摘要

利用吸收光谱、傅里叶变换红外光谱和循环伏安等表征技术，分析了利用四丁基碘化铵（TBAI）和1，2-乙二硫醇（EDT）配体钝化处理的PbS胶体量子点的光学性质、表面化学及其能级结构，并在此基础上分别以PbS-TBAI薄膜、PbS-EDT薄膜和PbS-TBAI/PbS-EDT薄膜作为有源层制备了PbS胶体量子点/ZnO纳米粒子异质结太阳能电池，以比较研究表面配体和器件结构对器件光伏性能及其稳定性的影响。结果表明，TBAI和EDT均能与PbS胶体量子点表面原有的油酸配体实现良好置换，但是配体置换之后量子点表面均残留少量油酸分子；PbS-TBAI薄膜的导带底为-5.12 eV，价带顶为-3.86 eV，而PbS-EDT薄膜的导带底为-4.99 eV，价带顶为-3.74 eV，后者相对前者出现了明显的能带上移；PbS-TBAI/PbS-EDT双配体器件的光伏性能最优，能量转化效率达到4.43%；随着空气暴露时间的增加，PbS-TBAI/PbS-EDT双配体器件和PbS-TBAI单配体器件表现出相似的性能变化趋势，于3 d后达到最优光伏性能，而PbS-EDT单配体器件的空气稳定性差，3 d后的能量转换效率下降至初始效率的1/4。本工作的研究结果将不仅有助于加深对PbS胶体量子点电池性能变化规律的认识，而且有望促进该类电池制备技术的进一步优化。

Abstract

The optical properties

surface chemistry and band energies of PbS colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) passivated with tetrabutylammonium iodide(PbS-TBAI) and 1

2-ethanedithiol(EDT) were analyzed by absorption spectroscopy

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry measurements. Also

the photovoltaic performance and air stability of PbS CQDs/ZnO nanoparticles heterojunction solar cells using PbS-TBAI

PbS-EDT and PbS-TBAI/PbS-EDT films as active layers respectively were investigated. The results showed that both TBAI and EDT ligands could achieve good ligand exchange with original oleic acid ligands on the surface of PbS CQDs

while a small number of residual oleic acid molecules remained in the PbS CQDs films. The conduction band minimum and valence band maximum of the PbS CQDs treated with TBAI are -3.86 eV and -5.12 eV

while they can be upshifted to -3.74 eV and -4.99 eV

respectively

for the PbS CQDs treated with EDT. The PbS-TBAI/PbS-EDT device exhibited the highest power conversion efficiency of 4.43% among these three type of devices. With the increase of air exposure time

the PbS-TBAI/PbS-EDT device exhibited similar performance evolution to the PbS-TBAI device and achieved its best performance after three days of air exposure. However

the PbS-EDT device showed poor air stability and its efficiency was reduced to a quarter of its initial value after three days of air exposure.This work is not only capable of deepening the understanding of the performance evolution of PbS-CQD solar cells

but also capable of guiding the further optimization of these devices.
