陈江照和易健宏团队在多齿配体增强螯合以稳定埋底界面实现高性能钙钛矿太阳能电池领域取得重要进

近日，昆明理工大学材料科学与工程学院陈江照和易健宏团队在国际化学顶级期刊Angewandte Chemie International Edition上以“Polydentate ligand reinforced chelating to stabilize buried interface toward high-performance perovskite solar cells”为题发表文章，该研究工作得到国家自然科学基金面上、兵团重点领域科技攻关计划项目等项目的资助。

金属卤钙钛矿太阳能电池因其优异的性能在光伏领域引起了广泛的关注。目前已经实现了高达26.1%的认证效率，该效率能够与单晶硅电池的效率媲美。然而，差的长期工作稳定性对钙钛矿光伏技术的商业化提出了严峻的挑战。器件中每一个功能层及其界面与电池的长期稳定性密切相关。其中，正式p-i-n电池的埋底界面对制备高效稳定钙钛矿太阳能电池至关重要。

鉴于此，陈江照教授和易健宏教授团队开发了一种多齿配体增强的螯合策略，通过管理界面缺陷和应力来提高埋底界面的稳定性。采用双（2,2,2-三氟乙基）（甲氧羰基甲基）膦酸酯（BTP）修饰埋底界面。BTP中的C=O、P=O和两个-CF₃官能团协同钝化SnO₂表面和钙钛矿薄膜底表面的缺陷。而且，BTP修饰有助于减轻界面残余拉应力，促进钙钛矿结晶，降低界面能垒。该多齿配体调控策略适用于不同的钙钛矿组分，具有很好的普适性。由于显著的减少了非辐射复合和显著提高的界面接触，BTP修饰的器件实现了24.63%的功率转换效率（PCE），这是空气环境制备的器件报道的最高效率之一。未封装的BTP修饰的器件在10-20%RH环境中老化3000小时以上保持初始效率的98.6%。未封装的BTP修饰的器件加热老化1728小时后保持初始效率的84.2%。本工作为通过设计多齿螯合配体分子增强埋底界面稳定性提供见解与指导。
