Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for preparing a perovskite compound usable as a light absorber of a solar cell, and provides a method for preparing a light absorber of a solar cell in which the crystallinity of a perovskite compound is increased, resulting in an increase in the stability and efficiency of the solar cell.
Claims9
A method for preparing a light absorber of a solar cell, comprising the steps of:
- applying, on an electrode (step 1),
- step 1(a) coating an adduct of i) a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1, and ii) a polar aprotic solvent containing a NH or NCH3 structure in a solvent different from the polar aprotic solvent in the adduct, and
- step 1(b) coating a solution containing one or two types of compounds represented by Chemical Formula 2,
- wherein step 1(a) and step 1(b) are preformed sequentially;
- and
- heat-treating the electrode of step 1 (step 2):
- MXX′ [Chemical Formula 1]
- in Chemical Formula 1,
- M is a divalent metal cation,
- X and X′ are each independently the same or different halogen;
- AX″ [Chemical Formula 2]
- in Chemical Formula 2,
- A is an organic cation of R1R2R3R4N+, or (R5R6N═CH—NR7R8)+,
- wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are each independently hydrogen, or Cl1-10 alkyl, with the proviso that at least one of R1, R2, R3 and R4 is C1-10 alkyl,
- R5, R6, R7 and R8 are each independently hydrogen, or C1-10 alkyl, and
- X″ is halogen.
