, hexa-bisammonium iodide, and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, and the compound of formula II is one or more of 1,7-bis(dimethylamino)heptane, tris(dimethylaminopropyl)amine, and 9,9-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]fluorene.

The conductive oxide may be laid on a substrate, and the substrate may be a rigid substrate or a flexible substrate. In some embodiments, the substrate may be made of transparent glass.

In one specific example, the perovskite component is Cs 0.05 MA 0.1 FA 0.85 PbI3 is used, where MA is methylammonium and FA is formamidine.
[0071] The metal electrode 15 may be an electrode commonly used in this field, such as Au, Ag, Cu, Al, or Pt. In one specific example, the metal electrode 15 is an Ag electrode.
[0072] One embodiment of this application provides a method for manufacturing the perovskite solar cell 1 described above, the manufacturing method comprising the following steps S100 to S500.
[0073] Step S100: Provide a transparent electrode layer 11.
[0074] This transparent electrode layer 11 is used as the device substrate, and specifically, FTO glass may be used for the transparent electrode layer 11. Before manufacturing the hole transport layer 12 on the transparent electrode layer 11, the transparent electrode layer 11 is first subjected to UV cleaning to remove impurities from the surface of the transparent electrode layer 11.
[0075] In one specific example, the transparent electrode layer 11 is made of FTO glass.
[0076] Step S200: A hole transport layer 12 is formed on the transparent electrode layer 11.
[0077] A solution containing a hole transport material is spin-coated onto one surface of the transparent electrode layer 11 using a spin-coating process, and after annealing, a hole transport layer 12 is formed.
[0078] Here, the spin coating process parameters (e.g., spin coating rotation speed, spin coating time, etc.) used when manufacturing the hole transport layer 12 may be specifically set according to actual conditions such as the thickness of the hole transport layer 12 to be manufactured. Similarly, the annealing temperature may be set according to actual production conditions.
[0079] To make it clear, the material forming the hole transport layer 12 may be a common hole transport material in this field.
[0080] In one specific example, PTAA is used as the hole transport material, the spin coating rotation speed is 5000 rpm / s, the spin coating time is 30 s, and the annealing temperature is 100°C.
[0081] Step S300: A perovskite layer 13 is formed on the hole transport layer 12.
[0082] A solution containing a perovskite component is spin-coated onto the surface of the hole transport layer 12, away from the transparent electrode layer 11, using a spin-coating process. After annealing, a perovskite layer 13 is formed.
[0083] Here, the spin coating process parameters (e.g., spin coating rotation speed, spin coating acceleration, spin coating time, etc.) used when manufacturing the perovskite layer 13 may be specifically set according to actual conditions such as the thickness of the perovskite layer 13 to be manufactured. The annealing temperature may also be set according to actual production conditions.
[0084] To make it easier to understand, the perovskite layer 13 may use perovskite components commonly used in this field.
[0085] In one specific example, the perovskite component is Cs 0.05MA 0.1 FA 0.85 Using PbI3, the spin coat rotation speed was 5000 rpm / s, the spin coat acceleration was 2000 rpm / s, the spin coat time was 30 s, and the annealing temperature was 100°C.
[0086] Step S400: An electron transport layer 14 is formed on the perovskite layer 13.
[0087] An electron transport layer 14 can be formed without annealing by spin-coating a solution containing an organic electron transport material, a first additive, and a second additive onto a surface of the perovskite layer 13 away from the hole transport layer 12 using a spin-coating process. This solution comprises a solvent and a solute dispersed in the solvent, where the solute includes the organic electron transport material, the first additive, and the second additive. The types of organic electron transport material, the first additive, and the second additive in the electron transport layer 14 are as described above and will not be further explained here.
[0088] To make it easier to understand, the spin-coating process parameters (e.g., spin-coating rotation speed, spin-coating time, etc.) used when manufacturing the electron transport layer 14 may be specifically set according to the actual conditions, such as the thickness of the electron transport layer 14 to be manufactured. The electron transport layer 14 may use organic electron transport materials commonly used in this field.
[0089] In one specific example, the spin-coating rotation speed is 2000 rpm / s, the spin-coating time is 30 s, and PCBM is used as the organic electron transport material.
[0090] In some embodiments, the solvent in the solution forming the electron transport layer 14 includes a first organic solvent and a second organic solvent, where the first organic solvent is a low-boiling point solvent with a boiling point of 38°C to 70°C, and the second organic solvent is a high-boiling point solvent with a boiling point of 110°C to 210°C.
[0091] In some examples, the first organic solvent includes one or more of chloroform (boiling point approximately 61°C), dichloromethane (boiling point approximately 39.75°C), and tetrahydrofuran (boiling point approximately 66°C). The second organic solvent includes one or more of chlorobenzene (boiling point approximately 132.2°C), o-dichlorobenzene (boiling point approximately 180.4°C), toluene (boiling point approximately 110.6°C), o-xylene (boiling point approximately 144.4°C), anisole (boiling point approximately 153.8°C), 2-methylanisole (boiling point approximately 170°C), 2-chlorophenol (boiling point approximately 174°C), and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (boiling point approximately 207.2°C).
[0092] In some of these examples, the volume fraction of the first organic solvent is 20% to 80% of the total volume of the solvent, and the volume fraction of the second organic solvent is 20% to 80%. As can be understood, the volume fraction of the first organic solvent may be 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, or 80%, but is not limited to these, and accordingly, the volume fraction of the second organic solvent may be 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, or 20%, but is not limited to these. In one specific example, the volume ratio of the first organic solvent to the second organic solvent is 1:1, that is, a high-boiling point solvent and a low-boiling point solvent are mixed in equal volumes, and the volume fraction of each is 50%.
[0093] In some of these embodiments, in the solution forming the electron transport layer 14, the mass fraction of the first additive is 0.2‰ to 1‰, the mass fraction of the second additive is 0.1‰ to 0.4‰, and the mass fraction of the organic electron transport material is 1.86% to 1.97%.
[0094] In some of these embodiments, the mass fraction of the first additive in the solute forming the electron transport layer 14 is 1% to 5%, the mass fraction of the second additive is 0.5% to 2%, and the mass fraction of the organic electron transport material is 93% to 98.5%.
[0095] Step S500: A metal electrode 15 is formed on the electron transport layer 14.
[0096] A metal electrode 15 is manufactured on the electron transport layer 14 using a thermal evaporation process, where the deposition rate of the thermal evaporation process may be set according to the actual demand, and the material of the metal electrode 15 may be an electrode material commonly used in this field.
[0097] In one specific example, the evaporation rate is 0.2 Å / s, and a metallic Ag electrode with a thickness of 110 nm is fabricated and formed.
[0098] The method for manufacturing the perovskite solar cell 1 of this application involves spin-coating a solution containing an organic electron transport material, a first additive, and a second additive onto a perovskite layer 13 using a spin-coating process to produce an electron transport layer 14. By using the specific first and second additives of this application in the electron transport layer 14, the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell 1 can be effectively improved.
[0099] Furthermore, by using a mixed solvent containing a first organic solvent and a second organic solvent, the first organic solvent is a low-boiling point solvent, and the second organic solvent is a high-boiling point solvent. The first and second organic solvents are mixed in a specific volume ratio, and the organic electron transport material, the first additive, and the second additive are dispersed in this mixed solvent system. By adjusting the volume ratio of the different solvents based on the differences in boiling point and viscosity (generally, solvents with high boiling points have relatively high viscosity, and solvents with low boiling points have relatively low viscosity) between the first and second organic solvents, the crystal order and uniformity of the organic electron transport material molecules and the first and second additives can be optimized, and molecular orientation can be induced. This enhances the thin film quality and conductivity of the electron transport layer 14, and improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite solar cell 1.
[0100] One embodiment of this application provides a photovoltaic module including the perovskite solar cell described in this application. The photovoltaic module of this application has relatively high photoelectric conversion efficiency and relatively good stability by using the perovskite solar cell described in this application.
[0101] The above-mentioned photovoltaic module includes one or more perovskite solar cells, which may be selected depending on the specific application scenario. Furthermore, the photovoltaic module includes multiple perovskite solar cells, which are connected in series or in parallel to form a battery cell.
[0102] In some of these embodiments, the photovoltaic module further includes a photovoltaic glass layer, an adhesive layer, and a backplate.
[0103] An adhesive layer is provided on each of the two surfaces of the battery cell. A back plate is provided on the surface of one of the adhesive layers that is separated from the battery cell, and a solar power generation glass layer is provided on the surface of the other adhesive layer that is separated from the battery cell.
[0104] The photovoltaic glass layer and backplate are used to protect the perovskite solar cell, providing sealing, insulation, and waterproofing functions. The adhesive layer adheres the photovoltaic glass layer to the battery cell and the backplate to the battery cell.
[0105] Selectively, the material of the photovoltaic glass layer is tempered glass, TPT (polyfluoroethylene) or TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) is used as the material of the backplate, and EVA (polyethylene-polyvinyl acetate copolymer) is used as the material of the adhesive layer.
[0106] Furthermore, the above-mentioned solar power generation module further includes a junction box and an outer frame.
[0107] A junction box is used to protect the entire power generation system of a solar power module. It acts as a current relay station, and if a battery cell is short-circuited, the junction box automatically disconnects the short-circuited battery string.
[0108] The outer frame can support and protect the entire solar power generation module, and the frame may be made of aluminum alloy, which has excellent strength and corrosion resistance.
[0109] Furthermore, silica gel is used to bond and seal the connections between the frame and other parts of the photovoltaic module. The photovoltaic module can convert solar energy into electrical energy, send it to a battery for storage, or power the operation of a load.
[0110] In some of these embodiments, the photovoltaic power generation module is a solar cell panel.
[0111] One embodiment of this application provides a photovoltaic power generation system including the above-described photovoltaic power generation module.
[0112] The photovoltaic power generation system utilizes perovskite solar cells in the above-mentioned photovoltaic power generation module to directly convert solar radiation energy into electrical energy, resulting in high efficiency and good stability. Furthermore, the above-mentioned photovoltaic power generation system is a photovoltaic system.
[0113] A photovoltaic module is the core component of a photovoltaic system, and the photovoltaic system includes one or more photovoltaic modules, which may be selected depending on the specific application scenario. Furthermore, if the photovoltaic system includes multiple photovoltaic modules, the multiple photovoltaic modules form a photovoltaic array.
[0114] The above-mentioned photovoltaic power generation system may be an independent photovoltaic system or a grid-connected photovoltaic system.
[0115] An independent photovoltaic system includes a solar power array, battery pack, charge controller, power converter (inverter), and load. Its operating principle is that solar radiation energy is first converted into electrical energy via the solar power array, then converted again by the power converter before being supplied to the load. At the same time, any excess electrical energy is stored in an energy storage device in the form of chemical energy via the charge controller. In the event of insufficient sunlight, the energy stored in the battery is boosted by a power converter, filter, and commercial frequency transformer, and then supplied to the AC load as 220V, 50Hz AC electrical energy.
[0116] The grid-connected photovoltaic system includes a photovoltaic array, a high-frequency DC / DC boost circuit, a power-electronic converter (inverter), and a system monitor. Its operating principle is that solar radiation energy is converted by the photovoltaic array, then further converted to high-frequency DC, becoming high-voltage DC, and then converted by a power-electronic inverter to output a sinusoidal AC current with a frequency matched to the grid voltage to the grid.
[0117] The two photovoltaic systems described above each have their own characteristics and may be selected depending on the specific application scenario.
[0118] Referring to Figure 2, one embodiment of the present application provides a power consumption device 2 including the perovskite solar cell described in the present application.

The starting voltage was set to -0.2V, the cutoff voltage to 1.2V, and the scanning speed to 200mV / s. Reverse / forward scanning was performed, and the short-circuit current density (Jsc), open-circuit voltage (Voc), and fill factor (FF) were recorded.
[0144] Then, the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of the perovskite solar cell was calculated using the formula: PCE = Jsc × Voc × FF / optical power density × 100%.
