[0002] This application relates to the field of new energy technology, and in particular to a solar cell, electrical equipment, and power generation equipment. Background Technology

[0003] This section provides only background information relevant to this application and is not necessarily prior art.

[0004] Currently, solar cells are used in lunar rovers, satellite solar panels, various sensors, probes, wearable electronics, and automotive power supply, with market demand continuously expanding. Developing high-efficiency solar cells is essential to further improve device performance.

[0005] Therefore, this application is submitted. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this application is:

[0007] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, this application provides a solar cell, electrical equipment, power generation equipment and photovoltaic device, which aims to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of this application provides a solar cell, which includes a light-absorbing layer and a hole transport layer. The hole transport layer includes a first hole transport layer, which includes a first hole transport material. The first hole transport material has a structural formula including an electron-withdrawing subunit and a triphenylamine group. The two ends of the electron-withdrawing subunit are respectively directly or indirectly connected to a triphenylamine group. The electron-withdrawing subunit includes at least one of the following groups: a fused heterocyclic subunit composed of an aromatic ring and a heterocyclic ring, substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic rings directly linked by a single bond; a subunit formed by substituted or unsubstituted aromatic rings directly linked by a single bond; and a subunit formed by substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic rings directly linked by a single bond.

[0010] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, a first hole transport material comprising an electron-withdrawing subunit and a triphenylamine group is used to create a first hole transport layer with excellent hole extraction and transport capabilities, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell. Furthermore, the sp3 orbital hybridization of the nitrogen atom in the triphenylamine group generates lone pairs of electrons. These lone pairs of electrons more easily move to the phenyl group of triphenylamine or are transferred through the phenyl group to the electron-withdrawing subunit, thus playing a hole transport role. When the first hole transport material loses one electron, although the entire molecule is in a state lacking one electron, due to the resonance effect of the phenyl group, the vacancy will be filled by other electrons, thus ensuring the stability of the entire molecule. Simultaneously, by adjusting the group of the electron-withdrawing subunit, it is beneficial to flexibly control the energy level of the first hole transport material, achieving energy level matching between the hole transport layer and the light absorption layer, and improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell.

Through intermolecular electron push-pull interactions, the mobility of the first hole transport material is improved. Simultaneously, the aromatic subunit acts as a conjugated bridge, enhancing both the hole extraction and transport capabilities of the first hole transport material, and also allowing for the modulation of its energy levels. Using this first hole transport material in the first hole transport layer of a solar cell can improve the hole extraction and transport capabilities of the film layer, thereby increasing the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell.

[0044] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the nitrogen atom of the triphenylamine group undergoes sp3 orbital hybridization to generate lone pairs of electrons. These lone pairs of electrons can more easily move to the phenyl group of triphenylamine or transfer through the phenyl group to the electron-withdrawing subunit, thereby playing a role in hole transport. When the hole transport material loses one electron, although the entire molecule is in a state of missing an electron, due to the resonance effect of the phenyl group, the vacancy will be filled by other electrons, thus ensuring the stability of the entire molecule. At the same time, by adjusting the group of the electron-withdrawing subunit, it is beneficial to flexibly control the energy level of the hole transport material, thereby achieving energy level matching between the hole transport layer and the light absorption layer, and improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell.

[0045] In some embodiments, where the two ends of the electron-withdrawing subunit are indirectly connected to a triphenylamine group, the two ends of the electron-withdrawing subunit are connected to a triphenylamine group via an aromatic subunit.

[0046] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the two ends of the electron-withdrawing subunit are respectively connected to a triphenylamine group through an aromatic subunit, forming a D-Π-A-Π-D type structure.

[0074] The embodiments of the technical solution of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application and are therefore merely examples, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0080] In solar cells, existing hole transport materials such as NiO x Materials such as PEDOT:PSS typically suffer from inflexible energy level tuning and are prone to degradation of light-absorbing materials or corrosion of the substrate, which can negatively impact the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells. For example, using NiO... x As a hole transport material, due to NiO xRich in trivalent nickel, it has strong oxidizing properties, which can easily accelerate the degradation of light-absorbing materials. Alternatively, if PEDOT:PSS is used as a hole transport material, its acidity can easily corrode the substrate, thus reducing the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells.

[0081] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a solar cell 100. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the solar cell 100 includes a light-absorbing layer 13 and a hole transport layer 12. The hole transport layer 12 includes a first hole transport layer 121, which includes a first hole transport material. The first hole transport material has a structural formula including an electron-withdrawing subunit and a triphenylamine group. The two ends of the electron-withdrawing subunit are directly or indirectly connected to a triphenylamine group. The electron-withdrawing subunit includes at least one of the following groups: a fused heterocyclic subunit composed of an aromatic ring and a heterocyclic ring, either substituted or unsubstituted; a subunit formed by directly connecting substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic rings and heterocyclic rings via single bonds; a subunit formed by directly connecting substituted or unsubstituted aromatic rings and aromatic rings via single bonds; and a subunit formed by directly connecting substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic rings and aromatic rings via single bonds.

[0082] Among them, solar cell 100 refers to a device that converts light energy into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect.

[0083] The light-absorbing layer 13 is the core component of the solar cell 100. It is used to absorb the photon energy of sunlight, generate electron-hole pairs, and under the action of the built-in electric field, separate the electron-hole pairs into free electrons and holes. The holes and electrons are collected by two different electrodes, and the two electrodes are connected to form a circuit to generate photocurrent.

[0084] The hole transport layer 12 is a functional layer for extracting and transporting photogenerated holes generated by the light absorption layer 13. In some embodiments, the hole transport layer 12 can be directly disposed on one side surface of the light absorption layer 13. In some embodiments, a passivation functional layer can also be disposed between the hole transport layer 12 and the light absorption layer 13.

[0085] Hole transport materials are used to extract and transport photogenerated hole carriers. A hole transport material may consist only of a first hole transport material, or it may consist of a first hole transport material and at least one other hole transport material.

[0086] In some embodiments, the hole transport layer 12 may consist solely of a first hole transport layer 121, which may be formed solely of a first hole transport material, or a mixture of the first hole transport material and at least one other hole transport material. In some embodiments, the hole transport layer 12 may be formed by stacking the first hole transport layer 121 and at least one other single-functional hole transport layer. The hole transport material design schemes of each single-functional layer can be designed independently to flexibly design the hole transport layer 12 according to the product's functional requirements.

[0087] Electron-withdrawing subunits are chemical groups that can attract or absorb electrons. These groups typically have high electronegativity and can attract electrons from the surrounding environment, making the molecule more stable and more reactive. By adjusting the groups of electron-withdrawing subunits, the energy levels of the first hole transport material can be flexibly controlled, achieving energy level matching between the hole transport layer 12 and the light absorption layer 13, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100.

[0088] Aromatic rings are unsaturated carbocyclic compounds in which the ring system is composed of carbon atoms. Heteroaromatic rings are unsaturated cyclic compounds in which the ring system includes atoms of other elements besides carbon, such as one or more of oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen.

[0089] The nitrogen atom in the triphenylamine group undergoes sp3 orbital hybridization, generating a lone pair of electrons. These lone pairs more easily move to the phenyl group of triphenylamine or are transferred through the phenyl group to an electron-withdrawing subunit, thus acting as a hole transport mechanism. When the first hole transport material loses one electron, although the entire molecule is in a state of missing an electron, the vacancy is filled by other electrons due to the resonance effect of the phenyl group, thus ensuring the stability of the entire molecule.

[0090] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, by using a first hole transport material including electron-withdrawing subunits and triphenylamine groups, the formed first hole transport layer 121 has excellent hole extraction and transport capabilities, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100.

[0092] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the two ends of the electron-withdrawing subunit are respectively connected to a triphenylamine group through an aromatic subunit, forming a D-Π-A-Π-D type structure. Through intermolecular electron push-pull interactions, the mobility of the first hole transport material is improved. Simultaneously, the aromatic subunit acts as a conjugated bridge, which not only improves the hole transport and extraction capabilities of the first hole transport material but also allows for the modulation of the energy levels of the first hole transport material by adjusting the groups of the aromatic subunit. Using this first hole transport material in the first hole transport layer 121 can improve the hole extraction and transport capabilities of the film layer, thereby increasing the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100.

[0093] In some embodiments, the aromatic subunit includes at least one of the following groups: substituted or unsubstituted phenyl subunit, substituted or unsubstituted thiophene subunit, substituted or unsubstituted furan subunit, substituted or unsubstituted thiophene subunit, substituted or unsubstituted biphenyl subunit, and substituted or unsubstituted bithiophene subunit.

Thiophene group refers to the group formed by eliminating one hydrogen atom from a thienyl group. Furanene group refers to the group formed by eliminating one hydrogen atom from a furanyl group. denominated thienene group refers to the group formed by eliminating one hydrogen atom from a denominated thienyl group. Biphenylene group refers to the group formed by eliminating one hydrogen atom from a biphenyl group. Bithiophene group refers to the group formed by eliminating one hydrogen atom from a bithiophene group.

[0095] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the energy level of the first hole transport material and the hole extraction and transport capability are controlled by the aramid group within the above-mentioned range, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100.

[0141] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, by introducing the first hole transport material provided in the embodiment of this application into the solar cell 100 with the above-mentioned stacked structure, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100 is improved.

[0142] In some embodiments, this application provides a method for fabricating a solar cell 100, the method comprising:

[0143] Provide a prefabricated component;

[0144] A hole transport layer 12 is provided on one side of the preform. The hole transport layer 12 includes a first hole transport material. The first hole transport material has a structural formula including an electron-withdrawing subunit and a triphenylamine group. The two ends of the electron-withdrawing subunit are directly or indirectly connected to a triphenylamine group. The electron-withdrawing subunit includes at least one of the following groups: a fused heterocyclic subunit composed of an aromatic ring and a heterocyclic ring, a subunit formed by directly connecting a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic ring and a heterocyclic ring through a single bond, a subunit formed by directly connecting a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic ring and an aromatic ring through a single bond, and a subunit formed by directly connecting a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic ring and an aromatic ring through a single bond.

[0145] A light absorption layer 13 is disposed on the side of the hole transport layer 12 away from the first conductive layer 11.

[0146] In some embodiments, the preform is a preform including a first conductive layer 11.

[0147] In some embodiments, the method for fabricating the solar cell 100 further includes the step of depositing a second conductive layer 15 on the side of the light-absorbing layer 13 away from the preform.

[0148] In some embodiments, the method for fabricating the solar cell 100 further includes the step of sequentially depositing an electron transport layer 14 and a second conductive layer 15 on the side of the light-absorbing layer 13 away from the preform.

[0149] A second aspect of this application provides a hole transport material, the structural formula of which includes an electron-withdrawing subunit and a triphenylamine group. The two ends of the electron-withdrawing subunit are respectively directly or indirectly connected to a triphenylamine group. The electron-withdrawing subunit includes at least one of the following groups: a fused heterocyclic subunit composed of an aromatic ring and a heterocyclic ring, substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic rings directly linked by a single bond; a subunit formed by substituted or unsubstituted aromatic rings directly linked by a single bond; and a subunit formed by substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic rings directly linked by a single bond.

[0150] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the nitrogen atom of the triphenylamine group undergoes sp3 orbital hybridization to generate lone pairs of electrons. These lone pairs of electrons can more easily move to the phenyl group of triphenylamine or transfer to the electron-withdrawing subunit via the phenyl group, thereby playing a role in hole transport. When the hole transport material loses one electron, although the entire molecule is in a state of missing an electron, due to the resonance effect of the phenyl group, the vacancy will be filled by other electrons, thus ensuring the stability of the entire molecule. At the same time, by adjusting the group of the electron-withdrawing subunit, it is beneficial to flexibly control the energy level of the hole transport material, thereby achieving energy level matching between the hole transport layer 12 and the light absorption layer 13, and improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100.

Through the intermolecular electron push-pull interaction, the mobility of the hole transport material can be improved. At the same time, the aromatic subunit acts as a conjugated bridge, which can not only improve the hole extraction and transport capabilities of the hole transport material, but also regulate the energy level of the hole transport material. Using this hole transport material in the hole transport layer 121 of the solar cell 100 can improve the hole extraction and transport capabilities of the film layer and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100.

[0153] In some embodiments, the aromatic subunit includes at least one of the following groups: substituted or unsubstituted phenyl subunit, substituted or unsubstituted thiophene subunit, substituted or unsubstituted furan subunit, substituted or unsubstituted thiophene subunit, substituted or unsubstituted biphenyl subunit, and substituted or unsubstituted bithiophene subunit.

[0154] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the energy level of the hole transport material and the hole extraction and transport capability are controlled by the aramid groups within the above-mentioned range, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100.

[0155] In some embodiments, the general formula for hole transport materials is shown in formula (1) and / or formula (2):

[0156] Equation (1);

[0157] Equation (2);

[0158] in:

[0159] Y1 and Y2 each independently include at least one of the following groups: , , , , , , , , , , , ;

[0160] Ar1 and Ar2 independently include at least one of the following groups: substituted or unsubstituted benzene group, substituted or unsubstituted thiophene group, substituted or unsubstituted furan group, substituted or unsubstituted thiophene group, substituted or unsubstituted biphenyl group, substituted or unsubstituted bithiophene group;

[0161] R1 to R8 independently include at least one of the following groups: hydrogen, methoxy, methylthio;

[0163] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the hole transport material of the above general formula utilizes the electron push-pull interaction between groups to improve the hole extraction and transport capabilities of the hole transport material. Y1 and Y2 groups are within the above-mentioned range, Ar1 and Ar2 are within the above-mentioned range, and Z1~Z 10 Within the aforementioned range, the hole extraction and transport capabilities of the hole transport material can be better improved, as well as the molecular energy levels of the hole transport material can be controlled. R1 to R8, within the aforementioned range, ensure the triphenylamine group exhibits good stability. Using this hole transport material in the hole transport layer 12 results in the hole transport layer 12 possessing excellent hole extraction and transport capabilities, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100.
