Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of solar cells, in particular to a flexible carbon fiber-based dye-sensitized solar cell counter electrode material and a preparation method thereof. In particular to a preparation method of a counter electrode material applicable to a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC).
Background
With the continuous development of world economy, the human society has more and more demands on energy, and the development and utilization of new energy become a hotspot of research in a plurality of fields. How to convert solar energy into electrical energy or other forms of energy at low cost and efficiently is a significant challenge facing scientists.
The main structure of the DSSC comprises a photo anode, a dye molecule, an electrolyte, a counter electrode and the like. The operation of the DSSC is essentially a continuous cycle of photoelectrochemical reactions. The chemical reaction of the battery mainly occurs in two regions: firstly, the interface surface of the photo-anode and the electrolyte is arranged; the other occurs at the contact interface of the counter electrode and the electrolyte. The rate of the electrochemical reaction is closely related to the nature of the electrocatalyst, which is typically composed of a conductive substrate and catalytic layer materials. The main function of the conductive substrate is to collect electrons from an external circuit; the catalytic layer material mainly has the functions of providing catalytic active sites for redox electron pairs in the electrolyte, promoting the cyclic regeneration of redox electrolytic pairs and further promoting the cyclic regeneration of dye molecules in the photoanode. At present, platinum is the most commonly used catalyst of the DSSC counter electrode, and other commonly used non-platinum catalytic materials comprise carbon materials, conductive polymers, carbides, sulfides, nitrides of transition metals and the like. Generally, the following three conditions are required as a counter electrode material: the electrolyte has good chemical stability and does not react with redox substances in the electrolyte; the conductive performance is excellent, and the rapid transmission of electrons is facilitated; and the catalyst has better catalytic reduction capability on the electrolyte. Although the photoelectric performance of DSSCs has been greatly improved over twenty years, there is some work in the process of practical implementation that requires further improvement. Traditional flat-plate dye-sensitized solar cells (PDSSCs) based on a hard substrate are limited in portable application due to poor external force resistance and large space limitation. The flexible fiber dye-sensitized solar cells (FDSSCs) can be woven into wearable flexible functional devices such as clothes and caps, and become a research hotspot in the photovoltaic field. Currently, commercial Pt wires are used as the typical counter electrodes of the FDSSCs, but the counter electrodes are too expensive to be manufactured, which is not favorable for commercialization of the FDSSCs.
Electrospinning is a spinning technology developed based on the principle that high-speed jet is generated by conductive fluid under a high-voltage electrostatic field, and is different from the conventional method, and the spun nanofiber has a thin diameter and a large specific surface area.
