[0219] In some embodiments, a perovskite cell is provided, comprising a perovskite layer, the perovskite layer comprising a perovskite material and a multi-charge species; the multi-charge species comprises a plurality of charged groups attached to a linear backbone, the plurality of charged groups comprising at least one positively charged group and at least one negatively charged group; at least one backbone atom between at least one pair of adjacent charged groups in the plurality of charged groups is attached to a hydrophobic group.
[0220] In some embodiments, a perovskite cell is provided, comprising a perovskite layer, the perovskite layer comprising a perovskite material and a multi-charge species;
[0221] wherein the multi-charge species comprises a linear backbone, the linear backbone comprising a plurality of backbone atoms; the multi-charge species further comprises a plurality of charged groups attached to the linear backbone, the plurality of charged groups being attached to different backbone atoms of the linear backbone, respectively, and any pair of adjacent charged groups in the plurality of charged groups is separated by a backbone atom along the linear backbone;
[0222] the plurality of charged groups comprises at least one positively charged group and at least one negatively charged group;
[0223] at least one backbone atom between at least one pair of adjacent charged groups in the plurality of charged groups is attached to a hydrophobic group.
[0224] In the present application, unless otherwise specified, "perovskite cell" refers to a solar cell comprising a perovskite layer. The perovskite layer refers to a light-absorbing layer comprising a perovskite material.
[0225] In the present application, unless otherwise specified, "perovskite cell" comprises a photoelectric conversion structure, the photoelectric conversion structure comprising a light-absorbing layer and a charge transport layer, and in further embodiments, the charge transport layer comprises a first charge transport layer and a second charge transport layer.
[0226] In the present application, unless otherwise specified, "charge transport layer" refers to a transport layer capable of transporting electrons or holes.

[0229] For example, in a perovskite cell including an electron transport layer and a hole transport layer, when the perovskite cell is in operation, after the light absorption layer is irradiated with light, the internal electrons obtain energy and break away from the light absorption layer to form negatively charged electron carriers, and at the same time, positively charged hole carriers are formed, thereby obtaining electron-hole pairs. The free electrons and the free holes pass through the corresponding transport layers to move in opposite directions, so that the electrons and the holes flow to form an external current, thereby realizing the conversion of light energy into electrical energy. Further, after the perovskite layer absorbs photons, electron-hole pairs are generated by excitation, 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.
[0230] The electron transport layer is capable of extracting and transporting electron carriers, and can block the passage of free holes.
[0231] The hole transport layer is capable of extracting and transporting hole carriers, and can block the passage of free electrons.

[0267] By adjusting the type and / or distribution of hydrophobic groups to the aforementioned conditions, the recombination of positive and negative charges within the molecule can be avoided as much as possible. This allows for better adjustment of the contact angle of the perovskite, which is beneficial for achieving better passivation effects and inducing layered growth of the perovskite, thus contributing to better photoelectric conversion performance and device stability.

In still other embodiments, a hydrophobic group is attached to two main chain atoms between at least one set of two adjacent charged groups.
[0272] In some embodiments, the at least one set of two adjacent charged groups is a combination of a positively charged group and a negatively charged group.
[0273] By setting the adjacent charged groups as charged groups of different kinds of charges, the repulsion of the same kind of charges can be reduced on the basis of being spaced by the hydrophobic groups, so that the different kinds of charged groups in the multi-charge substance are dispersed in a more appropriate manner, which is conducive to promoting the perovskite layer growth and reducing the grain boundary spacing of the perovskite layer.

[0297] By adjusting the content of the group with conjugated π bond in the polyelectrolyte material within the aforementioned range, it is more advantageous to enhance the delocalized charge transport ability. By adjusting the group with conjugated π bond in the polyelectrolyte material to be the aforementioned kind, it is also advantageous to better enhance the delocalized charge transport ability. Both of the aforementioned two adjustment methods can be introduced simultaneously.
[0298] In some embodiments, the polyelectrolyte material satisfies one or more of the following characteristics (any numerical parameter in the following characteristics can also be selected from any suitable numerical value or range in the context):
[0299] The number of spacer atoms of any one positive electrostatic group relative to the linear backbone is independently 1-4 (optionally 1, 2, 3, or 4, further optionally 2, 3, or 4);
[0300] The number of spacer atoms of any one negative electrostatic group relative to the linear backbone is independently 1-4 (optionally 1, 2, 3, or 4), optionally, the number of spacer atoms of any one negative electrostatic group relative to the linear backbone is independently 1 or 2;
[0301] In any one adjacent group of positive electrostatic group and negative electrostatic group, the number of spacer atoms of the positive electrostatic group relative to the linear backbone is not equal to the number of spacer atoms of the negative electrostatic group relative to the linear backbone. Further, the number of spacer atoms of the positive electrostatic group relative to the linear backbone is greater than the number of spacer atoms of the negative electrostatic group relative to the linear backbone, or the number of spacer atoms of the negative electrostatic group relative to the linear backbone is greater than the number of spacer atoms of the positive electrostatic group relative to the linear backbone.
[0302] In some embodiments, the number of spacer atoms of any one positive electrostatic group relative to the linear backbone can be independently 1-4 (optionally 1, 2, 3, or 4, further optionally 2, 3, or 4).
[0303] In some embodiments, the number of spacer atoms of any one negative electrostatic group relative to the linear backbone is independently 1-4 (optionally 1, 2, 3, or 4). In some of the embodiments, the number of spacer atoms of any one negative electrostatic group relative to the linear backbone is independently 1 or 2.
[0304] In the present application, the "number of spacer atoms of a charged group relative to a linear backbone" refers to the shortest atomic length between the charged group and its corresponding backbone atom, for example, the number of spacer atoms between the side amino group and the corresponding backbone carbon atom in lysine is 4, the number of spacer atoms between the side amino group and the corresponding backbone carbon atom in ornithine is 3, the number of spacer atoms between the side carboxyl group and the corresponding backbone carbon atom in aspartic acid is 1, the number of spacer atoms between the side carboxyl group and the corresponding backbone carbon atom in glutamic acid is 2, the number of spacer atoms between the phenyl group and the corresponding backbone carbon atom in phenylalanine is 1, and the number of spacer atoms between the indole group and the corresponding backbone carbon atom in tryptophan is 1.
[0305] By adjusting the number of spacer atoms of any charged group (which can be a positively charged group or a negatively charged group) relative to a linear backbone, the side group length of the positively charged group from the linear backbone can be adjusted. By controlling the number of spacer atoms within the aforementioned range, both the steric hindrance of the linear backbone and the more suitable mobility and activity space of the charged group can be facilitated.
[0306] In some embodiments, the number of spacer atoms of a positively charged group relative to a linear backbone is not equal to the number of spacer atoms of a negatively charged group relative to the linear backbone in any adjacent group of positively charged groups and negatively charged groups.

In other of these embodiments, the number of spacer atoms of a negatively charged group relative to a linear backbone is greater than the number of spacer atoms of a positively charged group relative to the linear backbone.
[0307] When the number of spacer atoms of a positively charged group relative to a linear backbone is controlled to be not equal to the number of spacer atoms of a negatively charged group relative to the linear backbone, on the one hand, it is beneficial to reduce or avoid the complexation of positive and negative charges within the molecule, and on the other hand, it is also beneficial to better exert the passivation effect of the charged group farther from the linear backbone. Among them, when the number of spacer atoms of a positively charged group relative to a linear backbone is greater, it is more beneficial to passivate a negatively charged defect; and when the number of spacer atoms of a negatively charged group relative to a linear backbone is greater, it is more beneficial to passivate a positively charged defect.

[0552] S110, calculate the weight of each raw material according to the weight of the target polypeptide (all raw materials are protected amino acids, and the corresponding amino acid raw material is at the end).
[0553] S120, put the dichloromethane resin (amidated polypeptide is RINK resin) into the polypeptide solid phase synthesis tube, and add appropriate DCM (dichloromethane) for 2 hours.
[0554] S130, wash the resin with DMF (dimethylformamide), then dry, repeat four times, and dry the resin.
[0555] S140, weigh the amino acid raw material of the first amino acid unit at the C-terminus + DCM + DIEA and add it to the reactor, then put the reactor in a 30°C shaker for 2 hours. Wherein, DIEA is N,N-diisopropylethylamine. Taking FKWDFKWD as an example, the first amino acid unit at the C-terminus is D, and the amino acid raw material used is Fmoc-Asp(OtBU)-OH.
[0556] S150, seal the resin with methanol solution (methanol: DIEA: DCM = 1:1:2) for half an hour, then wash with DMF four times, and dry.
[0557] S160, add 20% piperidine solution to the reactor, react for 20 min to remove the Fmoc protecting group. After deprotection, wash with DMF four times, and then dry.
[0558] S170, take a small amount of resin for ninhydrin detection. If the resin has color, it means that the deprotection is successful. If there is no color, repeat step S160.
[0559] S210, weigh the C-terminal second amino acid (molar mass is 3 times that of the first amino acid) + HOBT + DIC and add to the reactor for 1 hour. HOBT is 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, and DIC is N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide.
[0560] S220, take a small amount of resin for detection. If the resin has color, it means that the condensation is not complete, and the reaction time needs to be extended. If the resin is colorless, it means that the reaction is complete; after the reaction is complete, wash the resin with DMF four times, and then dry.
[0561] S230, add a certain amount of 20% piperidine (piperidine / DMF = 1:4) to the reactor, react for 20 min to remove the Fmoc protecting group on the resin. After deprotection, wash with DMF four times, and then dry to detect whether the protection is removed.
[0562] S240, take a small amount of resin for ninhydrin detection. If the resin has color, it means that the deprotection is successful. If there is no color, repeat step 6.
[0563] S300, sequentially connect the remaining amino acid units according to steps S210, S220, S230, and S240.
[0564] S410, use cleavage reagent (different sequences select corresponding reagent) to remove all the protecting groups of the polypeptide and the resin, and send for purification.
[0565] S420, separate the target peptide segment from impurities by high performance liquid chromatography instrument (HPLC, instrument model Shimadzu LC-20AT), and send for lyophilization.

[0625] Test Instrument: Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), instrument model Gemini SEM 300.
[0626] Test Parameters: Accelerating voltage (EHT) 3.00 kV, probe InLens, working distance (WD) about 5.0 mm, magnification (Mag) 30 kX, probe current (IProbe) 294 pA.
[0627] 2. Cell Performance Test
[0628] (1) Initial Performance Test
[0629] The cell performance was tested by using Keithley 2400 SMU, AM 1.5G solar irradiation under the light source of 100 mW / cm 2 .
[0630] Under atmospheric environment, the solar light simulation light source uses AM1.5G standard light source, and the four-channel digital source meter (Keithley 2440) is used to measure the volt-ampere characteristic curve of the cell under the irradiation of the light source, so as to obtain the open circuit voltage (Voc), short circuit current density (Jsc), fill factor (FF, Fill Factor) of the cell, and thus calculate the energy conversion efficiency (Eff, Efficiency) of the cell.
[0631] The energy conversion efficiency is calculated as follows: Eff = Pout / Pin = Voc x Jsc x [(Vmpp x Jmpp) / (Voc x Jsc)] / Pin = Voc x Jsc x FF / Pin
[0632] Pout= PinFFVmppJmpp(1) wherein Pout, Pin, Voc, Jsc, Vmpp, Jmpp and FF are the cell working output power, incident light power, open circuit voltage, short circuit current, cell maximum power point voltage, maximum power point current and fill factor, respectively. The incident light power is 100 mW / cm2 2 .
[0633] The test results can be seen in Table 3, the section of “cell performance, initial performance”.
[0634] (2) Stability test
[0635] After storage for 10 days under the condition of temperature 25℃, humidity 10% RH and normal light, the Jsc, Voc, FF and Eff were tested by the method described in “cell performance test”.
[0636] Let the initial Eff be Eff1, and the Eff measured after storage for 10 days be Eff2, then the Eff retention rate = (Eff2-Eff1) / Eff1x100%.
[0637] The test results of some embodiments are summarized in Table 4, the section of “cell performance, stability test (storage for 10 days)” and “Eff retention rate”.
[0638] (II) Analysis of test results
[0639] The perovskite cells of each of embodiments 1-14 all have excellent photoelectric conversion performance and device stability. Compared with comparative examples 1-7, the energy conversion efficiency Eff and the Eff retention rate of each of embodiments 1-14 after storage for 10 days are all better. In addition, the short circuit current density, open circuit voltage, impact factor and other performances of the perovskite cells of each of embodiments 1-14 are all good, and even better than comparative examples 11-14. Please refer to Table 3 and Table 4.
[0640] Each of embodiments 1-14 has a relatively tight junction of the perovskite layer grain boundary while passivating the charge defects, and the size of the perovskite layer grain boundary is similar or lower than that in comparative example 1. As an example, please refer to FIG. 6 (embodiment 1, the concentration of the multi-charge substance in the perovskite precursor solution in step (3) of the preparation method is 0.2 mg / mL) and FIG. 7 (embodiment 2, the concentration of the multi-charge substance in the perovskite precursor solution in step (3) of the preparation method is 2 mg / mL).
[0641] Comparative example 1, the multi-charge substance is not added in the perovskite precursor solution, and the junction of the perovskite layer grain boundary is tight, please refer to FIG. 5, there is a little PbI2 precipitation at the grain boundary. Compared with comparative example 1, the perovskite cells of each of embodiments 1-14 also have good or better short circuit current density, open circuit voltage, fill factor, etc.

The photoelectric conversion performance and device stability of the perovskite cells prepared in Comparative Examples 2-5 are all poor, and the energy conversion efficiency Eff and the Eff retention rate after the device is stored for 10 days are obviously deteriorated.
[0643] In Comparative Example 6, the polyelectrolyte is replaced by a mixture of a dipeptide containing a positive group and a dipeptide containing a negative group; and in Comparative Example 7, the polyelectrolyte is replaced by a mixture of amino acids. The concentration of each amino acid unit in the perovskite precursor solution in Comparative Examples 6 and 7 is consistent with that in Example 3. The photoelectric conversion performance and device stability of the perovskite cells prepared in Comparative Examples 6-7 are obviously deteriorated, and the energy conversion efficiency Eff and the Eff retention rate after the device is stored for 10 days are obviously deteriorated.
