Technical Field
the invention relates to the technical field of inorganic perovskite CsPbBr3 photovoltaic cells, in particular to a phthalocyanine dye sensitized CsPbBr3 photovoltaic cell and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
energy crisis and environmental pollution are two prominent problems facing the development of the human society at present. The photovoltaic industry, which is centered on solar cells, directly converts solar energy into electrical energy, which is one of the cleanest energy sources available to human beings and is recognized as "green energy source". In recent years, the research heat of perovskite solar cells scraped from the solar field has attracted more and more attention of researchers, and such perovskite materials have excellent photoelectric properties, such as high quantum efficiency, large light absorption coefficient, long carrier migration distance, and the like, and also have solution processability. The perovskite does not show great application prospect in the solar field. The perovskite material commonly used at present is mainly organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite (CH3NH3PbX3), and a great problem of the material is that the material has poor thermal stability and is easy to decompose at high temperature. Inorganic perovskites CsPbBr3, which can withstand high temperatures above 200 ℃, can avoid this problem.
however, inorganic perovskite CsPbBr3 photovoltaic cells are not perfect. Currently, the CsPbBr3 battery has the following problems: (1) the research of the international CsPbBr3 battery is just started, and particularly, the defect of surface flatness of the prepared CsPbBr3 film has a large number of holes, and the existence of the holes can cause the direct contact of an electron transmission layer such as C60 and the like and a hole transmission layer, increase the recombination probability of electron holes, reduce the parallel resistance of the battery, and cause the overall reduction of characteristic parameters such as short-circuit current, filling factor, open-circuit voltage and the like of the battery, thereby reducing the efficiency of the battery. (2) The light absorption range of the CsPbBr3 is within the range of 300-520 nm, and the absorption is weak or almost no in the visible light range and near infrared region of 520-760 nm, so that the photocurrent and the energy conversion efficiency of the CsPbBr3 battery are greatly limited. (3) in addition, the CsPbBr3 battery has the problem that CsPbBr3 is sensitive to water oxygen, which affects the service life of the battery. Solving these problems is very urgent to improve the performance of CsPbBr3 batteries.

The test results show that the efficiency and the service life of the battery are improved by more than one time.
The working and implementation principle of the present invention is briefly described below. The invention introduces a phthalocyanine sensitizing layer to improve the efficiency and the service life of the CsPbBr3 photovoltaic cell, and is based on the following reasons: (1) the binding energy of the exciton of the perovskite material is very small, and the exciton binding energy is reported to be less than 0.1 eV, so that the photogenerated exciton formed in the CsPbBr3 perovskite can be automatically dissociated into free electron and hole to a great extent without diffusing to the interface of the photogenerated exciton and an electron transmission layer, and even if a phthalocyanine dye sensitization layer is introduced, the decomposition of the exciton and the formation of photocurrent in the CsPbBr3 photosensitive layer are not hindered; (2) the phthalocyanine dye material has good bipolar transmission performance, namely photo-generated electrons formed in the CsPbBr3 photosensitive layer can be transmitted to the electron transmission layer through the sensitizing layer and are finally collected by the electrode, and the transmission and collection of charges in the original device are not influenced by the introduction of the dye sensitizing layer. (3) The surface roughness of the CsPbBr3 film photosensitive layer is large, and more holes exist. Even if a sensitizing layer with a certain thickness, such as 20nm, is introduced, the contact between the CsPbBr3 layer and the electron transport layer cannot be completely isolated, or the actual distance between the CsPbBr3 layer and the electron transport layer is smaller than the thickness of the sensitizing layer, so that the possibility of decomposition of excitons in CsPbBr3 at the interface between the excitons and the electron transport layer is improved, the electron transport distance is shortened, and the collection of photo-generated electrons formed in CsPbBr3 is facilitated.
Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
