基于溶液法加工制备的聚合物太阳能电池的高温热稳定性是决定器件能否兼容后续高温热封装工艺, 如热压封装、高温原子层沉积(ALD)等的一个关键. 本文分别利用聚(3, 4-乙烯二氧噻吩)-聚苯乙烯磺酸(PEDOT:PSS)和MoO₃作为阳极缓冲层, 以及ZnO和LiF 作为阴极缓冲层, 制备了结构为氧化铟锡(ITO)/阳极缓冲层/3-己基取代聚噻吩:(6, 6)-苯基C₆₁-丁酸甲酯(P3HT:PC₆₁BM)/阴极缓冲层/Al 的太阳能电池, 系统地比较研究了不同界面缓冲材料对器件光电转换性能及稳定性的影响, 特别是在高温煺火条件下器件的性能稳定性差异. 结果表明, 聚合物太阳能电池的热稳定性同器件的结构以及所用的缓冲层材料有密切的相关性. 其中, 利用MoO₃及ZnO分别作为阳极与阴极界面修饰层的P3HT:PC₆₁BM器件在120-150 ℃的温度范围内能够较好地保持器件的光电转换性能. 这一结果为后续需要高温封装工艺的器件提供了有意义的结构优化指导. 此外, 研究结果还表明利用ZnO作为阴极缓冲层能够改善器件的长时间稳定性.     

基于聚合物给体/有机小分子/富勒烯受体的三元共混有机太阳能电池

成功构筑了基于聚合物给体P3HT/有机小分子TT-TTPA/富勒烯受体PC₆₁BM的三元共混有机太阳能电池. 共轭有机小分子TT-TTPA与PC₆₁BM有很好的相容性, 相分离很小. 溶剂退火和热退火时, 含量相对较少的TT-TTPA容易从P3HT相中脱离出来进入PC₆₁BM相, 增加P3HT的结晶空间, 从而提高P3HT的结晶度和相纯度. 通过引入少量的第三组分TT-TTPA, 制备的三元共混有机太阳能电池获得了4.41%的能量转换效率, 相对于P3HT/PC₆₁BM二元共混体系的效率(3.85%)提高显著.

钙钛矿太阳能电池以其高效、低成本的特点备受关注。到目前为止,钙钛矿太阳能电池的最高光电转换效率已经超过25%,显示出良好的应用前景。钙钛矿薄膜的结晶性能是决定器件性能的关键,因此,调控钙钛矿薄膜的生长过程至关重要。本工作中,我们发现通过简单调节前驱体溶剂,即调节二甲基亚砜：1,4-丁内酯:N,N-二甲基甲酰胺(DMSO:GBL:DMF)的三种混合溶剂的比例,可实现钙钛矿薄膜中PbI₂和PbI₂(DMSO)含量的调节,从而调节电池的器件性能。此外,本工作系统研究了PbI₂和PbI₂(DMSO)的含量对器件性能的影响。结果表明,PbI₂(DMSO)的形成会导致300–425nm波长范围内电池的外量子效率(EQE)降低,从而导致器件性能下降。相反,通过在前驱体溶液中添加额外的碘化亚甲基铵(MAI),可以抑制PbI₂和PbI₂(DMSO)的形成。

控制碘化铅形貌两步连续刮涂法大面积制备甲脒基钙钛矿薄膜

钙钛矿太阳能电池在实现高性能光伏器件方面展现出巨大的商业化应用前景,但面临着一个最主要的挑战是开发工业化规模生产的大面积高质量钙钛矿薄膜制备工艺。在本研究中,为解决大面积印刷难题,通过两步连续刮涂法制备甲脒基钙钛矿吸光层。两步法中第一步沉积的PbI₂很容易形成致密的薄膜,这将导致后续沉积的有机胺盐无法和PbI₂充分完全反应,在钙钛矿薄膜中残留PbI₂,这会严重影响载流子的传输。为了实现理想的多孔PbI₂薄膜结构,我们通过在PbI₂前驱体溶液中引入四亚甲基亚砜(THTO)。通过形成PbI₂·THTO络合物,PbI₂的结晶过程被有效控制,易形成片状的PbI₂晶粒并沿着垂直基底方向上排列,得到了理想的纳米通道。这为后续的有机胺盐渗入提供了理想的纳米通道。最终5 cm × 5 cm模组实现了18.65%的功率转化效率,并具有出色的存储和热稳定性。这一结果展现了两步连续刮涂法策略在制备大面积钙钛矿太阳能电池方面具备一定的优势。

Solution-processed CuOx as an efficient hole-extraction layer for inverted planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells

A solution-processed CuO_x film has been successfully integrated as the hole-transporting layer (HTL) for inverted planar heterojunction perovskite solar cells (PVSCs). The CuO_x layer is fabricated by simply spin-coating a copper acetylacetonate (Cu(acac)₂) chloroform solution onto ITO glass with high transparency in the visible range. The compact and pinhole-free perovskite film with large grain domains is grown on the CuO_x film. The inverted PVSCs with the structure of ITO/CuO_x/MAPbI₃/PC₆₁BM/ZnO/Al are fabricated and show a best PCE of 17.43% under standard AM 1.5G simulated solar irradiation with a V_OC of 1.03 V, a J_SC of 22.42 mA cm^-2, and a fill factor of 0.76, which is significantly higher and more stable than that fabricated from the often used hole-transporting material PEDOT:PSS (11.98%) under the same experimental conditions. The enhanced performance is attributed to the efficient hole extraction through the CuO_x layer as well as the high-quality CH₃NH₃PbI₃ films grown on the CuO_x. Our results indicate that low-cost and solution-processed CuO_x film is a promising HTL for high performance PVSCs with better stability.     

理论研究BBPQ-PC61BM体系的光伏性质

Synthesis of two A-B-C type conjugated amphiphilic triblock fullerene derivatives and their application in organic solar cells

Two A-B-C type conjugated amphiphilic triblock fullerene derivatives C60-2 HMTPB and C60-2 EHTPB were obtained in multi steps synthesis with three different blocks,and the amphiphilic diblock molecular C60-4 TPB was also preferred as a reference.When as modifying layer on zinc oxide(ZnO),the three fullerene derivatives can all reduce the work function of ZnO via modulation of the interfacial dipoles and lead a better electrical coupling.As introducing treatment of toluene,the obvious self-assembly of fullerene derivatives were observed,which were supported by X-ray diffraction and contact angle of water measurement.Base on PTB7-Th:PC71 BM system,the inverted organic solar cells devices with structure of ITO/ZnO/fullerene derivatives/PTB7-Th:PC71BM/Mo03/Al got power conversion efficiencies of 8.62%,8.83%and 9.00%for C60-4 TPB,C60-2 HMTPB and C60-2 EHTPB,respectively,compared 8.13%of devices with bare ZnO.The result of conjugated amphiphilic triblock fullerene derivatives provides a straightforward approaching by simultaneously modulating the morphology and interfacial work function of ZnO,which can also lead high performance in optoelectronic devices.     

Anode Engineering of Highly Efficient Polymer Solar Cells Using Treated ITO

ITO substrates were treated with organic solvent cleaning(OSC), SC1 treatment[V(NH₄OH):V(H₂O₂): V(H₂O)=1:1:5], O₂ plasma and UV ozone, respectively. Combined investigations of atom force microscopy(AFM), water contact angle measurements, ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy(UPS) and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy(XPS) demonstrated that UV ozone treatment could give rise to the smoothest surface, the most hydrophilic property and the highest work function(WF) of ITO due to the removal of hydrophobic C-O impurity from the ITO surface and the enrichments of more oxygen on the ITO surface. When PEDOT:PSS film[(poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy- thiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate)] was deposited on the ITO substrates treated with UV ozone, it showed a lower root-mean- square roughness in AFM images, a higher transmission in UV-Vis transmission spectra and a higher WF in UPS spectra than the PEDOT:PSS films deposited on the ITO substrates treated by other three methods. As a result, the power conversion efficiency of polymer solar cells(PSCs) based on PTB7:PC₇₁BM as an active layer and ITO treated by UV ozone as an anode can reach 8.48% because of the simultaneously improved short circuit current, open circuit voltage and fill factor compared to the PSCs with ITO treated with other three methods.

Inverted polymer solar cells with Zn2SnO4 nanoparticles as the electron extraction layer

In this study, we report narrow-size distribution Zn₂SnO₄ (ZSO) nanoparticles, which are produced by low-temperature solution-processed used as the electron extraction layer (EEL) in the inverted polymer solar cells (i-PSCs). Moreover, poly[(9,9-bis(3'-(N,N-dimethylamino)propyl)-2,7-fluorene)-alt-2,7-(9,9-dioctylfluorene)] (PFN) is used to modify the surface properties of ZSO thin film. By using the ZSO NPs/PFN as the EEL, the i-PSCs fabricated by poly[4,8-bis(2-ethylhexyloxyl)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b'] dithio-phene-2,6-diyl-altethylhexyl-3-fluorothithieno [3,4-b]thiophene-2-carboxylate-4,6-diyl] (PTB7) blended with (6,6)-phenyl-C₇₁-butyric acid methylester (PC₇₁BM) bulk heterojunction (BHJ) composite, exhibits a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.44%, which is nearly 10% enhancement as compared with that of 7.75% observed from the i-PSCs by PTB7:PC₇₁BM BHJ composite using the ZnO/PFN EEL. The enhanced PCE is originated from improved interfacial contact between the EEL with BHJ active layer and good energy level alignment between BHJ active layer and the EEL. Our results indicate that we provide a simple way to boost efficiency of i-PSCs.
