Abstract
Description
本発明は、多孔質膜の製造方法、多孔質膜、色素増感太陽電池に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing a porous film, a porous film, and a dye-sensitized solar cell.
従来、ガラスや金属などの基材上に、セラミックスや半導体微粒子などの無機材料からなる多孔質膜を形成する方法としては、基材上に、無機物質の微粒子およびバインダー樹脂を含む分散液を塗布し、これを乾燥させて分散媒を除去した後、数百℃で焼成することにより、微粒子同士を結着させるとともに、バインダー樹脂を焼失させることにより、微粒子間に空隙を形成して、多孔質膜を得る方法が用いられている。この分散液を用いる方法では、分散液中のバインダー樹脂の含有量を調整することにより、焼成後の多孔質膜における空隙率を制御することができる。
しかしながら、この分散液を用いる方法では、数百℃の高温処理が必要であるため、基材として、熱に弱いプラスチック基材や低融点の金属基材、あるいは熱処理によって物性が劣化する部位を有する基材を用いることは難しかった。
これに対して、高温処理を必要としないセラミックス緻密膜の形成方法であるエアロゾルデポジション法が開示されている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
また、無機物質の微粒子およびバインダー樹脂を含む分散液を焼成した後、これを粉砕することにより、前もって多孔質粒子を調製し、その多孔質粒子をエアロゾル原料としたエアロゾルデポジション法によって基材上に多孔質膜を形成する方法が開示されている（例えば、特許文献２参照）。
Conventionally, as a method of forming a porous film made of an inorganic material such as ceramics or semiconductor fine particles on a substrate such as glass or metal, a dispersion containing fine particles of an inorganic substance and a binder resin is applied on the substrate. Then, after drying this to remove the dispersion medium, the fine particles are bonded together by firing at several hundred degrees Celsius, and the binder resin is burned off, thereby forming voids between the fine particles, and porous A method of obtaining a film is used. In the method using this dispersion, the porosity in the fired porous film can be controlled by adjusting the content of the binder resin in the dispersion.
However, since this method using a dispersion requires high-temperature treatment of several hundred degrees C., the substrate has a plastic substrate that is weak against heat, a metal substrate having a low melting point, or a portion whose physical properties deteriorate due to heat treatment. It was difficult to use a substrate.
On the other hand, an aerosol deposition method, which is a method for forming a ceramic dense film that does not require high-temperature treatment, has been disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

Discloses a method of forming a porous film (for example, see Patent Document 2).
エアロゾルデポジション法では、脆性材料の粒子をガス中に分散させてなるエアロゾルを亜音速で基材上に吹き付けて、衝突の際に運動エネルギーで脆性変形した粒子同士が結着することによって、焼成法や物理蒸着法と同等の強度を有する構造体を形成することができる。しかしながら、エアロゾルデポジション法を用いただけでは、緻密な（空隙率の低い）多孔質膜しか形成することができず、用途等に応じて、多孔質膜の空隙率を高くすることが困難であるという課題があった。 In the aerosol deposition method, an aerosol consisting of particles of brittle material dispersed in a gas is sprayed onto the substrate at subsonic speed, and the particles that are brittlely deformed by kinetic energy at the time of collision are bonded together. A structure having the same strength as that of a physical vapor deposition method or a physical vapor deposition method can be formed. However, if only the aerosol deposition method is used, only a dense (low porosity) porous film can be formed, and it is difficult to increase the porosity of the porous film depending on the application. There was a problem.

＜多孔質膜の製造方法、多孔質膜＞
（第一実施形態）
本実施形態の多孔質膜の製造方法は、不溶性粒子と可溶性粒子を基材に吹き付けて、基材上に不溶性粒子からなる不溶部と可溶性粒子からなる可溶部から構成される混合膜を形成し、可溶部を溶解除去し、多孔質膜を形成する方法である。
<Method for producing porous membrane, porous membrane>
(First embodiment)
The method for producing a porous membrane according to the present embodiment sprays insoluble particles and soluble particles onto a substrate to form a mixed membrane composed of an insoluble portion composed of insoluble particles and a soluble portion composed of soluble particles on the substrate. Then, the soluble part is dissolved and removed to form a porous film.
本実施形態における基材としては、不溶性粒子と可溶性粒子を高速で基材に吹き付けることにより、基材上に上記の混合膜を形成可能なものであれば、特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、ガラス基材、各種プラスチックからなる基材、各種金属からなる基材等が挙げられる。
また、基材とは、板状、フィルム状、シート状のもの等が挙げられる。
また、基材の形状は、特に限定されるものではなく、不溶性粒子と可溶性粒子を高速で基材に吹き付けることにより、基材上に上記の混合膜を形成可能な形状であればいかなる形状であってもよい。
The substrate in the present embodiment is not particularly limited as long as the above-described mixed film can be formed on the substrate by spraying insoluble particles and soluble particles onto the substrate at a high speed. , Glass substrates, substrates made of various plastics, substrates made of various metals, and the like.
Examples of the substrate include a plate shape, a film shape, and a sheet shape.
In addition, the shape of the substrate is not particularly limited, and any shape can be used as long as the mixed film can be formed on the substrate by spraying insoluble particles and soluble particles onto the substrate at a high speed. There may be.
基材に不溶性粒子と可溶性粒子を吹き付ける方法（以下、「吹き付け法」と略記する。）としては、公知の方法が用いられるが、例えば、溶射法、コールドスプレー法、エアロゾルデポジション法（以下、「ＡＤ法」と略記する。）等が挙げられる。 As a method for spraying insoluble particles and soluble particles onto a substrate (hereinafter abbreviated as “spraying method”), a known method is used. For example, a spraying method, a cold spray method, an aerosol deposition method (hereinafter, referred to as “deposition method”). Abbreviated as “AD method”).
溶射法とは、溶射材（本実施形態では、不溶性粒子と可溶性粒子）を加熱して基材に吹き付け、基材上に薄膜（本実施形態では、混合膜）を形成する技術である。溶射材を加熱するための熱源としては、燃焼炎やプラズマが用いられ、これらの熱により液滴状あるいは微粒子状にされた溶射材が、高速のガス流等によって基材に吹き付けられる。液滴状あるいは微粒子状にされた溶射材が、基材上で凝固し密着することにより、薄膜が形成される。 The thermal spraying method is a technique in which a thermal spray material (in this embodiment, insoluble particles and soluble particles) is heated and sprayed onto a base material to form a thin film (in this embodiment, a mixed film) on the base material. A combustion flame or plasma is used as a heat source for heating the thermal spray material, and the thermal spray material made into droplets or fine particles by these heats is sprayed onto the substrate by a high-speed gas flow or the like. A thin film is formed by the sprayed material in the form of droplets or fine particles solidifying and adhering on the substrate.
コールドスプレー法とは、粉末材料（本実施形態では、不溶性粒子と可溶性粒子）を溶融温度以下の固相状態で基材に衝突させて、基材上に薄膜（本実施形態では、混合膜）を形成する技術である。 In the cold spray method, a powder material (in this embodiment, insoluble particles and soluble particles) is collided with a base material in a solid state at a melting temperature or lower, and a thin film (mixed film in this embodiment) is formed on the base material. Is a technology to form
ＡＤ法とは、ヘリウム、アルゴン、窒素等の不活性ガスからなる搬送ガスによって、原料粒子（本実施形態では、不溶性粒子と可溶性粒子）を亜音速〜超音速程度まで加速させ、基材に原料粒子を高速で吹き付けて、原料粒子と基材、または、原料粒子同士を接合させて、基材上に薄膜を形成する技術である。
基材表面に衝突した原料粒子は、少なくともその一部が基材表面に食い込んで、容易には剥離しない状態となる。さらに、吹き付けを継続することにより、基材表面に食い込んだ原料粒子に対して、別の微粒子が衝突し、原料粒子同士の衝突によって、互いの原料粒子表面に新生面が形成されて、主にこの新生面において原料粒子同士が接合する。この原料粒子同士の衝突においては、原料粒子が溶融するような温度上昇は生じ難いため、原料粒子同士が接合した界面には、ガラス質からなる粒界層は実質的に存在しない。そして、原料粒子の吹き付けを継続することにより、次第に、基材表面に多数の原料粒子が接合して、緻密な薄膜が形成される。形成された薄膜は、充分な強度を有するので、焼成による焼き締めが不要である。
In the AD method, raw material particles (in this embodiment, insoluble particles and soluble particles) are accelerated from subsonic to supersonic speed by a carrier gas composed of an inert gas such as helium, argon, nitrogen, etc. In this technique, particles are sprayed at a high speed to form a thin film on the base material by joining the raw material particles and the base material or the raw material particles.
At least part of the raw material particles that collide with the surface of the base material bite into the surface of the base material and are not easily peeled off. Furthermore, by continuing the spraying, another fine particle collides with the raw material particles that have digged into the surface of the base material, and a new surface is formed on the surface of the raw material particles due to the collision between the raw material particles. The raw material particles are joined to each other on the new surface. In the collision between the raw material particles, a temperature rise that causes the raw material particles to melt hardly occurs, and therefore, a grain boundary layer made of vitreous substantially does not exist at the interface where the raw material particles are joined to each other. Then, by continuing the spraying of the raw material particles, a large number of raw material particles are gradually joined to the surface of the base material to form a dense thin film. Since the formed thin film has sufficient strength, baking by baking is unnecessary.
ＡＤ法としては、例えば、「国際公開第ＷＯ０１／２７３４８Ａ１号パンフレット」に開示されている超微粒子ビーム堆積法、「特許第３２６５４８１号公報」に開示されている脆性材料超微粒子低温成形法が用いられる。
これらの公知のＡＤ法では、吹き付ける原料粒子をボールミルなどで前処理することにより、クラックが入るか入らないか程度の内部歪を原料粒子に予め加えておくことが重要であるとしている。この内部歪を加えておくことによって、吹き付けられた微粒子が、基材または既に堆積した原料粒子に衝突する際に破砕や変形を起こし易くすることができ、この結果、より緻密な膜を形成できる、としている。
As the AD method, for example, the ultrafine particle beam deposition method disclosed in “International Publication No. WO01 / 27348A1 pamphlet” and the brittle material ultrafine particle low temperature molding method disclosed in “Patent No. 32655481” are used. .
In these known AD methods, it is important that the raw material particles are pre-treated with a ball mill or the like so as to preliminarily apply an internal strain to the raw material particles to determine whether or not cracks will occur. By adding this internal strain, the sprayed fine particles can be easily crushed or deformed when colliding with the base material or the already deposited raw material particles, and as a result, a denser film can be formed. , And.

次いで、このペーストをるつぼに移して、１２０℃で乾燥し、空気雰囲気下、５００℃で３０分間熱処理した。
実施例１と同様にして、得られた焼成体の空隙率を測定したところ、１５．４％であった。
次いで、焼成体を乳鉢で粉砕し、多孔質粒子を調製した。
[Comparative Example 3]
(Preparation of mixed particles)
Titanium oxide particles having a particle diameter of 20 nm, ethanol, and a binder (ethyl cellulose, number average molecular weight 40000) are weighed so as to have a mass ratio of 20:70:10, and these materials are mixed until uniform. Pastes made of these materials were prepared.
Next, the paste was transferred to a crucible, dried at 120 ° C., and heat-treated at 500 ° C. for 30 minutes in an air atmosphere.
When the porosity of the obtained fired body was measured in the same manner as in Example 1, it was 15.4%.
Next, the fired body was pulverized in a mortar to prepare porous particles.
（ＡＤ法を用いた多孔質膜を有する基材の作製）
比較例１と同様にして、酸化チタンの多孔質粒子からなる多孔質膜の成膜を試みた。
しかしながら、透明導電層上に多孔質膜が形成されず、圧粉体のままであった。結果を表１に示す。
(Preparation of a substrate having a porous film using the AD method)
In the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, an attempt was made to form a porous film made of titanium oxide porous particles.
However, no porous film was formed on the transparent conductive layer, and the green compact remained as it was. The results are shown in Table 1.
以上の結果から、実施例１〜３では、不溶性粒子と可溶性粒子の混合比を調整することにより、多孔質膜の空隙率を、８．２〜４５％の範囲に制御できることが確認された。一方、比較例１、２では、不溶性粒子のみを用いているため、多孔質膜の空隙率を、２．９〜４．６％にしか制御できないことが確認された。このように、本発明によれば、多孔質膜の空隙率の制御の幅を広くできることが確認された。
また、実施例１の多孔質膜では、空隙率の向上によって、色素増感太陽電池として良好な光電変換効率を得ることができた。一方、実施例２と実施例３では、多孔質膜の空隙が過剰となり、かえって色素の吸着サイトが減少したため、短絡電流密度（Ｊｓｃ）が低下した。しかしながら、多孔質膜の空隙率が高くなるに従って、色素増感太陽電池の内部抵抗を反映する曲線因子（ＦＦ）が明らかに改善されているのは、電解質拡散パスが拡大したことによるものと考えられる。
From the above results, in Examples 1 to 3, it was confirmed that the porosity of the porous membrane can be controlled in the range of 8.2 to 45% by adjusting the mixing ratio of the insoluble particles and the soluble particles. On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, since only insoluble particles were used, it was confirmed that the porosity of the porous film could be controlled only to 2.9 to 4.6%. Thus, according to the present invention, it was confirmed that the control range of the porosity of the porous membrane can be widened.
Moreover, in the porous film of Example 1, the favorable photoelectric conversion efficiency as a dye-sensitized solar cell was able to be obtained by the improvement of the porosity. On the other hand, in Example 2 and Example 3, the voids in the porous film became excessive, and the adsorption sites of the dye decreased on the contrary, so that the short circuit current density (Jsc) was reduced. However, as the porosity of the porous film increases, the fill factor (FF) that reflects the internal resistance of the dye-sensitized solar cell is clearly improved because the electrolyte diffusion path is expanded. It is done.
