Copper sulfide quantum dot/cuprous thiocyanate heterojunction photoelectric film and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor photoelectricity, and particularly relates to a copper sulfide quantum dot/cuprous thiocyanate heterojunction photoelectric film and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The cuprous thiocyanate (CuSCN) is a wide-bandgap (3.6 eV) p-type semiconductor, and has stable chemical properties, high film light transmittance and hole carrier mobility (0.01-0.1 cm)2V-1s-1) High and the like, and recently, the organic hole transporting layer or the photocathode material is used in the photoelectrochemical field (such as: photoelectrocatalytic decomposition of water, photocatalysis, solar cells, photovoltaic devices, sensors, etc.) are receiving great attention and are widely used. Has been proved to be useful as a hole transport material for dye-sensitized solar cells, perovskite solar cells and quantum dot-sensitized solar cells. However, CuSCN photovoltaic films have a high carrier recombination rate, which results in low photoelectric conversion efficiency. Therefore, it is critical to improve the properties of the CuSCN thin film as a hole transport layer, to increase the hole mobility at the CuSCN interface and to reduce the electron-hole recombination at the interface.
Obviously, constructing a heterojunction is an important means for effectively separating carriers, thereby inhibiting the recombination of electrons and holes and reducing dark current. In recent years, CuS has been found to absorb light well as a kind of lightA semiconductor material having good conductivity, capable of reacting with TiO2、ZnS、BiVO4And the like to form a heterojunction, and show good photoelectrochemical properties. In view of the fact that quantum dots have unique size effect and quantum effect, the CuS Quantum Dots (QDs) are loaded on the surface of the CuSCN film to construct the CuS QDs/CuSCN heterojunction film, so that the migration rate of photogenerated carriers can be improved, the photodegradation and the photo-corrosion of the CuSCN film are reduced, the photoelectrochemical property of the material is greatly improved, and the CuS/CuSCN heterojunction film becomes a hole transport material or a photocathode material with better application prospect.
Therefore, the invention provides a method for improving a CuSCN photoelectric film, which is to load CuS quantum dots on the surface of the CuSCN photoelectric film to construct and obtain a CuS QDs/CuSCN heterojunction photoelectric film so as to achieve the purpose of improving the photoelectrochemical property of the CuSCN photoelectric film.

According to the invention, CuS quantum dots are loaded on the surface of the CuSCN photoelectric film, so that the formed CuS/CuSCN heterojunction structure promotes the migration and separation of photon-generated carriers, the problem of high recombination rate of the photon-generated carriers of the CuSCN photoelectric film is solved to a greater extent, and the photoelectrochemical property of the cuprous thiocyanate photoelectric film is greatly improved.

(1) firstly, preparing and obtaining CuS quantum dots by a soft chemistry method, wherein the specific process comprises the following steps: firstly, sequentially dissolving surfactant polyvinylpyrrolidone and anhydrous copper acetate into deionized water according to a certain molar ratio (1-3: 1000), and dissolving the mixture in 70 partsoStirring for 30 minutes under the condition of C to form a copper acetate solution with the molar concentration of 0.1M; then at constant temperature 70oC, dropwise adding 0.1M thiourea solution into the copper acetate solution under the stirring condition, and continuously keeping the constant temperature of 70 ℃ after the dropwise addingoC stirring for 60 minutes and stoppingStopping heating; after the solution is naturally cooled to room temperature, the precipitate is collected by high-speed centrifugation, the precipitate is alternately cleaned for a plurality of times by deionized water and absolute ethyl alcohol, and finally the precipitate is put in a vacuum oven 50oDrying the mixture overnight under the condition of C to obtain the CuS quantum dots;
(2) on the basis of the obtained CuS quantum dot, a CdS quantum dot/CuSCN heterojunction photoelectric film is further prepared by an electrochemical deposition method, and the specific process is as follows: dispersing the obtained CuS quantum dots into deionized water to prepare a CuS quantum dot dispersion liquid with the concentration of 10-50 mg/L; then adding copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO)4∙5H2Dissolving O), Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid (EDTA) and potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) into the CuS quantum dot dispersion liquid in sequence according to a certain molar ratio (1: 1: 0.25), and stirring uniformly to obtain CuSO4The precursor solution is 12mM in concentration and contains CuS quantum dots with different concentrations; transferring the prepared precursor solution into an electrochemical reaction tank of a three-electrode system provided with a platinum wire counter electrode, a calomel reference electrode and cleaned FTO conductive glass, performing electrochemical deposition on the surface of the conductive glass by using an electrochemical workstation, controlling the deposition potential to be-0.1-0.4V, and controlling the deposition electric quantity to be 20-80 mC/cm2After the electrochemical deposition is finished, the conductive glass is taken out and washed by deionized water for 3 times at 60oAnd drying the film in a vacuum oven to obtain the CuS quantum dot/CuSCN heterojunction photoelectric film.

FIG. 1 is an XRD spectrum of CuSCN and CuS QDs/CuSCN films prepared in example 1. As can be seen from the figure, the characteristic diffraction peak of the CuSCN photoelectric thin film prepared by the electrochemical deposition method at 2 θ = 16.16 ° corresponds to the (003) crystal plane of the β -CuSCN crystal phase structure (JCPDS card No.29-0581), and the rest diffraction peaks are the diffraction peaks of the FTO conductive glass substrate, which proves that the CuSCN photoelectric thin film is successfully prepared; the XRD pattern of the CuS QDs/CuSCN heterojunction photoelectric film is basically consistent with that of a pure CuSCN photoelectric film, only the intensity of a diffraction peak is slightly reduced, and a characteristic diffraction peak of CuS is not observed, which is probably because the loading amount of CuS quantum dots on the surface of CuSCN is too small.
FIG. 2 is a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image of (a) CuSCN and (b) CuS QDs/CuSCN thin films prepared in example 1, and (c) and (d) are a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) image and a high resolution TEM image of the CuS QDs/CuSCN thin films. In FIG. 2 (a), it can be seen that the pure CuSCN film is a uniform and closely-arranged nanorod array (with a diameter of about 90 nm), and in FIG. 2 (b), it can be seen that the CuS QDs/CuSCN surface is still a closely-arranged nanorod array, which proves that the loading of the CuS QDs does not change the morphology of the CuSCN nanorods. In order to further explore the existence mode of CuS QDs and CuSCN, a transmission electron microscope test is carried out on the sample. In a transmission electron microscope picture (fig. 2 c), it can be seen that CuS quantum dot particles with the particle size of 2-4 nm are relatively uniformly distributed on the surface of the prepared CuSCN nanorod, and CuS QDs are tightly bonded on the surface of the CuSCN nanorod to form a heterojunction structure; the high-power TEM image (FIG. 2 d) can clearly observe two different lattice fringes of CuS and CuSCN, and further confirms that the tightly combined CuS QDs/CuSCN heterojunction photoelectric thin film is successfully prepared.
FIG. 3 is a ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra of (a) Cu 2p and (b) S2 p X of the CuSCN film prepared in example 1, and (c) Cu 2p and (d) S2 p XPS spectra of the CuS QDs/CuSCN film. The Cu 2p XPS spectrum of the CuSCN film (FIG. 3 (a)) appeared at 952.4 eV (Cu 2 p)3/2) And 932.5 eV (Cu 2 p)1/2) Two characteristic peaks of (2), respectively belonging to the cuprous ion (Cu) of CuSCN film+) (ii) a The Cu 2p XPS spectrum of the CuS QDs/CuSCN film (FIG. 3 (c)) is shown to exclude cuprous ions (Cu) corresponding to the CuSCN film+) At 952.4 eV (Cu 2 p)3/2) And 932.5 eV (Cu 2 p)1/2) In addition to the two characteristic peaks, a new characteristic peak at 933.1 eV appears, which is located in association with the divalent copper ion (Cu)2+) Cu 2p of3/2Consistent peak positions are expected, attributed to divalent copper ions (Cu) of CuS quantum dots2+). Meanwhile, S2 p XPS spectrum (FIG. 3 (b)) of CuSCN film appeared at 164.4 eV and 163.2 eTwo characteristic peaks of V, separated by about 1.2 eV, are considered to be the presence of sulfur atoms in the CuSCN film in the S-C form; the S2 p XPS spectrum of the CuS QDs/CuSCN film (FIG. 3 (d)) shows a new characteristic peak at 161.5 eV, which is attributed to the Cu-S characteristic peak of the CuS quantum dot. XPS test results further demonstrate that CuS QDs/CuSCN films are synthesized.
FIG. 4 shows the UV LED lamp (λ = 365 nm, 300W/m intensity) of CuSCN and CuS QDs/CuSCN films prepared in example 12) And (3) chopping photocurrent response spectrogram under illumination condition. According to the graph, the CuSCN and the CuS QDs/CuSCN thin films have obvious photoelectric response characteristics under illumination, the photocurrent generated by the CuS QDs/CuSCN thin films is obviously greater than that of the CuSCN thin films, and the average photocurrent is about 2 times of that of the CuSCN thin films, so that the CuS QDs/CuSCN heterojunction can greatly improve the photon-generated carrier migration rate and the photoelectrochemical property of the CuSCN thin films.
FIG. 5 shows the UV LED lamp (λ = 365 nm, 300W/m intensity) prepared in example 1 with CuSCN and CuS QDs/CuSCN films2) Photoelectrochemical properties under light conditions: (a) chopped linear cyclic voltammetry (CLV) spectra, (b) Mott-Schottky (Mott-Schottky) spectra, (c) Electrochemical Impedance (EIS) spectra. From the CLV test result of FIG. 5 (a), in the region from-0.3V to-0.05V, under the condition of almost constant dark current, the photocurrent of the CuS QDs/CuSCN thin film is obviously increased during illumination, which shows that the introduction of the CuS QDs greatly reduces the self-recombination process of CuSCN photo-generated carriers, and effectively promotes the migration of the photo-generated carriers and the interface photoelectrochemical reaction. From the Mott-Schottky (Mott-Schottky) spectrum (fig. 5 (b)), it can be seen that the slopes of the Mott-Schottky curves of the CuSCN photovoltaic thin film and the CuS QDs/CuSCN heterojunction photovoltaic thin film are negative values, which proves that the synthesized CuSCN photovoltaic thin film and the CuS QDs/CuSCN heterojunction photovoltaic thin film are both p-type semiconductor characteristics, and also shows that the p-type semiconductor characteristics of the CuSCN photovoltaic thin film are not changed by the CuS QDs/CuSCN heterojunction structure formed by introducing the CuS QDs; furthermore, the flat band potential of CuS QDs/CuSCN is negatively shifted with respect to CuSCN, which means that the Fermi level is reduced for p-type semiconductor, which is advantageousThe electron transition is beneficial to separating the photo-generated electrons from the holes. FIG. 5 (c) is an impedance spectrum of the CuSCN film and the CuS QDs/CuSCN film under illumination, and it can be seen that a semi-circular arc of a high-frequency region of the CuS QDs/CuSCN film in the EIS spectrum is smaller than a semi-circular arc of the CuSCN film, and a radius of the semi-circular arc reflects a charge transfer impedance of a photo-generated carrier, indicating that under the same experimental conditions, an interface transfer impedance value of the photo-generated carrier generated by the CuS QDs/CuSCN film receiving illumination is obviously smaller than that of the CuSCN film. From the CLV, Mott-schottky and EIS results, compared with the CuSCN film, the photogenerated carriers of the CuS QDs/CuSCN heterojunction film are easier to jump and can be rapidly transmitted under the same condition, and the self-recombination of the photogenerated carriers is effectively reduced, so that the photoelectrochemical property is finally improved.
The test result shows that the CuSCN photoelectric film is modified by introducing the CuS quantum dot mode to prepare the CuS quantum dot/CuSCN heterojunction photoelectric film; and the formed CuS quantum dot/CuSCN heterojunction structure does not change the p-type semiconductor characteristic of CuSCN, can improve the photoelectrochemical property of the CuSCN photoelectric film to a great extent, proves that the loaded CuS quantum dot is an effective means for improving the photoelectrochemical property of the p-type CuSCN, and promotes the photoelectrochemical application thereof.
