In addition, the time during which the anodic oxidation is performed may be preferably 3 to 40 minutes, more preferably 3 to 20 minutes, even more preferably 4 to 6 minutes.

The condition for the anodic oxidation is to effectively oxidize the titanium layer having a thin thickness to uniformly form the titanium dioxide layer of the nanostructure, and the time condition of the anodic oxidation may be varied depending on the voltage condition. The titanium dioxide layer formed by the anodic oxidation may be amorphous titanium dioxide.

When the anodic oxidation is completed, the laminate including the electrode and the titanium dioxide layer can be washed with alcohol.

Next, the titanium dioxide layer is heat-treated to form a titanium dioxide electron transport layer (step c).

The heat treatment may preferably be performed at 400 to 600 占 폚, more preferably at 400 to 470 占 폚, and still more preferably at 400 to 500 占 폚.

By the heat treatment, the amorphous titanium dioxide can be crystallized to form an anatase crystal. Thus, the light transmittance can be further improved.

Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing the perovskite solar cell of the present invention will be described.

The perovskite solar cell of the present invention may include the above-described method of manufacturing the electrode laminate of the present invention. The production method of the specific perovskite solar cell is as follows.

First, a crystallized titanium dioxide layer is formed on the electrode to produce an electrode laminate.

The manufacturing method of the electrode laminate is the same as the manufacturing method of the electrode laminate including the above-mentioned steps (a) to (c), so that details thereof will be referred to.

Aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) may be coated on the titanium dioxide electron transfer layer of the electrode stacked body. The aluminum oxide may serve as a supporting layer for allowing the perovskite layer to be uniformly deposited on the electron transporting layer.

A perovskite precursor is then coated on the electron transport layer (step d).

The perovskite precursor may be a compound represented by the following general formula (1).

[Chemical Formula 1]

ABX 3

In formula (1)

A is any one of Pb, Sn, Ti, Nb, Zr, and Ce,

B is an alkyl group substituted C1 to C30 alkyl group,

X is a halogen element.

Various methods such as spin coating, screen printing, and spray coating can be used for the coating, but it is more preferable to use a spin coating method.

Thereafter, the perovskite precursor is heat-treated to form a perovskite light absorbing layer (step e).

By the heat treatment, the perovskite precursor crystallizes and a light absorption layer having a perovskite structure can be formed.

The heat treatment is preferably performed at a temperature of preferably 80 to 150 ° C, more preferably 85 to 130 ° C, and still more preferably 90 to 120 ° C.

Finally, a conductive electrode material is coated on the conductive layer to form a counter electrode (step g).

The conductive electrode material may be Pt, Au, Ni, Cu, Ag, In, Ru, Pd, Rh, Ir, Os, C or a conductive polymer.

Hereinafter, reference will be made to a perovskite solar cell manufactured by using the method of manufacturing an electrode laminate using anodic oxidation of the present invention and a charge collection of a perovskite solar cell manufactured by a conventional spin coating method, And recombination.

FIG. 2 is a graph showing the relationship between charge collection and recombination phenomena in different electron transport layers of a perovskite solar cell according to the present invention and a perovskite solar cell having an electron transport layer formed using a conventional spin coating method Fig. Here, the electrode is exemplified as FTO, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

2, in the perovskite solar cell of the present invention, it can be seen that the electron transport layer is uniformly formed on the FTO substrate, and the area of the electron transport layer / perovskite layer interface is wide. In contrast, in the conventional perovskite solar cell, the surface of the electron transport layer is formed flat on the FTO substrate and can not be formed in a uniform thickness, and pinholes may be formed, / Perovskite layer interface area is relatively narrow.

Therefore, when the perovskite solar cell is manufactured by the manufacturing method of the present invention, the interface characteristics between the electron transporting layer and the perovskite layer are improved, so that the charge collection and recombination efficiency can be significantly improved. As a result, The light conversion efficiency can be improved.

[Test Example]

Test Example 1: HR-SEM image analysis

4 shows HR-SEM images of the surface and cross-section of the titanium dioxide electron transport layer prepared according to Example 1, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 of the present invention.

According to FIG. 4, it can be seen that the titanium dioxide electron transport layer of Example 1 appeared roughly like the surface of the FTO substrate, and it was judged that the titanium dioxide electron transport layer was formed to have a substantially uniform thickness according to the roughness of the surface of the FTO substrate . On the other hand, the titanium dioxide electron transport layer of Comparative Example 1 showed a smooth surface as compared to Example 1, and it was found that the titanium dioxide electron transport layer was formed with a non-uniform thickness on the surface of the FTO substrate. In addition, in the case of Comparative Example 2, it was found that the electron transport layer was formed in the form of nanotubes. The thickness of the electron transport layer was found to be significantly thicker than that of Example 1. Therefore, when the electron transport layer is formed by the method of Comparative Example 2, it can be applied to a conventional dye-sensitized solar cell, but it is difficult to apply it to a nano-level perovskite solar cell.

Test Example 2: Transmission Analysis

Fig. 5 shows the transmittances of the FTO substrates of Examples 1 to 4, Comparative Example 1 and before the formation of the electron transport layer. Specifically, FIG. 5A compares the transmittances of Example 1, Comparative Example 1 and FTO substrate, and FIG. 5B compares the transmittances according to the thickness of the TiO 2 electron transport layer.

5 (a), the transmittance of the laminate of Example 1 was higher than that of Comparative Example 1, and it was found to be almost the same level as that of the FTO substrate. This result is considered to be because the electron transporting layer of Example 1 has a uniform thickness.

Further, according to Fig. 5 (b), the transmittance of the laminate was lower as the thickness of the titanium dioxide was larger in Examples 1 to 3. Therefore, it is most preferable to form an electron transport layer of about 40 nm in order to maintain the transmittance at a high level.

Test Example 3: Efficiency analysis of perovskite solar cell

6 shows the results of the analysis of the efficiency of the perovskite solar cell according to the device example 1 and the device comparative example 1. Fig.

Specifically, FIG. 6A shows the photovoltaic-light voltage (JV) characteristics of the perovskite solar cell according to the device example 1 and the device comparative example 1, wherein the intensity of light was measured at AM 1.5 . 6 (b) shows the incident photon-to-current efficiency (IPCE). The cell size used for the measurement was 0.09 cm < 2 > and the measurement direction was observed while changing from 1.2 V to 0 V. [

6 (a), the photovoltaic-light voltage (J-V) characteristic of the perovskite solar cell of the device example 1 was superior to that of the device comparative example 1. The power conversion efficiency (η) of the comparative example 1 was 10.5% and that of the comparative example 1 was 13.6%.

6B, the perovskite solar cell of the device example 1 is superior to the device comparative example 1 in IPCE.

Therefore, the perovskite solar cell using the titanium dioxide electron transport layer formation method using the anodic oxidation method of the present invention is considered to have superior energy conversion efficiency as compared with the conventional method of forming the titanium dioxide electron transport layer by the spin coating method do.

Test Example 4: Efficiency analysis of perovskite solar cell according to thickness of electron transport layer

FIG. 7 shows the photocurrent-light voltage (J-V) characteristics of the perovskite solar cell according to the device embodiments 1 to 4. Where the intensity of light was measured at AM 1.5. The results of FIG. 7 are summarized in Table 2 below.

division TiO 2 layer thickness (nm) V OC (V) J SC (mA / cm 2 ) FF (%) 侶 (%) Device Embodiment 1 40 0.91 22.7 65.8 13.6 Device Example 2 60 0.86 22.3 60.7 11.6 Device Embodiment 3 80 0.80 22.3 49.3 8.8 Device Example 4 20 0.91 22.6 56.8 11.7

According to Fig. 7 and Table 2, the efficiency of the device example 1 having the electron transporting layer with a thickness of 40 nm is the most excellent in J SC = 22.7 mA / cm 2 , V OC = 0.91 V, FF = 65.8% and eta = 13.6% Respectively.

It can be judged that the electron transport layer is inefficient in extracting electrons, similar to the problem of comparative element example 1, which is low in efficiency of the thick solar cell (element embodiment 3).

Test Example  5: Adjustment of voltage and time of anodic oxidation Electron transport layer  And Perovskite  Characteristics of Solar Cell

Figure 8 shows a surface HR-SEM image of a titanium dioxide electron transport layer formed according to Examples 8-12.

According to FIG. 8, the surface voltage was changed from 3 V to 10 V in the formation of the titanium dioxide electron transport layer. At this time, in the case of Example 6 in which the anodic oxidation was performed at a voltage of 4 V, the electron transport layer was most uniformly formed on the FTO substrate, and a coral shape was formed. In addition, it was found that the electron transport layer starts to become nonuniform when it is higher than 10V. Therefore, it is found that it is most preferable to carry out the anodic oxidation under the conditions of the voltage of about 4 to 5 V, that is, the conditions of Example 1 and Example 6 of the present invention, in order to form a uniform titanium dioxide electron transport layer have.

9 shows photocurrent-light voltage (J-V) characteristics of the perovskite solar cell manufactured according to the device embodiments 1, 6, and 8. Where the intensity of light was measured at AM 1.5. The results of FIG. 8 are summarized in Table 3 below.

division Voltage (V) V OC (V) J SC (mA / cm 2 ) FF (%) 侶 (%) Device Embodiment 1 5 0.94 22.7 65.5 13.5 Device Example 6 4 1.03 21.5 61.6 13.4 Device Example 8 10 0.91 17.5 59.1 9.5

According to FIG. 9 and Table 3, it can be seen that an appropriate anodizing voltage is a factor determining the efficiency of the perovskite solar cell. The shape of the titanium dioxide was changed according to the voltage condition of anodization as shown.

However, when the anodization is performed under the condition that the voltage is lower than 3V, the titanium dioxide is not formed well, and the surface of the FTO substrate is exposed at a too high voltage.

Therefore, it is considered that anodization at a voltage of about 5 V is the most suitable method for improving the efficiency of a perovskite solar cell in order to form a titanium dioxide electron transport layer.

The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the detailed description and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents are to be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention do.
