Description
본 발명은 태양전지에 사용하는 새로운 형태의 정공수송 물질인 HTM(Hole transporting material)을 포함한 고분자 전해질에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a polymer electrolyte including a hole transporting material (HTM), a new type of hole transport material used in solar cells.
화석연료의 고갈, 환경오염, CO2 및 SO2 발생 등으로 환경 및 에너지 문제로 인해, 태양에너지는 무한 청정 에너지로서 환경친화적인 차세대 대체에너지로서 각광 받고 있다. 태양전지는 태양광을 전류(전압)으로 직접 변환할 수 있는 소자로서, 기존의 무기물 반도체의 p-n junction을 이용한 p-n junction 태양전지 외 저가의 유기태양전지 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다. 유기태양전지의 장점은 저가, 환경 친화적인 면 이외에, in-door 응용 및 power window를 실현시킬 수 있는 투명하고, 얇고, 가벼운 특성을 가진다. 이러한 유기태양전지 중 가시광선을 흡수하는 염료(dye)를 넓은 밴드갭을 갖는 반도체에 흡착시켜 염료 감응과정(dye-sensitization)을 이용한 태양전지가 염료감응 태양전지(dye-sensitized solar cells, DSSCs)이다. Due to environmental and energy issues such as fossil fuel depletion, environmental pollution, CO2 and SO2 generation, solar energy is in the spotlight as the next generation of environmentally friendly alternative energy as infinitely clean energy. Solar cells are devices that can directly convert sunlight into current (voltage), and research on low-cost organic solar cells other than p-n junction solar cells using p-n junctions of existing inorganic semiconductors is actively underway. The advantages of organic solar cells, besides being inexpensive and environmentally friendly, are transparent, thin and light properties that can realize in-door applications and power windows. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are used for dye-sensitization solar cells using dye-sensitization by adsorbing dyes absorbing visible light in a semiconductor having a wide bandgap. to be.
DSSC는 1991년에 스위스 그라첼(Gratzel) 그룹에서 광학적으로 투명한 나노입자 크기 (15-20nm)를 가지는 TiO2 금속 산화물에 Ru(Ⅱ)계열의 착화합물을 흡착시켜 처음 개발한 것으로, 투명전극, 반도체층 금속산화물, 염료 광감응제, 전해질, 및 전극으로 구성되어 있다. DSSC was first developed in 1991 by the Gratzel Group, Switzerland, by adsorbing Ru (II) -based complexes on TiO2 metal oxides with optically transparent nanoparticle sizes (15-20 nm). It consists of a metal oxide, dye photosensitive agent, electrolyte, and an electrode.
이를 구체적으로 살펴보면, 양쪽 전극의 기판으로 사용되는 fluorinated tin oxide(FTO), indium tin oxide(ITO)와 같은 투명전극(transparent conducting oxide electrode)과 TiO2, ZnO 와 같은 nonoparticulated oxide semi-conductor layer, ruthenium과 같은 inorganic 또는 organic dye와 같은 dye-sensitizer, 전해질 및 산화/환원쌍(redox couple)이 포함된 전해질과 상대전극의 역할을 하는 백금과 같은 metallic catalysts로 성된다. Specifically, transparent conducting oxide electrodes such as fluorinated tin oxide (FTO) and indium tin oxide (ITO), and nonoparticulated oxide semi-conductor layers such as TiO2 and ZnO, ruthenium and It consists of dye-sensitizers such as inorganic or organic dyes, electrolytes containing electrolytes and redox couples, and metallic catalysts such as platinum that acts as counter electrodes.
염료감응 나노입자 산화물 태양전지의 작동원리는 태양 빛(가시광선)이 흡수되면 염료분자는 전자-홀 쌍을 생성하며, 전자는 반도체 산화물의 전도띠로 주입된다. 반도체 산화물 전극으로 주입된 전자는 나노입자간 계면을 통하여 투명 전도성 막으로 전달되어 전류를 발생시키게 된다. 염료 분자에 생산된 홀은 산화-환원 전해질에 의해 전자를 받아 다시 환원되어 염료감응 태양전지 작동 과정에 의해 태양전지가 완성된다. The principle of operation of dye-sensitized nanoparticle oxide solar cells is that when the sunlight (visible light) is absorbed, dye molecules generate electron-hole pairs, and electrons are injected into the conduction band of the semiconductor oxide. Electrons injected into the semiconductor oxide electrode are transferred to the transparent conductive film through the interface between the nanoparticles to generate a current. The holes produced in the dye molecules receive electrons by the redox electrolyte and are reduced again to complete the solar cell by operating the dye-sensitized solar cell.
그러나, 상기 염료감응 태양전지에 있어서, 주로 사용하는 전해질의 종류에는 액체전해질과 이온성액체 전해질이 있다. 하지만 다음과 같은 문제점을 노출시키고 있다. 즉 TiO2의 표면에 에스터 결합으로 흡착되어 있는 염료가 고온에서 요오드 이 온과 친핵성 치환반응을 하여 탈착될 수 있고, 밀봉이 잘되지 않을 경우 전해질 용액이 증발하거나 공기 중의 물분자나 산소분자가 침투하여 전해질과 반응함으로써 효율을 저하시킬 수 있어서 소자의 안정성에 문제가 생기거나, 하나의 지지체(substrate)에 여러 개의 전지를 화학적으로 분리시키면서 전기적으로 연결시킬 수 없으며, 강한 부식성이 있는 요오드의 크기는 약 0.2nm로 다공성 TiO2 뿐만 아니라 전극의 표면까지 도달할 수 있어 전극의 안정성에 문제가 된다.However, in the dye-sensitized solar cell, a kind of electrolyte mainly used includes a liquid electrolyte and an ionic liquid electrolyte. However, it exposes the following problems. That is, dyes adsorbed on the surface of TiO 2 by ester bonds can be desorbed by nucleophilic substitution reaction with iodine ions at high temperature, and if the sealing is not good, electrolyte solution evaporates or water molecules or oxygen molecules in the air penetrate. This can reduce the efficiency by reacting with the electrolyte, causing problems in the stability of the device, or can not be electrically connected while chemically separating a plurality of cells on a single substrate (substrate), the size of the strong corrosive iodine At about 0.2 nm, not only the porous TiO 2 but also the surface of the electrode can be reached, which is a problem in the stability of the electrode.
상기의 단점을 해소하기 위하여, 용액전해질에 유기 경화제를 첨가하여 고형화하는 방법, 고분자 중합체를 사용하여 고형화하는 방법, 고점도의 이온성 액체(ionic liquid)를 사용함으로써 준고상의 DSSC를 제조하는 방법, 그리고 유기물 HTM(hole transporting materials)을 전해질 대체로 하는 방법 등 DSSC를 고체화하는 기술 등이 있다. In order to solve the above disadvantages, a method of solidifying by adding an organic curing agent to a solution electrolyte, a method of solidifying using a high molecular polymer, a method of producing a semi-solid DSSC by using a high viscosity ionic liquid, In addition, there is a technique for solidifying DSSC, such as a method of replacing organic HTM (hole transporting materials) as an electrolyte.
고체 고분자 전해질은 주로 poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO),poly(propylene oxide)(PPO), ployphospazene, polysiloxane 등의 유도체가 있지만, 높은 분자량의 PEO는 높은 결정성(crystallinity)(~80%)을 갖게 되고, 이러한 높은 결정성은 상온에서 낮은 이온 전도도( ~S/cm)와 확산계수를 갖는 단점이 있다. 또 다른 방법으로는 젤 고분자 전해질(준고체 고분자 전해질)을 이용하는 방법이 있는데, 이는 고분자, 유기용매, 염으로 구성되는 시스템으로, 고체 고분자 내에 유기 전해액을 스며들게 한 것이다. 젤 고분자 전해질에서는 고분자가 화합 결합 또는 분자간 상호 작용에 의한 물리적 결합에 의해 3차원적 망상구조를 형서하기 때문에 필름 내에 용매 분자를 보유, 유지할 수 있는 팽윤체의 형태를 띠게 된다. 이들은 외형상으로는 고체 필름상태이지만, 분자수준에서는 고분자내 스며든 전해액에 의한 이온 전도도 값이 ~S/cm)와 이상이므로, 고체 고분자 전해질이 갖는 가공성 및 안정성과 액체 전해질의 높은 이온전도 특성을 모두 갖고 있지만, 기계적 강도가 약하며 여전히 밀봉의 문제점이 있으며 role to role 공정에 적용하기에 많은 어려움이 있다.Solid polymer electrolytes mainly contain derivatives such as poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO), poly (propylene oxide) (PPO), ployphospazene and polysiloxane, but high molecular weight PEO has high crystallinity (~ 80%). This high crystallinity has disadvantages of low ion conductivity (˜S / cm) and diffusion coefficient at room temperature. Another method is to use a gel polymer electrolyte (semi-solid polymer electrolyte), which is a system composed of a polymer, an organic solvent, and a salt, in which an organic electrolyte is infiltrated into a solid polymer. In the gel polymer electrolyte, since the polymer forms a three-dimensional network by physical bonds through compound bonds or intermolecular interactions, the gel polymer electrolyte has a swelling body capable of retaining and retaining solvent molecules in the film. They are in the form of a solid film on the outside, but at the molecular level, the ionic conductivity value of the electrolyte solution permeated into the polymer is greater than or equal to ~ S / cm). However, the mechanical strength is weak, there is still a problem of sealing and there are many difficulties in applying to the role to role process.
또 다른 방법으로는 유기물 HTM(Hole transporting materials) 전해질을 사용하는 방법이 있는데 HTM(Hole transporting materials)로 쓰이는 물질은 triarylamines, polythiophene, PEDOT, PANI-DBSA, OMe-TAD 등이 있다. triarylamines은 높은 charge carrier mobility를 지녔으며 낮은 온도에서도 녹는 특징이 있다. polythiophene은 thermally 과 environmentally 안정하며 solubility, electronic, electrochemical properties가 tuning 가능한 장점이 있다. 하지만 pore filling problem을 가지고 있다. PEDOT는 가시광선영역에서 높은 광투과성과 conductivity, 상온에서의 높은 안정성을 보여준다. PANI-DBSA는 높은 conductivity를 가지지만 S/cm이상의 high conductivity를 갖는 경우에는 Voc와 Jsc가 낮아지는 단점이 있다. OMe-TAD는 conductivity는 높지만 pore filling problem의 단점이 있다. 유기물 HTM의 장점은 role to role 공정이 가능하고 대면적화에 유리하며 가공성이 뛰어나다는 점이다. 하지만 가시광선의 빛을 흡수하여 효율을 저하 시키는 요소로 작용한다. Another method is to use organic HTM (Hole transporting materials) electrolyte, and the materials used as HTM (Hole transporting materials) include triarylamines, polythiophene, PEDOT, PANI-DBSA, OMe-TAD. Triarylamines have high charge carrier mobility and are soluble at low temperatures. Polythiophene is thermally and environmentally stable and has the advantage of tuning solubility, electronic and electrochemical properties. But there is a pore filling problem. PEDOT shows high light transmittance and conductivity in the visible region and high stability at room temperature. PANI-DBSA has high conductivity but Voc and Jsc are lowered when it has high conductivity of S / cm or more. OMe-TAD has high conductivity but has the disadvantage of pore filling problem. The advantage of organic HTM is that it can be role to role process, is advantageous for large area and excellent in processability. However, it absorbs visible light and acts as a factor to reduce efficiency.
본 발명의 목적은 상기의 전해질의 단점을 모두 해소할 수 있는 새로운 형태의 고체전해질을 제공하는 것에 목적이 있다.An object of the present invention is to provide a new type of solid electrolyte that can solve all the disadvantages of the electrolyte.
본 발명자들은 본 발명의 기술적 과제를 해결하기 위하여 노력한 결과, 각 성분을 한 번에 빠른 시간에 정량화 할 수는 것을 발견하고 본 발명을 완성하게 되었다.The present inventors have endeavored to solve the technical problem of the present invention and, as a result, have found that each component can be quantified at a time in a short time and have completed the present invention.
즉, 본 발명은 기존의 HTM형태의 전해질과 고분자 고체전해질의 구조를 모두 포함하는 새로운 형태의 고체전해질을 채택함으로써, 상기 문제점을 해소할 수 있는 매우 우수한 성능의 태양전지용 고체전해질을 제공할 수 있음을 알게 되어 본 발명을 완성하였다.That is, the present invention adopts a new type of solid electrolyte containing both the structure of the conventional HTM type electrolyte and the polymer solid electrolyte, thereby providing a solid electrolyte for a solar cell having a very good performance that can solve the above problems. The present invention has been completed.
본 발명은 다양한 조성비를 가지는 알킬렌옥시드-에피클로하드린의 공중합체를 주쇄로 하는 고분자화합물에 HTL물질을 측사슬에 접지(그라프트)하여 제조되는 새로운 형태의 고체전해질을 발명함으로써, 기존의 태양전지의 전해질을 대체함으로서, 우수한 성능의 전해질을 제공하고, 또한 이를 이용한 염료감응형 태양전지를 제공하는 것이다.The present invention by inventing a new type of solid electrolyte prepared by grounding (grafted) HTL material on the side chain to a polymer compound having a copolymer of alkylene oxide-epiclohadrin having various composition ratios as a main chain, By replacing the electrolyte of the solar cell, to provide an electrolyte of excellent performance, and to provide a dye-sensitized solar cell using the same.
화학식 1의 중합체에, 예를 들면, poly(ethylene oxide-co-epichlrohydrin)에 HTM(Hole transporting material)물질을 포함하는 copolymer형태를 통해 HTM(Hole transporting material)물질에 의한 poly(ethylene oxide-co-epichlrohydrin)의 결정성을 약화시켜 무정형의 영역을 증가시키고, free volume을 통해 무정형영역에서 일어나는 분자 사슬의 이동도를 높여 ionic conductivity 증가할 수 있다. The polymer of formula (I), e.g., poly (ethylene oxide- co -epichlrohydrin) in HTM (Hole transporting material) by HTM (Hole transporting material) material through a copolymer form poly (ethylene oxide- containing material co - It is possible to increase the ionic conductivity by decreasing the crystallinity of epichlrohydrin) and increasing the amorphous region and increasing the mobility of the molecular chain in the amorphous region through the free volume.
또한, HTM의 단점인 Pore filling problem을 억제를 작은 분자량의 HTM을 사용함으로써 TiO2계면까지 침투가 가능하여 Pore filling problem를 최소화가 가능하다. In addition, by using HTM of small molecular weight to suppress the Pore filling problem, which is a disadvantage of HTM, it is possible to penetrate to TiO2 interface and minimize the Pore filling problem.
또한 화학식 1에서 일어나는 분자 사슬의 이동과 HTM(Hole transporting material)에 의한 홀 전달현상으로 ionic conductivity의 효과가 더해져서 보다 높은 ionic conductivity의 실현으로 Voc (open-circuit-voltage) 및 Jsc (short-circuit-current)가 증가하여 광전환변환효율이 향상된다. In addition, the effect of ionic conductivity is added by the transport of molecular chain and hole transporting by HTM (Hole transporting material) in Equation 1, resulting in higher ionic conductivity. -current) is increased to improve the optical conversion efficiency.
또한 예를 들면 poly(ethylene oxide-co-epichlrohydrin)에서 일어나는 분자 사슬의 이동에 의한 ionic conductivity에 HTM(Hole transporting material)에 의한 홀전달현상으로 일어나는 ionic conductivity의 효과가 더해져서 보다 높은 ionic conductivity를 실현할 수 있다. 따라서, 염료감응태양전지의 개방전압(Voc; open-circuit-voltage) 및 단락전류(Jsc; short-circuit-current)가 증가하여 광전환변환효율이 향상된다. In addition, for example, ionic conductivity caused by the transport of molecular chains in poly (ethylene oxide- co- epichlrohydrin) is added to the effect of ionic conductivity caused by hole transporting by HTM (Hole transporting material) to realize higher ionic conductivity. Can be. Therefore, the open-circuit-voltage (Voc) and short-circuit-current (Jsc) of the dye-sensitized solar cell are increased to improve the light conversion conversion efficiency.
또한 LiI, KI등을 이용하여 젤 고분자 전해질에서 같은 높은 이온성 conductivity를 실현할 수 있으며, 소수성기 고분자 사슬에 접지된 HTM에 의해 TiO2계면과 요오드의 전해질에서 일어나는 recombination을 줄일 수 있고 더구나, 기존의 고체전해질이 가지는 대면적화에 유리할 뿐만 아니라 role-to-role 공정을 통해서 높은 사업성을 실현할 수 있다. 따라서, 염료감응태양전지의 개방전압(Voc; open-circuit-voltage) 및 단락전류(Jsc; short-circuit-current)가 증가하여 염료감응태양전지의 광전환변환효율이 향상된다. In addition, it is possible to realize the same high ionic conductivity in gel polymer electrolyte using LiI, KI, etc., and to reduce recombination in TiO2 interface and iodine electrolyte by HTM grounded to hydrophobic polymer chain. This branch is not only advantageous in large area, but also can realize high business feasibility through role-to-role process. Therefore, the open-circuit-voltage (Voc) and short-circuit-current (Jsc) of the dye-sensitized solar cell are increased to improve the light conversion conversion efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell.
