Preparation method of high-stability inorganic perovskite solar cell
[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202410475323.X filed on April 19, 2024, and entitled "Preparation method of all-inorganic perovskite solar cell", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present application relates to the field of solar cells, in particular to a preparation method of high-stability inorganic perovskite solar cell. BACKGROUND
[0003] With the increasing demand for renewable energy worldwide, solar cells as an important clean energy device have attracted widespread attention in research and application. Among them, perovskite solar cells have become one of the research hotspots due to their high efficiency, low cost and easy preparation. Perovskite is a material with ABX3 structure, where A and B are cations and X is an anion. In solar cells, perovskite is usually used as a light-absorbing layer, which can effectively absorb sunlight and generate electron - hole pairs. In addition, inorganic materials are widely used in the preparation of solar cells due to their stability and reliability.
[0004] The existing preparation technology of perovskite solar cells mainly includes solution method and vacuum method. Solution method mainly prepares perovskite thin film on the substrate by spin coating, blade coating and other methods, and then crystallizes the thin film by heat treatment and other methods. Vacuum method mainly prepares perovskite thin film on the substrate by sputtering, evaporation and other methods. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, for example, the advantages of solution method are simple equipment and low cost, but the quality of the prepared thin film is not as good as that of vacuum method; while the advantages of vacuum method are that the thickness and composition of the thin film can be accurately controlled, but the equipment is complex and the cost is high.
[0005] Therefore, although the existing preparation technology of perovskite solar cells has made certain progress, there are still some problems and challenges. For example: 1) The existing preparation method often needs to use organic solvents, which not only increases the production cost, but also may cause environmental pollution. 2) The existing preparation method often needs to be carried out at high temperature, which may cause the decomposition of perovskite thin film and affect the performance of the cell. 3) In addition, the existing preparation method often cannot realize large-area and uniform thin film preparation, which also limits the large-scale application of perovskite solar cells.

[0062] S9, the current substrate is packaged by using a laminator to obtain a high-stability inorganic perovskite solar cell, wherein the current substrate is a part of the high-stability inorganic perovskite solar cell prepared in the current step.
[0063] In one example, the packaging material can use ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer can be doped with hollow glass beads, and the diameter of the hollow glass beads can be 1-10μm. The hollow glass beads have the characteristics of high porosity, light weight, large volume, large specific surface area, low thermal conductivity, excellent mechanical properties and flexibility, and can improve the heat preservation, heat insulation, water isolation and gas isolation capacity of the device after packaging, and the nano-microporous hollow glass beads can also reduce the damage of the lamination temperature to the absorption layer, and improve the battery efficiency and stability. Since the addition of the nano-microporous hollow glass beads can improve the heat preservation, heat insulation, water isolation and gas isolation capacity of the device after packaging, reduce the damage of the lamination temperature to the absorption layer, and improve the battery efficiency and stability.
[0064] In the embodiment of the application, the radio frequency ion source RL1 is used to clean the surface of the glass, and the radio frequency ion source RL1 can generate gas ions to remove surface impurities. The core function is to ionize the gas through the radio frequency electromagnetic field to form a directional high-energy ion flow, so that the glass surface can be cleaned very cleanly, and the cleaning effect is good, and no organic solvent is used. The radio frequency power supplies RP1-RP9 are conventional sputtering power supplies, which focus on high-frequency plasma excitation, have high output power, and are used for growing thin films. The ion sources L1-L3 are used for auxiliary doping, and a small amount of ions is injected or doped into the thin film, and ionization is achieved by directly breaking the gas through high-voltage arc or by bombarding gas molecules through electron beams.
[0065] The application avoids the use of organic solvents, reduces production costs, and also reduces environmental pollution; by precisely controlling sputtering parameters such as power, angle, gas flow, etc., large-area, uniform thin film preparation can be achieved, and the performance of the perovskite solar cell is improved; by using an electron cyclotron resonance source for co-sputtering during sputtering, a high-performance ion source is formed, thereby stabilizing the absorption layer structure and improving the stability of the perovskite solar cell. By adjusting the sputtering parameters, different types of thin films can be easily prepared, improving the flexibility of the preparation process; by optimizing the design and layout of the target material and changing the target sputtering angle, the doping concentration, depth, and sputtering parameters can be adjusted to accurately control the thickness and performance of the thin film, effectively improving the overall uniformity and performance of the thin film solar cell, thereby improving the performance and stability of the solar cell.
[0066] Since the preparation methods have the same parts, in some possible embodiments, the chamber CB2 and the chamber CB5 are the same chamber, the chamber CB3 and the chamber CB6 are one chamber; the chamber CB4 and the chamber CB8 are one chamber, thereby saving space, saving equipment, and reducing production costs.
[0067] The chamber CB2 and the chamber CB5 can be the same chamber, and in steps S2 and S5, two planar target cathodes need to be placed opposite to each other for magnetron sputtering, i.e., two planar target cathodes of the radio frequency power source RP1 and the ion source L1 are placed opposite to each other, and two planar target cathodes of the radio frequency power source RP4 and the radio frequency power source RP5 are placed opposite to each other. Therefore, in S2 and S5, one chamber can be shared by steps S2 and S5 by replacing the target material. The chamber CB3 and the chamber CB6 can be the same chamber, and steps S3 and S6 both need two planar target cathodes to be placed opposite to each other for magnetron sputtering, so in S3 and S6, one chamber can be shared by steps S3 and S6 by replacing the target material. When the magnetron sputtering preparation method is used in step S4, the chamber CB4 and the chamber CB8 can be the same chamber, and S4 and S8 both use only one planar target for magnetron sputtering, and when shared, only the target material needs to be replaced after the end of step S4 and adjusted to the parameters required by S8.
[0068] Of course, in other possible embodiments, the chambers CB1-CB8 can all be different chambers.
[0069] The RF power source in the present application is connected with the ion source, which means that the RF power source shares the cathode with the ion source; the RF power source is connected with the ECR source, which means that the RF power source shares the cathode with the ECR source. In some possible scenarios, the RF power source can share the cathode with the ion source or the ECR, and can share the gas flow meter channel when controlling the gas flow. Among the multiple RF power sources, at least 4 movable RF power sources, 2 movable ion sources, and 1 movable ECR source are needed, that is, ion source assisted magnetron sputtering can be performed. Specifically, the RF power sources RP1-RP4 can share any one of the RF power sources RP5-RP9, for example, the RF power sources RP1-RP4 can be used to perform the functions of the RF power sources RP5-RP8 (wherein the RF power source RP4 and the RF power source RP5 are different RF power sources because both of them are used in step S5, and one of the RF power sources RP1-RP3 can be used to perform the function of the RF power source RP5, for example, the RF power source RP1 is used to perform the function of the RF power source RP5, that is, the RF power source RP1 is used to perform the function of the RF power source RP5 with one RF power source), and after step S5 is completed, the RF power source RP4 or RP5 is used to perform the function of the RF power source RP9. Any one of the ion sources L1 and L2 can be used to perform the function of the ion source L3. In the embodiment of the present application, the thin film can be prepared in a low electron beam energy and high ionization rate environment, which reduces sputtering damage, ion damage, etc., and does not affect the denseness of the underlying thin film.
