Detailed Description
The invention provides a perovskite solar cell with a NiO x buffer layer and a preparation method thereof, and the invention is further described in detail below in order to make the purposes, technical schemes and effects of the invention clearer and more definite. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs unless defined otherwise. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the prior art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
Perovskite solar cells are an emerging high efficiency photovoltaic technology that has received great attention due to its tunable energy band, long carrier diffusion length and high absorption coefficient. In the last decade, perovskite solar cell efficiency has increased rapidly from 3.8% to 26.1%, and its rapid efficiency breakthrough was unprecedented in the history of photovoltaic development. In the technical field of photovoltaics, the cost, the efficiency and the service life are gold triangle elements for judging the commercial feasibility of the solar cell, and the leveling cost of the perovskite photovoltaic module is lower than that of the silicon-based photovoltaic module through calculation, however, the stability is an urgent problem to be overcome in large-scale commercialization of the perovskite solar cell.
Perovskite advances in the photovoltaic field are due to optimization of absorber layer composition and engineering of suitable hole/electron transport layers (HTL/ETL). Although perovskite photovoltaics have achieved excellent work, to date, there has been limited investigation into the interfacial coverage of the upper surface of a transparent conductive electrode (TCO) with a contact layer. The conventional techniques for preparing the hole transport layer of the perovskite photovoltaic device are a solution method, a knife coating method, a spraying method, a magnetron sputtering method and the like, but the surface of the TCO is not absolutely flat, the rough surface of the TCO can lead to the reduction of the coverage degree of the charge transport layer, uncovered areas can lead to low open circuit voltage and high series resistance, thus reducing the device efficiency, and poor coverage can lead to the direct contact of the perovskite film with the TCO layer, thus reducing the stability.
The current inverted perovskite solar cell hole transport layer materials are mainly poly [ bis (4-phenyl) (2, 4, 6-trimethylphenyl) amine ] (PTAA), niO x, polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS) or self-assembled monolayers (SAM). PTAA can be prepared well at low temperature, but has poor wettability to perovskite solutions and a price of about 50 times that of gold, which is unfavorable for large-area commercialization. PEDOT PSS has the advantage of high permeation and high conductivity, but the hygroscopicity of PSS can lead to poor PSC stability. Aiming at the problems, niO x which is relatively stable and moderate in cost is often selected as a perovskite solar cell hole transport layer material, but the NiO x film prepared by a spin coating method cannot solve the problems of lattice mismatch between NiO x and a TCO substrate, poor film coverage rate, poor film forming quality and the like.
Based on this, as shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a method for preparing a perovskite solar cell having a NiO x buffer layer, comprising the steps of:
Step S10: providing a TCO substrate and preprocessing to obtain a preprocessed TCO substrate;
Step S20: depositing a NiO x buffer layer on the pretreated TCO substrate by utilizing an atomic layer deposition method;
step S30: depositing a nickel oxide hole transport layer on one side of the NiO x buffer layer away from the TCO substrate by using a spin coating method;
Step S40: and sequentially preparing a perovskite light absorption layer, an electron transport layer, a charge blocking layer and an electrode layer on one side of the nickel oxide hole transport layer, which is away from the NiO x buffer layer, so as to obtain the perovskite solar cell with the NiO x buffer layer.
In this embodiment, an ultrathin NiO x thin film is prepared on a TCO substrate by using an Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technology to serve as a buffer layer of a hole transport layer of a perovskite solar cell, and the buffer layer effectively solves the problem that the NiO x hole transport layer is not lattice matched with the TCO substrate, and the preparation of the ultrathin NiO x buffer layer on the TCO substrate by ALD can reduce the surface roughness of the TCO substrate, improve the surface wettability, and promote the film formation quality of the subsequent hole transport layer.
Specifically, the invention aims to prepare an ultrathin NiO x buffer layer by utilizing the characteristic that atomic layer deposition can prepare a high-quality, large-area and uniform oxide film on an atomic level through self-limiting half reaction, and the buffer layer also changes the potential and wettability of the surface of a TCO substrate by focusing on interface roughness on the combination between interfaces. ALD technology is highly conformal and capable of producing high quality pinhole-free thin films; the NiO x buffer layer effectively avoids device short circuit and light absorption layer decomposition caused by direct contact of the hole transport layer with the TCO substrate, and improves the efficiency and device stability of the inverted perovskite solar cell from the perspective of improving short circuit current and reducing series resistance. And the NiO x buffer layer is prepared in the perovskite solar cell by an ALD technology, so that the damage of water and oxygen to the light absorption layer of the perovskite solar cell is effectively prevented, the open-circuit voltage (Voc), the short-circuit current (Jsc), the Filling Factor (FF) and the conversion efficiency (PEC) of the cell device are improved, and the efficient and stable perovskite solar cell device is realized.
In some embodiments, in the step S10, the preprocessing includes the steps of: and respectively carrying out ultrasonic cleaning on the TCO substrate for 15 minutes by using acetone, isopropanol and ethanol, blow-drying the surface of the TCO substrate by using an argon gun, and treating the TCO substrate by using UV ozone for 15 minutes to obtain the pretreated TCO substrate. And (3) preprocessing the TCO substrate to remove impurities on the surface of the TCO substrate, thereby obtaining the clean TCO substrate.
In some embodiments, the TCO substrate includes, but is not limited to, one of fluorine doped tin dioxide (FTO), indium Tin Oxide (ITO).
In some embodiments, in the step S20, the step of depositing the NiO x buffer layer on the pretreated TCO substrate by using an atomic layer deposition method includes:
Step S21: placing an organic nickel source in a reaction cavity of atomic layer deposition equipment, and setting a deposition temperature and a nickel source heating temperature;
Step S22: a pulse oxide precursor is utilized to enter a reaction cavity, and then a pulse inert gas is used for purging the reaction cavity;
step S23: the pulse organic nickel source enters the cavity and performs oxidation-reduction reaction with the pretreated TCO substrate to generate a NiO x film;
Step S24: and (5) purging the reaction cavity by using pulse inert gas again to prepare the NiO x buffer layer.
Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is a vapor deposition technique that produces high quality, uniform oxide films at the atomic level by two self-limiting half reactions. The thickness at the atomic level is controlled by controlling the number of reaction cycles, so that fine tuning of the optical, chemical and electrical properties of the film can be realized. The atomic layer deposition has the characteristics of conformality, repeatability, industrial feasibility and the like, and the technology is beneficial to the industrialized mass production of perovskite.
Specifically, atomic layer deposition is to alternately enter a reaction cavity through a pulse airflow mode and another oxide reaction source through a gas path control mode, perform surface chemical adsorption on a substrate reaching a certain chemical reaction temperature, and finally prepare a compact metal oxide film after alternating layer-by-layer adsorption saturation reaction. As shown in fig. 2, an oxide precursor (for example, O 3) is first pulsed into the reaction chamber, chemisorbed on the TCO substrate, and then an inert gas (for example, N 2) is purged from the chamber to purge the excess oxide precursor out of the chamber; next, pulsing an organonickel source that will undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction with the oxide precursor on the substrate surface to produce metal oxide NiO x and byproducts (H 2O、CO2); and then, the inert gas (for example, N 2) is pulsed again to purge the cavity to remove redundant organic nickel sources and reaction byproducts, so that atomic layer deposition is completed once, and only a layer of single atomic layer film material is deposited in each growth period, so that the thickness is controlled at the atomic layer level.
In some embodiments, the thickness of the NiO x buffer layer is controlled by controlling the number of ALD cycles, which is 5-20 times; too thick a buffer layer of NiO x would reduce light transmittance and affect light absorption by the perovskite light absorbing layer, too thin a buffer layer of NiO x would not adequately isolate water oxygen and would be detrimental to charge transport. Preferably, when the number of cycles is 10, the stability of the resulting perovskite solar cell device is optimal, and too thin or too thick buffer layers can affect the efficiency and stability of the device.
In some embodiments, the organonickel source comprises one or more of nickel dicyclopentadienyl, nickel bis (methylcyclopentadienyl), nickel bis (ethylcyclopentadienyl), nickel bis (dimethylamine-2-propanol), nickel bis (tetramethylheptanedione), nickel N, N '-diisopropylacetamidinate, nickel N, N' -di-tert-butylacetamidinate; and/or, the oxidizing precursor comprises one or more of O 3、H2O、H2O2; and/or the inert gas comprises one or more of nitrogen, helium, argon and neon.
In some embodiments, the pulse time of the pulse oxide precursor is 0.1s-9999s; the pulse time of the pulse inert gas is 0.1s-9999s; the pulse time of the pulse organic nickel source is 0.1s-9999s. Too little pulse time cannot fully react and purge the clean chamber of excess raw materials and reaction byproducts, too much pulse time can lead to waste of materials and contamination of the chamber.
The atomic layer deposition equipment produced by different manufacturers has different raw materials, inert gases and pulse time, and the pulse time is influenced by factors such as the size of a reaction cavity, the size of pulse air pressure, deposition temperature and the like.
In some embodiments, the deposition temperature is 150 ℃ to 250 ℃; the heating temperature of the nickel source is 50-100 ℃. Too low a deposition temperature may result in a precursor not being surface reacted with the substrate; when the deposition temperature is too high, the precursor is thermally decomposed on the substrate to be converted into an unlimited growth CVD mode, the growth rate is increased in a nonlinear manner, and on the other hand, the substrate desorption effect is caused by high temperature, and the growth rate is reduced. In addition, the saturated vapor pressure and good volatility promote efficient transport of the gas within the cavity. The heating of the nickel source is to give extra heat compensation outside the organic nickel source bottle, so as to better gasify the organic nickel source to pulse into the reaction cavity.
In some embodiments, the atomic layer deposition apparatus has a vacuum level of 2Pa (2X 10 -2 Torr).
In some embodiments, in the step S30, the step of depositing a nickel oxide hole transport layer on a side of the NiO x buffer layer facing away from the TCO substrate by spin coating includes:
Step S31: carrying out ultrasonic mixing on nickel oxide powder and ultrapure water to obtain nickel oxide nano colloid solution;
Step S32: and spin-coating and depositing the nickel oxide nano colloid solution on one side of the NiO x buffer layer, which is away from the TCO substrate, and carrying out annealing treatment to obtain the nickel oxide hole transport layer.
In the embodiment, the agglomeration of NiO nano particles is prevented by ultrasonic mixing, and the annealing treatment effectively promotes the film forming quality of the film, so that a compact and uniform nickel oxide hole transport layer is prepared.
In some embodiments, the nickel oxide powder is ultrasonically stirred with ultrapure water for 20-40 minutes to uniformly disperse the nanoparticles, resulting in a nickel oxide nano-colloid solution having a concentration of between 15-20 mg/ml. Sufficient ultrasonic time can prevent NiO nano particles from agglomerating, and the agglomeration of the particles can lead to poor charge transmission performance of the prepared nickel oxide film.
In some embodiments, in the step S32, the annealing treatment is annealing at 120 ℃ to 150 ℃ for 20 minutes to 40 minutes in an air environment; the film forming quality of the film can be effectively promoted by the sufficient annealing temperature and the annealing time, and the moisture in the film can be sufficiently volatilized by the proper temperature, so that the preparation of the subsequent functional layer is facilitated.
In some embodiments, the perovskite light absorbing layer is formed by spin coating and annealing (FA 0.83MA0.17)0.95Cs0.05Pb(I0.9Br0.1)3 precursor solution; and/or the (FA 0.83MA0.17)0.95Cs0.05Pb(I0.9Br0.1)3 precursor solution is formed by cesium iodide (CsI), formamidine hydroiodidate (FAI), methyl amine bromide (MABr), lead iodide (PbI 2), lead bromide (PbBr 2), methyl ammonium chloride (MACl), N-Dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)), wherein the annealing is performed at 100 ℃ for 60 minutes in a glove box.
The perovskite precursor solution may be used to adjust the band gap of the perovskite light absorbing layer according to different needs. (the band gap of FA 0.83MA0.17)0.95Cs0.05Pb(I0.9Br0.1)3 is about 1.54eV.
In some embodiments, the (FA 0.83MA0.17)0.95Cs0.05Pb(I0.9Br0.1)3 precursor solution concentration is 1.4M. The volume ratio of N, N-dimethylformamide to dimethylsulfoxide is 4:1.
In some embodiments, the electron transport layer comprises one of [6,6] -phenyl-C61-butyric acid isopropyl ester (PCBM), tin dioxide (SnO 2), titanium dioxide (TiO 2), aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO), C60, and the preparation process is chemical vapor deposition, vacuum evaporation, electron beam evaporation, spin coating, etc.
Specifically, taking [6,6] -phenyl-C61-butyric acid isopropyl ester (PCBM) as an example, an electron transport layer was prepared comprising the steps of: a certain amount of [6,6] -phenyl-C61-methyl butyrate (PCBM) is added into Chlorobenzene (CB), a magnetic stirrer is added to stir a solvent on a magnetic stirrer to prepare 15-20mg/ml PCBM colloid solution, and then 80 μl of PCBM colloid solution is spin-coated and deposited on a perovskite light absorption layer to obtain an electron transport layer. Preferably, the concentration of the PCBM colloidal solution is 20mg/ml.
In some embodiments, the material of the charge blocking layer includes one of bathocuproinedisulfonic acid disodium salt (BCP), aluminum oxide (AlO x), and tin dioxide (SnO 2).
Specifically, taking bathocuproinedisulfonic acid disodium salt (BCP) as an example, the preparation of the charge blocking layer comprises the steps of: a certain amount of disodium salt of bath ketoamine disulfonate (BCP) is added into isopropyl alcohol (IPA), a magnetic stirrer is added to stir a solvent on a magnetic stirrer to prepare 0.3-0.5mg/ml BCP solution, and then 100 mu l of BPC solution is spin-coated and deposited on the electron transport layer to obtain a charge blocking layer. Preferably, the concentration of the BCP solution is 0.5mg/ml.
In some embodiments, the electrode layer is, but is not limited to, a silver electrode.
Specifically, transferring the device with the prepared charge blocking layer into a vacuum evaporation bin, and evaporating a silver electrode; the vacuum degree in the vacuum evaporation process is recommended to be lower than 10 -5 Pa, the deposition rate is 0.1-0.8 A.S -1, and the 80-100nm Ag electrode is obtained. Preferably, the thickness of the electrode layer is 100nm.
In addition, the invention also provides a perovskite solar cell with the NiO x buffer layer, which is prepared by the preparation method of the perovskite solar cell with the NiO x buffer layer; and/or, as shown in fig. 3, the TCO substrate 10, niO x buffer layer 20, nickel oxide hole transport layer 30, perovskite light absorbing layer 40, electron transport layer 50, charge blocking layer 60, and electrode layer 70 are stacked in this order from bottom to top.
In the embodiment, the ultra-thin NiO x buffer layer is prepared by utilizing the characteristic that atomic layer deposition can prepare a high-quality, large-area and uniform oxide film on an atomic level through self-limiting half reaction, and the buffer layer also changes the potential and the wettability of the surface of the TCO substrate by focusing on the interface roughness on the combination between interfaces. ALD technology is highly conformal and capable of producing high quality pinhole-free thin films; the NiO x buffer layer effectively avoids device short circuit and light absorption layer decomposition caused by direct contact of the hole transport layer with the TCO substrate, and improves the efficiency and device stability of the inverted perovskite solar cell from the perspective of improving short circuit current and reducing series resistance. And the NiO x buffer layer is prepared in the perovskite solar cell by an ALD technology, so that the damage of water and oxygen to the light absorption layer of the perovskite solar cell is effectively prevented, the open-circuit voltage (Voc), the short-circuit current (Jsc), the Filling Factor (FF) and the conversion efficiency (PEC) of the cell device are improved, and the efficient and stable perovskite solar cell device is realized.
In some embodiments, the NiO x buffer layer has a thickness of 1nm to 10nm; too thick a buffer layer of NiO x will reduce light transmittance to affect light absorption by the perovskite light absorbing layer. Too thin a buffer layer of NiO x does not adequately insulate water from oxygen and does not facilitate charge transport.
In some embodiments, the nickel oxide hole transport layer has a thickness of 30-50nm; the thickness of the perovskite light absorption layer is 500-600nm; the thickness of the electron transport layer is 40-60nm; the thickness of the charge blocking layer is 20-30nm.
