Technical Field
[0003] This application relates to the field of solar cell technology, and further to perovskite solar cells and their preparation methods, power generation devices, and power consumption devices. Background Technology
[0004] The statements herein are provided only as background information in connection with this application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0005] With the development of photovoltaic technology, solar cells are increasingly widely used in various electronic products such as smartphones, tablets, smart wearables, power tools, and electric vehicles. Among them, perovskite solar cells are devices that convert solar energy into electrical energy using the photoelectric conversion mechanism of perovskite crystalline materials. They are currently the third generation of solar cells, possessing advantages such as high photoelectric conversion efficiency, simple fabrication process, and low production cost, and have been extensively studied in recent years. Improving the energy conversion efficiency and device stability of perovskite solar cells is one of the important directions for improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0006] According to various embodiments and examples of this application, this application provides a perovskite solar cell, a method for its fabrication, a power generation device, and a power consumption device thereof. This perovskite solar cell exhibits improved device stability and high energy conversion efficiency.
[0007] In a first aspect of this application, a perovskite solar cell is provided.
[0008] In some embodiments, a perovskite solar cell is provided, comprising a first electrode, a first charge transport layer, a light-absorbing layer, a second charge transport layer, and a second electrode arranged sequentially; the light-absorbing layer comprises a perovskite material; at least one of the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer comprises a microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer; the microporous layer is provided with micropores and a sealing gas located at the micropores.
[0009] In some embodiments, a perovskite solar cell is provided, comprising a first electrode, a first charge transport layer, a light-absorbing layer, a second charge transport layer, and a second electrode arranged sequentially; one of the first charge transport layer and the second charge transport layer is an electron transport layer, and the other is a hole transport layer.
[0010] The light-absorbing layer comprises a perovskite material;
[0011] At least one of the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer includes a microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer; the microporous layer is provided with micropores and a sealed gas located at the micropores;
[0012] The sealed gas includes perovskite-related gases, which include at least one of a first gas and a second gas. The first gas refers to the gas that can be generated when the perovskite material degrades, and the second gas refers to the gas that can participate in the synthesis reaction of the perovskite material.
[0013] For perovskite solar cells where the light-absorbing layer includes perovskite material, a multilayer structure including a microporous layer and a dense layer is provided on at least one side of the electron transport layer and hole transport layer on both sides of the light-absorbing layer. The microporous layer is located between the dense layer and the light-absorbing layer, and a gas can be placed in the microporous layer for storage. The dense layer can provide better carrier transport capability for the corresponding functional layer (which can be at least one of the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer).
[0014] Furthermore, utilizing the stability-enhancing effect of encapsulation gases on perovskite materials can improve device stability and energy conversion efficiency. Specifically, encapsulation gases can enhance the stability of perovskite materials by inhibiting degradation and / or promoting structural repair. Perovskite-related gases can be incorporated into the encapsulation gas. A first gas can be used to increase the concentration of degradation products, thereby inhibiting the degradation reaction. Alternatively, a second gas, capable of participating in perovskite synthesis, can be used to achieve structural repair of the perovskite material. Through one or both of these mechanisms, the stability of perovskite materials can be improved, thus enhancing device stability and facilitating higher energy conversion efficiency.
[0015] In addition, the dense layer can protect the corresponding side electrode. For the degradation gas that may be generated by the light-absorbing layer, it forms a barrier between the electrode and the light-absorbing layer, which can reduce or prevent the degradation gas that may be generated by the light-absorbing layer from diffusing to the electrode, thereby helping to avoid or slow down electrode aging.
[0016] In some embodiments, the perovskite-related gas includes at least one of nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor, wherein the nitrogen-containing gas includes gases that can be formed from organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation.
[0017] In some embodiments, the perovskite solar cell satisfies at least one of the following characteristics:
[0018] (ta1) The perovskite material includes organic nitrogen, and the storage gas includes the nitrogen-containing gas;
[0019] (ta2) The perovskite material includes iodine, and the sealing gas includes iodine vapor;
[0020] (ta3) The first gas includes at least one of the nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor;
[0021] (ta4) The second gas includes at least one of the nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor;
[0022] (ta5) The sealed gas includes at least one of the nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor.
[0023] In some embodiments, the perovskite solar cell satisfies at least one of the following characteristics:
[0024] (ta1') The perovskite material includes organic nitrogen, and the encapsulation gas includes one or more of ammonia, methylamine and formamidin;
[0025] (ta2') The perovskite material includes iodine, and the storage gas includes iodine vapor;
[0026] (ta3') The first gas includes at least one of ammonia, methylamine, formamidin, and iodine vapor;
[0027] (ta4') The second gas includes at least one of ammonia, methylamine, formamidin, and iodine vapor;
[0028] (ta5') The sealed gas includes at least one of ammonia, methylamine, formamidin, and iodine vapor.
[0029] At least one of nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor can be added to the sealing gas (wherein, the nitrogen-containing gas includes the gas that can be formed when organic nitrogen-containing perovskite materials degrade; and iodine vapor may be generated when perovskite materials containing iodine degrade). At least one of nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor can be used to increase the concentration of degradation products of perovskite materials and inhibit the degradation reaction. Alternatively, at least one of nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor can be used to participate in perovskite synthesis to achieve structural repair of perovskite materials. Through one or both of the aforementioned mechanisms, the stability of perovskite materials can be improved, thereby improving device stability and also facilitating the achievement of higher energy conversion efficiency.
[0030] In some embodiments, the perovskite material comprises a monovalent cation and a monovalent anion, and the perovskite material comprises at least one of a monovalent organic cation and an iodine anion.
[0031] When the perovskite material includes at least one of monovalent organic cations and iodine anions, the use of the aforementioned perovskite battery structure to set up the sealing gas has a more significant effect on improving device stability and energy conversion efficiency.
[0032] In some embodiments, the perovskite material comprises a monovalent cation, wherein the monovalent cation comprises an organic component with a molar percentage of 10 mol% to 100 mol%.
[0033] Optionally, the monovalent cation includes organic components with a molar percentage of 80 mol% to 100 mol%.
[0034] When the monovalent cations in perovskite materials include the aforementioned amounts of organic components, the stability of the perovskite materials and the stability of the devices can be significantly improved by introducing the aforementioned types of encapsulation gases, which can effectively improve energy conversion efficiency.
[0035] In some embodiments, a perovskite solar cell is provided, comprising a first electrode, a first charge transport layer, a light-absorbing layer, a second charge transport layer, and a second electrode arranged sequentially; one of the first charge transport layer and the second charge transport layer is an electron transport layer, and the other is a hole transport layer.
[0036] The light-absorbing layer comprises a perovskite material, which includes a monovalent cation and a monovalent anion, and the perovskite material includes at least one of a monovalent cation containing organic nitrogen and an iodine anion.
[0037] At least one of the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer includes a microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer; the microporous layer is provided with micropores and a sealed gas located at the micropores;
[0038] The sealed gas includes at least one of nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor, wherein the nitrogen-containing gas includes the gas that can be formed when the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material containing organic nitrogen undergoes degradation;
[0039] The perovskite solar cell satisfies at least one of the following characteristics:
[0040] (tb1) The perovskite material includes organic nitrogen, and the storage gas includes the nitrogen-containing gas;
[0041] (tb2) The perovskite material includes iodine, and the containment gas includes iodine vapor.
[0042] For perovskite solar cells where the light-absorbing layer includes perovskite material, when the perovskite material includes at least one of monovalent cations containing organic nitrogen and iodine anions, a multilayer structure including a microporous layer and a dense layer can be formed on at least one side of the electron transport layer and hole transport layer on both sides of the light-absorbing layer. The microporous layer is located between the dense layer and the light-absorbing layer. A containment gas can be placed in the microporous layer, and the dense layer can provide better carrier transport capability for the corresponding functional layer (which can be at least one of the electron transport layer and hole transport layer). Furthermore, at least one of nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor can be placed in the containment gas (wherein, the nitrogen-containing gas includes gases that can be formed from the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation). At least one of the nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor can be used to increase the concentration of degradation products of the perovskite material, thereby inhibiting the degradation reaction. Alternatively, at least one of the nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor can be used to participate in perovskite synthesis, thereby achieving structural repair of the perovskite material. Through one or both of the aforementioned mechanisms, the stability of the perovskite material can be improved, thus improving device stability and facilitating higher energy conversion efficiency.
[0043] In some embodiments, the perovskite material comprises a monovalent cation, which includes a monovalent cation containing organic nitrogen.
[0044] In some embodiments, the molar percentage of the organic nitrogen-containing monovalent cation in the monovalent cation is 10 mol% to 100 mol%.
[0045] Further optionally, the molar percentage of the organic nitrogen-containing monovalent cation in the monovalent cation is 80 mol% to 100 mol%.
[0046] When the monovalent cations in the perovskite material include monovalent cations containing organic nitrogen, a gas that can be formed by the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation can be set in the storage gas. This increases the concentration of degradation products of the perovskite material and inhibits the degradation reaction. It also allows the storage gas to participate in the perovskite synthesis, thereby achieving structural repair of the perovskite material. Thus, the stability of the perovskite material can be improved through one or two of the aforementioned mechanisms, which in turn can improve device stability and is also conducive to achieving higher energy conversion efficiency.
[0047] When the monovalent cations in the perovskite material include the aforementioned content of organic nitrogen-containing monovalent cations, the stability of the perovskite material and the stability of the device can be significantly improved by introducing the aforementioned types of encapsulation gases, which can effectively improve the energy conversion efficiency.
[0048] Based on any suitable embodiment of this application, in some embodiments, the perovskite material includes a monovalent cation, which includes one or more of monovalent amine cations and monovalent amidine cations;
[0049] Optionally, the monovalent cation includes one or more of formamidinium ions and methylamine ions; the nitrogen-containing gas includes one or more of ammonia, methylamine, and formamidinium.
[0050] When the monovalent cations in the perovskite material include monovalent amine cations (such as methylamine ions) and monovalent amidine cations (such as formamidinium ions) (the aforementioned monovalent cations are exemplary monovalent organic cations containing organic nitrogen), if the perovskite material undergoes a degradation reaction, nitrogen-containing gases such as ammonia, methylamine, and formamidinium may be generated. Therefore, by setting the aforementioned nitrogen-containing gases in the sealing gas, the degradation reaction can be suppressed, and it may even be possible to reverse the degradation reaction and synthesize perovskite materials. This can improve the stability of perovskite materials and device stability, as well as increase energy conversion efficiency.
[0051] Based on any suitable embodiment of this application, in some embodiments, the percentage of the sum of the partial pressures of the perovskite-related gases in the microporous layer relative to the total gas pressure in the microporous layer is denoted as R. A In at least one microporous layer, 20% ≤ R A ≤100%;
[0052] Optionally, in at least one microporous layer, 40% ≤ R A ≤100%.
[0053] By R A Controlling the degradation of perovskite materials within the aforementioned range helps to better suppress the degradation of perovskite materials and improve device stability and energy conversion efficiency.
[0054] Based on any suitable embodiment of this application, in some embodiments, in at least one of the microporous layers, the percentage of the sum of the partial pressures of the gas and iodine vapor formed by the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation, relative to the total gas pressure in the microporous layer, is denoted as R. N+I In at least one microporous layer, 0 <R N+I ≤100%;
[0055] Optionally, in at least one microporous layer, 20% ≤ R N+I ≤100%;
[0056] Further optionally, in at least one microporous layer, 40% ≤ R N+I ≤100%.
[0057] When perovskite materials containing organic nitrogen undergo degradation, the percentage of the sum of the partial pressures of the gases formed by the organic nitrogen and iodine vapor in the microporous layer relative to the total gas pressure in the microporous layer (R0). N+I ) can be greater than 0. When 0 <R N+I When the content is ≤100%, at least one of the gases formed by the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation and iodine vapor can be used to inhibit the degradation reaction of the perovskite material, and may even reverse the degradation reaction to increase the content of the perovskite material.
[0058] By R N+I Controlled at 20% ≤ R N+I Within the range of ≤100%, it is beneficial to better suppress the degradation of perovskite materials and better improve device stability and energy conversion efficiency.
[0059] Based on any suitable embodiment of this application, in some embodiments, the pressure ratio between the gas pressure value of the microporous layer and the gas pressure value of the light-absorbing layer is denoted as R. P Satisfying R P ≥1.
[0060] The dense layer can help control the filling of the sealed gas into the microporous layer, providing pressure retention and helping to maintain the gas pressure value of the microporous layer. When R P When the pressure is greater than 1, a positive pressure higher than that of the light-absorbing layer can be set in the microporous layer using the sealing gas. This is the pressure ratio (R0) between the gas pressure of the microporous layer and the gas pressure of the light-absorbing layer. P A value greater than 1 indicates a better inhibition of perovskite material degradation, leading to improved perovskite material stability and device stability, which is more conducive to achieving higher energy conversion efficiency. When the encapsulated gas includes perovskite-related gases and R... P When the value is greater than 1, the degradation of perovskite materials can be inhibited, device stability can be improved, and energy conversion efficiency can be enhanced by utilizing the dual mechanisms of perovskite-related gases and positive pressure in the microporous layer.
[0061] When the sealed gas includes at least one of nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor and R P When the value is greater than 1, the degradation of perovskite materials can be inhibited, device stability can be improved, and energy conversion efficiency can be enhanced by utilizing the dual mechanism of at least one of nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor and the positive pressure of the microporous layer.
[0062] When 0 <R N+I ≤100% and R P When the value is greater than 1, at least one of the gases formed by the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation, and iodine vapor, can be used to inhibit the degradation reaction of the perovskite material, and may even reverse the degradation reaction to increase the perovskite content. Furthermore, the positive pressure difference of the sealed gas (Ro) can also be utilized. P>1) Better suppress the degradation reaction of perovskite materials.
[0063] Based on any suitable implementation of this application, in some implementations, in at least one of the microporous layers, R P >1.
[0064] When R P When the pressure is greater than 1, the gas pressure of the microporous layer is greater than that of the light-absorbing layer, which can better inhibit the degradation of perovskite materials, thereby improving the stability of perovskite materials and device stability, and making it more conducive to achieving higher energy conversion efficiency.
[0065] As R P >1 An example of a combination with any suitable implementation in this application, when R P >1 and 0 <R N+I When the content is ≤100%, the storage gas includes at least one of the gases that can be formed by the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation and iodine vapor. At this time, the degradation of the perovskite material can be inhibited, the device stability can be improved, and the energy conversion efficiency can be improved by utilizing the dual mechanism of at least one of the gases that can be formed by the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation and iodine vapor, as well as the positive pressure of the microporous layer.
[0066] As R P >1 An example of a combination with any suitable implementation in this application, when R P When >1 and the monovalent cation includes organic nitrogen, the monovalent cation includes monovalent cations containing organic nitrogen. This can improve the material stability of the light-absorbing layer by inhibiting the degradation reaction of perovskite materials and possibly promoting the repair of perovskite structure, thereby improving device stability and energy conversion efficiency. It can also utilize the positive pressure difference between the encapsulation gas and the light-absorbing layer to better inhibit the degradation of perovskite materials, thereby improving device stability and energy conversion efficiency.
[0067] In some embodiments, in at least one of the microporous layers, 1 ≤ R P ≤1.1;
[0068] Optionally, in at least one of the microporous layers, 1.01 ≤ R P ≤1.06.
[0069] By R P By controlling the pressure within the aforementioned range, the degradation of perovskite materials can be better suppressed by utilizing the positive pressure of the microporous layer being higher than that of the light-absorbing layer. This also helps to create lower compressive stress within the device, which is more conducive to maintaining the stability of the device structure and performance.
[0070] In some embodiments, the perovskite material comprises monovalent anions, including iodine anions, and the containment gas comprises iodine vapor.
[0071] In some embodiments, in the perovskite material, the molar percentage of iodine anions in the monovalent anions is 0 mol% to 30 mol%.
[0072] Optionally, in the perovskite material, the molar percentage of iodide anions in the monovalent anions is 1 mol% to 5 mol%.
[0073] When the monovalent anions in the perovskite material include iodine anions, iodine vapor may be generated if the perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer undergoes a degradation reaction. In this case, by introducing iodine vapor into the sealing gas, the material stability of the light-absorbing layer can be improved by inhibiting the degradation reaction of the perovskite material and promoting the repair of the perovskite structure, thereby improving the device stability and energy conversion efficiency.
[0074] By controlling the molar percentage of iodine anions in the monovalent anions of perovskite materials within the aforementioned range, it is more beneficial to improve device stability and energy conversion efficiency.
[0075] In some embodiments, the pore size in the microporous layer is 0.1 nm to 100 nm;
[0076] Optionally, the pore size in the microporous layer is 5 nm to 100 nm.
[0077] By adjusting the pore size of the microporous layer, the content of the encapsulated gas can be adjusted. By controlling the pore size of the microporous layer within the aforementioned range, it is beneficial to effectively suppress the degradation of perovskite materials using the encapsulated gas, while also ensuring that the functional layer containing the microporous layer (which can be at least one of an electron transport layer or a hole transport layer) has good carrier transport capability. This results in better device stability, as well as better energy conversion efficiency, short-circuit current density, and other device performance characteristics.
[0078] In some embodiments, the perovskite solar cell satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:
[0079] The electron transport layer includes the microporous layer, and the microporous layer in the electron transport layer includes one or more of the following materials: copper bath, [6,6]-phenyl-C 61 Isomethyl butyrate, [6,6]-phenyl-C 71 -Methyl butyrate, C 60 C 70 Metal oxides, MXene, electron transport derivatives of any of the aforementioned materials, and modified products of any of the aforementioned materials that have been doped or passivated;
[0080] The hole transport layer includes the microporous layer, which comprises one or more of the following materials: carbazole phosphate, poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine], poly-3-hexylthiophene, triphenylamine with a triphenylene core, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-methoxytriphenylamine, N-(4-aniline)carbazole-spirobisfluorene, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonic acid), polythiophene, metal oxides, hole transport derivatives of any of the aforementioned materials, and modified products of any of the aforementioned materials that have been doped or passivated.
[0081] In some embodiments, the metal element in the metal oxide includes one or more of Mg, Cd, Zn, In, Pb, W, Sb, Bi, Hg, Ti, Ag, Mn, Fe, V, Sn, Zr, Sr, Ga, Cr, Ni, Mo, and Cu.
[0082] By adjusting the type of charge transport material in the microporous layer, the carrier transport rate and / or carrier concentration of the microporous layer can be controlled. By incorporating the aforementioned charge transport material into the microporous layer, it is possible to enable the microporous layer to not only inhibit the degradation of perovskite materials but also possess good carrier transport capabilities and high material stability.
[0083] In some embodiments, the perovskite solar cell satisfies at least one of the following characteristics:
[0084] At least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is a transparent electrode;
[0085] The first charge transport layer includes the microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer (at this time, the microporous layer in the first charge transport layer can be referred to as the first microporous layer, and the dense layer in the first charge transport layer can be referred to as the first dense layer).
[0086] The second charge transport layer includes the microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer (at this time, the microporous layer in the second charge transport layer can be referred to as the second microporous layer, and the dense layer in the second charge transport layer can be referred to as the second dense layer).
[0087] The electron transport layer includes the microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer (at this time, the microporous layer in the electron transport layer can be referred to as the electron transport microporous layer, and the dense layer in the electron transport layer can be referred to as the electron transport dense layer);
[0088] The hole transport layer includes the microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer (at this time, the microporous layer in the hole transport layer can be referred to as the hole transport microporous layer, and the dense layer in the hole transport layer can be referred to as the hole transport dense layer).
[0089] Non-limiting, a microporous layer and a dense layer further away from the light-absorbing layer may be provided in one or both of the first charge transport layer and the second charge transport layer.
[0090] Non-limitingly, a microporous layer and a dense layer further away from the light-absorbing layer can be formed in the electron transport layer. Furthermore, by adjusting the type of electron transport material in the electron transport microporous layer, better electron transport capability can be provided while suppressing the degradation of perovskite materials.
[0091] Non-limitingly, a microporous layer and a dense layer further away from the light-absorbing layer can be formed in the hole transport layer. Furthermore, by adjusting the type of hole transport material in the hole transport microporous layer, better hole transport capability can be provided while suppressing the degradation of perovskite materials.
[0092] In some embodiments, both the first charge transport layer and the second charge transport layer include the microporous layer, and at least one of the first charge transport layer and the second charge transport layer has the dense layer on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer; or,
[0093] Both the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer include the microporous layer, and at least one of the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer has the dense layer on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer.
[0094] Non-limitingly, microporous layers can be provided in both the first and second charge transport layers, or microporous layers can be provided in both the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer. This is beneficial for better suppressing the degradation of perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer and for better improving the material stability, device stability, and energy conversion efficiency of the light-absorbing layer. Furthermore, a dense layer can be provided in at least one of the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer. When only a microporous layer is provided in one of the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer, and no dense layer is provided on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer, other structural layers further away from the light-absorbing layer can be used to seal the gas in the microporous layer and maintain the gas pressure value of the microporous layer. For example, an electrode (which can be a transparent electrode) on the corresponding side can be used to prevent the gas sealed in the microporous layer from escaping from the device.
[0095] In some embodiments, the microporous layer and the transparent electrode are sequentially disposed on one side of the light-absorbing layer, and the dense layer may or may not be disposed between the microporous layer and the transparent electrode; the microporous layer and the dense layer are sequentially disposed on the other side of the light-absorbing layer.
[0096] When a microporous layer is provided between the transparent electrode and the light-absorbing layer, and a dense layer is provided on the other side, a dense layer may or may not be provided between the transparent electrode and the microporous layer. When a dense layer is not provided between the transparent electrode and the microporous layer, it is beneficial to increase the transmittance of incident light, reduce process steps, reduce the number of film interfaces, improve the energy conversion efficiency of the device, and reduce the difficulty of the process.
[0097] In some embodiments, the thickness of the microporous layer is denoted as d1, which satisfies 5nm≤d1≤1μm;
[0098] Optionally, 5nm≤d1≤100nm.
[0099] By controlling the microporous layer within the aforementioned thickness range, it is beneficial to effectively extract charge carriers while also stably providing the required gas pressure.
[0100] In some embodiments, the thickness of the dense layer is denoted as d2, where 5nm≤d2≤1μm;
[0101] Optionally, 5nm≤d2≤100nm.
[0102] By controlling the dense layer within the aforementioned thickness range, it is beneficial to provide a better pressure-holding effect for the microporous layer while also efficiently transporting charge carriers, which is conducive to achieving better electrode collection efficiency for charge carriers.
[0103] In some embodiments, the first electrode is a transparent electrode and the first charge transport layer is a hole transport layer; or, the first electrode is a transparent electrode and the first charge transport layer is an electron transport layer.
[0104] Perovskite solar cells can be either n-p-type or n-type. N-p-type perovskite solar cells offer better stability and are more likely to achieve longer lifespans. N-p-type perovskite solar cells, on the other hand, are better suited for achieving higher photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0105] In a second aspect of this application, a method for preparing a perovskite solar cell is provided, which can be used to prepare the perovskite solar cell described in the first aspect of this application.
[0106] In some embodiments, the method for fabricating the perovskite solar cell includes the following steps: sequentially depositing a first charge transport layer, a light-absorbing layer, a second charge transport layer, and a second electrode on one side of the first electrode;
[0107] The microporous layer is prepared by one or two of the following methods:
[0108] Method 1: Coating a colloidal liquid containing a first charge transport material onto a preset surface and annealing it to form a precursor layer; coating a solution containing a gas generation source and a solvent onto the precursor layer and heating it to form the micropores in the precursor layer and convert at least one of the gas generation source and the solvent into the sealed gas, with at least a portion of the micropores filled with the sealed gas;
[0109] Method 2: Provide a multilayer film including the light-absorbing layer, the light-absorbing layer being located on one side surface of the multilayer film, the perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer including organic components; coat the light-absorbing layer with a colloidal liquid including a second charge-transfer material, anneal it to form the microporous layer having the micropores, and convert a portion of the organic components in the perovskite material into the sealing gas, at least a portion of the micropores being filled with the sealing gas.
[0110] The microporous layer can be prepared by one or both of methods one and two. The encapsulated gas in the microporous layer can be provided by at least one of the gas source and solvent introduced into the precursor layer, or by the decomposition products of the perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer.
[0111] In some embodiments, the heating temperature in the heating step of Method 1 is denoted as T1, where T1 is 80℃~160℃;
[0112] Optionally, T1 is 100℃~150℃;
[0113] Optionally, T1 is lower than the decomposition temperature of the perovskite material.
[0114] When using Method 1 to provide the storage gas, a suitable heat treatment temperature T1 can be selected based on the physical properties of the gas source and the solvent. For example, when using the decomposition products of the gas source to provide the storage gas, the heat treatment temperature T1 should be higher than the decomposition temperature of the gas source. Furthermore, controlling T1 below the decomposition temperature of the perovskite material is beneficial for ensuring better material and structural stability of the light-absorbing layer during the microporous layer preparation process.
[0115] In some embodiments, in the heating step of the second method, the heating temperature is denoted as T2, and T2 is higher than the decomposition temperature of the perovskite material;
[0116] Optionally, T2 is 100℃~200℃;
[0117] Alternatively, T2 can be 150℃~160℃.
[0118] When using method two to provide the sealing gas, a suitable heat treatment temperature T2 can be selected based on the decomposition temperature of the perovskite material. The heat treatment temperature T2 should be higher than the decomposition temperature of the perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer. Furthermore, by controlling T2 within the aforementioned range, it is advantageous to minimize the loss of perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer while providing the required sealing gas.
[0119] In some embodiments, the methods for preparing perovskite solar cells satisfy one or more of the following characteristics:
[0120] In at least one of the methods one and two, the pore size of the micropores in the microporous layer is controlled by controlling at least one of the parameters of the concentration of the charge transport material in the colloidal liquid, the annealing temperature, and the annealing time.
[0121] In the first method, the gas pressure ratio R of the microporous layer relative to the light-absorbing layer is controlled by controlling at least one parameter of the composition and amount of the solution including the gas source and the solvent. P ;
[0122] In at least one of the methods one and two, the gas pressure ratio R of the microporous layer relative to the light-absorbing layer is controlled by controlling at least one parameter of the heating temperature and heating duration in the heating step. P .
[0123] The pore size of the micropores in the microporous layer can be controlled in the aforementioned manner, thereby better controlling the filling amount of the sealed gas. The gas pressure ratio R between the microporous layer and the light-absorbing layer can also be controlled in the aforementioned manner. P .
[0124] In a third aspect of this application, a perovskite battery is provided, comprising a perovskite battery prepared by the method for preparing a perovskite battery as described in the second aspect of this application.
[0125] By incorporating the aforementioned perovskite solar cell into a perovskite solar cell, the degradation of the perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer can be suppressed by using a gas encapsulated in the microporous layer. This suppression can be achieved by incorporating the aforementioned perovskite-related gas (non-limiting examples of perovskite-related gases include at least one of monovalent cations containing organic nitrogen and an iodine anion) into the encapsulated gas, or by setting a positive pressure in the microporous layer that is higher than that in the light-absorbing layer. This improves the stability of the perovskite material and enhances device stability, while also facilitating the achievement of higher energy conversion efficiency.
[0126] In a fourth aspect of this application, a power generation device is provided, comprising at least one of the perovskite battery described in the first aspect of this application, a perovskite battery prepared by the method described in the second aspect of this application, and a perovskite battery described in the third aspect of this application.
[0127] In a fifth aspect of this application, an electrical device is provided, comprising at least one of the perovskite battery described in the first aspect of this application, a perovskite battery prepared by the method described in the second aspect of this application, and a perovskite battery described in the third aspect of this application.
[0128] By incorporating at least one of the aforementioned perovskite solar cells into a power generation or power consumption device, device stability can be improved, and higher energy conversion efficiency can be achieved.

Detailed Implementation
[0139] The following describes in detail, with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the perovskite solar cell of this application, its preparation method, power generation device, and power consumption device. However, some unnecessary detailed descriptions may be omitted. For example, detailed descriptions of well-known matters and repetitive descriptions of practically identical structures may be omitted. This is to avoid unnecessarily lengthy descriptions and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided for the purpose of enabling those skilled in the art to fully understand this application and are not intended to limit the subject matter of the claims.
[0140] The "range" disclosed in this application can be defined in the form of a lower limit and an upper limit. A given range is defined by selecting a lower limit and an upper limit, which define the boundaries of a particular range. Ranges defined in this way can include or exclude endpoints. Any endpoint can be included or excluded independently and can be combined arbitrarily; that is, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a range. For example, if ranges of 60-120 and 80-110 are listed for a specific parameter, it is expected that ranges of 60-110 and 80-120 are also included. Furthermore, if minimum range values 1 and 2 are listed, and maximum range values 3, 4, and 5 are also listed, then the following ranges are all expected: 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 2-3, 2-4, and 2-5. In this application, unless otherwise stated, the numerical range "ab" represents a shortened representation of any combination of real numbers between a and b, where a and b are real numbers. For example, the numerical range "0-5" indicates that all real numbers between "0" and "5" have been listed in this article; "0-5" is simply a shortened representation of these numerical combinations. Furthermore, when describing a parameter as an integer ≥ 2, it is equivalent to listing integers such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 for that parameter. For instance, when describing a parameter as an integer selected from "2-10", it is equivalent to listing the integers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.
[0141] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "about" means within a reasonable range above and below the stated number, and the range of fluctuation may vary depending on the type and value of the stated number. For example, a range of ±10%, ±5%, ±2%, ±1%, etc., may be allowed. For example, taking "about 20°C" and its approximation as ±1°C, approximate values such as 19°C, 19.5°C, etc., within the approximation range indicated by "about 20°C" should also be included in the range indicated by "about 20°C".

The detailed execution order of each step should be determined by its function and possible internal logic. Unless otherwise specified, all steps of this application may be performed sequentially or randomly, but are preferably performed sequentially. For example, if method M includes steps (a) and (b), it means that the method may include steps (a) and (b) performed sequentially, or it may include steps (b) and (a) performed sequentially. For example, method M may also include step (c), meaning that step (c) can be added to method M in any order. For example, method M may include steps (a), (b), and (c), or it may include steps (a), (c), and (b), or it may include steps (c), (a), and (b), etc.

[0148] In this application, "optionally," "optionally," and "optional" mean that something is optional, that is, it is selected from either "with" or "without."

For example, "M and / or N" represents the group consisting of M, N, and "a combination of M and N".

[0154] In this application, the terms "first aspect," "second aspect," "third aspect," "fourth aspect," and "fifth aspect," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or quantity, nor should they be construed as implicitly indicating the importance or quantity of the indicated technical features. Moreover, "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and "fifth" etc. serve only as a non-exhaustive enumeration and should be understood not to constitute a closed limitation on quantity.
[0155] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the phrase "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium.

[0157] In this application, if the unit for a data range is only followed by the right endpoint, it indicates that the units for the left and right endpoints are the same. For example, 3~5h or 3-5h both mean that the unit for the left endpoint "3" and the right endpoint "5" is h (hours), and both have the same meaning as 3h~5h. Furthermore, similar descriptions of other parameters such as temperature and size are interpreted in the same way.
[0158] The weight or mass of the relevant components mentioned in the embodiments or examples of this application can refer not only to the content of each component, but also to the proportional relationship of weight or mass between the components.

[0162] For perovskite solar cells with perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer, the perovskite material may undergo spontaneous degradation, or it may degrade or be accelerated by external factors such as light, heat, water, oxygen, and electricity. These degradation reactions can all produce gaseous degradation products. In perovskite solar cells, if there are gas escape channels between adjacent film layers or if these gaseous degradation products are absorbed, the degradation reaction will be accelerated, leading to the loss of perovskite material and decreased device stability, thus resulting in performance degradation of the perovskite solar cell, such as poor energy conversion efficiency. Furthermore, when the aforementioned gaseous degradation products diffuse to the electrodes, they may also cause electrode aging.
[0163] According to various embodiments and examples of this application, this application provides a perovskite solar cell, a method for its fabrication, a power generation device, and a power consumption device thereof. This perovskite solar cell exhibits improved device stability and high energy conversion efficiency.
[0164] In some embodiments, a perovskite solar cell is provided, comprising a first electrode, a first charge transport layer, a light-absorbing layer, a second charge transport layer, and a second electrode arranged sequentially; the light-absorbing layer comprises a perovskite material; at least one of the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer comprises a microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer; the microporous layer is provided with micropores and a sealing gas located at the micropores.
[0165] In some embodiments, a perovskite solar cell includes a first electrode, a first charge transport layer, a light-absorbing layer, a second charge transport layer, and a second electrode arranged sequentially. The light-absorbing layer comprises a perovskite material. At least one of the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer includes a microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer. The microporous layer has micropores and a sealing gas located at the micropores. The sealing gas includes perovskite-related gases, which include at least one of a first gas and a second gas. The first gas refers to a gas that can be generated by the degradation of the perovskite material, and the second gas refers to a gas that can participate in the synthesis reaction of the perovskite material. This perovskite solar cell has improved device stability and high energy conversion efficiency.
[0166] Furthermore, at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is a transparent electrode.
[0167] In some implementations, one of the first charge transport layer and the second charge transport layer is an electron transport layer and the other is a hole transport layer.
[0168] In some embodiments, the perovskite solar cell includes a first electrode, a first charge transport layer, a light-absorbing layer, a second charge transport layer, and a second electrode arranged sequentially. The light-absorbing layer includes a perovskite material, which includes at least one of monovalent organic cations and iodine anions. At least one of the electron transport layer and hole transport layer includes a microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer. The microporous layer has micropores and a sealing gas located at the micropores. The sealing gas includes at least one of nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor. Further, the nitrogen-containing gas includes gases that can be formed from the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material when it degrades. The perovskite solar cell satisfies at least one of the following characteristics: (tb1) the perovskite material includes organic nitrogen, and the sealing gas includes a nitrogen-containing gas; (tb2) the perovskite material includes iodine, and the sealing gas includes iodine vapor. This perovskite solar cell has improved device stability and higher energy conversion efficiency. Furthermore, one of the first charge transport layer and the second charge transport layer is an electron transport layer and the other is a hole transport layer; even further, at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is a transparent electrode.
[0169] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "perovskite solar cell" refers to a solar cell that includes a perovskite layer. The perovskite layer refers to a light-absorbing layer comprising perovskite material.
[0170] Unless otherwise stated in this application, the "perovskite solar cell" includes a photoelectric conversion structure, which includes a light-absorbing layer and a charge transport layer. Further, the charge transport layer includes a first charge transport layer and a second charge transport layer.
[0171] When a perovskite solar cell operates, upon exposure to light, electrons within the light-absorbing layer gain energy and break free from the layer's binding force, forming negatively charged electron carriers and positively charged hole carriers, thus creating electron-hole pairs. These free electrons and holes then travel in opposite directions through corresponding transport layers, causing them to flow and forming an external current, thus converting light energy into electrical energy. Furthermore, after absorbing photons, the perovskite layer is stimulated to generate electron-hole pairs. These pairs further dissociate to form free carriers with opposite charges. Free electrons travel through the electron transport layer to the positive electrode, while free holes travel through the hole transport layer to the negative electrode. Both types of free carriers are collected by their respective electrodes, further generating a photocurrent within the perovskite solar cell's circuitry.
[0172] The electron transport layer can extract and transport electron carriers and block free holes from passing through.
[0173] The hole transport layer can extract and transport hole carriers and block free electrons from passing through.
[0174] It is understandable that perovskite solar cells also include two electrodes. One of these electrodes serves as the positive electrode, collecting electron carriers transported via the electron transport layer, while the other serves as the negative electrode, collecting hole carriers transported via the hole transport layer.
[0175] In a first aspect of this application, a perovskite solar cell is provided.
[0176] In some embodiments, a perovskite solar cell is provided, comprising a first electrode, a first charge transport layer, a light-absorbing layer, a second charge transport layer, and a second electrode arranged sequentially; one of the first charge transport layer and the second charge transport layer is an electron transport layer, and the other is a hole transport layer; wherein the light-absorbing layer comprises a perovskite material;
[0177] At least one of the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer includes a microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer; the microporous layer has micropores and a sealed gas located at the micropores;
[0178] The sealed gases include perovskite-related gases, which include at least one of a first gas and a second gas. The first gas refers to the gas that can be generated when the perovskite material degrades, and the second gas refers to the gas that can participate in the synthesis reaction of the perovskite material.
[0179] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "perovskite solar cell" refers to a solar cell that includes a light-absorbing layer, and the light-absorbing layer includes perovskite material. In this application, the light-absorbing layer including perovskite material may also be referred to as a "perovskite layer".
[0180] Some embodiments of the first aspect of this application provide a perovskite solar cell that further includes two charge transport layers located on either side of the light-absorbing layer, one of which is an electron transport layer and the other is a hole transport layer; two electrodes are further included on either side of the two charge transport layers. Typically, at least one of the electrodes is a transparent electrode. Either transparent electrode can be used for light incident.
[0181] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "perovskite material" refers to a material comprising perovskite-type compounds. Generally, perovskite materials comprise a monovalent cation A and a monovalent anion X.
[0182] In this application, unless otherwise specified, a "microporous layer" is a charge transport layer with micropores, where the micropores can be used to store gas; a "dense layer" is a charge transport layer with a higher degree of density than the microporous layer. When a dense layer is provided in the charge transport layer, it is located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer. The dense layer or electrode on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer can be used to suppress or block the escape of the stored gas in the microporous layer from the perovskite solar cell. The gas stored in the micropores of the microporous layer is called "stored gas". From the perspective of the composition of the stored gas, perovskite-related gases can be used to suppress the degradation of perovskite materials in the light-absorbing layer. When the perovskite-related gas includes gaseous degradation products of the perovskite material, the degradation reaction can be suppressed. When the perovskite-related gas can participate in the synthesis of perovskite materials, structural repair of the perovskite material can also be achieved.
[0183] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "perovskite-related gas" refers to the gaseous substances involved in the degradation and synthesis reaction equations of perovskite materials. These can be reactants in the synthesis of perovskite materials or gaseous degradation products of perovskite materials. In this application, perovskite-related gas may include at least one of a first gas and a second gas, wherein the first gas refers to a gas generated during the degradation of perovskite materials, and the second gas refers to a gas capable of participating in the synthesis reaction of perovskite materials. The first gas and the second gas may be the same or different; when the first gas and the second gas are the same, the gas is both a gas generated during the degradation of perovskite materials and capable of participating in the synthesis reaction of perovskite materials. It can be understood that perovskite materials refer to the perovskite materials contained in the light-absorbing layer of a perovskite solar cell.
[0184] In this application, a high-resolution infrared gas detector can be used to detect and analyze the gas composition in a microporous layer: the detector's infrared light source emits infrared light within a specific wavelength range (corresponding to a reference light intensity I0), and the optical path system ensures that the infrared light emitted by the light source can pass smoothly through the gas sample to be tested, enabling the infrared detector to receive the infrared light (corresponding to the received light intensity I) after passing through the gas sample and filter, and convert it into an electrical signal. Furthermore, the signal processing circuit analyzes the intensity of the electrical signal received by the detector, and by comparing the infrared absorption spectrum and the received light intensity of the absorption peak with the reference light intensity, the gas composition and partial pressure in the microporous layer and the light-absorbing layer can be determined.
[0185] Unless otherwise specified in this application, conventional methods in the art can be used to detect and analyze the composition of the perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer of the perovskite solar cell. Non-limiting examples include inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
[0186] For perovskite solar cells where the light-absorbing layer includes perovskite material, a multilayer structure including a microporous layer and a dense layer is provided on at least one side of the electron transport layer and hole transport layer on both sides of the light-absorbing layer. The microporous layer is located between the dense layer and the light-absorbing layer, and a gas can be placed in the microporous layer for storage. The dense layer can provide better carrier transport capability for the corresponding functional layer (which can be at least one of the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer).
[0187] Furthermore, utilizing the stability-enhancing effect of encapsulation gases on perovskite materials can improve device stability and energy conversion efficiency. Specifically, encapsulation gases can enhance the stability of perovskite materials by inhibiting degradation and / or promoting structural repair. Perovskite-related gases can be incorporated into the encapsulation gas. A first gas can be used to increase the concentration of degradation products, thereby inhibiting the degradation reaction. Alternatively, a second gas, capable of participating in perovskite synthesis, can be used to achieve structural repair of the perovskite material. Through one or both of these mechanisms, the stability of perovskite materials can be improved, thus enhancing device stability and facilitating higher energy conversion efficiency.
[0188] In addition, the dense layer can protect the corresponding side electrode. For the degradation gas that may be generated by the light-absorbing layer, it forms a barrier between the electrode and the light-absorbing layer, which can reduce or prevent the degradation gas that may be generated by the light-absorbing layer from diffusing to the electrode, thereby helping to avoid or slow down electrode aging.
[0189] In some embodiments, the perovskite-related gas includes at least one of nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor, wherein the nitrogen-containing gas includes gases that can be formed from organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation.
[0190] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "organic nitrogen" has the well-known meaning in the field of chemistry, referring to nitrogen element present in organic groups, organic ions, or organic substances. Without limitation, organic nitrogen can be combined with carbon atoms; for example, nitrogen element present in organic structures such as formamidinium ions and methylamine ions falls within the scope of "organic nitrogen" in this application.
[0191] In some embodiments, the nitrogen-containing gas includes gases that can be formed from the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation.

Through one or both of the aforementioned mechanisms, the stability of the perovskite material can be improved, thereby improving device stability and facilitating higher energy conversion efficiency.
[0232] In some embodiments, a perovskite solar cell is provided, comprising a first electrode, a first charge transport layer, a light-absorbing layer, a second charge transport layer, and a second electrode arranged sequentially; one of the first charge transport layer and the second charge transport layer is an electron transport layer, and the other is a hole transport layer.

[0236] Perovskite solar cells satisfy at least one of the following characteristics:
[0237] (tb1) Perovskite materials include organic nitrogen, and the storage gas includes nitrogen-containing gases;
[0238] (tb2) Perovskite materials include iodine, and the sealed gas includes iodine vapor.
[0239] For perovskite solar cells where the light-absorbing layer includes perovskite material, when the perovskite material includes at least one of monovalent cations containing organic nitrogen and iodine anions, a multilayer structure including a microporous layer and a dense layer can be formed on at least one side of the electron transport layer and hole transport layer on both sides of the light-absorbing layer. The microporous layer is located between the dense layer and the light-absorbing layer. A containment gas can be placed in the microporous layer, and the dense layer can provide better carrier transport capability for the corresponding functional layer (which can be at least one of the electron transport layer and hole transport layer). Furthermore, at least one of nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor can be placed in the containment gas (wherein, the nitrogen-containing gas includes gases that can be formed from the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation). At least one of the nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor can be used to increase the concentration of degradation products of the perovskite material, thereby inhibiting the degradation reaction. Alternatively, at least one of the nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor can be used to participate in perovskite synthesis, thereby achieving structural repair of the perovskite material. Through one or both of the aforementioned mechanisms, the stability of the perovskite material can be improved, thus improving device stability and facilitating higher energy conversion efficiency.
[0240] In some embodiments, the perovskite material comprises a monovalent cation, which includes a monovalent cation containing organic nitrogen. Non-limitingly, the molar percentage of the monovalent cation containing organic nitrogen can be 10 mol% to 100 mol%; optionally, the molar percentage of the monovalent cation containing organic nitrogen can be 80 mol% to 100 mol%. Non-limitingly, in the perovskite material, the molar percentage of the monovalent cation containing organic nitrogen can be any of the following molar percentages or a range selected from any two of the following molar percentages: 10 mol%, 15 mol%, 20 mol%, 25 mol%, 30 mol%, 35 mol%, 40 mol%, 45 mol%, 50 mol%, 60 mol%, 70 mol%, 75 mol%, 80 mol%, 90 mol%, 100 mol%, etc.
[0241] When the monovalent cations in the perovskite material include monovalent cations containing organic nitrogen, a gas that can be formed by the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation can be set in the storage gas. This increases the concentration of degradation products of the perovskite material and inhibits the degradation reaction. It also allows the storage gas to participate in the perovskite synthesis, thereby achieving structural repair of the perovskite material. Thus, the stability of the perovskite material can be improved through one or two of the aforementioned mechanisms, which in turn can improve device stability and is also conducive to achieving higher energy conversion efficiency.
[0242] When the monovalent cations in the perovskite material include the aforementioned content of organic nitrogen-containing monovalent cations, the stability of the perovskite material and the stability of the device can be significantly improved by introducing the aforementioned types of encapsulation gases, which can effectively improve the energy conversion efficiency.
[0243] Based on any suitable embodiment of this application, in some embodiments, the perovskite material includes a monovalent cation, which includes one or more of formamidinium ions and methylamine ions; the nitrogen-containing gas includes one or more of ammonia, methylamine, and formamidinium.

[0245] When the monovalent cations in perovskite materials include monovalent cations such as methylamine ions and formamidin ions (both methylamine ions and formamidin ions are monovalent organic cations containing organic nitrogen), if the perovskite material undergoes a degradation reaction, nitrogen-containing gases such as ammonia, methylamine, and formamidin may be generated. Therefore, by setting the aforementioned nitrogen-containing gases in the sealing gas, the degradation reaction can be inhibited, and it may even be possible to reverse the degradation reaction and synthesize perovskite materials. This can improve the stability of perovskite materials and device stability, as well as increase energy conversion efficiency.

[0247] Based on any suitable embodiment of this application, in some embodiments, in at least one microporous layer, 20% ≤ R A ≤100%. Non-limitingly, in at least one microporous layer, R A It can also be the following percentages or ranges selected from any two of the following percentages: 20%, 30%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, etc. In some embodiments, in at least one microporous layer, 40% ≤ RA ≤100%. In some embodiments, in at least one microporous layer, 45% ≤R A ≤100%.
[0248] By R A Controlling the degradation of perovskite materials within the aforementioned range helps to better suppress the degradation of perovskite materials and improve device stability and energy conversion efficiency.
[0249] Based on any suitable embodiment of this application, in some embodiments, the percentage of the sum of the partial pressures of the gases and iodine vapors formed by the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation, relative to the total gas pressure in the microporous layer, is denoted as R. N+I In at least one microporous layer, R N+I >0.
[0250] Based on any suitable implementation of this application, in some embodiments, in at least one microporous layer, 0 <R N+I ≤100%.
[0251] Based on any suitable embodiment of this application, in some embodiments, in at least one microporous layer, 20% ≤ R N+I ≤100%. In some embodiments, in at least one microporous layer, 40% ≤R N+I ≤100%. In some embodiments, in at least one microporous layer, 45% ≤R N+I ≤100%.
[0252] Non-limiting, in at least one microporous layer, R N+I It can also be the following percentages or intervals composed of any two of the following percentages: 20%, 30%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, etc.
[0253] In this application, R in the first microporous layer (if any) may also be included. N+I Let it be R1 N+I R in the second microporous layer (if any) N+I Let it be R2 N+I .
[0254] In this application, the percentage of iodine vapor partial pressure in the microporous layer can be detected and analyzed using the aforementioned high-resolution infrared gas detector (R0). I The percentage of nitrogen-containing gas partial pressure in the microporous layer (R) N ).
[0255] When perovskite materials containing organic nitrogen undergo degradation, the percentage of the sum of the partial pressures of the gases formed by the organic nitrogen and iodine vapor in the microporous layer relative to the total gas pressure in the microporous layer (R0).N+I ) can be greater than 0. When 0 <R N+I When the content is ≤100%, at least one of the gases formed by the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation and iodine vapor can be used to inhibit the degradation reaction of the perovskite material, and may even reverse the degradation reaction to increase the content of the perovskite material.
[0256] By R N+I Controlled at 20% ≤ R N+I Within the range of ≤100%, it is beneficial to better suppress the degradation of perovskite materials and better improve device stability and energy conversion efficiency.
[0257] In this application, the pressure ratio of the first microporous layer (if any) relative to the light-absorbing layer may also be denoted as R1. P Let R2 be the pressure ratio of the second microporous layer (if present) relative to the light-absorbing layer. P .
[0258] Based on any suitable embodiment of this application, in some embodiments, the pressure ratio of the gas pressure value of the microporous layer to the gas pressure value of the light-absorbing layer is denoted as R. P Satisfying R P ≥1.
[0259] In some implementations, a dense layer or electrode on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer can be used to suppress or block the escape of the encapsulated gas in the microporous layer from the perovskite solar cell, thereby maintaining the pressure of the microporous layer.
[0260] In some embodiments, the first electrode, first charge transport layer, light-absorbing layer, second charge transport layer, and second electrode in a perovskite solar cell are encapsulated within an encapsulation film. Consequently, the pressure ratio R between the gas pressure of the microporous layer and the gas pressure of the light-absorbing layer is... P It can be preserved relatively well.
[0261] From the perspective of the gas pressure of the sealed gas, when the gas pressure of the microporous layer is higher than that of the light-absorbing layer (R... P When the value is >1), the degradation of perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer can be better suppressed.
[0262] The dense layer can help control the filling of the sealed gas into the microporous layer, providing pressure retention and helping to maintain the gas pressure value of the microporous layer. When R P When the pressure is greater than 1, a positive pressure higher than that of the light-absorbing layer can be set in the microporous layer using the sealing gas. This is the pressure ratio (R0) between the gas pressure of the microporous layer and the gas pressure of the light-absorbing layer. P A value greater than 1 indicates a better inhibition of perovskite material degradation, leading to improved perovskite material stability and device stability, which is more conducive to achieving higher energy conversion efficiency. When the encapsulated gas includes perovskite-related gases and R... PWhen the value is greater than 1, the degradation of perovskite materials can be inhibited, device stability can be improved, and energy conversion efficiency can be enhanced by utilizing the dual mechanisms of perovskite-related gases and positive pressure in the microporous layer.
[0263] When the sealed gas includes at least one of nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor and R P When the value is greater than 1, the degradation of perovskite materials can be inhibited, device stability can be improved, and energy conversion efficiency can be enhanced by utilizing the dual mechanism of at least one of nitrogen-containing gas and iodine vapor and the positive pressure of the microporous layer.
[0264] When 0 <R N+I ≤100% and R P When the value is greater than 1, at least one of the gases formed by the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation, and iodine vapor, can be used to inhibit the degradation reaction of the perovskite material, and may even reverse the degradation reaction to increase the perovskite content. Furthermore, the positive pressure difference of the sealed gas (Ro) can also be utilized. P >1) Better suppress the degradation reaction of perovskite materials.
[0265] In this application, the pressure ratio between the gas pressure of the microporous layer and the gas pressure of the light-absorbing layer can be denoted as R. P This can also be referred to as the gas pressure ratio of the microporous layer relative to the light-absorbing layer. In this application, a high-resolution infrared gas detector can be used to detect and analyze the gas composition and R in the microporous layer. P The detector's infrared light source emits infrared light within a specific wavelength range (corresponding to a reference light intensity I0). The optical path system ensures that the infrared light emitted by the light source can smoothly pass through the gas sample to be tested, allowing the infrared detector to receive the infrared light (corresponding to the received light intensity I) after passing through the gas sample and filter, and convert it into an electrical signal. Further, the signal processing circuit analyzes the intensity of the electrical signal received by the detector. By comparing the infrared absorption spectrum and the received light intensity of the absorption peak with the reference light intensity, the gas composition and concentration ratio in the microporous layer and the light-absorbing layer can be determined, and then R can be calculated. P .
[0266] The dense layer in a perovskite solar cell can act as a barrier layer against the diffusion of encapsulated gas, thus maintaining pressure on the microporous layer. In some embodiments, this dense layer can block the passage of encapsulated gas. In this application, unless otherwise specified, the phrase "can block" in "the dense layer can block the passage of encapsulated gas" can be determined through a pressure-holding characteristic test: after placing the perovskite solar cell in a normal temperature and pressure environment for 200 hours, the gas pressure ratio R... P The change value ΔR P When the density is ≤0.01, it is considered that "the dense layer can block the passage of the sealed gas"; otherwise, such as R P If the change value is greater than 0.01, it is considered that "the dense layer cannot block the passage of the sealed gas".
[0267] In some embodiments, the dense layer has the following characteristics: after the perovskite solar cell is placed in a normal temperature and pressure environment for 200 hours, the gas pressure ratio R P The change value satisfies ΔR P ≤0.01.
[0268] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "normal temperature" refers to 20℃~30℃, such as 25℃, and "normal pressure" refers to atmospheric pressure without pressurization or depressurization operations. For example, it can be 1 standard atmosphere or its approximation, such as ±0.002MPa.
[0269] Based on any suitable implementation of this application, in some implementations, in at least one microporous layer, R P =1.
[0270] When R P When =1, as mentioned above, from the perspective of the composition of the sealed gas, the perovskite-related gas can be used to inhibit the degradation of the perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer. When the perovskite-related gas includes the gaseous degradation products of the perovskite material, the degradation reaction can be inhibited. When the perovskite-related gas can participate in the synthesis of perovskite material, the structural repair of the perovskite material can also be achieved.
[0271] Based on any suitable implementation of this application, in some implementations, in at least one microporous layer, R P >1.
[0272] When R P When the pressure is greater than 1, the gas pressure of the microporous layer is greater than that of the light-absorbing layer, which can better inhibit the degradation of perovskite materials, thereby improving the stability of perovskite materials and device stability, and making it more conducive to achieving higher energy conversion efficiency.
[0273] As R P >1 An example of a combination with any suitable implementation in this application, when R P >1 and 0 <R N+I When the content is ≤100%, the storage gas contains at least one of the gases that can be formed by the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation and iodine vapor. At this time, the degradation of the perovskite material can be inhibited, the device stability can be improved, and the energy conversion efficiency can be improved by utilizing the dual mechanism of at least one of the gases that can be formed by the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material during degradation and iodine vapor, as well as the positive pressure of the microporous layer.
[0274] As R P >1 An example of a combination with any suitable implementation in this application, when R PWhen >1 and the monovalent cation includes organic nitrogen, the monovalent cation includes monovalent cations containing organic nitrogen. This can improve the material stability of the light-absorbing layer by inhibiting the degradation reaction of perovskite materials and possibly promoting the repair of perovskite structure, thereby improving device stability and energy conversion efficiency. It can also utilize the positive pressure difference between the encapsulation gas and the light-absorbing layer to better inhibit the degradation of perovskite materials, thereby improving device stability and energy conversion efficiency.
[0275] In some embodiments, in at least one microporous layer, 1 ≤ R P ≤1.1; optionally, 1 <R P ≤1.06, and further optionally, 1.01≤R P ≤1.06. Without limitation, R P It can also be any of the following values, greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to any of the following values, greater than 1 and less than or equal to any of the following values, or an interval selected from any two of the following values: 1, 1.00, 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, 1.04, 1.05, 1.06, 1.07, 1.08, 1.09, 1.10, 1.1, etc. Non-restrictively, R P It can also be any of the following ranges: 1≤R P ≤1.08, 1≤R P ≤1.06、1 <R P ≤1.08、1 <R P ≤1.06, 1.01≤R P ≤1.06, 1≤R P ≤1.05、1 <R P ≤1.05, 1.01≤R P ≤1.05, etc.
[0276] By R P By controlling the pressure within the aforementioned range, the degradation of perovskite materials can be better suppressed by utilizing the positive pressure of the microporous layer being higher than that of the light-absorbing layer. This also helps to create lower compressive stress within the device, which is more conducive to maintaining the stability of the device structure and performance.
[0277] In some embodiments, the perovskite material includes monovalent anions, including iodine anions, and the encapsulation gas includes iodine vapor.
[0278] Non-limiting, the molar percentage of iodide anions in the monovalent anions can be 0 mol% to 30 mol%; it can be selected as 1 mol% to 5 mol%. Non-limiting, in perovskite materials, the molar percentage of iodide anions in the monovalent anions can also be any of the following percentages or a range selected from any two of the following percentages: 0 mol%, 1 mol%, 2 mol%, 5 mol%, 6 mol%, 8 mol%, 10 mol%, 12 mol%, 15 mol%, 20 mol%, 25 mol%, 30 mol%, etc.
[0279] When the monovalent anions in the perovskite material include iodine anions, iodine vapor may be generated if the perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer undergoes a degradation reaction. In this case, by introducing iodine vapor into the sealing gas, the material stability of the light-absorbing layer can be improved by inhibiting the degradation reaction of the perovskite material and promoting the repair of the perovskite structure, thereby improving the device stability and energy conversion efficiency.
[0280] By controlling the molar percentage of iodine anions in the monovalent anions of perovskite materials within the aforementioned range, it is more beneficial to improve device stability and energy conversion efficiency.
[0281] In some embodiments, in addition to perovskite-related gases, the sequestration gas may also include non-reactive gases. Alternatively, the sequestration gas may not include non-reactive gases. "Non-reactive gases" refers to gases that do not participate in the degradation and synthesis of perovskite materials.
[0282] In this application, unless otherwise specified, "non-reactive gas" refers to a gas that does not participate in the degradation and synthesis of perovskite materials, that is, it only provides gas partial pressure in the microporous layer.
[0283] In some implementations, the non-reactive gas includes one or more of nitrogen, oxygen, rare gases, and carbon dioxide.
[0284] The encapsulated gas in the microporous layer can include non-reactive gases that do not participate in the degradation and synthesis of perovskite materials, that is, gases other than perovskite-related gases are allowed. In this case, the degradation reaction of perovskite materials can be suppressed, the stability of perovskite materials can be improved, and the stability and energy conversion efficiency of devices can be improved by setting the aforementioned perovskite-related gases (non-limiting examples of perovskite-related gases include at least one of monovalent cations containing organic nitrogen and iodide anions) in the encapsulated gas.
[0285] In some embodiments, the pore size in the microporous layer is 0.1 nm to 100 nm; optionally, the pore size in the microporous layer is 5 nm to 100 nm. Non-limitingly, the pore size in the microporous layer can also be any of the following values or a range selected from any two of the following values: 0.1 nm, 0.5 nm, 1 nm, 2 nm, 4 nm, 5 nm, 10 nm, 15 nm, 20 nm, 25 nm, 30 nm, 35 nm, 40 nm, 50 nm, 55 nm, 60 nm, 65 nm, 70 nm, 75 nm, 80 nm, 85 nm, 90 nm, 95 nm, 100 nm, etc. Non-limitingly, the pore size in the microporous layer can also be any of the following ranges: 1 nm to 100 nm, etc.
[0286] Unless otherwise stated in this application, the micropore size and the thickness of the microporous layer and the dense layer can be detected by the following method: observation with a high-resolution scanning electron microscope.
[0287] By adjusting the pore size of the microporous layer, the content of the encapsulated gas can be adjusted.

[0293] By adjusting the type of charge transport material in the microporous layer, the carrier transport rate and / or carrier concentration of the microporous layer can be controlled. By incorporating the aforementioned charge transport material into the microporous layer, it is possible to enable the microporous layer to not only inhibit the degradation of perovskite materials but also possess good carrier transport capabilities and high material stability.
[0294] In some embodiments, at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is a transparent electrode for light incident.
[0295] In some implementations, the perovskite solar cell satisfies at least one of the following characteristics:
[0296] The first charge transport layer includes a microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer (at this time, the microporous layer in the first charge transport layer can be referred to as the first microporous layer, and the dense layer in the first charge transport layer can be referred to as the first dense layer).
[0297] The second charge transport layer includes a microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer (at this time, the microporous layer in the second charge transport layer can be referred to as the second microporous layer, and the dense layer in the second charge transport layer can be referred to as the second dense layer).
[0298] Non-limiting, a microporous layer and a dense layer further away from the light-absorbing layer may be provided in one or both of the first charge transport layer and the second charge transport layer.

[0300] The electron transport layer includes a microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer. (At this time, the microporous layer in the electron transport layer can be referred to as the electron transport microporous layer, and the dense layer in the electron transport layer can be referred to as the electron transport dense layer.)
[0301] The hole transport layer includes a microporous layer and a dense layer located on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer. (At this time, the microporous layer in the hole transport layer can be referred to as the hole transport microporous layer, and the dense layer in the hole transport layer can be referred to as the hole transport dense layer.)
[0302] Non-limitingly, a microporous layer and a dense layer further away from the light-absorbing layer can be formed in the electron transport layer.

When only a microporous layer is provided in one of the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer, and no dense layer is provided on the side of the microporous layer away from the light-absorbing layer, other structural layers further away from the light-absorbing layer can be used to seal the gas in the microporous layer and maintain the gas pressure value of the microporous layer. For example, an electrode (which can be a transparent electrode) on the corresponding side can be used to prevent the gas sealed in the microporous layer from escaping from the device.

[0308] When a microporous layer is provided between the transparent electrode and the light-absorbing layer, and a dense layer is provided on the other side, a dense layer may or may not be provided between the transparent electrode and the microporous layer. When a dense layer is not provided between the transparent electrode and the microporous layer, it is beneficial to increase the transmittance of incident light, reduce process steps, reduce the number of film interfaces, improve the energy conversion efficiency of the device, and reduce the difficulty of the process.
[0309] In some implementations, the strength of the sealing effect on the gas trapped in the microporous layer can be adjusted by controlling the density of the dense layer.

[0311] By controlling the microporous layer within the aforementioned thickness range, it is beneficial to effectively extract charge carriers while also stably providing the required gas pressure.
[0312] In some embodiments, the thickness of the dense layer is denoted as d2, and is 5nm ≤ d2 ≤ 1μm; optionally, 5nm ≤ d2 ≤ 100nm. Non-limitingly, d2 can also be selected from any of the following thicknesses or from a range consisting of any two of the following thicknesses: 5nm, 10nm, 15nm, 20nm, 30nm, 40nm, 50nm, 60nm, 80nm, 100nm, 150nm, 200nm, 250nm, 300nm, 400nm, 500nm, 600nm, 800nm, 900nm, 1μm, etc. Non-limitingly, d2 can also be selected from any of the following ranges: 10nm ≤ d2 ≤ 1μm, 10nm ≤ d2 ≤ 100nm, etc.
[0313] By controlling the dense layer within the aforementioned thickness range, it is beneficial to provide a better pressure-holding effect for the microporous layer while also efficiently transporting charge carriers, which is conducive to achieving better electrode collection efficiency for charge carriers.
[0314] In some embodiments, the first electrode is a transparent electrode and the first charge transport layer is a hole transport layer, or the first electrode is a transparent electrode and the first charge transport layer is an electron transport layer.
[0315] Perovskite solar cells can be either n-p-type or n-type. N-p-type perovskite solar cells offer better stability and are more likely to achieve longer lifespans. N-p-type perovskite solar cells, on the other hand, are better suited for achieving higher photoelectric conversion efficiency.

Without limitation, the flexible substrate may include one or more materials selected from polyethylene terephthalate, polyimide, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, etc. Optionally, the first electrode is a transparent electrode for light incident.

[0374] In a second aspect of this application, a method for preparing a perovskite solar cell is provided, which can be used to prepare the perovskite solar cell described in the first aspect of this application.
[0375] In some embodiments, the fabrication method of a perovskite solar cell includes the following steps: sequentially depositing a first charge transport layer, a light-absorbing layer, a second charge transport layer, and a second electrode on one side of a first electrode;
[0376] The microporous layer can be prepared by one or both of the following methods:
[0377] Method 1: Coating a colloidal liquid including a first charge transport material onto a predetermined surface and annealing it to form a precursor layer; coating a solution including a gas generation source and a solvent onto the precursor layer and heating it to form micropores in the precursor layer and convert at least one of the gas generation source and solvent into a storage gas, with at least a portion of the micropores filled with the storage gas.
[0378] Method 2: Provide a multilayer film including a light-absorbing layer, the light-absorbing layer being located on one side surface of the multilayer film, the perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer including organic components; coat the light-absorbing layer with a colloidal liquid including a second charge transport material, anneal it to form a microporous layer with micropores, and convert a portion of the organic components in the perovskite material into a sealing gas, at least a portion of the micropores being filled with the sealing gas.
[0379] The microporous layer can be prepared by one or both of methods one and two. The encapsulated gas in the microporous layer can be provided by at least one of the gas source and solvent introduced into the precursor layer, or by the decomposition products of the perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer.
[0380] In some embodiments, the heating temperature in the heating step of Method 1 is denoted as T1, where T1 is 80°C to 160°C. Non-limitingly, the heating time can be 5 min to 20 min, or more specifically, 5 min to 15 min.
[0381] In some embodiments, T1 is 100°C to 150°C. Without limitation, T1 may also be any of the following temperatures or a range selected from any two of the following temperatures: 80°C, 90°C, 100°C, 110°C, 120°C, 130°C, 140°C, 150°C, etc.
[0382] In some implementations, T1 is below the decomposition temperature of the perovskite material.
[0383] In some embodiments, the heating step of Method 1, involving annealing at 100°C for 30 minutes followed by annealing at 150°C for 5 minutes, can yield a relatively low R0. P For example, R P Approximately equal to 1.
[0384] When using Method 1 to provide the storage gas, a suitable heat treatment temperature T1 can be selected based on the physical properties of the gas source and the solvent. For example, when using the decomposition products of the gas source to provide the storage gas, the heat treatment temperature T1 should be higher than the decomposition temperature of the gas source. Furthermore, controlling T1 below the decomposition temperature of the perovskite material is beneficial for ensuring better material and structural stability of the light-absorbing layer during the microporous layer preparation process.
[0385] In some embodiments, the heating temperature in the heating step of Method 2 is denoted as T2, which is higher than the decomposition temperature of the perovskite material.
[0386] In some embodiments, T2 is 100°C to 200°C. Non-limitingly, the heating time can be 20 min to 40 min, more specifically 25 min to 35 min.
[0387] In some implementations, T2 is 150°C to 160°C.
[0388] In a non-limiting sense, T2 may also be any of the following temperatures or a range selected from any two of the following temperatures: 150℃, 155℃, 160℃, 170℃, 180℃, 190℃, 200℃, etc.
[0389] When using method two to provide the sealing gas, a suitable heat treatment temperature T2 can be selected based on the decomposition temperature of the perovskite material. The heat treatment temperature T2 should be higher than the decomposition temperature of the perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer. Furthermore, by controlling T2 within the aforementioned range, it is advantageous to minimize the loss of perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer while providing the required sealing gas.
[0390] The fabrication methods of perovskite solar cells described in some embodiments satisfy one or more of the following characteristics:
[0391] In at least one of Method 1 and Method 2, the pore size of the micropores in the microporous layer is controlled by controlling at least one of the parameters of the concentration of the charge transport material in the colloidal liquid, the annealing temperature, and the annealing time.
[0392] In Method 1, the gas pressure ratio R of the microporous layer relative to the light-absorbing layer is controlled by controlling at least one parameter of the composition and amount of the solution, including the gas source and the solvent. P ;
[0393] In at least one of Method 1 and Method 2, the gas pressure ratio R of the microporous layer relative to the light-absorbing layer is controlled by controlling at least one parameter of the heating temperature and heating duration in the heating step. P .
[0394] The pore size of the micropores in the microporous layer can be controlled in the aforementioned manner, thereby better controlling the filling amount of the sealed gas. The gas pressure ratio R between the microporous layer and the light-absorbing layer can also be controlled in the aforementioned manner. P .
[0395] Non-limitingly, the perovskite layer and other structural layers in a perovskite solar cell can be prepared using one or more of the following methods, including but not limited to: chemical bath deposition, electrochemical deposition, chemical vapor deposition, thermal evaporation, atomic layer deposition, magnetron sputtering, spin coating of precursor solution, slot coating of precursor solution, blade coating of precursor solution, and mechanical pressing. Appropriate methods can be selected to stack the structural layers with adjacent structural layers based on the material properties of each layer. In some embodiments, the structural layers in a perovskite solar cell, excluding the perovskite layer, can be prepared using one or more of the following methods, including but not limited to: thermal evaporation, precursor solution coating, etc., wherein the precursor solution coating method can be a spin coating method.
[0396] In a third aspect of this application, a perovskite solar cell is provided, comprising a perovskite solar cell prepared by the method for preparing a perovskite solar cell described in the second aspect of this application.
[0397] By incorporating the aforementioned perovskite solar cell into a perovskite solar cell, the degradation of the perovskite material in the light-absorbing layer can be suppressed by using a gas encapsulated in the microporous layer. This suppression can be achieved by incorporating the aforementioned perovskite-related gas (non-limiting examples of perovskite-related gases include at least one of monovalent cations containing organic nitrogen and an iodine anion) into the encapsulated gas, or by setting a positive pressure in the microporous layer that is higher than that in the light-absorbing layer. This improves the stability of the perovskite material and enhances device stability, while also facilitating the achievement of higher energy conversion efficiency.

[0470] (1) Gas composition test in microporous layer and gas pressure ratio test of microporous layer relative to light-absorbing layer.
[0471] Instrument: High-resolution infrared gas detector, Honeywell ACM 150FT-IR.
[0472] Method: The detector's infrared light source emits infrared light within a specific wavelength range (corresponding to a reference light intensity I0). The optical path system ensures that the infrared light emitted by the light source can smoothly pass through the gas sample to be tested. The infrared detector receives the infrared light after passing through the gas sample and filter (corresponding to the received light intensity I) and converts it into an electrical signal. Further, the signal processing circuit analyzes the intensity of the electrical signal received by the detector. By comparing the infrared absorption spectrum and the received light intensity of the absorption peak with the reference light intensity, the gas composition and concentration ratio in the microporous layer and the light-absorbing layer can be determined. Then, the partial pressure parameters and R are calculated. P .
[0473] R is denoted as the percentage of the sum of the partial pressures of the perovskite-related gases in the microporous layer relative to the total gas pressure in the microporous layer. A .
[0474] R is denoted as the percentage of the sum of the partial pressures of gases and iodine vapors formed by the organic nitrogen in perovskite materials during degradation, relative to the total gas pressure in the microporous layer.

[0475] Let R1 be the pressure ratio of the first microporous layer (if any) relative to the light-absorbing layer. P Let R2 be the pressure ratio of the second microporous layer (if present) relative to the light-absorbing layer. P .
[0476] (2) Micropore diameter test of microporous layer and thickness test of microporous layer and dense layer: observation by high resolution scanning electron microscope Zeiss SEM3200.
[0477] (3) Battery performance test
[0478] In an atmospheric environment, the solar simulated light source uses the AM1.5G standard light source. A four-channel digital source meter (Keithley 2440) is used to measure the current-voltage characteristic curve of the battery under the illumination of the light source, and the open circuit voltage (Voc), short circuit current density (Jsc), and fill factor (FF) of the battery are obtained. The energy conversion efficiency (Eff) of the battery is then calculated.
[0479] Energy conversion efficiency is calculated as follows: Eff = Pout / Pin = Voc × Jsc × [(Vmpp × Jmpp) / (Voc × Jsc)] / Pin = Voc × Jsc × FF / Pin
[0480] Wherein, Pout, Pin, Voc, Jsc, Vmpp, Jmpp, and FF represent the battery's operating output power, incident light power, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, maximum power point voltage, maximum power point current, and fill factor, respectively. The incident light power is 100 mW / cm². 2 .
[0481] The test analysis results can be found in Table 3.
[0482] (4) Stability test.
[0483] Storage conditions: 60±5℃, dark, atmospheric environment (no positive or negative pressure applied). After storing the perovskite solar cell to be tested for 200 hours, the cell performance was tested using the aforementioned method. The relative percentage of the performance value compared to the initial prepared value is recorded as the retention rate of the corresponding performance. For the energy conversion efficiency (Eff), the percentage of Eff after 200 hours relative to the initial Eff is the Eff retention rate, which can be found in Table 3 under "200-hour stability".
[0484] The aforementioned method was also used to test the gas pressure ratio R1 of the microporous layer relative to the light-absorbing layer. P and R2 P Calculate the percentage of the pressure ratio relative to the initial value, and record it as the retention rate of the corresponding pressure ratio. Refer to Table 2 for "R1 after 200 hours". P "Retention rate" and "R2 after 200 hours" P Retention rate.
[0485] 2. Test Result Analysis
[0486] In Examples 1-16, the pore size of the micropores in the microporous layer is in the range of 1 nm to 100 nm (more specifically, in the range of 5 nm to 100 nm). In Examples 1-16, the devices exhibit high energy conversion efficiency and maintain a high retention rate over a relatively long period. The perovskite solar cells prepared in each example all demonstrate good energy conversion efficiency and device stability.
[0487] In Examples 1-7 and 9-16, the first microporous layer contains perovskite-related gases, mainly ammonia and iodine vapor; R N+I and R A All were within the range of 20% to 100%, further, all were within the range of 40% to 100%, and most embodiments reached over 45%. The second microporous layer in Examples 1-8 and 10-16 contained perovskite-related gases, mainly ammonia and iodine vapor. N+I and R A All are in the range of 20% to 100%, and further, all are in the range of 40% to 100%, with most embodiments reaching more than 45%. Among them, ammonia corresponds to the gas that can be formed when the organic nitrogen contained in the perovskite material undergoes degradation. In Examples 1-16, as non-limiting examples, the organic nitrogen in the perovskite material is present in formamidinium ions and / or methylamine ions.
[0488] Comparative Example 1 lacked a microporous layer and a containment gas, resulting in a significant decrease in device stability.
[0489] In Comparative Example 2, no sealing gas was placed in the microporous layer, resulting in a significant decrease in device stability.
[0490] In Comparative Example 3, no containment gas was placed in the microporous layer, resulting in a significant decrease in both energy conversion efficiency and device stability.
