Abstract

The disclosure provides a precursor solution, a perovskite solar cell and a preparation method thereof. The solute of the precursor solution includes a metal halide, the solvent of the precursor solution is an organic solvent, and the precursor solution contains nanobubbles, which have a diameter not more than 1000 nm, and the zeta potential of the precursor solution does not exceed-20 mV. The method of preparing the precursor solution includes: (1) preparing an organic solvent containing nanobubbles; (2) dissolving a solute in the organic solvent containing nanobubbles. The precursor solution of the disclosure has a very low zeta potential, and the nanobubbles can exist stably in the organic solvent(s) for up to one month. When comparing with traditional methods for preparing the precursor solution of the perovskite cells, the method for preparing the precursor solution of the disclosure can effectively improve the stability, reproducibility and solubility of the metal halide in the organic solvent(s).
