摘要
Surface and grain boundary defects in halide perovskite solar cells are highly detrimental,reducing efficiencies and stabilities.Widespread halide anion and organic cation defects usually aggravate ion diffusion and material degradation on the surfaces and at the grain boundaries of perovskite films.In this study,we employ an in-situ green method utilizing nontoxic cetyltrimethylammonium chloride(CTAC)and isopropanol(IPA)as anti-solvents to effectively passivate both surface and grain boundary defects in hybrid perovskites.Anion vacancies can be readily passivated by the chloride group due to its high electronegativity,and cation defects can be synchronously passivated by the more stable cetyltrimethylammonium group.The results show that the charge trap density was significantly reduced,while the carrier recombination lifetime was markedly extended.As a result,the power conversion efficiency of the cell can reach 23.4%with this in-situ green method.In addition,the device retains 85%of its original power conversion efficiency after 600 h of operation under illumination,showing that the stability of perovskite solar cells is improved with this in-situ passivation strategy.This work may provide a green and effective route to improve both the stability and efficiency of perovskite solar cells.
目前钙钛矿太阳能电池多采用反溶剂成膜法制备钙钛矿吸收层,其优点是工艺简便、成本低廉.但是反溶剂法是一种快速结晶的制备方法,容易在钙钛矿薄膜晶粒的晶界和表面形成大量的缺陷,导致钙钛矿太阳能电池器件效率和稳定性的下降.虽然通过钙钛矿成膜之后再沉积钝化材料的后处理法可以钝化钙钛矿薄膜表面的缺陷,但是这种后处理法无法有效钝化晶粒界面处的缺陷.同时,由于目前多采用氯苯和甲苯等有毒溶剂作为反溶剂,制备过程产生的有毒污染较为严重.为了解决上述问题,本文将无毒的十六烷基三甲基氯化铵作为钝化剂直接加入无毒的异丙醇中作为绿色反溶剂,可以在钙钛矿晶体生长和成膜的过程中原位钝化晶粒的界面和表面的缺陷.通过这种原位钝化的方法,可以将钙钛矿太阳能电池器件的效率由20.3%提升至23.4%,并且稳定性也得到了明显提高.
