The photoelectric conversion performance data of the perovskite solar cell prepared in each of the above examples and comparative examples are listed in table 1.
Example 12
Example 12 compares the grazing incidence diffraction pattern results of the perovskite thin films prepared in example 3 and comparative example 1, i.e., the thin film products obtained in step 3 in example 3 and comparative example 1. The diffraction pattern of the perovskite thin film in example 3 is shown in FIG. 2, and the diffraction pattern of the perovskite thin film in comparative example 1 is shown in FIG. 3. The spin-coated perovskite thin film in air was tested for grazing incidence XRD. Wherein the incident angles are respectively 0.6 degrees, 0.9 degrees, 1.2 degrees and 1.5 degrees, the diffraction angle 2theta is 10-50 degrees, and the X-ray wavelength is 0.154nm. The perovskite thin film of the control group without the ionic liquid showed a large amount of diffraction peaks of lead iodide near 12.6 ° in 2theta, and the incidence angle was increased, the X-ray transmission depth was increased, and the intensity of the diffraction peaks was unchanged. Indicating that the lead iodide is mainly generated at the film-air interface. The perovskite thin film of the experimental group to which the mixture of the ionic liquid and the aprotic polar solvent was added had no discernible diffraction peak of lead iodide and no other visible diffraction peak of impurities. It is explained that the ionic liquid successfully inhibits deprotonation and volatilization of the cationic component, thereby inhibiting point-vacancy defects generated thereby.
Example 13
Example 13 comparative examples 1-3 and comparative example 1 the photoluminescent results of the perovskite thin films produced in examples 1-3 and comparative example 1, i.e., the thin film products obtained in step 3 of examples 1-3 and comparative example 1. The comparison result is shown in FIG. 4. Unlike the substrates in examples 1-3, the films were prepared on cleaned electronic glass substrates. Photoluminescence efficiency measurements were performed in an integrating sphere having a radius of about 120mm, with an excitation light wavelength of 405nm and an excitation light power equivalent of about 10mW/cm 2 . As shown in FIG. 4, the photoluminescence curve peak position of the perovskite thin film prepared after the ionic liquid is added can be blue-shifted by 3-5nm (from 819nm to 815 nm), and the luminous efficiency is obviously enhanced. The photoluminescence efficiency was 2.02% in comparative example 1 containing no ionic liquid, 6.24% in comparative example 3 having a molar content of 1% of ionic liquid, 4.19% in comparative example 2 having a molar content of 2% of ionic liquid, and 2.85% in comparative example 1 having a molar content of 4% of ionic liquid. The ionic liquid additive can effectively improve the photoluminescence efficiency of the prepared perovskite film, and the optimal molar content is present and is optimal to be 1%.
Example 14
Example 14 compares the electroluminescent results of the perovskite devices prepared in example 1 and comparative example 1, namely the thin film products obtained in examples 1 to 3 and step 3 of comparative example 1. The comparison result is shown in FIG. 5. The sample in example 17 is a complete solar cell device, unlike example 16. As shown in FIG. 5, the electroluminescence efficiency of the perovskite solar cell prepared after the ionic liquid is added is obviously higher than that of the device in the control group, which indicates that the device prepared by the experimental group has higher perovskite film quality and lower open voltage loss.
Example 15
Example 15 comparative example 3 and comparative example 1 the photoluminescence stability of the perovskite thin films prepared, i.e. the relationship between the emission peak position and the intensity over time in example 13. The photoluminescence stability measurement results of the sample prepared in comparative example 1 are shown in fig. 6, and the photoluminescence stability measurement results of the sample prepared in example 3 are shown in fig. 7. The preparation method and measurement method in example 15 were the same as in example 13. When measuring the photoluminescence stability, the photoluminescence curves were scanned every 1 minute and recorded. As can be seen from comparing the results of fig. 6 and 7, the perovskite thin film as known in example 3 shows good photoluminescence stability after the ionic liquid is added. The peak position and the intensity of the emitted light are basically kept unchanged within a measurement scale of 30min, and the stability is good. Whereas the intensity of the emission curve of comparative example 1 was rapidly decreased, the peak position was shifted.
Table 1 results of performance comparisons for various examples
As can be seen from table 1, the perovskite solar cell has better photoelectric conversion efficiency and more excellent stability based on the perovskite precursor solution mixing additive strategy of the invention. As can be seen from the results of comparative example 1, the perovskite solar cell prepared by using the ionic liquid as the additive has better photoelectric conversion performance than the perovskite solar cell prepared by using the ionic liquid as the solvent. This demonstrates that a small amount of ionic liquid additive can achieve its physicochemical properties that protect the precursor solution without being fully practical as a solvent. From various comparison results, the ionic liquid additive based on the dimethylamine formic acid is suitable for various perovskite components, has the characteristic of universality from narrow-band gap perovskite to wide-band gap perovskite, is suitable for preparing perovskite films and battery devices in multiple scenes, and ensures excellent battery performance. Meanwhile, the preparation process is simple, the cost is low, and the commercialization requirements can be completely met.
In particular, the invention provides an improvement of the device performance of the dimethylamine formic acid ionic liquid additive, wherein the optimization interval of the content of the additive in the precursor solution exists, and the optimization interval is changed with perovskite components with different band gaps. In particular, for multi-cesium content wide bandgap perovskites with a bandgap greater than 1.65eV, the ionic liquid additive requires a higher addition level of 5%. For a conventional lead-based perovskite having a band gap of about 1.55eV, the ionic liquid optimized additive content is about 1%. For lead-tin mixed perovskites with a band gap of about 1.28eV, device fabrication needs to be performed in a nitrogen glove phase and the optimum additive content is about 2, since the divalent stannous component contained in the precursor is extremely sensitive to oxygen.
The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement the same, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
