The preparation method of the screen-printable carbon paste and the high-conductivity carbon electrode comprises the following steps:
1) Preparation of carbon slurry: mixing conductive carbon materials in proportion, wherein the conductive carbon materials comprise graphite flakes, carbon black and carbon fibers; adding ethyl cellulose and zirconia as binders, putting into a baking oven for baking, cooling to room temperature, adding turpentine permeant as a solvent, fully stirring, and uniformly mixing to obtain carbon slurry;
2) Preparation of a carbon electrode: and (3) performing screen printing on the carbon slurry in the step 1) to form the high-conductivity carbon electrode after high-temperature sintering.
As preferable: in the step 1), the mass ratio of the carbon fiber, the carbon black and the graphite flake is 1-2:2:6.
As preferable: in the step 1), the drying temperature of the oven is 50-250 ℃ and the drying time is 30-90 min.
As preferable: in the step 1), the specification of the carbon fiber is as follows: the diameter is 100 nm-300 nm, the specific surface area is 1-50 g/cm 3 The length is 5-100 μm. The carbon fiber is vapor grown chopped carbon fiber, and has good mechanical property and high conductivity. In addition, the wettability of the carbon fiber and the perovskite precursor liquid is better than that of graphite flake and carbon black. The scaly graphite layers overlap, which hinders the infiltration process of perovskite precursor liquid. When carbon fibers are inserted into the graphite sheets, a bridge for connection is erected between the graphite sheets, and the carbon electrode is dredged by the perovskite precursor liquid. Therefore, the addition of the carbon fiber reduces the residue of the perovskite precursor liquid in the carbon electrode, so that the perovskite precursor liquid is more fully filled in the mesoporous bracket layer, and more effective light absorption is generated.
As preferable: in the step 1), the solid content of the conductive carbon material of the carbon slurry is 10-50%.
As preferable: in the step 1), the mixing and stirring time in the preparation process of the carbon slurry is 30-120 min.
As preferable: in the step 2), the thickness of the prepared carbon electrode is 10-30 μm.
As preferable: in the step 2), the high-temperature sintering temperature is 300-450 ℃.
As preferable: in the step 2), after the sintering is completed, the temperature is not reduced to room temperature, but the carbon electrode is taken out at 50-150 ℃.
As preferable: step 2) is followed by step 3) of preparing the perovskite solar cell: sequentially depositing a compact layer, a titanium oxide mesoporous layer, a zirconium oxide mesoporous layer and a carbon electrode layer on FTO glass, uniformly distributing perovskite precursor solution in the titanium oxide mesoporous layer and the zirconium oxide mesoporous layer through the flow guide of the carbon electrode layer, heating to form a perovskite light absorption layer, and forming an independent perovskite film layer between the carbon electrode layer and the zirconium oxide mesoporous layer to prepare a perovskite solar cell, wherein the perovskite solar cell structure sequentially comprises the compact layer, the titanium oxide mesoporous layer, the perovskite light absorption layer, the zirconium oxide mesoporous layer, the perovskite film layer and the carbon electrode layer from bottom to top; the thickness of the perovskite film layer is 100 nm-300 nm; the compact layer is a metal oxide film, the material is at least one of titanium oxide and its adulterants, zinc oxide and its adulterants, cobalt oxide and its adulterants or nickel oxide and its adulterants, and the thickness of the compact layer is 30-50 nm.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows: according to the invention, the carbon fiber is added into the carbon slurry, so that on one hand, the conductivity of the carbon electrode is improved, on the other hand, the conductivity of the carbon electrode is improved, more perovskite precursor solution is guided to be uniformly filled between mesoporous bracket layers, and an independent perovskite film layer is formed between the carbon electrode layer and the zirconia mesoporous layer, so that a battery structure is formed, the cost is low, the preparation process is simple, and the conversion efficiency of the perovskite solar cell is improved.
