Abstract  

The fluid dynamic behavior of halide perovskite precursor solutions during thin-film formation was systematically elucidated, and a unified theoretical framework for regulating solute transport, evaporation dynamics, and crystallization evolution was established. Rheological measurements, kinetic analysis, and numerical simulations of representative coating processes were combined to characterize velocity distributions and concentration migration during the stages of viscous flow, interfacial spreading, and evaporation-induced solidification. In addition, particle image velocimetry and interfacial tracking techniques enabled coordinated observation of flow-field structures, evaporation front positions, and crystal orientation. The results indicated that the solvent system, shear conditions, and interfacial properties were key variables governing solute distribution and crystallization pathways, and the appropriate control of evaporation gradients and interfacial energy could effectively suppress the coffee-ring effect. Overall, a systematic mechanistic framework spanning solution engineering, process control, interfacial regulation, and structural characterization was established, providing a predictable and designable pathway for achieving highly uniform, low-defect perovskite thin films and a theoretical basis for the controlled fabrication of solution-processed perovskite optoelectronic materials.

力-化耦合在高效钙钛矿光电薄膜制造中的应用研究进展

旨在系统阐述卤化物钙钛矿前驱体溶液在成膜过程中的流体动力学行为,构建可用于调控溶质输运、蒸发动态与结晶演化的统一理论框架. 通过流变测试、动力学分析与典型涂布工艺的数值模拟相结合的方法,表征溶液在黏性流动、界面铺展与蒸发固化阶段的速度分布和浓度迁移特征,并借助粒子成像测速及界面追踪技术,实现对流场结构、蒸发前沿位置与晶体取向的协同观察. 结果表明,溶剂体系、剪切条件与界面性质是决定溶质分布与结晶路径的关键变量;适度调控蒸发梯度和界面能有效抑制咖啡环效应. 综上,建立了贯穿溶液工程、工艺调控、界面调节与结构表征的系统化机制框架,能为实现高均匀性、低缺陷的钙钛矿薄膜提供可预测、可设计的调控路径,并为溶液法加工钙钛矿光电材料的可调控制造奠定理论基础.
