Abstract

A method for preparing a perovskite film includes the steps of applying a first solution on a substrate to form a film by spin coating and applying a second solution on the film made from the first solution by spin coating to form the perovskite film. The perovskite film is expressed by a general formula of ABX 3 . The solute of the first solution at least contains one of AX and BX 2 . The solute of the second solution at least contains one of AX and BX 2 . A method for preparing the solar cell using the perovskite film as the active layer (absorber) is also disclosed.

Claims (21)

1. A method for preparing a perovskite film, comprising steps of:

applying a first solution on a substrate to form a film by spin coating; and

applying a second solution on the film made from the first solution to form the perovskite film, which is expressed by a general formula of ABX 3 by spin coating,

wherein the solute of the first solution at least contains one of AX and BX 2 , and the solute of the second solution at least contains one of AX and BX 2 .

2. The method for preparing a perovskite film as recited in claim 1 , wherein A represents at least one of alkali metal ions, methylamine ions, ethylamine ions, NH 2 CH═NH 2 ions or alkylamine ions, B represents at least one of the group IV element (Ge, Sn, Pb), the group III indium (In) and the group V antimony (Sb), and X represents at least one of the elements of the group VII (F, Cl, Br, I).

3. The method for preparing a perovskite film as recited in claim 1 , wherein each of the solvents of the first and second solutions is DMF or isopropanol or the mixture of the two.

4. A method for preparing a solar cell using a perovskite film as an active layer, comprising steps of:

providing a conductive material;

forming a first carrier transport layer on the conductive material;

applying a first solution on the first carrier transport layer to form a film by spin coating;

applying a second solution on the film made from the first solution to form the perovskite film, which is expressed by a general formula of ABX 3 by spin coating;

forming a second carrier transport layer on the perovskite film; and

forming an electrode layer on the second carrier transport layer,

wherein the solute of the first solution at least contains one of AX and BX 2 , and the solute of the second solution at least contains one of AX and BX 2 .

5. The method for preparing a solar cell as recited in claim 4 , wherein A represents at least one of alkali metal ions, methylamine ions, ethylamine ions, NH 2 CH═NH 2 ions or alkylamine ions, B represents at least one of the group IV element (Ge, Sn, Pb), the group III indium (In) and the group V antimony (Sb), and X represents at least one of the elements of the group VII (F, Cl, Br, I).

6. The method for preparing a solar cell as recited in claim 4 , wherein each of the solvents of the first and second solutions is DMF or isopropanol or the mixture of the two.
