A fullerene derivative (α-bis-PCBM) is purified from an as-produced bis-phenyl-C -butyric acid methyl ester (bis-[60]PCBM) isomer mixture by preparative peak-recycling, high-performance liquid chromatography, and is employed as a templating agent for solution processing of metal halide perovskite films via an antisolvent method. The resulting α-bis-PCBM-containing perovskite solar cells achieve better stability, efficiency, and reproducibility when compared with analogous cells containing PCBM. α-bis-PCBM fills the vacancies and grain boundaries of the perovskite film, enhancing the crystallization of perovskites and addressing the issue of slow electron extraction. In addition, α-bis-PCBM resists the ingression of moisture and passivates voids or pinholes generated in the hole-transporting layer. As a result, a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.8% is obtained, compared with 19.9% by PCBM, and is accompanied by excellent stability under heat and simulated sunlight. The PCE of unsealed devices dropped by less than 10% in ambient air (40% RH) after 44 d at 65 °C, and by 4% after 600 h under continuous full-sun illumination and maximum power point tracking, respectively.
一种富勒烯衍生物(α-双-PCBM)从粗产物双-苯基-C-丁酸甲酯(双-[60]PCBM)异构体混合物中通过制备性峰循环、高效液相色谱法纯化,并作为模板剂用于通过反溶剂法处理金属卤化物钙钛矿薄膜。与含有 PCBM 的类似电池相比,所得含有 α-双-PCBM 的钙钛矿太阳能电池具有更好的稳定性、效率和可重复性。α-双-PCBM 填充钙钛矿薄膜的空位和晶界,增强钙钛矿的结晶,并解决电子提取缓慢的问题。此外,α-双-PCBM 抵抗水分的侵入,并使空穴传输层中产生的空隙或针孔钝化。结果,获得了 20.8%的功率转换效率(PCE),而 PCBM 为 19.9%,并且在热和模拟阳光下具有出色的稳定性。未密封器件在 65°C 下 44 天后在 40%相对湿度的环境空气中的 PCE 下降小于 10%,并且在连续全阳光照射和最大功率点跟踪下 600 小时后下降 4%。
