Definitions
- the present application relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a perovskite solar cell and a manufacturing method thereof, and a stacked solar cell.
- Perovskite solar cells belong to the third generation of solar cells, also known as new concept solar cells. Because the perovskite materials they use have a series of advantages such as high absorption coefficient, high carrier mobility, large diffusion length, and adjustable band gap, they have received widespread attention in the field of solar cells.
- the material of the electron transport layer included in the existing perovskite solar cell is tin oxide (chemical formula SnO 2 , also known as tin dioxide), resulting in poor electron transport capability of the electron transport layer, which is not conducive to improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell.
- the purpose of the present application is to provide a perovskite solar cell and a method for manufacturing the same, and a stacked solar cell, which are used to enhance the electron transport capability of an electron transport layer, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell including the electron transport layer.
- the present application provides a perovskite solar cell, which comprises: a light absorption layer, a hole transport layer and an electron transport layer.
- the hole transport layer is formed on one side of the light absorption layer.
- the electron transport layer is formed on the side of the light absorption layer away from the hole transport layer.
- the material of the electron transport layer comprises tin oxide and tin oxide.
- the stoichiometric ratio of tin element and oxygen element in the tin oxide is greater than 1:2 and less than or equal to 1:1.
- the perovskite solar cell provided in the present application includes a light absorption layer, and a hole transport layer and an electron transport layer respectively formed on two opposite sides of the light absorption layer. Based on this, in the actual working process, the light absorption layer will generate electron and hole pairs after absorbing photons. Among them, the holes that have not been recombined move in the direction close to the hole transport layer and are conducted to the corresponding electrode via the hole transport layer. The electrons that have not been recombined move in the direction close to the electron transport layer and are conducted to the corresponding electrode via the electron transport layer, thereby forming a photocurrent.
- the materials of the above-mentioned electron transport layer include tin oxide and tin oxide. Because the valence of tin in tin oxide is +4 and the valence of oxygen is -2, the stoichiometric ratio of tin element and oxygen element in tin oxide is 1:2. In addition, the stoichiometric ratio of tin element and oxygen element in the above-mentioned tin oxide is greater than 1:2, and is less than or equal to 1:1. It can be understood that the proportion of oxygen element in the above-mentioned tin oxide is lower than the proportion of oxygen element in tin oxide.
- the material of the electron transport layer included in the perovskite solar cell provided in the present application includes not only tin oxide, but also the above-mentioned tin oxide.
- the Sn/O ratio in the electron transport layer in the present application can be increased, thereby increasing the oxygen vacancy concentration in the electron transport layer.
- the conductive principle of the above-mentioned electron transport layer is that the outer electrons of the tin element form chemical bonds with the outer electrons of the oxygen element, when there is a lack of oxygen in the electron transport layer, the outer electrons of the tin element form free electrons to achieve conductivity.
- the oxygen vacancy concentration in the electron transport layer included in the perovskite solar cell provided by the present application increases, the more free electrons are formed in the electron transport layer, thereby improving the electron transport capacity of the electron transport layer, accelerating the separation of electrons and holes at the interface where the light absorption layer and the electron transport layer are in contact, reducing the interface recombination loss of electrons, and thus helping to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell.
- the tin oxide includes stannous oxide (chemical formula: SnO).
- the valence of tin in stannous oxide is +2 and the valence of oxygen is -2. Based on this, in the case where tin oxide includes stannous oxide, it is possible to dope Sn 2+ in tin oxide, thereby producing a mixed valence electron transport layer, which is beneficial to increase the concentration of oxygen vacancies in the electron transport layer.

- the stoichiometric ratio of tin oxide to stannous oxide in the electron transport layer is as follows: The range is: 5:1 to 50:1.
- the greater the ratio of the stoichiometric ratio of tin oxide and stannous oxide in the electron transport layer the higher the content of tin oxide in the electron transport layer, and the lower the content of stannous oxide therein.
- the concentration of oxygen vacancies in the electron transport layer is smaller.
- the smaller the ratio of the stoichiometric ratio of tin oxide and stannous oxide in the electron transport layer the greater the concentration of oxygen vacancies in the electron transport layer.
- the stoichiometric ratio of tin oxide and stannous oxide in the electron transport layer ranges from 5:1 to 50:1
- the stoichiometric ratio of tin oxide and stannous oxide in the electron transport layer is moderate, which can prevent the oxygen vacancy concentration in the electron transport layer from being low due to the large stoichiometric ratio, and ensure that the electron transport layer has appropriate electron transport capacity.
- it can also prevent the electron transport layer from becoming a P-type oxide semiconductor layer due to the small stoichiometric ratio, which causes the electrons generated in the light absorption layer to increase the recombination rate in the electron transport layer, ensuring that the perovskite solar cell has a high photoelectric conversion efficiency.

Description
本申请要求在2022年9月28日提交中国专利局、申请号为202211194077.8、名称为“一种钙钛矿太阳能电池及其制造方法、叠层太阳能电池”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
本申请涉及太阳能电池技术领域,尤其涉及一种钙钛矿太阳能电池及其制造方法、叠层太阳能电池。
钙钛矿太阳能电池属于第三代太阳能电池,也称作新概念太阳能电池。因为其采用的钙钛矿材料具有吸光系数高、载流子迁移率高和扩散长度大、带隙可调节等一系列优点,故在太阳能电池领域受到了广泛的关注。
但是,现有的钙钛矿太阳能电池包括的电子传输层的材料为氧化锡(化学式为SnO2,也可以称为二氧化锡),导致电子传输层具有的电子传输能力不佳,不利于提高钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电转换效率。
发明内容
本申请的目的在于提供一种钙钛矿太阳能电池及其制造方法、叠层太阳能电池,用于增强电子传输层具有的电子传输能力,利于提升包括该电子传输层的钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电转换效率。
第一方面,本申请提供了一种钙钛矿太阳能电池,该钙钛矿太阳能电池包括:光吸收层、空穴传输层和电子传输层。上述空穴传输层形成在光吸收层的一侧。电子传输层形成在光吸收层背离空穴传输层的一侧。电子传输层的材料包括氧化锡和锡氧化物。该锡氧化物内锡元素和氧元素的化学计量比大于1:2,且小于等于1:1。
采用上述技术方案的情况下,本申请提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池包括光吸收层、以及分别形成在光吸收层具有的相对两侧的空穴传输层和电子传输层。
基于此,在实际的工作过程中,光吸收层吸收光子后会产生电子和空穴对。其中,未发生复合的空穴沿着靠近空穴传输层的方向运动,并经由空穴传输层传导至相应电极。未发生复合的电子沿着靠近电子传输层的方向运动,并经由电子传输层传导至相应电极,从而形成光电流。其中,上述电子传输层的材料包括氧化锡和锡氧化物。因氧化锡中锡的化合价为+4价、氧的化合价为-2价,故氧化锡中锡元素和氧元素的化学计量比为1:2。另外,上述锡氧化物内锡元素和氧元素的化学计量比大于1:2,且小于等于1:1。可以理解的是,上述锡氧化物中氧元素的比例低于氧化锡中氧元素的比例,因此与现有技术中单纯采用氧化锡材料制成的电子传输层相比,在本申请提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池包括的电子传输层的材料不仅包括氧化锡,还包括上述锡氧化物的情况下,可以使得本申请中的电子传输层内Sn/O比例增大,从而增加了电子传输层内的氧空位浓度。基于此,因上述电子传输层的导电原理是锡元素的外层电子与氧元素的外层电子形成化学键,当电子传输层中缺少氧的时候,锡元素的外层电子就形成了自由电子,实现导电。在上述情况下,当本申请提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池包括的电子传输层内的氧空位浓度增大时,电子传输层内形成的自由电子越多,从而可以提高电子传输层具有的电子传输能力,加速了电子和空穴对在光吸收层和电子传输层相接触的界面分离,降低了电子的界面复合损耗,进而利于提升钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电转换效率。
作为一种可能的实现方式,上述锡氧化物包括氧化亚锡(化学式为SnO)。
采用上述技术方案的情况下,氧化亚锡内锡的化合价为+2价、氧的化合价为-2价。基于此,在锡氧化物包括氧化亚锡的情况下,可以实现在氧化锡中掺杂Sn2+,从而制造出混合价态的电子传输层,利于增加电子传输层内氧空位的浓度。并且,与锡氧化物包括锡和氧的化学计量比的数值包括小数相比,氧化亚锡中锡元素的比例和氧元素的比例相同,便于对制造氧化亚锡的锡源和氧源的比例进行调整,降低锡氧化物的制造难度。另外,氧化亚锡在常温常压下的化学性质较为稳定,可以提高包括该电子传输层的钙钛矿太阳能电池的工作稳定性。
在一种示例中,上述电子传输层内氧化锡和氧化亚锡的化学计量比的范
围为:5:1至50:1。
采用上述技术方案的情况下,可以理解的是,电子传输层内氧化锡和氧化亚锡的化学计量比的比值越大,电子传输层内氧化锡的含量越高,其内的氧化亚锡的含量越低。相应的,电子传输层内的氧空位的浓度越小。相反的,电子传输层内氧化锡和氧化亚锡的化学计量比的比值越小,电子传输层内氧空位的浓度越大。在上述情况下,当电子传输层内氧化锡和氧化亚锡的化学计量比的范围为5:1至50:1时,电子传输层内氧化锡和氧化亚锡的化学计量比值大小适中,可以防止因上述化学计量比值较大而导致电子传输层内的氧空位浓度较低,确保电子传输层具有适当的电子传输能力。同时,还可以防止因上述化学计量比值较小使得电子传输层成为P型氧化物半导体层而导致光吸收层产生的电子在电子传输层内的复合速率增大,确保钙钛矿太阳能电池具有较高的光电转换效率。
作为一种可能的实现方式,沿着光吸收层的厚度方向,上述电子传输层包括交替层叠的第一含锡氧化物层和第二含锡氧化物层。第一含锡氧化物层的材料为氧化锡。第二含锡氧化物层的材料为锡氧化物。
采用上述技术方案的情况下,与材料为氧化锡的第一含锡氧化物层相比,材料为锡氧化物的第二含锡氧化物层内具有较高浓度的氧空位,因此相比于第一含锡氧化物层,第二含锡氧化物层的电子传输能力更高。基于此,沿着光吸收层的厚度方向,材料为氧化锡的第一含锡氧化物层与材料为锡氧化物的第二含锡氧化物层交替层叠设置,利于使得电子传输层内的氧空位可以沿着垂直于电子传输层的厚度方向均匀分布,进而利于使得电子传输层沿垂直于其厚度的方向的各部分具有的电子传输能力大致相同,防止电子传输层沿垂直于厚度方向的各部分对电子的传输速率不一致现象的发生,确保光吸收层沿垂直于厚度方向的各部分产生的电子均能够被电子传输层有效传输,进一步提高钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电转换效率。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,上述电子传输层为氧化锡和锡氧化物混合而成的混合材料层。此时,利于使得电子传输层沿厚度方向的各部分具有的电子传输能力大致相同,防止电子传输层沿厚度方向的各部分对电子的传输速率不一致现象的发生,降低光吸收层产生的电子在电子传输层内与氧空位
发生复合的速率,进一步提高钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电转换效率。另外,还可以为氧化锡和锡氧化物在电子传输层内的分布提供了更多的实现方案,提高了本申请提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池在不同应用场景下的适用性。
作为一种可能的实现方式,上述电子传输层的厚度为10nm至200nm。此时,电子传输层的厚度范围较大,可以在确保将光吸收层产生、且未发生复合的电子传导至相应电极的前提下,可以降低为制造固定厚度的电子传输层而严格控制电子传输层的形成时间等形成条件,降低电子传输层的制造难度。
第二方面,本申请还提供了一种叠层太阳能电池。该叠层太阳能电池包括底电池、以及位于底电池上的顶电池。顶电池为上述第一方面及其各种实现方式提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池。
本申请中第二方面及其各种实现方式的有益效果,可以参考第一方面及其各种实现方式中的有益效果分析,此处不再赘述。
第三方面,本申请还提供了一种钙钛矿太阳能电池的制造方法,该钙钛矿太阳能电池的制造方法包括:
提供一基底。
在基底上依次形成空穴传输层、光吸收层和电子传输层。或,在基底上依次形成电子传输层、光吸收层和空穴传输层。其中,
电子传输层的材料包括氧化锡和锡氧化物。锡氧化物内锡元素和氧元素的化学计量比大于1:2,且小于等于1:1。
本申请中第三方面具有的有益效果,可以参考第一方面及其各种实现方式中的有益效果分析,此处不再赘述。
作为一种可能的实现方式,形成电子传输层包括以下步骤:
向反应腔室内X次交替通入锡源和第一氧源。X为大于或等于1的正整数。锡源内锡的化合价为+2价。第一氧源包括水和醇中的至少一种。
向反应腔室内Y次交替通入上述锡源和第二氧源。Y为大于或等于1的正整数。第二氧源包括氧气、臭氧和双氧水中的至少一种。
循环Z次上述操作,直至形成具有目标厚度的电子传输层。Z为大于或等于1的正整数。
采用上述技术方案的情况下,向反应腔室内X次交替通入上述锡源和第一氧源,可以形成一层具有一定厚度的含锡的氧化物层。另外,向反应腔室内Y次交替通入上述锡源和第二氧源,可以在其上形成另一层含锡的氧化物层。可以理解的是,因这两次操作中的锡源为+2价锡源、且第一氧源和第二氧源的氧化性不同,同时第一氧源与+2价锡源反应可以形成氧化亚锡,第二氧源可以将+2价锡氧化为更高的+4价锡等,故上述两层含锡的氧化物层的材料不同。基于此,在循环Z此上述操作后,可以获得由上述两层含锡的氧化层交替层叠Z次设置的电子传输层。其中,该情况下具有的有益效果可以参考前文所述的电子传输层包括交替层叠设置的第一含锡氧化物层和第二含锡氧化物层的有益效果分析,此处不再赘述。
作为一种可能的实现方式,形成电子传输层包括步骤:向反应腔室内交替通入锡源、以及由第一氧源和第二氧源组成的混合物,直至形成具有目标厚度的电子传输层;其中,锡源内锡的化合价为+2价。第一氧源包括水和醇中的至少一种。第二氧源包括氧气、臭氧和双氧水中的至少一种。
采用上述技术方案的情况下,以先向反应腔室内通入锡源为例对电子传输层包括的其中一子层的形成过程进行说明:向反应腔室内通入+2价的锡源后,向该反应腔室内通入了第一氧源和第二氧源的混合物。此时,因第一氧源的氧化性较弱、且第二氧源的氧化性较强,故如前文所述,+2价的锡源与氧化性不同的第一氧源和第二氧源所形成的每一子层的材料不仅包括氧化锡,还包括锡氧化物。基于此,通过该方式形成的电子传输层为氧化锡和锡氧化物混合而成的混合材料层。相应的,该情况下具有的有益效果可以参考前文所述的电子传输层为氧化锡和锡氧化物混合而成的混合材料层的有益效果分析,此处不再赘述。
作为一种可能的实现方式,形成电子传输层包括以下步骤:
向反应腔室内X次交替通入第一锡源和氧源。X为大于或等于1的正整数。第一锡源内锡的化合价为+2价。氧源包括水和醇中的至少一种。
向反应腔室内Y次交替通入第二锡源和上述氧源。Y为大于或等于1的正整数。第二锡源内锡的化合价为+4价。
循环Z次上述操作,直至形成具有目标厚度的电子传输层。Z为大于或
等于1的正整数。
采用上述技术方案的情况下,向反应腔室内X次交替通入上述第一锡源和氧源,可以形成一层具有一定厚度的含锡的氧化物层。另外,向反应腔室内Y次交替通入上述第二锡源和氧源,可以在其上形成另一层含锡的氧化物层。可以理解的是,因这两次操作中的氧源为氧化性较弱的氧源、且第一锡源和第二锡源内锡的化合价不同,同时在不采用等离子体等方式辅助反应的情况下第一锡源和第二锡源与氧化性较弱的氧源反应所获得的材料内锡的化合价基本不变,故上述两层含锡的氧化物层的材料不同。基于此,在循环Z此上述操作后,可以获得由上述两层含锡的氧化层交替层叠Z次设置的电子传输层。其中,该情况下具有的有益效果可以参考前文所述的电子传输层包括交替层叠设置的第一含锡氧化物层和第二含锡氧化物层的有益效果分析,此处不再赘述。
示例性的,在上述两种情况下,1≤X≤10,30≤Y≤50。
采用上述技术方案的情况下,如前文所述,在第一种情况中,+2价锡源与第一氧源反应所形成的材料为氧化亚锡。而在+2价锡源与第二氧源反应所形成的材料中锡的化合价高于+2价、且小于等于+4价。另外,在第二种情况中,+2价第一锡源与氧化性较弱的氧源反应形成的材料为氧化亚锡。而+4价第二锡源与上述氧源反应所形成的材料中锡的化合价高于+2价、且小于等于+4价。基于此,上述材料中锡的化合价大于等于+2价、且小于+4价的一者为锡氧化物。因此当1≤X≤10,30≤Y≤50时,电子传输层内氧化锡和锡氧化物的化学计量比的范围为5:1至50:1,该情况下具有的有益效果可以参考前文所述的电子传输层内氧化锡和氧化亚锡的化学计量比的范围为5:1至50:1具有的有益效果分析,此处不再赘述。相应的,当第一氧源为氧化性较强的氧源、且第二氧源为氧化性较弱的氧源时,1≤X≤10、且30≤Y≤50对应的有益效果与上述有益效果相同,此处不再赘述。
作为一种可能的实现方式,形成电子传输层包括步骤:向反应腔室内交替通入由第一锡源和第二锡源组成的混合物、以及氧源,直至形成具有目标厚度的电子传输层。其中,第一锡源内锡的化合价为+2价。第二锡源内锡的化合价为+4价。氧源包括水和醇中的至少一种。该情况下具有的有益效
果可以参考前文所述的向反应腔室内交替通入锡源、以及由第一氧源和第二氧源组成的混合物的有益效果分析,此处不再赘述。
作为一种可能的实现方式,形成电子传输层包括步骤:向反应腔室内Z次交替通入锡源和氧源,直至形成具有目标厚度的电子传输层。其中,在X次交替通入过程中,向反应腔室内通入锡源的同时进行等离子体放电。Z为大于1的正整数。X为小于Z、且大于等于1的正整数。其中,锡源中内锡的化合价为+2价。氧源包括水和醇中的至少一种。
采用上述技术方案的情况下,在向反应腔室内通入+2价锡源的同时进行等离子体放电,可以通过等离子体的引入,产生大量活性自由基,增强了+2价锡源的反应活性。此时,即使再向反应腔室内通入氧化性较弱的氧源,也可以将+2价锡源中的锡氧化为具有更高价态的锡,从而可以使得一次交替后所形成的子层的材料包括氧化锡等锡的化合价大于+2价、且小于等于+4价的含锡的氧化物。而在反应腔室内通入锡源时不进行等离子放电的情况,再向反应腔室内通入氧化性较弱的氧源,可以形成氧化亚锡,从而制造出材料包括锡混合价态的电子传输层,为形成电子传输层提供了更多的实现方案,提高了本申请提供的制造方法在不同应用场景下的适用性。
作为一种可能的实现方式,向反应腔室内通入锡源前,钙钛矿太阳能电池的制造方法还包括:采用保护气体吹扫反应腔室。在此情况下,可以将反应腔室内多余的氧源吹扫至反应腔室外,确保一次交替反应中锡源和氧源的比例满足预设方案的要求,提高制造精度。同时,还可以在第一次交替后,将反应腔室内多余的反应副产物吹扫至反应腔室外,防止反应副产物影响所制造的电子传输层的成膜质量,进一步提高电子传输层具有的电子传输能力。
作为一种可能的实现方式,向反应腔室内通入氧源前,钙钛矿太阳能电池的制造方法还包括:采用保护气体吹扫反应腔室。在此情况下,可以将反应腔室内多余的锡源吹扫至反应腔室外,确保一次交替反应中锡源和氧源的比例满足预设方案的要求,提高制造精度。同时,还可以在第一次交替后,将反应腔室内多余的反应副产物吹扫至反应腔室外,防止反应副产物影响所制造的电子传输层的成膜质量,进一步提高电子传输层具有的电子传输能力。
作为一种可能的实现方式,形成电子传输层的反应温度为50℃至250℃。
在此情况下,形成电子传输层的反应温度大小适中,防止因反应温度较小而导致锡源和氧源反应不完全影响电子传输层的形成质量,还可以防止因反应温度较低使得反应速率较小而导致电子传输层的制造效率较低,提高钙钛矿太阳能电池的良率和速率。此外,还可以防止因反应温度较大而导致电子传输层与光吸收层之间的兼容性变差,确保上述电子传输层在钙钛矿太阳能电池中具有较高的可应用性。

钙钛矿太阳能电池属于第三代太阳能电池,也称作新概念太阳能电池。因为其采用的钙钛矿材料具有吸光系数高、载流子迁移率高和扩散长度大、带隙可调节等一系列优点,故在太阳能电池领域受到了广泛的关注。目前,钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电转换效率已经突破25.5%,已与成熟的薄膜太阳能电池性能相当。更重要的是,钙钛矿太阳能电池还可以进行低温处理,这就使得它在需要解决可拉伸问题的下一代低成本光伏工艺中,具有很大的竞争优势。并且,可低温加工性也使得钙钛矿太阳能电池与柔性可穿戴电子设备兼容。
有效的钙钛矿太阳能电池结构一般包括空穴传输层、光吸收层、电子传输层、透明导电层和电极。其中,光吸收层的材料为钙钛矿材料。另外,从载流子的角度看,上述电子传输层和空穴传输层分别选择性地将电子和空穴传输到透明导电层或电极上。基于此,在实际的应用过程中,钙钛矿太阳能电池接受太阳光照射时,光吸收层首先吸收光子产生电子-空穴对。其中,未复合的电子和空穴分别被电子传输层和空穴传输层收集,即电子从光吸收层传输到电子传输层,最后被电极收集。而空穴从光吸收层传输到空穴传输层,最后被电极收集,产生光电流。
具体的,上述电子传输层的材料、以及电子传输层的制造方式一直以来都是钙钛矿太阳能电池的研究热点。现有的电子传输层的材料通常为TiO2和SnO2。其中,致密的介孔TiO2电子传输层能够有效的提取电子,使其受到了绝大数多研究者的青睐。但是,致密的介孔TiO2电子传输层的制造温度超过400℃,使得其难以与具有低温加工特性的钙钛矿太阳能电池所兼容。并且致密的介孔TiO2电子传输层具有光催化特性,降低了光吸收层对光的利用率,进而限制了其在钙钛矿太阳能电池上的应用。而对于上述SnO2来说,SnO2的电子迁移率高、其制造温度低于180℃、且其对应的-4.0eV的导带底能够与钙钛矿材料的光吸收层实现能级匹配,使得其成为了最具潜力的
备选电子传输材料。但是,SnO2材料制造形成的电子传输层具有的电子传输能力不佳,不利于提升钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电转换效率。
为了解决上述技术问题,本申请实施例提供了一种钙钛矿太阳能电池。如图1所示,该钙钛矿太阳能电池包括:光吸收层11、空穴传输层12和电子传输层13。上述空穴传输层12形成在光吸收层11的一侧。电子传输层13形成在光吸收层11背离空穴传输层12的一侧。电子传输层13的材料包括氧化锡和锡氧化物。该锡氧化物内锡元素和氧元素的化学计量比大于1:2,且小于等于1:1。
具体来说,从材料方面来讲,在一些示例中,上述光吸收层的材料的分子通式为ABX3。其中,A、B为大小不同的阳离子,X是与两者键合的阴离子。并且,阳离子B与阴离子X配位组成正八面体对称结构,而阳离子A位于八个正八面体的中心位置,阳离子B位于正八面体的中心位置。具体的,光吸收层的材料可以为无机钙钛矿材料,也可以为有机钙钛矿材料,还可以为有机-无机杂化钙钛矿材料。例如:光吸收层的材料可以为CsPbI2Br、MAPbBr3、FAPbI3或Cs1-y-zFAyMAzPbI3-xBrx(其中,FA为甲醚,MA为甲胺,0≤x≤3,0≤y≤1,0≤z≤1,且0≤y+z≤1)等。
从结构方面来讲,光吸收层的厚度可以根据实际需求进行设置,此处不做具体限定。此外,如图1所示,光吸收层11的两个相对的表面可以为平坦的抛光面。或者,光吸收层与受光面相对的一面为绒面,其与背光面相对的一面为抛光面。在此情况下,绒面结构具有陷光作用,因此当光吸收层的表面为绒面时,可以使得更多的光线折射至光吸收层内。并且,因抛光面具有相对良好的反射特性,因此在光线达到光吸收层与背光面相对的一面后可以至少部分被反射回光吸收层内,被光吸收层重新利用,从而可以提高钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电转换效率。又或者,如图2所示,光吸收层11的两个相对的表面也可以均为绒面。此时,如图6和图7所示,在将本申请实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池作为叠层太阳能电池包括的顶电池时,光吸收层11与底电池相接触的一面为绒面,可以使得更多的光线折射至底电池内,提高底电池的光电转换效率。
对于上述空穴传输层来说,空穴传输层的材料可以为有机空穴传输材料
(例如:2,2',7,7'-四[N,N-二(4-甲氧基苯基)氨基]-9,9'-螺二芴(可缩写为Sprio-OMeTAD)、2,2,7,7-四(N,N-二对甲苯基)氨基-9,9-螺二芴(可缩写为spiro-TTB)、三氟甘露糖(可缩写为TATM)、(2-(3,6-二甲氧基-9H-咔唑-9-基)乙基)膦(可缩写为MeO-2PACz)、[4-(3,6-二甲基-9H-咔唑-9-基)丁基]磷酸(可缩写为Me-4PACz)或(2-(9H-咔唑-9-基)乙基)膦酸(可缩写为2PACz)等),也可以为无机空穴传输材料(例如:氧化钼、氧化镍或氧化亚铜等)。空穴传输层的厚度可以根据实际应用场景设置,只要能够应用至本申请实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池中均可。
对于上述电子传输层来说,从规格方面来讲,电子传输层的厚度可以根据实际需求进行设置。示例性的,电子传输层的厚度可以为10nm至200nm。此时,电子传输层的厚度范围较大,可以在确保将光吸收层产生、且未发生复合的电子传导至相应电极的前提下,可以降低为制造固定厚度的电子传输层而严格控制电子传输层的形成时间等形成条件,降低电子传输层的制造难度。
从材料方面来讲,电子传输层的材料包括氧化锡和锡氧化物。其中,锡氧化物内锡元素和氧元素的具体化学计量比、电子传输层内氧化锡和锡氧化物的化学计量比、以及氧化锡和锡氧化物在电子传输层内的分布方式,可以根据实际需求进行设置,只要能够应用至本申请实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池中均可。
需要说明的是,如图3所示,本申请实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池可以为反式结构,即上述空穴传输层12、光吸收层11和电子传输层13自上而下依次层叠设置。或者,如图4所示,本申请实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池也可以为正式结构,即上述电子传输层13、光吸收层11和空穴传输层12自上而下依次层叠设置。
在一些情况下,如图1所示,本申请实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池还包括第一电极14和第一透明导电层15。其中,第一电极14形成在空穴传输层12背离光吸收层11的一侧,用于导出空穴传输层收集的空穴。第一透明导电层15形成在电子传输层13背离光吸收层11的一侧,用于导出电子传输层收集的电子。
具体的,上述第一电极的材料可以为铝、金、银、铜、钨等导电材料。上述第一透明导电层的材料可以为氧化铟锡、掺氟氧化锡、掺铟氧化锌、氧化铟钨、掺铝氧化锌或掺硼氧化锌中的任意一种或至少两种的组合。第一透明导电层的厚度可以根据实际需求进行设置,此处不做具体限定。
如图1所示,本申请实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池在实际的工作过程中,光吸收层11吸收光子后会产生电子和空穴对。其中,未发生复合的空穴沿着靠近空穴传输层12的方向运动,并经由空穴传输层12传导至相应电极。未发生复合的电子沿着靠近电子传输层13的方向运动,并经由电子传输层13传导至相应电极,从而形成光电流。在此情况下,上述电子传输层13的材料包括氧化锡和锡氧化物。因氧化锡中锡的化合价为+4价、氧的化合价为-2价,故氧化锡中锡元素和氧元素的化学计量比为1:2。另外,上述锡氧化物内锡元素和氧元素的化学计量比大于1:2,且小于等于1:1。可以理解的是,上述锡氧化物中氧元素的比例低于氧化锡中氧元素的比例,因此与现有技术中单纯采用氧化锡材料制成的电子传输层相比,在本申请实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池包括的电子传输层13的材料不仅包括氧化锡,还包括上述锡氧化物的情况下,可以使得本申请实施例中的电子传输层13内Sn/O比例增大,从而增加了电子传输层13内的氧空位浓度。基于此,因上述电子传输层13的导电原理是锡元素的外层电子与氧元素的外层电子形成化学键,当电子传输层13中缺少氧的时候,锡元素的外层电子就形成了自由电子,实现导电。在上述情况下,当本申请实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池包括的电子传输层13内的氧空位浓度增大时,电子传输层13内形成的自由电子越多,从而可以提高电子传输层13具有的电子传输能力,加速了电子和空穴对在光吸收层11和电子传输层13相接触的界面分离,降低了电子的界面复合损耗,进而利于提升钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电转换效率。
可以理解的是,上述锡氧化物的具体种类与锡氧化物内锡元素和氧元素的化学计量比的大小相关。其中,可以根据锡氧化物内锡元素和氧元素的具体化学计量比将锡氧化物的具体种类分为以下两种情况进行说明:
第一种:锡氧化物内锡元素和氧元素的化学计量比可以为1:1。此时,锡氧化物为氧化亚锡、且电子传输层的材料包括氧化锡和氧化亚锡。
第二种:锡氧化物内锡元素和氧元素的化学计量比可以为大于1:2,且小于1:1的小数。此时,锡氧化物内一部分锡的化合价可以为+4价,另一部分锡的化合价可以为+2价。例如:锡氧化物为四氧化三锡或六氧化五锡等。又例如:锡氧化物包括氧化亚锡和四氧化三锡。
值得注意的是,氧化亚锡内锡的化合价为+2价、氧的化合价为-2价。基于此,在锡氧化物包括氧化亚锡的情况下,可以实现在氧化锡中掺杂Sn2+,从而制造出混合价态的电子传输层,利于增加电子传输层内氧空位的浓度。并且,与锡氧化物包括锡和氧的化学计量比的数值包括小数相比,氧化亚锡中锡元素的比例和氧元素的比例相同,便于对制造氧化亚锡的锡源和氧源的比例进行调整,降低锡氧化物的制造难度。另外,氧化亚锡在常温常压下的化学性质较为稳定,可以提高包括该电子传输层的钙钛矿太阳能电池的工作稳定性。
具体的,在锡氧化物包括氧化亚锡的情况下,电子传输层内氧化锡和氧化亚锡的具体化学计量比,可以根据实际需求进行设置。例如:上述电子传输层内氧化锡和氧化亚锡的化学计量比的范围可以为:5:1至50:1。可以理解的是,电子传输层内氧化锡和氧化亚锡的化学计量比的比值越大,电子传输层内氧化锡的含量越高,其内的氧化亚锡的含量越低。相应的,电子传输层内的氧空位的浓度越小。相反的,电子传输层内氧化锡和氧化亚锡的化学计量比的比值越小,电子传输层内氧空位的浓度越大。在上述情况下,当电子传输层内氧化锡和氧化亚锡的化学计量比的范围为5:1至50:1时,电子传输层内氧化锡和氧化亚锡的化学计量比值大小适中,可以防止因上述化学计量比值较大而导致电子传输层内的氧空位浓度较低,确保电子传输层具有适当的电子传输能力。同时,还可以防止因上述化学计量比值较小使得电子传输层成为P型氧化物半导体层而导致光吸收层产生的电子在电子传输层内的复合速率增大,确保钙钛矿太阳能电池具有较高的光电转换效率。
作为一种可能的实现方式,如图5所示,沿着光吸收层11的厚度方向,上述电子传输层13包括交替层叠的第一含锡氧化物层131和第二含锡氧化物层132。第一含锡氧化物层131的材料为氧化锡。第二含锡氧化物层132的材料为锡氧化物。
具体的,电子传输层中与光吸收层相接触的膜层可以为第一含锡氧化物层、也可以为第二含锡氧化物层。电子传输层与第一电极相接触的膜层可以为第一含锡氧化物层、也可以为第二含锡氧化物层。另外,电子传输层包括的第一含锡氧化物层和第二含锡氧化物层的层数和厚度可以根据电子传输层内氧化锡和锡氧化物的化学计量比、电子传输层的总厚度、以及实际需求进行确定,此处不做具体限定。
例如:在锡氧化物包括氧化亚锡、且电子传输层内氧化锡和氧化亚锡的化学计量比的范围为:5:1至50:1的情况下,第一含锡氧化物层的层数可以大于等于30层、且小于等于50层。第二含锡氧化物层的层数可以大于等于1层、且小于等于10层。
采用上述技术方案的情况下,与材料为氧化锡的第一含锡氧化物层相比,材料为锡氧化物的第二含锡氧化物层内具有较高浓度的氧空位,因此相比于第一含锡氧化物层,第二含锡氧化物层的电子传输能力更高。基于此,沿着光吸收层的厚度方向,材料为氧化锡的第一含锡氧化物层与材料为锡氧化物的第二含锡氧化物层交替层叠设置,利于使得电子传输层内的氧空位可以沿着垂直于电子传输层的厚度方向均匀分布,进而利于使得电子传输层沿垂直于其厚度的方向的各部分具有的电子传输能力大致相同,防止电子传输层沿垂直于厚度方向的各部分对电子的传输速率不一致现象的发生,确保光吸收层沿垂直于厚度方向的各部分产生的电子均能够被电子传输层有效传输,进一步提高钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电转换效率。
作为另一种可能的实现方式,上述电子传输层为氧化锡和锡氧化物混合而成的混合材料层。此时,利于使得电子传输层沿厚度方向的各部分具有的电子传输能力大致相同,防止电子传输层沿厚度方向的各部分对电子的传输速率不一致现象的发生,降低光吸收层产生的电子在电子传输层内与氧空位发生复合的速率,进一步提高钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电转换效率。另外,还可以为氧化锡和锡氧化物在电子传输层内的分布提供了更多的实现方案,提高了本申请实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池在不同应用场景下的适用性。
作为一种可能的实现方式,如图3和图4所示,本申请实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池还包括钝化减反层16,以对钙钛矿太阳能电池的受光面进行
钝化,降低载流子在受光面一侧的复合速率,提高钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电转换效率。此外,钝化减反层16还可以使得更多的光线由钙钛矿太阳能电池的受光面折射至电池内部,提高钙钛矿太阳能电池对光能的利用率。其中,上述钝化减反层16的形成位置根据钙钛矿太阳能电池的具体结构相关。例如:如前文所述,如图3所示,当钙钛矿太阳能电池为反式结构时,钝化减反层16形成在空穴传输层12背离光吸收层11的一侧。又例如:如图4所示,当钙钛矿太阳能电池为正式结构时,钝化减反层16形成在电子传输层13背离光吸收层11的一侧。
具体的,钝化减反层的材质可以为氟化镁、氮化硅、氧化硅或氟化锂等材料。钝化减反层的厚度可以根据实际需求进行设置,此处不做具体限定。
本申请实施例还提供了一种叠层太阳能电池。该叠层太阳能电池包括底电池、以及位于底电池上的顶电池。顶电池为上述实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池。
具体的,上述底电池可以为异质结电池、钝化发射极背面电池、隧穿氧化层钝化接触电池、交叉指式背接触电池或交叉指式背接触异质结电池等。此外,可以理解的是,叠层太阳能电池中的底电池和顶电池串联。其中,如图6所示,可以通过将钙钛矿太阳能电池包括的空穴传输层12设置在底电池的上方。此时,通过顶电池的正极与底电池的负极耦合,以实现二者串联。或者,如图7所示,也可以通过将钙钛矿太阳能电池包括的电子传输层13设置在底电池的上方。此时,通过顶电池的负极与底电池的正极耦合,以实现二者串联。
如图6和图7所示,以底电池为硅异质结电池为例对叠层太阳能电池的具体结构进行说明。其中,底电池可以包括硅衬底17、第一本征硅层18、P型掺杂硅层19、第二本征硅层20和N型掺杂硅层21。
具体的,如图6所示,若通过将钙钛矿太阳能电池包括的空穴传输层12设置在底电池的上方,则沿远离硅衬底17的方向,第二本征硅层20和N型掺杂硅层21依次层叠设置在硅衬底17的受光面上。沿远离硅衬底17的方向,第一本征硅层18和P型掺杂硅层19依次层叠设置在硅衬底17的背光面上。
或者,如图7所示,若通过将钙钛矿太阳能电池包括的电子传输层13设置在底电池的上方,则沿远离硅衬底17的方向,第一本征硅层18和P型掺杂硅层19依次层叠设置在硅衬底17的受光面上。沿远离硅衬底17的方向,第二本征硅层20和N型掺杂硅层21依次层叠设置在硅衬底17的背光面上。
在一些情况下,如图6和图7所示,叠层太阳能电池还包括第二电极24、第三电极25、第二透明导电层22和第三透明导电层23。其中,第二透明导电层22形成在空穴传输层12背离光吸收层11的一侧。第三透明导电层23形成在底电池的背光面一侧。第二电极24形成在钙钛矿太阳能电池的受光面一侧。第三电极25形成在第三透明导电层23上。具体的,第二电极24和第二电极24的材料可以参考前文所述的第一电极的材料。第二透明导电层22和第三透明导电层23的材料可以参考前文所述的第一透明导电层的材料。
与现有技术相比,本申请实施例提供的叠层太阳能电池的有益效果,可以参考上述实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池的有益效果分析,此处不再赘述。
如图8所示,本申请实施例还提供了一种钙钛矿太阳能电池的制造方法,该钙钛矿太阳能电池的制造方法包括以下步骤:
首先,提供一基底。该基底可以为其上未形成有其它结构的透明导电基底。例如:该基底可以为氧化锡透明导电玻璃基底。或者,该基底还可以为其上形成有一些膜层的基底。在此情况下,形成有一些膜层的基底的具体结构可以根据实际应用场景设置,只要能够应用至本申请实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池的制造方法中均可。例如:如图6和图7所示,上述形成有一些膜层的基底可以为前文所述的底电池。
如图4所示,在基底上依次形成空穴传输层12、光吸收层11和电子传输层13。或者,如图3所示,在基底上依次形成电子传输层13、光吸收层11和空穴传输层12。其中,上述电子传输层13的材料包括氧化锡和锡氧化物。锡氧化物内锡元素和氧元素的化学计量比大于1:2,且小于等于1:1。
具体的,可以根据所制造的钙钛矿太阳能电池为正式结构还是反式结构确定钙钛矿太阳能电池所包括的各膜层的制造顺序。
例如:在钙钛矿太阳能电池为反式结构的情况下,可以在基底上依次形成电子传输层、光吸收层和空穴传输层,从而使得空穴传输层靠近钙钛矿太阳能电池的受光面。
又例如:在钙钛矿太阳能电池为正式结构的情况下,可以在基底上依次形成空穴传输层、光吸收层和电子传输层,从而使得电子传输层靠近钙钛矿太阳能电池的受光面。
与现有技术相比,本申请实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池的制造方法的有益效果,可以参考上述实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池的有益效果分析,此处不再赘述。
在实际的应用过程中,以在基底上依次形成电子传输层、光吸收层和空穴传输层为例对制造钙钛矿太阳能电池的制造过程进行说明。首先,可以采用采用原子层沉积、通过等离子辅助的原子层沉积等工艺在基底上形成电子传输层。接着可以采用溶液法等工艺在电子传输层上形成光吸收层。最后,可以采用旋转涂覆等工艺在光吸收层上形成空穴传输层。其中,上述空穴传输层、光吸收层和电子传输层的材料等信息可以参考前文,此处不再赘述。
具体的,因原子层沉积工艺是一种在气相中使用连续化学反应的薄膜形成工艺,其可以将物质以单原子膜形式一层一层的镀在基底表面,故采用原子层沉积工艺制造电子传输层可以使得所形成的电子传输层的厚度均匀。另外,原子层沉积工艺具有自限制机制,可以在提高电子传输层的厚度精度的同时,便于控制电子传输层内氧化锡和锡氧化物的化学计量比,确保电子传输层具有较高电子传输能力。基于此,本申请实施例提供的钙钛矿太阳能电池的制造方法优选采用原子层沉积工艺制造电子传输层。在此情况下,在实际制造时,需要向原子层沉积设备的反应腔室内交替通入锡源和氧源,直至形成目标厚度的电子传输层。
可以理解的是,在上述锡源内锡的化合价不同、以及氧源的氧化性强弱的不同,所形成的含锡的氧化物中锡元素和氧元素的化学计量比也不相同。基于此,可以将采用原子层沉积工艺形成电子传输层时,反应原材料包括的锡源和氧源至少分为以下三种情况进行说明:
第一种:锡源内锡的化合价为+2价。氧源包括第一氧源和第二氧源。
第一氧源包括水和醇中的至少一种。第二氧源包括氧气、臭氧和双氧水中的至少一种。在此情况下,上述水和醇的氧化性较弱,而氧气、臭氧和双氧水的氧化性较强。基于此,在锡源内锡的化合价为+2价时,第一氧源与+2价锡源反应可以形成氧化亚锡。第二氧源可以将+2价锡氧化为更高的+4价锡等,从而可以制造出材料包括锡混合价态的电子传输层。
具体的,在锡源内锡的化合价为+2价的情况下,该锡源可以为二甲基氨基-2-甲基-2-丙氧基锡(II)、双(N-乙氧基-2,2-二甲基丙酰胺基)锡(II)或双(叔戊氧基)-锡(II)等。
另外,上述第一氧源可以仅为水,也可以仅为醇,还可以是水和醇的混合溶液。其中,当第一氧源为水和醇的混合溶液时,混合溶液中水和醇的比例可以根据实际需求进行设置,此处不做具体限定。上述醇可以是乙醇、丙醇等。
上述第二氧源可以仅包括氧气、臭氧和双氧水中的任一种。或者,第二氧源可以包括氧气、臭氧和双氧水中的任意两种。又或者,第二氧源可以包括氧气、臭氧和双氧水。其中,当第二氧源包括氧气、臭氧和双氧水中的至少两种时,第二氧源中各成分的比例可以根据实际需求进行设置,此处不做具体限定。
在实际的应用过程中,当锡源和氧源为上述第一种情况限定的锡源、第一氧源和第二氧源时,可以根据电子传输层内氧化锡和锡氧化物的分布情况确定向反应腔室内通入锡源、第一氧源和第二氧源的方式。
在一种示例中,在第一种情况下,形成电子传输层包括以下步骤:首先,向反应腔室内X次交替通入锡源和第一氧源。X为大于或等于1的正整数。接着,向反应腔室内Y次交替通入锡源和第二氧源。Y为大于或等于1的正整数。然后循环Z次上述操作,直至形成具有目标厚度的电子传输层。Z为大于或等于1的正整数。
在此情况下,向反应腔室内X次交替通入上述锡源和第一氧源,可以形成一层具有一定厚度的含锡的氧化物层。另外,向反应腔室内Y次交替通入上述锡源和第二氧源,可以在其上形成另一层含锡的氧化物层。可以理解的是,因这两次操作中的锡源为+2价锡源、且第一氧源和第二氧源的氧化性
不同,同时第一氧源与+2价锡源反应可以形成氧化亚锡,第二氧源可以将+2价锡氧化为更高的+4价锡等,故上述两层含锡的氧化物层的材料不同。基于此,在循环Z此上述操作后,可以获得由上述两层含锡的氧化层交替层叠Z次设置的电子传输层。其中,该情况下具有的有益效果可以参考前文所述的电子传输层包括交替层叠设置的第一含锡氧化物层和第二含锡氧化物层的有益效果分析,此处不再赘述。
具体的,当进行上述第一步操作时,向反应腔室内通入一次锡源,并通入一次第一氧源为一次交替。其中,可以是先向反应腔室内通入一定时间的第一氧源,并在停止通第一氧源后,再向反应腔室内通入一定时间的锡源。或者,也可以是先向反应腔室内通入一定时间的锡源,并在停止通锡源后,再向反应腔室内通入一定时间的第一氧源。
当进行上述第二步操作时,锡源和第二氧源的通入顺序可以参考前文所述的第一步操作时锡源和第一氧源的通入顺序。此处不再赘述。
执行上述第一步操作时每次交替中锡源和第一氧源的通入时间、以及第二步操作时每次交替中锡源和第二氧源的通入时间可以根据实际应用场景设置。例如:第一步操作时每次交替中锡源的通入时间可以为10s至20s,第一氧源的通入时间可以为10s至20s。第二步操作时每次交替中锡源的通入时间可以为10s至20s,第二氧源的通入时间可以为10s至20s。
另外,上述X、Y的具体数值可以根据电子传输层内氧化锡和锡氧化物的化学计量比进行确定。示例性的,1≤X≤10,30≤Y≤50。在此情况下,如前文所述,在+2价锡源与第一氧源反应所形成的材料为氧化亚锡。而在+2价锡源与第二氧源反应所形成的材料中锡的化合价高于+2价、且小于等于+4价。并且,上述材料中锡的化合价大于等于+2价、且小于+4价的一者为锡氧化物。基于此,当第一氧源为氧化性较弱的氧源、且第二氧源为氧化性较强的氧源时,1≤X≤10、且30≤Y≤50时,电子传输层内氧化锡和锡氧化物的化学计量比的范围为5:1至50:1,该情况下具有的有益效果可以参考前文所述的电子传输层内氧化锡和氧化亚锡的化学计量比的范围为5:1至50:1具有的有益效果分析,此处不再赘述。
再者,Z的具体数值可以根据电子传输层的目标厚度进行确定。例如:
在电子传输层的目标厚度为30nm的情况下,Z可以等于230。
需要说明的是,该示例中,也可以是先向反应腔室内Y次交替通入锡源和第二氧源。接着再向反应腔室内X次交替通入锡源和第一氧源。然后循环Z次上述操作,直至形成具有目标厚度的电子传输层。换句话说,该示例中,向反应腔室内X次交替通入锡源和第一氧源的操作步骤,与向反应腔室内Y次交替通入锡源和第二氧源的操作步骤的执行先后顺序可以互换。
在另一种示例中,在上述第一种情况下,形成电子传输层包括步骤:向反应腔室内交替通入锡源、以及由第一氧源和第二氧源组成的混合物,直至形成具有目标厚度的电子传输层。其中,向反应腔室内通入一次锡源,并通入一次第一氧源和第二氧源组成的混合物为一次交替。另外,每次交替中,可以先通入锡源,再通入上述混合物。或者,每次交替中,可以先通入上述混合物,再通入锡源。再者,每次交替中,锡源和上述混合物的通入时间、以及混合物中第一氧源和第二氧源的比例可以根据锡氧化物中锡元素和氧元素的化学计量比、以及电子传输层内氧化锡和锡氧化物的化学计量比进行确定,此处不做具体限定。
采用上述技术方案的情况下,以先向反应腔室内通入锡源为例对电子传输层包括的其中一子层的形成过程进行说明:向反应腔室内通入+2价的锡源后,向该反应腔室内通入了第一氧源和第二氧源的混合物。此时,因第一氧源氧化性较弱、且第二氧源的氧化性较强,故如前文所述,+2价的锡源与氧化性不同的第一氧源和第二氧源所形成的每一子层的材料不仅包括氧化锡,还包括锡氧化物。基于此,通过该方式形成的电子传输层为氧化锡和锡氧化物混合而成的混合材料层。相应的,该情况下具有的有益效果可以参考前文所述的电子传输层为氧化锡和锡氧化物混合而成的混合材料层的有益效果分析,此处不再赘述。
第二种:上述锡源包括第一锡源和第二锡源。第一锡源内锡的化合价为+2价,第二锡源内锡的化合价为+4价。氧源包括水和醇中的至少一种。此时,可以制造出材料包括锡混合价态的电子传输层,为形成电子传输层提供了更多的实现方案,提高了本申请实施例提供的制造方法在不同应用场景下的适用性。
具体的,+2价的锡源的种类可以参考前文。+4价的锡源可以为四(二甲氨基)锡等。
在实际的应用过程中,当锡源和氧源为上述第二种情况限定的第一锡源、第二锡源和氧源时,同样也可以根据电子传输层内氧化锡和锡氧化物的分布情况确定向反应腔室内通入第一锡源、第二锡源和氧源的方式。
在一种示例中,在上述第二种情况下,形成电子传输层包括以下步骤:首先,向反应腔室内X次交替通入第一锡源和氧源。X为大于或等于1的正整数。接着,向反应腔室内Y次交替通入第二锡源和氧源。Y为大于或等于1的正整数。然后循环Z次上述操作,直至形成具有目标厚度的电子传输层。Z为大于或等于1的正整数。在此情况下,向反应腔室内X次交替通入上述第一锡源和氧源,可以形成一层具有一定厚度的含锡的氧化物层。另外,向反应腔室内Y次交替通入上述第二锡源和氧源,可以在其上形成另一层含锡的氧化物层。可以理解的是,因这两次操作中的氧源为氧化性较弱的氧源、且第一锡源和第二锡源内锡的化合价不同,同时在不采用等离子体等方式辅助反应的情况下第一锡源和第二锡源与氧化性较弱的氧源反应所获得的材料内锡的化合价基本不变,故上述两层含锡的氧化物层的材料不同。基于此,在循环Z此上述操作后,可以获得由上述两层含锡的氧化层交替层叠Z次设置的电子传输层。其中,该情况下具有的有益效果可以参考前文所述的电子传输层包括交替层叠设置的第一含锡氧化物层和第二含锡氧化物层的有益效果分析,此处不再赘述。
具体的,当进行上述第一步操作时,向反应腔室内通入一次第一锡源,并通入一次氧源为一次交替。其中,可以是先向反应腔室内通入一定时间的氧源,并在停止通氧源后,再向反应腔室内通入一定时间的第一锡源。或者,也可以是先向反应腔室内通入一定时间的第一锡源,并在停止通第一锡源后,再向反应腔室内通入一定时间的氧源。
当进行上述第二步操作时,第二锡源和氧源的通入顺序可以参考前文所述的第一步操作时第一锡源和氧源的通入顺序。此处不再赘述。
执行上述第一步操作时每次交替中第一锡源和氧源的通入时间、以及第二步操作时每次交替中第二锡源和氧源的通入时间可以根据实际应用场景
设置。例如:第一步操作时每次交替中第一锡源的通入时间可以为10s至20s,氧源的通入时间可以为10s至30s。第二步操作时每次交替中第二锡源的通入时间可以为10s至20s,氧源的通入时间可以为10s至30s。
另外,上述X、Y的具体数值可以根据电子传输层内氧化锡和锡氧化物的化学计量比进行确定。示例性的,1≤X≤10,30≤Y≤50。该情况下具有的有益效果可以参考前文,此处不再赘述。
再者,Z的具体数值可以根据电子传输层的目标厚度进行确定。例如:在电子传输层的目标厚度为50nm的情况下,Z可以等于380。
需要说明的是,该示例中,也可以是先向反应腔室内Y次交替通入第二锡源和氧源。接着再向反应腔室内X次交替通入第一锡源和氧源。然后循环Z次上述操作,直至形成具有目标厚度的电子传输层。换句话说,该示例中,向反应腔室内X次交替通入第一锡源和氧源的操作步骤,与向反应腔室内Y次交替通入第二锡源和氧源的操作步骤的执行先后顺序可以互换。
在另一种示例中,在上述第二种情况下,形成电子传输层包括步骤:向反应腔室内交替通入由第一锡源和第二锡源组成的混合物、以及氧源,直至形成具有目标厚度的电子传输层。
其中,向反应腔室内通入一次第一锡源和第二锡源组成的混合物,并通入一次氧源为一次交替。另外,每次交替中,可以先通入上述混合物,再通入氧源。或者,每次交替中,可以先通入氧源,再通入上述混合物。再者,每次交替中,上述混合物和氧源的通入时间、以及混合物中第一锡源和第二锡源的比例可以根据锡氧化物中锡元素和氧元素的化学计量比、以及电子传输层内氧化锡和锡氧化物的化学计量比进行确定,此处不做具体限定。
第三种:上述锡源中内锡的化合价为+2价。氧源包括水和醇中的至少一种。在上述情况下,形成电子传输层包括步骤:向反应腔室内Z次交替通入锡源和氧源,直至形成具有目标厚度的电子传输层。其中,在X次交替通入过程中,向反应腔室内通入锡源的同时进行等离子体放电。Z为大于1的正整数。X为小于Z、且大于等于1的正整数。
在实际的制造过程中,在向反应腔室内通入+2价锡源的同时进行等离子体放电,可以通过等离子体的引入,产生大量活性自由基,增强了+2价
锡源的反应活性。此时,即使再向反应腔室内通入氧化性较弱的氧源,也可以将+2价锡源中的锡氧化为具有更高价态的锡,从而可以使得一次交替后所形成的子层的材料包括氧化锡等锡的化合价大于+2价、且小于等于+4价的含锡的氧化物。而在反应腔室内通入锡源时不进行等离子放电的情况,再向反应腔室内通入氧化性较弱的氧源,可以形成氧化亚锡,从而制造出材料包括锡混合价态的电子传输层。在上述情况下,上述X和Z的大小可以根据电子传输层内氧化锡和锡氧化物的化学计量比、以及电子传输层的目标厚度进行确定。例如:在电子传输层内氧化锡和锡氧化物的化学计量比为50:1、且Z等于8250的情况下,X等于165。
另外,在X为大于等于2的正整数的情况下,具体是在哪一次通入锡源时进行等离子体放电辅助,可以根据电子传输层内氧化锡和锡氧化物的分布进行确定,此处不做具体限定。
作为一种可能的实现方式,向反应腔室内通入锡源前,钙钛矿太阳能电池的制造方法还包括:采用保护气体吹扫反应腔室。在此情况下,可以将反应腔室内多余的氧源吹扫至反应腔室外,确保一次交替反应中锡源和氧源的比例满足预设方案的要求,提高制造精度。同时,还可以在第一次交替后,将反应腔室内多余的反应副产物吹扫至反应腔室外,防止反应副产物影响所制造的电子传输层的成膜质量,进一步提高电子传输层具有的电子传输能力。
作为一种可能的实现方式,向反应腔室内通入氧源前,钙钛矿太阳能电池的制造方法还包括:采用保护气体吹扫反应腔室。在此情况下,可以将反应腔室内多余的锡源吹扫至反应腔室外,确保一次交替反应中锡源和氧源的比例满足预设方案的要求,提高制造精度。同时,还可以在第一次交替后,将反应腔室内多余的反应副产物吹扫至反应腔室外,防止反应副产物影响所制造的电子传输层的成膜质量,进一步提高电子传输层具有的电子传输能力。
具体的,上述向反应腔室内通入锡源前采用保护气体吹扫反应腔室的吹扫时间、以及上述向反应腔室内通入氧源前采用保护气体吹扫反应腔室的吹扫时间可以根据实际应用场景设置,此处不做具体限定。例如:吹扫时间可以为10s至30s。另外,上述保护气体可以为氮气、氦气和氩气等。
作为一种可能的实现方式,形成电子传输层的反应温度为50℃至250℃。
在此情况下,形成电子传输层的反应温度大小适中,防止因反应温度较小而导致锡源和氧源反应不完全影响电子传输层的形成质量,还可以防止因反应温度较低使得反应速率较小而导致电子传输层的制造效率较低,提高钙钛矿太阳能电池的良率和速率。此外,还可以防止因反应温度较大而导致电子传输层与光吸收层之间的兼容性变差,确保上述电子传输层在钙钛矿太阳能电池中具有较高的可应用性。
当然,也可以根据不同的实际应用场景将电子传输层的反应温度设置为其它合适数值,此处不做具体限定。
