核心亮点:本文开发了一种通用策略,将甲脒(FA)阳离子加入大尺寸有机钝化剂中,以实现具有均匀形貌的相纯n值2D钙钛矿盖层。基于这种无抗溶剂沉积策略,在0.14 cm2的小尺寸器件、1.04 cm2的大尺寸器件和13.44 cm2的微型模块上,冠军有源面积效率分别达到25.61%、24.62%和23.60%,随着活性面积的增加,效率损失相对较小。
当将器件升级为模块时,基于纯相二维(2D)钙钛矿的均匀钝化层的形成对钙钛矿太阳能电池来说是一个挑战,为解决这一问题,武汉理工大学卜童乐研究员团队提出了一种有效的、可扩展的钝化策略,通过抑制在组成和维度方面不利的相分离,可以在3D钙钛矿表面均匀地形成相纯的2D钙钛矿覆盖层,揭示了生长在三维钙钛矿之上的二维钙钛矿的链长依赖和卤化物相关的相分离问题。证明了在长链(bbb10)烷基胺配体盐中使用溴甲脒处理钙钛矿层可以形成均匀的二维钙钛矿钝化层。对于无抗溶剂加工的小型(0.14 cm2)和大尺寸(1.04 cm2)器件以及小型模块(13.44 cm2),分别实现了25.61%,24.62%和23.60%的冠军有源面积效率。
此外,太阳能微型组件在MPPT下的T80寿命超过2000小时,表明了出色的稳定性。最显著的是,20 cm × 20 cm和30 cm × 30 cm的大尺寸psm在310 cm2和802 cm2的孔径面积上分别表现出18.90%和17.59%的冠军效率。这种同质化低维结构钝化策略对于加速psm的商业化具有相当大的潜力。
