A method for preparing perovskite thin film and stacked solar cell
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 2024103999177, filed with the Patent Office of China on April 3, 2024, entitled “A method for preparing a perovskite thin film and a stacked solar cell”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention mainly relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a method for preparing a perovskite thin film and a stacked solar cell. Background Art
[0003] The statements herein merely provide background information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0004] Solar energy, a sought-after new clean energy source, boasts abundant resources and low costs. Converting solar energy into electricity using photovoltaic cells is currently one of the most efficient ways to utilize solar energy. Monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon solar cells have relatively mature industrial technologies. In recent years, perovskite solar cells have garnered widespread attention from both the scientific and industrial communities due to their advantages, including adjustable band gaps, low exciton binding forces, and high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0005] Most existing crystalline silicon / perovskite tandem solar cells are fabricated using polished crystalline silicon base cells. This is because existing perovskite film formation methods are generally targeted at polished substrates, whereas the surfaces of crystalline silicon cells currently commercialized on a large scale are mostly textured. Textured surfaces significantly reduce the device's reflection of incident light and enhance light absorption, an essential requirement for high-efficiency solar cells. Consequently, current crystalline silicon / perovskite tandem solar cells based on polished crystalline silicon base cells generally suffer from high light absorption losses and low short-circuit current density.
[0006] In this regard, the use of textured crystalline silicon substrates is an inevitable option for further improving the performance of crystalline silicon / perovskite tandem solar cells. To prepare conformal, fully covered perovskite films on textured crystalline silicon substrates, a two-step evaporation and solution method is commonly used. In the first step, a conformal lead iodide or lead iodide-cesium bromide mixed film is prepared by evaporation. In the second step, a mixed ammonium salt solution reacts with the evaporated film to form a conformal perovskite film.
[0007] However, this traditional two-step method produces conformal perovskite films with a large amount of lead iodide residue because the lead iodide hardly reacts completely with the ammonium salt solution. This free lead iodide forms numerous defects within the perovskite film, resulting in low-quality perovskite films and thus affecting device performance. Application Contents
[0008] The present invention aims to overcome the problem that existing perovskite film preparation methods cannot produce high-quality, low-defect-density conformal perovskite films. A perovskite film preparation method and a tandem solar cell are proposed. This method introduces organic vapor deposition into the first step of the conventional two-step co-evaporation method. Subsequently, a second step of dissolving and etching to remove organic matter is added, thereby converting the dense lead iodide film formed by evaporation into a loose, porous film. This method increases the contact surface area of the lead iodide film with the ammonium salt solution in the third step, thereby allowing the lead iodide to react more completely with the ammonium salt solution, forming a high-quality, low-defect-density conformal perovskite film and improving device performance. The tandem solar cell prepared by this method has higher stability and light conversion efficiency.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following specific solutions.

[0100] Referring to Figures 1-2, this embodiment provides a stacked solar cell having the same device structure as that of Example 1. However, the difference between the preparation method and that of Example 1 lies in step 6. In this embodiment, step 6 is as follows:
[0101] Lead iodide, cesium bromide, and propylene diamine bromide are evaporated on the surface of the hole transport layer 13 by a co-evaporation method to form a lead iodide film L1. The evaporation rate of lead iodide is 8A / s, the evaporation rate of cesium bromide is controlled at 0.8A / s, the evaporation rate of propylene diamine bromide is 0.4A / s, the total evaporation time is 1000s, the content ratio of lead iodide to cesium bromide is controlled at 10:1, and the ratio of propylene diamine bromide to lead iodide and cesium bromide is 5:100.

[0102] Example 3 Battery device obtained based on the preparation method of perovskite film containing 10% organic additives
[0103] This embodiment provides a stacked solar cell having the same device structure as that of Example 2, but the difference in the preparation method from that of Example 2 is that the evaporation rate of propylenediamine bromide in step 6 is 0.8 A / s, and the ratio of propylenediamine bromide to lead iodide and cesium bromide is 1:10.
[0104] Example 4: Solar cell device obtained based on the preparation method of perovskite film containing 20% organic additives
[0105] This embodiment provides a stacked solar cell having the same device structure as that of Example 2, but the difference in the preparation method from that of Example 2 is that the evaporation rate of propylenediamine bromide in step 6 is 1.6 A / s, and the ratio of propylenediamine bromide to lead iodide and cesium bromide is 1:5.
[0106] A solar simulator was used to perform a standard solar intensity calibration and a solar light intensity calibration was performed on an area of 1.0 cm 2 The devices obtained in Examples 1 to 4 above were subjected to IV testing, with the starting voltage set to 1.95V, the cut-off voltage set to 0V, the range set to 100 mA, and the results rounded to two decimal places. The test results are shown in the following table:
[0107] Device photoelectric conversion efficiency (%) Open circuit voltage (v) Short circuit current density (mA / cm 2 ) Decay rate / stability (% / year) Example 1 26.20 1.86 18.26 4.92 Example 2 31.38 2.10 21.34 0.92 Example 3 33.68 2.11 21.63 0.52 Example 4 30.34 2.09 21.16 1.02
[0108] Can learn from the test data obtained by experiment, in embodiment 1, based on the prepared perovskite film of conventional method, because its first step film and second step ammonium salt solution reaction are incomplete.Ammonium salt solution is difficult to penetrate into the film bottom prepared by the first step, and the perovskite film inside and the bottom of its formation have a large amount of lead iodides to remain, and film quality is low.In embodiment 2-4, through the first step lead iodide film of co-steaming dissolution solution three-step method processing, because its porous characteristic has larger reaction surface area, can react with the ammonium salt solution of the second step more completely.Ammonium salt solution also can better contact with the bottom by porous structure and lead iodide film inside.Based on the prepared perovskite film of selective dissolution process, inside does not have lead iodide to remain, and film quality is high.
[0109] In terms of device performance, the stacked devices of Examples 2-4, prepared using the solution process, all exhibited significantly higher photoelectric conversion efficiency, short-circuit current, and open-circuit voltage than the stacked device of Example 1, prepared using conventional methods. Furthermore, the stacked devices of Examples 2-4 also exhibited significantly higher stability than that of Example 1. This is demonstrated by the device degradation rate of Example 1, which was as high as 4.9% per year, while the degradation rates of the stacked devices of Examples 2-4 were all less than 1.1% per year.
[0110] The invention also optimizes the organic doping ratio for the three-step co-evaporation and dissolution process. Optimization results show that for this process, an organic doping ratio of 1:10 achieves optimal results. This is reflected in the stacked device in Example 3, based on these optimized parameters, achieving higher photoelectric conversion efficiency and open-circuit voltage than Examples 2 and 4.
