摘要 高性能的电子传输传输层对提升钙钛矿太阳能电池的光电转化效率具有至关重要的作用。基于表面修饰的方法,采用旋涂法在ZnO纳米阵列上制备Zn_(2)SnO_(4)钝化层,再通过水热法原位自生长SnO_(2)构建出ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4)/SnO_(2)双异质结纳米阵列。利用X射线衍射、场发射扫描电镜、透射电子显微镜对异质结的物相、形貌进行了观察和分析,并通过电化学工作站对其光电性能进行了测试。结果表明:Zn_(2)SnO_(4)和SnO_(2)都成功负载在ZnO上,三者之间交错的能带结构所形成的双Ⅱ型异质结进一步提高了光生电子–空穴对分离效率,使得ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4)/SnO_(2)双异质结纳米阵列的电流密度以及光电流较ZnO得到了明显的改善,同时电荷转移电阻从22403Ω降低至3131Ω,载流子浓度从1.22×10^(19)cm^(–3)降低至1.18×10^(18)cm^(–3),光电性能提升明显。 Introduction As an important part of perovskite solar cells,the electron transport layer plays a role in transporting electrons and blocking holes,having an impact on the performance of perovskite cells.ZnO is a promising electron transport layer (ETL) material because of its high electron mobility,easy synthesis,low-temperature preparation and low cost.However,the chemical properties of ZnO are unstable,and the surface defects are easy to form recombination centers,leading to the decline of electron extraction and transfer efficiency,and surface residual groups destroy the perovskite structure and reduce the stability of perovskite materials,resulting in the deterioration of device performance.Therefore,selecting a suitable modification layer to improve the stability of ZnO plays an important role in improving the performance of ZnO and perovskite batteries.Methods ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4) NAs was prepared on ZnO NAs surface by a spin-coating method to passivate ZnO surface defects and residual groups.ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4)/SnO_(2) NAs was formed via in-situ growth of a layer of SnO_(2) by a hydrothermal method to improve the stability of ZnO.The phase and morphology of the heterojunction were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD),scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).The photoelectric performance was measured in electrochemical workstation,in which the photoelectric response ability of the nanoarray was characterized by linear sweep voltammetry.The separation performance of photogenerated electrons and holes in nanoarrays was analyzed via the change of photocurrent.The charge transfer resistance was determined by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.The conductive type of the semiconductor was determined via the Mott-Schottky test,and the passivation effect of Zn_(2)SnO_(4) and SnO_(2) on the ZnO surface defects was reflected by the carrier concentration.Results and discussion The results by XRD,SEM and TEM show that Zn_(2)SnO_(4) and SnO_(2) are coated on ZnO nanoarrays.Zn_(2)SnO_(4)as a protective layer has a superior chemical stability in alkaline environment to prevent direct contact between ZnO and OH^(–)produced by urea hydrolysis,avoiding the corrosion of ZnO.This is beneficial to improving the stability and photoelectric properties of ZnO.The linear scanning voltammetry curves of ZnO,ZnO/SnO_(2),ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4) and ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4)/SnO_(2) NAs at 0–0.6 V vs.RHE under light conditions indicate that ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4)/SnO_(2) NAs have the maximum photocurrent density.These results demonstrate that the photoelectric response of nanoarrays can be improved via the modification of Zn_(2)SnO_(4).ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4) and ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4)/SnO_(2)NAs modified with Zn_(2)SnO_(4) exhibit a higher photocurrent.The ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4)/SnO_(2) NAs photocurrent (i.e.,140μA·cm^(–2)) is1.75 times greater than that of ZnO NAs photocurrent (i.e.,80μA·cm^(–2)).This indicates that the addition of Zn_(2)SnO_(4) and the construction of double heterojunction have a positive effect on reducing the electron-hole pair recombination phenomenon and improving the photoelectric performance of nanoarray.The charge transfer resistances of ZnO,ZnO/SnO_(2),ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4),ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4)/SnO_(2) NAs measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are 22403Ω,16854Ω,7018Ω and 3131Ω,respectively.The Zn_(2)SnO_(4) modified layer reduces a charge transfer resistance via passivating the ZnO surface defects and reducing the scattering effect of the defects on the carriers.The ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4)/SnO_(2) co-constructed heterojunction structure promotes the separation of electron-hole pairs and electron transport at the interface,further reducing the resistance of photogenerated electrons to transfer at the interface.In the Mott-Schottky test,the carrier concentrations of ZnO,ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4),ZnO/SnO_(2),ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4)/SnO_(2)NAs are 1.22×10^(19),2.34×10^(18),2.41×10^(18) and 1.18×10^(18 )cm^(–3),respectively.ZnO defects are passivated by Zn_(2)SnO_(4) modification,and the carrier recombination center is reduced.The carrier concentration of ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4)/SnO_(2) NAs is lower than that of Zn O NAs.ZnO,Zn_(2)SnO_(4) and SnO_(2) form a double type II heterojunction with interlaced arrangement of energy level,which drives a transfer of photogenerated electrons from high energy level to low energy level,so that the photogenerated electron-hole pair can be effectively separated at the interface,thus effectively reducing the electron and hole recombination.It also reduces a charge transfer resistance and promotes a photogenerated electron transfer from SnO_(2) to ZnO.The photoelectric properties of ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4)/SnO_(2) (i.e.,current density,photocurrent and carrier concentration) are improved.Conclusion ZnO NAs surface was coated with Zn_(2)SnO_(4 )nanocrystals by a spin-coating method.Zn_(2)SnO_(4) reduced the recombination of photo-generated charge carriers at the interface via passivating the defects and residual groups on ZnO NAs surface.Based on ZnO surface defects passivated by Zn_(2)SnO_(4),a more stable and high-density SnO_(2) nanoparticle coating layer was in-situ grown on ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4) NAs by a hydrothermal method,and the double heterojunction was formed with ZnO and Zn_(2)SnO_(4).The alternating energy level arrangement could improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers.The constructed ZnO/Zn_(2)SnO_(4)/SnO_(2) NAs had higher current density,photocurrent,lower charge transfer resistance and carrier concentration,which could be used as an electron transport layer in perovskite solar cells.
