This invention provides a perovskite quantum dot solar cell and its preparation method. The method includes: a conductive glass, on which an electron transport layer, a light-absorbing layer, a hole layer, and a metal anode are sequentially deposited. This invention utilizes lead salt modification and vacuum drying to reduce damage to the perovskite quantum dot film. This method is simple, efficient, and reproducible, effectively passivating surface defects in the perovskite quantum dots and increasing the density of the perovskite quantum dot film, reducing non-radiative recombination of charge carriers. Simultaneously, it improves the photogenerated charge transport capability in the quantum dot film, increasing the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of the perovskite quantum dot solar cell, resulting in a high-performance perovskite quantum dot solar cell. The perovskite quantum dot film prepared by this method has good density and high coverage, significantly improving the quality of the quantum dot film. Furthermore, the reaction conditions are easy to control, reproducible, and the equipment is simple, facilitating its application in practical production.

The application discloses a preparation method of an array quantum dot solar cell, which comprises the following steps: preparing a BiVO4 dense layer and a BiVO4 nanorod array as an electron transport layer on a conductive glass; depositing a histidine monomolecular modification layer on the electron transport layer, and then depositing PbS quantum dots as a light absorption layer on the histidine monomolecular modification layer; depositing a hole transport layer on the light absorption layer; and evaporating a metal electrode layer on the hole transport layer.
