After the perovskite solution and a certain amount of surfactant solution are coated step by step, the hydrophilicity of the surface of the electron/hole transport layer during coating is improved, the flatness of the surface contacted with air after the perovskite solution is formed into a film is regulated, and the volatilization speed of a solvent in the perovskite solution is regulated, so that defects such as shrinkage cavity, pinholes, uneven film thickness and the like caused during coating are reduced. After the complete solar cell is prepared, interface defects between the perovskite layer and the transmission layer and internal defects of the perovskite layer can be passivated, so that the carrier transmission performance of the perovskite solar cell is effectively improved, and the recombination of electron-hole carrier pairs is inhibited, so that the efficiency of the perovskite solar cell is improved.
In the slit coating process by using the coating equipment, the surfactant plays a role in leveling the perovskite solution, so that the defects of uneven film thickness and holes of the formed perovskite film are reduced, and the efficiency of the manufactured perovskite solar cell is improved. Compared with the prior art, the invention also relates to the functions of emulsifying, solubilizing and suspending the surfactant in the perovskite solution.
The invention also discloses a using method of the perovskite solution and surfactant step-by-step coating equipment, which comprises the following steps:
In the first step, the prepared surfactant solution and perovskite solution are poured into different raw material bottles respectively, and the perovskite solution is contained in the raw material bottle 109 of one group of the first coating device positioned in front, and the surfactant solution is contained in the raw material bottle 209 of the second group of the second coating device positioned in rear.
In a second step, the substrate 208 to be coated is placed on the coating platform 106. First, the injection pump 104 of one of the first group of coating devices is turned on, the transfer device 107 is turned on, and the perovskite solution is transported to the coating die 101 of one group through the conduit 103 of one group. The set of die lifting tables 102 and the coating platform 106 are driven by the conveying device 107 to move relatively, the height between the set of coating dies 101 and the substrate 208 to be coated is adjusted by the set of die lifting tables 102, and the set of coating dies 101 performs first coating on the surface of the substrate 208 to be coated placed on the coating platform 106.
In a third step, the second set of injection pumps 204 of the second set of coating devices are then turned on and the surfactant solution is delivered to the second set of coating dies 201 through the second set of conduits 203. The conveyor 107 is turned on to deliver the substrate 208 coated with the perovskite solution to the coating dies 201 of the two groups of the second group of coating devices. Simultaneously, the two sets of die lifting tables 202 and the coating platform 106 are driven by the conveying device 107 to move relatively, the two sets of die lifting tables 202 are used for adjusting the height between the two sets of coating dies 201 and the substrate 208 to be coated, the two sets of coating dies 201 are used for coating the surface of the substrate 208 which is placed on the coating platform 106 and is coated with the perovskite solution for the second time, and the surface of the substrate 208 is coated with a wet film of the perovskite solution and the surfactant solution in sequence.
Fourth, the post-treatment device 105 is started, the substrate 208 coated with the wet film is conveyed to the post-treatment device 105 by the conveying device 107 for post-treatment, and solvent components in the wet film are further volatilized to obtain a dry film, so that a perovskite thin film layer is prepared on the surface of the substrate 208.
Specifically, in the third step, the two-group coating die 201 is to coat the surfactant solution in a state where the perovskite solution wet film coated by the first-group coating device on the surface of the substrate 208 is in a semi-solidified and semi-flowing state. The semi-solidification and semi-flowing state refers to that part of the solvent of the perovskite solution volatilizes and solute crystallization is started to be separated out, a solute deposition layer is formed on the surface of the substrate visually, and a flowable perovskite solution is still arranged on the solute deposition layer. The aim of coating a surface active agent layer under the state that the perovskite solution wet film is semi-solidified and semi-flowing is to reduce the surface tension of the perovskite solution, so that the perovskite solution is leveled and dried to form a relatively uniform perovskite film layer. The surfactant prevents the volatilization of the solvent in the perovskite solution after being paved on the surface of the perovskite solution, so that the surfactant also plays a role in regulating and controlling the film formation of the perovskite solution in the film formation process of the perovskite solution.
Specifically, in the fourth step, the wet film on the surface of the substrate 208 is in a leveling state before the post-treatment device 105 is turned on.
Specifically, in the first step, the perovskite solution and the surfactant solution are placed in the order that they are interchanged as needed, and the coating order and the number of coating times of the perovskite solution and the surfactant solution in the second step and the third step are also adjusted as needed.
In practical use, the process and sequence of solution coating should be determined according to the wettability of the perovskite solution to the substrate. For hydrophilic substrates, a layer of surfactant layer solution is immediately coated after perovskite solution is coated, and after the surfactant layer solution is further leveled on the substrate, the substrate is dried to form a flat perovskite film layer. For lipophilic substrates, the perovskite solution with hydrophilicity has a tendency to shrink after being directly coated because the cohesion of the perovskite solution is greater than the adhesion force of the surface of the contact part with the substrate, thereby causing shrinkage defects. Therefore, before the perovskite solution is coated on the lipophilic substrate, a layer of surfactant solution is coated, then the perovskite solution is coated, finally a layer of surfactant solution is coated, and after the surfactant solution is further leveled on the substrate, the perovskite film layer is obtained after drying and film forming.
The hydrophilic substrate includes: at least one of copper oxide, nickel oxide, molybdenum oxide and zinc oxide.
The lipophilic base includes: PTAA (poly [ bis (4-phenyl) (2, 4, 6-trimethylphenyl) amine ]), P3HT (poly (3-hexylthiophene-2, 5-diyl)), PCBM ([ 6.6] -phenyl-C61-butanoic acid methyl ester), graphene.

The dilution solvent is at least one of N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and gamma-butyrolactone (GBL). The mass ratio of the surfactant solution to the perovskite solution is 0.01-10%, the surfactant solution comprises an active agent solute and an active agent solvent, the active agent solute is a nonionic, cationic, anionic or amphoteric surfactant, and the active agent solvent is at least one of petroleum ether, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethane, benzene, dichloromethane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and acetone.
Specifically, in the second and third steps, the conditions of the operation setting parameters of the two sets of the coating dies are: the width of the slit is 20-300um, the coating liquid amount is 0.2-2ul/cm 2, the coating speed is 0.5-50cm/s, the liquid outlet temperature of the coating die head is 25-180 ℃, and the coating temperature is 25-180 ℃.

The coating parameters and coating positions of the coating dies 101 of one group and the coating dies 201 of two groups are set independently of each other.
Specifically, a film forming apparatus (not shown) that performs a film forming process on the wet film just coated on the surface of the substrate 208 within 0 to 60s after the end of the coating die of the group is also provided on each of the die lifting tables. The film forming apparatus of each set includes a heater and a blower or blower, or a heater and a vacuum pump.
Specifically, the film forming treatment includes a heat treatment or a drying treatment. The heat treatment is to place the substrate after each coating is finished at the low vacuum pressure of 10 -5-105 Pa and the air temperature of 25-150 ℃ for 10-600s for annealing treatment. The drying treatment is to rapidly dry the wet film on the surface of the substrate after each coating by adopting air convection caused by a blowing or exhausting mode, wherein the air speed of air flowing caused by blowing or exhausting is 0.5-10m/s, and the temperature of flowing air is 25-150 ℃.
Specifically, in the fourth step, the post-processing performed by the post-processing device 105 includes: placing the substrate 208 coated with the wet film of the perovskite solution and the surfactant solution under the action of at least one gas of vacuum, dry air, H 2 O (water), DMF (N, N-dimethylformamide), DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), GBL (gamma-butyrolactone) and NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone), wherein the ambient pressure is 10 -5-106 Pa, the ambient temperature is 100-150 ℃, the standing time is 5-120min, and drying the wet film into a dry film, thereby preparing the perovskite thin film layer on the surface of the substrate.

The heat treatment is to place the substrate after each coating is finished at the low vacuum pressure of 10 -5-105 Pa and the air temperature of 25-150 ℃ for 10-600s for annealing treatment. The drying treatment is to rapidly dry the wet film on the surface of the substrate after each coating by adopting air convection caused by a blowing or exhausting mode, wherein the air speed of air flowing caused by blowing or exhausting is 0.5-10m/s, and the temperature of flowing air is 25-150 ℃.
Specifically, in S4, the post-processing performed by the post-processing device 105 includes: placing the substrate 208 coated with the wet film of the perovskite solution and the surfactant solution under the action of at least one gas of vacuum, dry air, nitrogen, H 2 O (water), DMF (N, N-dimethylformamide), DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), GBL (gamma-butyrolactone) and NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone), wherein the ambient pressure is 10 -5-106 Pa, the ambient temperature is 100-150 ℃, the standing time is 5-120min, and drying the wet film into a dry film, thereby preparing the perovskite thin film layer on the surface of the substrate.
The invention also discloses a perovskite solar cell, which comprises a perovskite thin film layer, wherein the perovskite thin film layer is prepared by adopting the perovskite solution and surfactant step-by-step coating equipment, or is prepared by adopting the using method of the perovskite solution and surfactant step-by-step coating equipment, or is prepared by adopting the preparation method of the perovskite solar cell.
The technical scheme of the invention is further described below in combination with specific implementation.
Example 1
The perovskite thin film layer is prepared by adopting the method in the prior art, so that the perovskite solar cell is prepared. And coating 1mol/L of MAPbI 3 perovskite solution on the substrate of the PTAA electron/hole transport layer in a slit coating mode, wherein the dilution solvents contained in the perovskite solution are DMF and DMSO, the volume ratio of DMF to DMSO is 9:1, and then heating and drying the coated substrate to obtain the substrate containing the perovskite film layer.
Wherein, slit coating conditions: the amount of the coating solution was 0.7ul/cm 2 at 25℃and 30% RH, the slit width was 100um, and the coating speed was 5cm/s. Drying conditions after coating: and (3) carrying out hot air drying, wherein the air speed near the surface of the substrate is 2m/s, the temperature near the surface of the substrate is 60 ℃, and annealing the substrate containing the MAPbI 3 film at 100 ℃ for 10min after coating.
Referring to fig. 4, there are many white holes in the perovskite thin film layer, because the hydrophilic MAPbI 3 solution is difficult to infiltrate the surface of the lipophilic PTAA electron/hole transport layer when the MAPbI 3 solution is applied, and the cohesion of the MAPbI 3 solution is greater than the adhesion to the surface of the contact portion of the PTAA electron/hole transport layer, resulting in a tendency of the MAPbI 3 solution to "shrink", thereby causing many holes.
Example two
If a layer of surfactant solution is applied before the perovskite solution is applied, and a layer of surfactant solution is applied after the perovskite solution is applied, a schematic cross-sectional view of the perovskite thin film layer after the perovskite thin film layer is applied is obtained as shown in FIG. 5. The conductive layer 11 and the electron/hole transport layer 12-2 are sequentially prepared on a substrate, a perovskite solution 16 containing a surfactant is coated on the electron/hole transport layer 12-2, and the surface active agent 17 is respectively arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the perovskite solution 16. In the figure, small dots of the surfactant 17 are hydrophilic groups and curves are lipophilic groups. Hydrophilic groups are distributed on the side near the perovskite solution 16, while lipophilic groups are distributed on the lipophilic electron/hole transport layer 12-2 and the air side of the perovskite solution 16. The addition of the surfactant 17 effectively improves the wettability of the perovskite solution 16 to the lipophilic electron/hole transport layer 12-2, improves the flatness of the surface of the perovskite solution in contact with air, and improves the coverage rate of the perovskite film to the electron/hole transport layer 12-2 and the uniformity of film thickness.
An embodiment of preparing a perovskite thin film layer using the perovskite solution and surfactant step-coating apparatus of the present invention comprises the steps of:
Firstly, preparing a perovskite solution of 1mol/L MAPbI 3 by taking DMF (N, N-dimethylformamide) as a solvent; DMF (N, N-dimethylformamide) is prepared as a solvent, and is mixed with SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) surfactant solution with mass fraction of 10% of MAPbI 3 perovskite solution.
Next, SDS surfactant solution and MAPbI 3 perovskite solution were separately filled into two feed bottles.
Then, a layer of SDS surfactant solution is coated on the PTAA electron/hole transport layer substrate in a slit mode by using the perovskite solution and surfactant step-by-step coating equipment, after the PTAA electron/hole transport layer substrate is dried to form a film, a layer of MAPbI 3 perovskite solution is coated, and after the MAPbI 3 perovskite solution is in a semi-solidification semi-flow state, a layer of SDS surfactant solution is coated in a slit mode.
Wherein, the conditions of slot coating of SDS surfactant solution: the coating liquid amount was 0.4ul/cm 2, the slit width was 100um, the coating speed was 5cm/s, the coating temperature was 70℃and the coating was performed under hot air (the wind speed near the surface of the substrate coated with hot air was 2m/s, and the temperature near the surface of the substrate was 60 ℃) at 25℃and 30% RH.
Wherein, slit coating conditions of MAPbI 3 perovskite solution: the coating liquid amount was 0.7ul/cm 2, the slit width was 100um, the coating speed was 5cm/s, the coating temperature was 130℃and the coating was performed under hot air (the wind speed near the surface of the substrate coated with hot air was 2m/s, and the temperature near the surface of the substrate was 60 ℃) at 25℃and 30% RH.
Then, the coated substrate was post-treated with a post-treatment device to obtain a substrate containing a perovskite thin film layer. Wherein, post-treatment conditions: the substrate coated with the MAPbI 3 film was annealed at 100℃under 10 3 Pa and in a dry air atmosphere for 10min.
As shown in fig. 6, it is clear from the figure that, compared with the first embodiment, the defects such as shrinkage cavity are eliminated, the coverage rate of the perovskite thin film layer of the present embodiment on the substrate of the lipophilic PTAA electron/hole transport layer is greatly improved, and the outer surface of the perovskite thin film layer is smoother.
Referring to fig. 7, an efficiency chart of perovskite solar cell is shown after perovskite thin film layers of example one and example two are completely prepared in the same manner. The structure of the prepared perovskite solar cell is as follows: the test effective cell area was 1cm 2 for ITO/hole transport layer/perovskite layer/C 60/BCP/Cu. The test gave the battery efficiencies of example one and example two as follows: 6.5 percent and 17.3 percent.
As can be seen from fig. 7, the perovskite thin film of the first embodiment has a large number of shrinkage cavities, which results in low coverage of the perovskite layer on the electron/hole transport layer substrate, resulting in poor short circuit current density JSC and fill factor FF of the battery. The existence of the holes may also cause leakage of the battery, resulting in poor open circuit voltage VOC.
Compared with the first embodiment, after the surfactant is added in the second embodiment, the coverage rate of the perovskite film on the electron/hole transport layer substrate is obviously and greatly improved, so that the battery efficiency is also greatly improved.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the invention.
