In the dye-sensitized solar cell of this type, it is necessary to react a redox pair (for example, ruthenium, etc.) present in the electrolyte on the surface of the electrode to rapidly become a reducing body by an oxidant (for example, a reaction of l3^2e_ = 3r) It has the opposite pole of the #Media function. The counter electrode can be used by supporting platinum having a high catalytic energy on a conductive substrate having a conductive film [e.g., ITO (indium tin oxide), SiiO, etc.]. As a method of carrying the platinum, a sputtering method (see Patent Document 1) and a steaming method (see Patent Document 2) can be generally used. However, when these methods are considered to be mass-produced and large-area, devices requiring a large vacuum chamber have low productivity and high equipment costs, and the manufacturing cost cannot be reduced. Furthermore, it has been reported that the platinum produced by these methods is dissolved in an iodine electrolyte without durability. In other methods, Patent Document 3 discloses a method of plating platinum particles on a surface of a conductive layer -4- 200824170 (2). However, in this method, since the platinum particles are supported by particles, it is considered that the adhesion strength is low and the durability is also problematic. Furthermore, this method uses a strong acid of nitrate as an electrolyte, and is plated under strong acidity, and is used for a substrate or a metal substrate of a weakly acidic conductive film (for example, ITO, SnO, etc.), which dissolves the conductive film and dissolves the substrate. And other issues. ^ In addition, when electroplating or electroless plating is performed on a metal material, the oxide film on the surface of the metal material must be removed by acid treatment, and the pretreatment step φ is also complicated, causing harmful substances and environmental problems. [Patent Document 1] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2000-163680 (Patent Document 2) Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2000-3 63 No. In order to solve the above problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a method for producing an electrode having a more excellent platinum film, and in particular, a method for producing an electrode having a platinum film as a counter electrode of a dye-sensitized solar cell is Question. As a result of the inventors of the present invention, it has been found that a platinum aqueous solution of Ρ 2 or more is used as an electrolytic solution for electroplating, and a platinum film having a sufficient adhesion strength and uniformity is formed on the conductive film. this invention. That is, the manufacturing method of the electrode having the platinum film of the present invention is carried out in the following steps: -5- 200824170 (3) (a) Preparation steps of the cathode, the anode, the electrolyte, and the power source, which are laminated a substrate having a conductive film as a cathode, and a platinum aqueous solution having a pH of 2 or higher as a preparation step of the electrolytic solution; (b) connecting the cathode to a negative electrode (-pole) of the power source, the anode being connected to a positive electrode of the power source (+ pole) At the same time, a step of forming a platinum film on the conductive film of the cathode by immersing the two electrodes in the electric solution and applying a voltage between the electrodes, and #(c) forming the platinum The step of taking out the cathode of the membrane. Further, the present invention is characterized by the use of an electrode manufactured by the method as a dye-enhanced solar cell. According to the present invention, it is possible to form a platinum film on the conductive film in a short time by using an electrode made of an electroplating method in an aqueous solution of platinum, such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or the like, which is weak in acidity. The electroplating method is a low-cost manufacturing method compared to the conventional beach plating method, and contributes to the manufacturing cost of the dye-sensitized solar cell. Furthermore, the formed platinum film is more durable than those formed by the ® sputtering method, and contributes to the manufacture of a durable dye-modified solar cell. [Embodiment] (1) Step U) This step is a preparation step of a cathode, an anode, an electrolyte, and a power source which are necessary for the production method of the present invention. (i) Electrolyte 200824170 (4) The electrolytic solution used in the method of the present invention is a platinum aqueous solution having a pH of 2 or more. The platinum compound used in the aqueous platinum solution of the present invention is as long as it is suitable for any of the electroplating, but potassium tetrachloroplatinum (K2PtCl4), dichlorotetramine platinum (II) [Pt (NH3)4Cl2 · H20], * Dinitrodiamine platinum (II) [Pt(N02)2(NH3)2], hexachloroplatinum (IV) acid 6 hydrate [H2PtCl6 · 6H20], hexamine white gold ( IV) A water-soluble divalent or tetravalent platinum compound such as methanesulfonate Φ [Pt(NH3)6(CH3S03)4] is particularly suitable. The concentration of each platinum compound may be suitably from 0.1 to 10 g/L in terms of the weight of platinum, and preferably from 1.5 to 2.5 g/L. Further, if necessary, an additive such as a reducing agent or a hydroxylamine salt may be added as a stabilizer. It is important that the pH of the solution is 2 or more. When the pH of the solution is not more than Φ 2 , the plating is continued until the formation of the platinum film, and the obtained platinum film is immediately peeled off, and good battery performance cannot be expected (refer to paragraph 0 031 of Patent Document 1). Considering the properties of the substrate, the deposition rate of platinum, etc., although the optimum pH can be adjusted, the pH range is preferably from 4 to 13, more preferably from 7 to 1 1 (except 7) from the viewpoint of protection of the conductive film on the substrate. ). As the pH adjuster, nitric acid, ammonia water, potassium hydroxide or the like can be suitably used. (Π) Cathode The cathode used in the present invention is a substrate in which a conductive film is laminated. 200824170 (5) A glass substrate, a plastic substrate, a metal substrate, etc. can be used as the substrate, and the substrate material is not selected. As will be described later, in particular, when the metal substrate is used in accordance with the method of the present invention, it is not necessary to remove the surface oxide film, and the plating can be easily performed. The metal material used as the metal substrate is preferably titanium, stainless steel or the like from the viewpoint of corrosion resistance to iodine. • From the viewpoint of low resistivity, the conductive layer is preferably a tin oxide or indium tin oxide (ITO) film which may contain an additive (5 to 15% by weight of tin oxide is preferably contained in indium oxide). It can also be doped with tin or antimony in the tin oxide. These conductive layers may be laminated on the substrate by a known method such as a sputtering method, a vapor deposition method, or a spin coating method. When the conductive film (first conductive layer) on the surface is smoothly laminated by a sputtering method, a vapor deposition method, or the like, it is dispersed in an IT0 nanoparticle such as an organic solvent (particle diameter is 5 to 10 nm, preferably 10). The particles are coated on the first conductive layer to form a second conductive layer to a large surface area, thereby improving the performance of the catalyst. # (iii) Others Other anodes, power supplies, etc., can be used by ordinary users in electroplating. As the anode, for example, a carbon electrode, a platinum electrode or the like can be suitably used. * (2) Step (b) This step is the step of plating. The temperature of the plating bath can be suitably from room temperature to 80 ° C, preferably from room temperature to 60 ° C. From the viewpoint of the regulation of the deposition rate, the current density is generally controlled to be -8 - 200824170 (6). The current density of 0.1 to 10 A/dm 2 is preferably performed, preferably 2.5 to 6 A/dm 2 . Although the plating time is affected by temperature, current density, etc., it can be used for 0.1 to 5 minutes, preferably 0.25 to 1.0 minutes from the viewpoint of catalyst performance and cost. According to this plating step, a platinum film can be selectively formed on the cathode conductive film. The film is formed on the conductive film via platinum, and has good adhesion and compactness. Φ has good mechanical strength, and the platinum film reflects light to provide reflected light during power generation, and the efficiency is improved. (3) Step (c) This step is a step of taking out the cathode formed with the platinum film produced in the above (a) and (b). After the taken-out cathode is washed with water and dried, it can be suitably used as a counter electrode of a dye-sensitized solar cell. # The following examples illustrate the invention in more detail. [Embodiment] Fig. 1 is a view showing a pattern of electroplating. The platinum aqueous solution 2 in the container 1 is immersed in the substrate 6 and the counter electrode 3 on which the conductive layer 7 is laminated on one side. In the platinum aqueous solution, in addition to Example 4, an aqueous solution of hexamine white gold (IV) methanesulfonate was adjusted to pH 10.8 by aqueous ammonia (content: 25 wt./min.), in the aqueous platinum solution, hexamine platinum (IV). The methanesulfonate concentration is 200824170 (7) 6.9§/1^ (platinum is 2§/1〇, the liquid temperature of the platinum aqueous solution is 19°〇. The carbon electrode is used as the opposite electrode. The electroplating system is the negative electrode of the DC power supply 5 (-pole) is connected to the substrate 6 on which the conductive layer 7 is laminated, and the positive electrode (+ pole) of the DC electrode 5 is connected to the opposite electrode 3. In this state, the current between the electrodes becomes Ο.ΙΑ/dm2 to ΙΟΑ/ In the mode of dm2, a voltage is applied to the surface of the conductive layer 7 laminated on the substrate 6, and the platinum film 8 is selectively formed, as shown in Fig. 2, which is the counter electrode 4. Fig. 2 More specifically, as follows In the first to third embodiments and the comparative examples 1 and 2, the counter electrode 4 was produced. In the first embodiment, the electroplating was carried out in an aqueous platinum solution having a pH of 2 or higher, preferably 7 or more, such as weak acidity of ITO. The conductive layer can be plated with platinum without damaging the ITO. Further, as in Example 3, titanium metal, etc., the surface A metal material having an oxide film can be plated without removing the oxide film during general plating, and can be easily plated by laminating the conductive layer on the surface without complicated pretreatment of the oxide film removal. The surface # of the conductive layer is selectively plated, and the surface without the conductive layer is not plated, which is very advantageous for the fabrication of the counter electrode. (Embodiment 1) 'The substrate 6 on which the conductive layer 7 is laminated on one side It is used for vapor deposition of indium tin oxide (IΤΌ, indium oxide containing about 1% by weight of tin oxide) on a glass substrate (film thickness: 20 nm). The surface of the conductive film of the IT0 is deposited by electroplating. The electron micrograph is shown in Fig. 4. The current density of the electroplating is 5 A/dm2 for 0.5 min. After electroplating-10-200824170 (8), the substrate formed with the platinum film is washed with water and dried at 110 °c (platinum) The film thickness was 5 nm. The electron micrograph of the surface of the conductive film on which ITO was deposited after electroplating was shown in Fig. 5. There was no difference in the surface before and after electroplating, and platinum particles were not recognized, and the salty platinum was uniformly precipitated in a film form. ^ (Embodiment 2) In the same manner as in the first embodiment, a glass substrate as a conductive film ITO was deposited, and an organic solvent solution (organic solvent: isopropanol) having an ITO particle concentration of 1% by mass was spin-coated on the substrate, at 1 1 〇. After drying at ° C for 5 minutes, it was electroplated as a cathode (spin coating film thickness: 400 nm). The current density of plating was 5 A/dm 2 for 0.5 minute. After plating, the substrate formed with platinum film was washed with water at ll ° ° C. Drying (platinum film thickness: 5 nm) 〇 (Comparative Example 1): In the same manner as in Example 1, a substrate on which a ITO was deposited as a conductive layer on a glass substrate was used as a substrate, and the surface of the conductive layer was produced by a sputtering apparatus (manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.). , E- 1 0 3 0 type ion sputtering machine), carrying 20nm thick platinum. (Example 3) A titanium oxide plate was spin-coated with an organic solvent solution (organic solvent: isopropanol) having an average particle diameter of 12 nm and an organic solvent solution (organic solvent: isopropanol) at 10 ° C for 5 minutes. (film thickness 400 nm). The current density of the plating was 5 A/dm 2 'time was 〇5 minutes. Plating -11 - 200824170 (9), the substrate on which the platinum film was formed was washed with water, and dried at 110 ° C (platinum film thickness (Comparative Example 2). Similarly to Example 2, the substrate was made of a titanium metal plate, and passed through a sputtering apparatus. 20 nm thick platinum was carried on the surface. (Example 4) An aqueous solution of hexamine white gold (IV) methanesulfonate was adjusted to pH 2.1 by using ammonia water (containing 12.5% by weight) as a platinum aqueous solution. The hexamine white gold (IV) methanesulfonate concentration was 6.9 g/L (white gold was 2 g/L), and the liquid temperature of the platinum aqueous solution was 19 ° C. The substrate was the same as in Example 1 on a glass substrate. The conductive film ITO was vapor-deposited, and the current density of the plating was 5 A/dm 2 for 0.5 minute. After φ plating, it was washed with water and dried at 10 ° C (platinum film thickness: 4 nm). (Performance evaluation) Example of use In each of the 'electrodes produced in 1, 2, 3, and 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, a dye-sensitized solar cell of Fig. 3 was produced as a counter electrode, and the conversion efficiency η was obtained by using an IV test. %], open voltage Voc [V], short circuit current Jsc [mA/cm2], curve factor FF, The performance of each of the electrodes of the above examples and comparative examples was evaluated as the performance of the inductive solar cell of the opposite electrode. The results are shown in Table 1. From the results of Table 1, it is known that 'via the plating method' The battery performance was as good as that of the sputtering method. Further, according to Example 2, the surface area was further increased by the adhesion of the ITO particles, and the conversion efficiency was further improved. Further, in Example 4, the electrolyte solution was used. As a result of ρ Η being acidic (2.1), the thickness of platinum was slightly thinner than in Example 1.
