摘要: 由于具有高效率以及可溶液法制备等优点,钙钛矿太阳能电池受到了广泛关注。溶液法制备钙钛矿薄膜通常使用旋涂法。然而,溶液旋涂法具有厚度不均匀、原料浪费严重等缺点,因而不适合制备大面积钙钛矿薄膜。目前,制备大面积均匀的钙钛矿太阳能电池仍是一项挑战。为此,本文使用一种新方法(气相辅助刮刀涂布法)来克服这一问题。该方法能够制备出大面积、高结晶度的均匀钙钛矿薄膜。此外,通过改变前驱液的浓度,能够得到不同厚度的钙钛矿薄膜。进一步研究发现,当前驱溶液浓度为1.0 M时,可以制备出光伏性能最佳的钙钛矿太阳能电池。当电池活性面积分别为0.112 5 cm2和1.0 cm2时,在AM1.5G(100 mW/cm2)模拟太阳光下,其光电转化效率的最高值为17.76%(平均效率16.9%)和16.3%。这为大面积钙钛矿太阳能电池的制备提供了新思路。Abstract: Perovskite solar cells(PSCs) have attracted widespread attention due to their high efficiency and easy preparation with solution method. Normally, perovskite thin films are prepared via spin coating. Spin coating is not suitable for large-area preparation due to its drawbacks, including nonuniformity of film thickness and excessive waste of materials. Large-area preparation of uniform perovskite solar cells is still a big challenge today. Therefore, a vapor-assisted doctor blading(VADB) process is demonstrated here to prepare large-area and highly crystallized perovskite thin films. In addition, by changing the concentration of the precursor solution, perovskite films of different thicknesses are produced. Furthermore, we find that the performance of PSCs with a precursor concentration of 1.0 M is the best. The devices show the highest efficiencies of 17.76%(average 16.9%) and 16.3% under simulated AM1.5G(100 mW/cm2) solar light on an active area of 0.112 5 cm2 and 1.0 cm2, respectively. This provides a new possible way for the large-area preparation of PSCs.
