Abstract
Description
A composite transmission layer and perovskite solar cell and preparation method thereof Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of perovskite solar cell preparation, and in particular relates to a composite transmission layer and a perovskite solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Common perovskite solar cell device structures include positive-type NIP cell devices and inverted-type PIN cell devices. Positive-type devices, in this case, include at least the following: a transparent conductive layer, an electron transport layer, a perovskite active layer, a hole transport layer, and a back electrode, starting from the light-incident surface. Inverted-type devices, in this case, include at least the following: a transparent conductive layer, a hole transport layer, a perovskite active layer, an electron transport layer, and a back electrode, starting from the light-incident surface. Compared to positive-type devices, inverted-type devices do not require the use of highly photocatalytically active TiO2 or the expensive hole transport material Spiro-OMeTAD. They can be prepared at low temperatures, have simple processes, and exhibit excellent stability. Despite this, the majority of current high conversion efficiencies are in positive-type devices, with the highest reaching 26%, while the conversion efficiencies of inverted-type devices are mostly concentrated between 22% and 24%. Further optimization of the hole transport layer and interface in inverted-type devices is crucial for improving the conversion efficiency of inverted-type devices.
[0003] The main reasons for the low conversion efficiency of inverted PIN cell devices are: the energy band mismatch between the first interface formed by the transparent conductive layer and the hole transport layer, and the large number of interface defects between the second interface formed by the hole transport layer and the perovskite active layer. The optional materials for the hole transport layer are generally divided into three categories: 1) inorganic oxides or inorganic salts; 2) organic polymers; 3) organic small molecules. Among them, the typical options for the first type of inorganic oxides or inorganic salts include NiO x , V2O5, CuO, CuSCN, etc.; Typical options for the second type of organic polymers include P3HT, PTAA, etc.; Typical options for the third type of organic small molecules include spiro-OMeTAD and PAC z Self-assembly materials, etc. The first type of materials are easy to obtain and low in cost, but their good hole transport performance comes from the defects in the materials themselves. A higher defect density is often required to obtain better hole transport performance. However, a higher defect density will deteriorate the photothermal stability of the second interface between the hole transport layer and the perovskite active layer, making it difficult to achieve both high conversion efficiency and good stability. x For example, in order to improve its hole mobility, it is necessary to increase the uncoordinated Ni 3+ concentration, but high concentration of Ni 3+ It also promotes NiO xThe source of the photocatalytic reaction at the perovskite interface. Materials in the second category generally require a longer synthesis path, have better hole transport properties, and are more easily obtained with high conversion efficiency inversion devices. However, their biggest drawback is the poor photostability of the polymer materials themselves. They are prone to self-decomposition under long-term outdoor light exposure, resulting in rapid performance degradation of the inversion device. Materials in the third category can further improve the conversion efficiency of inversion devices based on materials in the second category. However, similar to materials in the second category, due to the use of organic matter, they lack stability under long-term light exposure. To address these issues, there have been reports of using a composite structure of an inorganic hole transport layer and an organic hole transport layer or a method of passivating the inorganic hole transport layer. However, using a composite structure of an inorganic hole transport layer and an organic hole transport layer is a poor solution because the organic layer will still decompose under long-term light exposure, eliminating the effect of the composite structure. Passivating the inorganic hole transport layer often sacrifices conversion efficiency in exchange for improved stability, making it a stopgap measure.
[0004] Furthermore, existing hole transport layers are typically made from inorganic oxides. These materials present the following challenges: 1) the structure formed by inorganic oxides can be too dense, hindering hole conduction; 2) inorganic nanocrystals can easily aggregate over time due to charge imbalances caused by surface defects, which can affect material stability; and 3) the inorganic interface has a large number of disordered dangling bonds, some of which can react with the perovskite material.
[0005] Existing hole transport layers cannot enable perovskite solar cells to achieve both high conversion efficiency and good stability.

[0049] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0050] As shown in FIG1 , a preferred embodiment of the first composite transport layer of the present invention includes a transition layer 1, a hole transport layer 2 and a buffer layer 3 stacked in sequence according to the light incident direction. The transition layer 1 is made of Ni x A y Si z Sn m O n or Cu x A y Si z Sn m O n , wherein x>0, y>=0, z>=0, m>=0, n>0, A is aluminum (Al) or boron (B).

[0051] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 at the same time, the preferred embodiment of the second composite transport layer of the present invention includes a transition layer 1, a hole transport layer 2 and a buffer layer 3 stacked in sequence according to the light incident direction.

[0052] A coupling agent is also doped into the materials used to prepare the transition layer 1 and / or the buffer layer 3. The film formed from the transition layer 1 and / or the buffer layer 3 doped with the coupling agent comprises a plurality of discretely arranged array molecular clusters 11 containing the coupling agent, and openings 10 separating two adjacent molecular clusters. Each opening 10 connects the upper and lower surfaces of the film. The coupling agent can be any one of a silane coupling agent, a titanate coupling agent, an aluminate coupling agent, a phosphate coupling agent, and a borate coupling agent.
[0053] Specifically, the amount of the coupling agent added is 0.5-5% of the volume of the nanoparticle suspension to be added to prepare the transition layer 1 and / or the buffer layer 3, and the concentration of the nanoparticle suspension is 0.1-10 wt.%.
[0054] Specifically, the length of the opening 10 (ie, the interval between two adjacent molecular clusters) is 10 nm to 200 nm.
[0055] Specifically, in the first composite transport layer and the second composite transport layer of the present invention, the thickness of the transition layer 1 is 0.2 nm to 30 nm, the thickness of the hole transport layer 2 is 1 nm to 100 nm, and the thickness of the buffer layer 3 is 0.2 nm to 50 nm.
[0056] Referring again to FIG. 1 , the present invention further discloses a first perovskite solar cell. The internal structure of the perovskite solar cell comprises a transparent conductive layer 5, a perovskite light-absorbing layer 6, an electron transport layer 7, and a back electrode 8, stacked in sequence. The first composite transport layer 4, as described above, is disposed between the transparent conductive layer 5 and the perovskite light-absorbing layer 6. The transition layer 1 of the composite transport layer 4 is in contact with the transparent conductive layer 5, and the buffer layer 3 thereof is in contact with the perovskite light-absorbing layer 6. The hole transport layer 2 is located between the transition layer 1 and the buffer layer 3.
[0057] Referring to Figures 2-4 , the present invention also discloses a second perovskite solar cell. The internal structure of the perovskite solar cell comprises a transparent conductive layer 5, a perovskite light-absorbing layer 6, an electron transport layer 7, and a back electrode 8, stacked in sequence. A second composite transport layer 4, as previously described, is disposed between the transparent conductive layer 5 and the perovskite light-absorbing layer 6. The transition layer 1 of the composite transport layer 4 is in contact with the transparent conductive layer 5, and the buffer layer 3 thereof is in contact with the perovskite light-absorbing layer 6. The hole transport layer 2 is located between the transition layer 1 and the buffer layer 3.
[0058] In the first perovskite solar cell and the second perovskite solar cell of the present invention, the molecular formula of the material for preparing the perovskite light-absorbing layer 6 is ABX3, wherein A is at least one cation selected from the group consisting of cesium, rubidium, amine, amidine, and alkali; B is any one of divalent metal cations selected from the group consisting of lead, tin, tungsten, copper, zinc, gallium, germanium, arsenic, selenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, cadmium, indium, antimony, osmium, iridium, platinum, gold, mercury, thallium, bismuth, and polonium; and X is any one of an anion selected from the group consisting of iodine, bromine, chlorine, astatine, thiocyanate, and acetate.
[0059] The composite transport layer of the second perovskite solar cell of the present invention has the following characteristics:
[0060] 1. The nanoparticles simply form openings during coating, which solves the problem of the inorganic oxide layer structure being too dense, eliminates the influence of the thickness of the transition layer and the buffer layer on the electrical tunneling, reduces the non-radiative recombination between the interface of the perovskite light absorption layer and the hole transport layer, and does not affect the carrier transport.
[0061] 2. Inorganic nanocrystals tend to aggregate over long periods of use due to charge imbalance caused by surface defects. Once aggregated, this can affect material stability. The bonding and dispersing effects of coupling agents prevent this phenomenon, improving material and device stability.
[0062] 3. There are a large number of disordered dangling bonds on the surface of the inorganic interface. The use of coupling agents can also play a role in passivating the dangling bonds on the surface of the inorganic matter, thereby inhibiting the photocatalytic reaction at the interface between the inorganic matter and the perovskite, and further improving the stability.

This invention introduces p-type dopants such as Al, B, and Si into the transition layer, creating a doping concentration gradient and energy level transition between the transparent conductive layer and the hole transport layer. Furthermore, the buffer layer replaces organic matter with nitrogen-containing inorganics, which have excellent photothermal stability and passivate surface defects in the hole transport layer, improving the stability of the second interface between the hole transport layer and the perovskite light-absorbing layer.
[0127] 2.

[0148] Step 67: Prepare a back electrode 8 (Ag) on the surface of the electron transport layer 7 and the barrier layer until the preparation of the perovskite solar cell is completed.
[0149] The composite transport layer of the second perovskite solar cell of the present invention also has the following characteristics:
[0150] 1. Conventional transparent conductive layers, such as FTO, are n-type doped. This invention introduces p-type dopants such as Al, B, and Si into the transition layer, creating a doping concentration gradient and energy level transition between the transparent conductive layer and the hole transport layer. Furthermore, the buffer layer replaces organic matter with nitrogen-containing inorganics, which have excellent photothermal stability and passivate surface defects in the hole transport layer, improving the stability of the second interface between the hole transport layer and the perovskite light-absorbing layer.
[0151] 2. The perovskite solar cell of the present invention has greatly improved the light stability of the perovskite solar cell due to the use of a composite transmission layer. x As the hole transport layer, Ni is mainly composed of Ni 2+ 、Ni 3+ and a small amount of Ni 4+ exists in the form of 3+ Can improve carrier transport, but Ni 3+ The presence of high-valent Ni also causes Ni photocatalysis, affecting the light stability of perovskite solar cells. The transition layer proposed by the present invention allows the hole transport material to transition to the perovskite material, while controlling the Ni content in the transition layer. 3+ As well as the proportion of high-priced Ni, the light stability of perovskite solar cells is greatly improved.
[0152] 3. When coating, the nanoparticles simply form openings, which solves the problem of the inorganic oxide layer structure being too dense, eliminates the influence of the thickness of the transition layer and the buffer layer on the electrical tunneling, reduces the non-radiative recombination between the interface of the perovskite light absorption layer and the hole transport layer, and does not affect the carrier transport.
[0153] 4. Inorganic nanocrystals tend to aggregate over long periods of time due to charge imbalance caused by surface defects. Once aggregated, this can affect material stability. The bonding and dispersing effects of coupling agents prevent this phenomenon, improving material and device stability.
[0154] 5. There are a large number of disordered dangling bonds on the surface of the inorganic interface. The use of coupling agents can also play a role in passivating the dangling bonds on the surface of the inorganic material, thereby inhibiting the photocatalytic reaction at the interface between the inorganic material and the perovskite, and further improving the stability.
[0155] Please refer to Figure 9, which shows the conversion efficiency curve of the perovskite solar cell (i.e., a three-layer structure / including an array transition layer) prepared in Example 5 of the present invention.

The difference between Comparative Example 4 and Example 6 is that Comparative Example 4 does not contain a buffer layer. The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 6 is that Comparative Example 3 does not contain a transition layer and the buffer layer is not in an array shape. As can be seen from Figure 9, the open circuit voltage and fill factor of the three-layer hole transport composite structure containing Example 5 of the present invention are significantly improved compared to Comparative Examples 1, 4, and 3. The open circuit voltage of the perovskite solar cell of Example 5 of the present invention reaches 1.147V and the FF reaches 79.23%. At the same time, it can be seen from the comparison between Figure 9 and Figure 5 that the efficiency of the perovskite solar cell device prepared by the three-layer composite structure including the array structure is also better than the three-layer composite structure without the array. The open circuit voltage is increased from 1.136V to 1.147V, the fill factor is significantly improved from 76.62% to 79.23%, and the conversion efficiency is increased from 19.64% to 20.34%, and the conversion efficiency is increased by about 3.6%.

The light stability is greatly improved, with no attenuation after 2000 hours of light aging and less than 3% attenuation after 3500 hours. At the same time, comparing Figure 7 and Figure 10, the light stability of the perovskite solar cell device prepared by the three-layer composite structure including the array structure is also better than the three-layer composite structure without the array, and the attenuation after 3500 hours is reduced from about 5% to less than 3%.
