The acid–base chemistry at the interface of zinc oxide (ZnO) and methylammonium lead tri-iodide (perovskite) leads to a proton transfer reaction that results in perovskite degradation. In perovskite solar cells (PSCs), this reaction produces low efficiency and reduces the long-term stability. In this work, an aluminum (Al) layer of 1–2 nm thickness is thermally evaporated on top of ZnO or Al3+-doped ZnO (ZnO:Al) thin films and then annealed at 450 °C for 30 min. Thermal annealing converts the surface aluminum film into a transparent and approximately 2 nm thick aluminum oxide (AlOx) layer. Also, a larger concentration of oxygen vacancies is obtained by the annealing of Al and attributed to the diffusion of Al into the ZnO surface, and the ZnO underlayer results in a more conductive material. As a result, the chemical stability of perovskite coatings on top of AlOx-coated ZnO films is significantly enhanced, and the flat-band level of ZnO shifts 0.09 eV upwards, which improves the energetic level alignment in PSCs. This allows us to obtain ZnO:Al/AlOx-based planar PSCs that show a maximum efficiency of 16.56% with the perovskite layer prepared in ambient conditions under a relative humidity of 40–50%. After continuous illumination of about 30 min in air, ZnO-based PSCs without AlOx layer retain only 34.5% of their original efficiency, whereas those with AlOx retain about 92.5%. It is demonstrated that thermal evaporation–oxidation is an efficient method to modify the surface properties of inorganic semiconductor thin films and improves both the performance and stability of PSCs.

热蒸发氧化沉积的氧化铝作为界面改性剂,可改善基于氧化锌的平面钙钛矿太阳能电池的性能和稳定性

氧化锌(ZnO)和甲基铵三碘化铅(钙钛矿)界面处的酸碱化学性质导致质子转移反应,导致钙钛矿降解。在钙钛矿太阳能电池(PSC)中,此反应效率低,并降低了长期稳定性。在这项工作中,将厚度为1-2 nm的铝(Al)层热蒸发到ZnO或掺有Al 3+的ZnO(ZnO:Al)薄膜上,然后在450°C下退火30分钟。热退火将表面铝膜转换成透明的约2 nm厚的氧化铝(AlO x)层。而且,通过Al的退火获得较大浓度的氧空位,这归因于Al向ZnO表面的扩散,并且ZnO底层导致导电性更高的材料。结果,AlO x涂层的ZnO薄膜顶部的钙钛矿涂层的化学稳定性得到显着增强,并且ZnO的带状能级向上移动0.09 eV,这改善了PSC中的能级能级。这使我们可以获得基于ZnO:Al / AlO x的平面PSC,在环境条件下,相对湿度为40%至50%的条件下制备钙钛矿层时,其最大效率为16.56%。在空气中连续照明约30分钟后,不含AlO x的基于ZnO的PSC层仅保留其原始效率的34.5%,而具有AlO x的层保留约92.5%。结果表明,热蒸发氧化是一种有效的方法,可以改变无机半导体薄膜的表面性能,并改善PSC的性能和稳定性。
