In recent years, they have been extensively studied. However, there is still a certain distance to the commercialization and large-scale application of perovskite cells. One of the key problems to be solved is how to improve the stability of perovskite cells. SUMMARY

At the same time, the ammonium salt can also form a complex with the excess lead iodide, that is, the crystallization rate of the lead iodide can be slowed down by coordinating the ammonium salt with Pb, so that the excess lead iodide is uniformly distributed in the grain boundary when crystallizing instead of accumulating into large particles, and thus the uniformity of the distribution of the excess lead iodide in the perovskite thin film can be further effectively improved, thereby facilitating the improvement of the stability of the perovskite battery.

[0056] In the present application, the term "phenyl" refers to a group with a benzene ring as a functional group.
[0057] In the preparation of perovskite cells, the perovskite layer usually needs to be passivated to reduce non-radiative recombination of the device and improve photoelectric conversion efficiency. One of the common means for passivating the perovskite layer is to add excess lead iodide (PbI2) to the precursor solution. The excess PbI2 can perform defect passivation at the grain boundaries and interfaces of the perovskite thin film during the formation of the perovskite thin film, reduce non-radiative recombination of the device, and thus improve photoelectric conversion efficiency. However, the excess PbI2 is prone to accumulate into particles during the crystallization process of the perovskite thin film, which reduces the crystallization quality of the perovskite thin film, affects the light absorption performance of the perovskite layer, and not only fails to achieve good passivation effect, but also reduces the stability of the perovskite cell. Currently, some technologies attempt to regulate the concentration of the perovskite precursor solution or the annealing time of the perovskite thin film to improve the uniformity of the distribution of the excess PbI2 to some extent, but the regulation space of this method is limited, and the excess PbI2 still has a serious accumulation phenomenon during the crystallization process of the thin film.
[0058] Based on this, the present application provides a perovskite cell. By coordinating the ammonium salt with the excess lead iodide, the ammonium salt can be used to improve the accumulation of the excess PbI2 and improve the uniformity of the distribution of the excess PbI2. In addition, the two together as a modifier of the perovskite thin film can also achieve good passivation effect, improve the crystallization quality of the perovskite thin film, and improve the stability of the perovskite cell.
[0059] In a first aspect, the present application provides a perovskite cell, which comprises a perovskite thin film, the perovskite thin film comprising a perovskite material and a modifier, the modifier comprising lead iodide and an ammonium salt, the ammonium salt comprising at least one of the compounds having the structural formula shown in the following formula (1):
[0060] R1R2R3R4N + Y - (1);
[0061] In formula (1), R1 comprises one of substituted or unsubstituted C4-C20 alkyl, R2-R4 each independently comprises one of hydrogen atom, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl; Y - comprises halide ion and / or halide-like ion, and N is nitrogen atom.
[0062] It can be understood that the "substituted C4-C20 alkyl" or "substituted C1-C20 alkyl" described in the present application means that at least one hydrogen atom in at least one of C4-C20 alkyl is substituted by a substituent; or at least one hydrogen atom in at least one of C1-C20 alkyl is substituted by a substituent.
[0063] The perovskite battery provided in the present application comprises a perovskite thin film, and the perovskite thin film comprises a modifier, and the modifier comprises lead iodide and an ammonium salt, and the ammonium salt comprises at least one of a compound having a structural formula shown in formula (1), and the carbon chain corresponding to R1 in the compound and the carbon chain possibly existing in R2-R4 can effectively reduce the surface tension of a precursor solution used for preparing the perovskite thin film, improve the uniformity of solute (which comprises a precursor material used for forming a perovskite material and excess lead iodide) distribution in the precursor solution, and thus improve the uniformity of the distribution of the excess lead iodide in the perovskite crystallization process. At the same time, the ammonium salt can also form a complex with the excess lead iodide, that is, the crystallization rate of the lead iodide can be slowed down by coordinating the ammonium salt with Pb, so that the excess lead iodide is uniformly distributed in the grain boundary when crystallizing instead of accumulating into large particles, and thus the uniformity of the distribution of the excess lead iodide in the perovskite thin film can be further effectively improved, thereby facilitating the improvement of the stability of the perovskite battery.
[0064] In this way, on the basis of the improvement of the uniformity of the distribution of the excess lead iodide, it is beneficial to the good passivation effect of the excess lead iodide on the grain boundary; at the same time, the anions and cations contained in the aforementioned compound can also play a certain passivation role (for example, the anions can passivate X ion site defects of the perovskite material, and the cations can passivate A ion site defects of the perovskite material). Therefore, the ammonium salt cooperates with the excess lead iodide to greatly reduce the defects of the perovskite phase, effectively reduce the defect density of the perovskite thin film, reduce the number of crystal nuclei, increase the grain size, improve the crystallization quality of the perovskite thin film, and simultaneously improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite battery comprising the perovskite thin film.
[0065] In some embodiments, the substituents each independently include one or more of a carboxyl group (-COOH), a hydroxyl group (-OH), a sulfonic acid group (-SO3H), a phenyl group, and a methoxy group (CH3O-).
[0066] The substituents included in R1-R4 in the ammonium salt can be based on the properties of each substituent, so that the perovskite battery can be adapted to different application scenarios or use environments. For example, the carboxyl group or the sulfonic acid group can make the perovskite thin film have certain alkali resistance, and thus facilitate the use of the perovskite battery in an alkali environment to a certain extent.
[0067] In some embodiments, R2-R4 each independently includes one of a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl group. In this way, the chain length and molecular weight of the ammonium salt can be further increased, the surface tension of the precursor solution used for preparing the perovskite thin film can be further reduced, and the uniformity of the distribution of the excess lead iodide dispersed in the precursor solution can be further improved.
[0068] In some embodiments, R1comprises one of substituted or unsubstituted C4-C16 alkyl, and R2-R4each independently comprises one of hydrogen atom, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C16 alkyl. In this way, the crystalline quality of the perovskite thin film is further improved, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite cell are further improved.
[0069] In some embodiments, the ammonium salt comprises one or more of tetrabutylammonium bromide, tetrabutylammonium cyanide, butylammonium bromide, dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium bromide, dodecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide, hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium iodide, hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, and hexadecyl tributyl ammonium bromide.
[0070] In some embodiments, the halogen ion comprises one or more of Cl - , Br - , I - , and F - . In the ammonium salt, the halogen ion can play a certain passivation effect on the A-site defects of the perovskite material, thereby helping to reduce the perovskite bulk phase defects and improve the crystalline quality of the perovskite thin film.
[0071] In some embodiments, the halogen-like ion comprises one or more of CN - , SCN - , OCN - , N3 - , CF4SO4 - , HCOO - , C6H5S - , CH3COO - , CF3COO - , BH4 - , CH3S - , ClO4 - , BF4 - , and BCl4 - . In the ammonium salt, the halogen-like ion can also play a certain passivation effect on the A-site defects of the perovskite material, thereby helping to reduce the perovskite bulk phase defects and improve the crystalline quality of the perovskite thin film.
[0072] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of lead iodide to perovskite material in the perovskite thin film is (5-15):100. For example, it can be 5:100, 6:100, 8:100, 10:100, 12:100, 13:100, 15:100, or any range consisting of the above values, such as (5-8):100, (6-15):100, (5-10):100.
[0073] In this way, the excess lead iodide can be distributed uniformly, on the one hand, which is conducive to the formation of complex of the excess lead iodide and the ammonium salt, slows down the crystallization rate by coordination of the ammonium salt and Pb, and makes the excess lead iodide uniformly distributed in the grain boundary during crystallization, thereby reducing the accumulation of lead iodide particles and effectively improving the uniformity of the distribution of the excess lead iodide, so as to improve the stability of the perovskite battery. On the other hand, the excess lead iodide also has a good passivation effect on the defects of the perovskite film, so that the size of the crystal grains contained in the film is increased and the crystallization quality of the film is improved.
[0074] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of the lead iodide to the perovskite material in the perovskite film is (5-10):100. For example, it can be 5:100, 6:100, 7:100, 8:100, 9:100, 10:100 or any range formed by any of the above values. In this way, on the one hand, the uniformity of the distribution of the excess lead iodide is further improved, so as to further improve the stability of the perovskite battery. On the other hand, the passivation effect of the excess lead iodide on the defects of the perovskite film is further improved, so that the crystallization quality of the film is further improved.
[0075] In some embodiments, the perovskite film contains perovskite crystal grains, the perovskite crystal grains contain perovskite material, and the average particle size of the perovskite crystal grains is 1-2 μm. For example, the average particle size of the perovskite crystal grains can be 1 μm, 1.1 μm, 1.2 μm, 1.3 μm, 1.4 μm, 1.5 μm, 1.6 μm, 1.7 μm, 1.8 μm, 1.9 μm, 2 μm or any range formed by any of the above values. In this way, the micron-level crystal grains are conducive to the reduction of the number of grain boundaries, which can reduce the defect density in the perovskite film, improve the crystallization quality of the film, reduce the non-radiative recombination of holes and electrons, and improve the performance of the perovskite battery.
[0076] For example, the average particle size of the perovskite crystal grains can be measured by the following method: SEM (scanning electron microscope) test is performed on the film surface of the perovskite film, any one crystal grain in the lens is selected, the length of the longest diagonal line of the crystal grain is measured and recorded as d1; in the same way, the lengths of the longest diagonal lines of ≥50 crystal grains (such as 100 crystal grains) are measured and the average value is calculated, which is taken as the average particle size of the perovskite crystal grains.
[0077] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of lead iodide to ammonium salt in the perovskite thin film is (10-150): 1. For example, the molar ratio of lead iodide to ammonium salt can be 150: 1, 120: 1, 100: 1, 90: 1, 80: 1, 70: 1, 60: 1, 50: 1, 40: 1, 30: 1, 20: 1, 10: 1, or within a range defined by any of the above values. In this way, better coordination between lead iodide and ammonium salt can be achieved, further slowing the crystallization rate and causing excess lead iodide to be more evenly distributed in the grain boundaries upon crystallization, thereby facilitating further improvement in the stability of the perovskite cell.
[0078] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of lead iodide to ammonium salt in the perovskite thin film is (30-80): 1. For example, the molar ratio of lead iodide to ammonium salt can be 80: 1, 70: 1, 65: 1, 55: 1, 45: 1, 35: 1, 30: 1, or within a range defined by any of the above values. In this way, better coordination between lead iodide and ammonium salt can be achieved, thereby facilitating further improvement in the stability of the perovskite cell.
[0079] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of lead iodide to ammonium salt in the perovskite thin film is (40-60): 1. In this way, better coordination between lead iodide and ammonium salt can be achieved, thereby facilitating further improvement in the stability of the perovskite cell.

[0087] As an example, the composition in the perovskite thin film can be tested by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). For example, the perovskite thin film can be dissolved in a polar organic solvent (e.g., propylene glycol), and then the composition (e.g., ammonium salt) contained in the thin film can be obtained by analyzing the resulting spectrum (analyzing the characteristic peaks in the spectrum). Meanwhile, by matching the EDS test, the content of each component in the perovskite thin film can be measured, so as to obtain the ratio between each component. For example, according to the content of the element corresponding to the A ion (i.e., A element), the content of the perovskite material can be calculated; according to the content of the nitrogen element, the content of the ammonium salt can be calculated; then, according to the content of the lead element and the content of the element corresponding to the A ion (i.e., A element), the content of the lead iodide can be calculated (the lead element can come from the lead iodide and the perovskite material, the content of the lead element is subtracted from the content of the lead in the perovskite material, and the remaining content of the lead corresponds to the content of the lead in the lead iodide, so the content of the lead iodide can be calculated).
[0088] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 1, the perovskite cell further includes a first electrode layer 20, a first charge transport layer 30, a second charge transport layer 50, and a second electrode layer 60 which are stacked, and the perovskite thin film 40 is arranged between the first charge transport layer 30 and the second charge transport layer 50.
[0089] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 2, the perovskite cell further includes a substrate layer 10, a first electrode layer 20, a first charge transport layer 30, a second charge transport layer 50, and a second electrode layer 60 which are stacked, and the perovskite thin film 40 is arranged between the first charge transport layer 30 and the second charge transport layer 50.
[0090] In this application, the perovskite thin film, which can also be referred to as a perovskite layer, can serve as a light-absorbing layer in the perovskite cell.
[0091] In some embodiments, the perovskite cell provided in this application can be any one of a trans-p-i-n cell and a formal n-i-p cell.
[0092] In some embodiments, one of the “first electrode” and the “second electrode” serves as the positive electrode and can collect the electron carriers transported via the electron transport layer, and the other serves as the negative electrode and can collect the hole carriers transported via the hole transport layer.
[0093] In some embodiments, at least one of the "first electrode" and the "second electrode" is a transparent electrode for light incidence. In some embodiments, the first electrode is a transparent electrode.
[0094] In some embodiments, one of the "first charge transport layer" and the "second charge transport layer" is a hole transport layer, and the other is an electron transport layer. The electron transport layer is capable of extracting and transporting electron carriers and can block free holes. The hole transport layer is capable of extracting and transporting hole carriers and can block free electrons.

[0096] For the reverse, the perovskite cell includes a transparent electrode for light incidence and a hole transport layer, a perovskite layer, an electron transport layer and a second electrode layer which are sequentially stacked on the transparent electrode.
[0097] When the perovskite cell works, the internal electrons of the light-absorbing layer obtain energy and escape from the constraint of the light-absorbing layer to form negatively charged electron carriers, and at the same time form positively charged hole carriers, thereby obtaining electron-hole pairs. Free electrons and free holes pass through the corresponding transport layers to move in opposite directions, so that electrons and holes flow to connect the load to form an external current, realizing the conversion of light energy to electric energy. Further, after the perovskite layer absorbs photons, electron-hole pairs are generated, and the electron-hole pairs are further dissociated to form free carriers with opposite charges. The free electrons pass through the electron transport layer to the positive electrode, and the free holes pass through the hole transport layer to the negative electrode. The two kinds of free carriers are collected by the corresponding electrodes, and further form a photocurrent in the circuit of the perovskite cell.

[0102] In some embodiments, the substrate layer can be a glass substrate or a flexible substrate. The flexible substrate can include one or more of polyethylene terephthalate, polyimide, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene naphthalate, and the like.

[0105] It can be understood that the structure of the perovskite cell involved in the present application can not be limited to the aforementioned listed structure layers. Other functional layers such as buffer layers can also be introduced according to the needs. In some embodiments, the perovskite cell can be provided with a buffer layer with a suitable energy level, which can play one or more of the following roles: reducing the energy level barrier, promoting energy level matching, improving carrier extraction efficiency, at the same time, also playing one or more of the following roles: passivating interface defect states, protecting the light absorption layer, inhibiting the oxidative decomposition of water molecules and oxygen to the cell, improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency, and improving the stability of the perovskite cell.

[0106] In a second aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing a perovskite cell, which can be used to prepare the perovskite cell of the first aspect of the present application, which can include the following steps for preparing a perovskite layer (or a perovskite thin film):
[0107] S1, according to the composition of the perovskite material, taking the precursor material corresponding to the composition of the perovskite material, mixing with a modifier and a solvent to prepare a precursor solution; wherein the modifier includes lead iodide and ammonium salt, the ammonium salt includes at least one of the compounds having the structural formula shown in formula (1):
[0108] R1R2R3R4N + Y - (1),
[0109] In formula (1), R1 includes one of substituted or unsubstituted C4-C20 alkyl, R2-R4 each independently includes one of hydrogen atom, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl; Y - including halide ions and / or halogen-like ions, N is a nitrogen atom;
[0110] S2, the precursor solution is formed and annealed to prepare the perovskite thin film.
[0111] In this application, the excess lead iodide refers to that the precursor solution contains lead iodide, and when the precursor solution is used to prepare the perovskite thin film, there will be a surplus of lead iodide after the formation of the perovskite material. The surplus of lead iodide corresponds to the lead iodide included in the modifier, that is, the surplus of lead iodide comes from the lead iodide in the modifier. Correspondingly, the perovskite thin film prepared from the precursor solution contains lead iodide, which also corresponds to the surplus of lead iodide.
[0112] The modifier contains lead iodide and ammonium salt, and the ammonium salt includes at least one of the compounds having the structural formula shown in formula (1). The carbon chain corresponding to R1 in the compound and the carbon chain that may exist in R2 to R4 can make the ammonium salt as a long-chain molecule to effectively reduce the surface tension of the precursor solution used to prepare the perovskite thin film, improve the uniformity of the distribution of the solute (which includes the precursor material for forming the perovskite material and the excess lead iodide) in the precursor solution, thereby improving the uniformity of the distribution of the excess lead iodide in the perovskite crystallization process. At the same time, the ammonium salt can also coordinate with the excess lead iodide, that is, the coordination of the ammonium salt with Pb can slow down the crystallization rate of lead iodide, so that the excess lead iodide is uniformly distributed in the grain boundary when crystallizing, rather than accumulating into large particles. This can further effectively improve the uniformity of the distribution of the excess lead iodide in the perovskite thin film, thereby improving the stability of the perovskite battery.
[0113] Thus, on the basis of the improvement of the uniformity of the excess lead iodide distribution, it is beneficial to its good passivation effect on the grain boundary; at the same time, the anions and cations contained in the aforementioned compound can also play a certain passivation role (such as the anions can passivate the X ion site defects of the perovskite material, and the cations can passivate the A ion site defects of the perovskite material). Therefore, the ammonium salt cooperates with the excess lead iodide to greatly reduce the defects of the perovskite phase, effectively reduce the defect density of the perovskite thin film, reduce the number of crystal nuclei, increase the grain size, improve the crystalline quality of the perovskite thin film, and simultaneously improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and stability of the perovskite battery containing the perovskite thin film.
[0114] In some embodiments, the molar amount of lead iodide in the modifier is 5% to 15% of the molar amount of the perovskite material that can be formed from the precursor material. In this way, the lead iodide can have a better passivation effect.
[0115] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of lead iodide to ammonium salt in the modifier is (10-150):1. For example, the molar ratio of lead iodide to ammonium salt can be 150:1, 120:1, 100:1, 90:1, 80:1, 70:1, 60:1, 50:1, 40:1, 30:1, 20:1, 10:1, or within a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0116] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of lead iodide to ammonium salt in the modifier is (30-80):1. For example, the molar ratio of lead iodide to ammonium salt can be 80:1, 75:1, 65:1, 55:1, 45:1, 35:1, 30:1, or within a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0117] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of lead iodide to ammonium salt in the modifier is (40-60):1. For example, the molar ratio of lead iodide to ammonium salt can be 60:1, 55:1, 50:1, 45:1, 40:1, or within a range consisting of any of the above values.
[0118] In this way, better cooperation can be formed between lead iodide and ammonium salt, further slowing down the crystallization rate, so that the excess lead iodide is more uniformly distributed in the grain boundary during crystallization, thereby further improving the stability of the perovskite battery.
[0119] In some embodiments, the solvent in step S1 includes one or more of N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylacetamide (DMAC), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI), and γ-butyrolactone (GBL).
