Abstract

The invention relates to a composite membrane counter electrode used for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) and a preparation method thereof, solving the problem that platinum counter electrodes of the existing DSSC have high preparation cost. The composite membrane counter electrode of the invention comprises a conductive substrate, a carbon material membrane and a polypyrrole membrane. The preparation method of the invention comprises the following steps: first preparing electrophoretic liquid of the carbon material and then electrophoretically depositing the carbon material membrane on the conductive substrate; preparing electrodeposition liquid of pyrrole and depositing the polypyrrole membrane on the carbon material membrane by cyclic voltammetry to obtain the carbon material / polypyrrole composite membrane counter electrode. The composite membrane counter electrode of the invention has good catalytic performance, good electrochemical stability, high conductivity and low preparation cost. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the DSSC based on the composite membrane counter electrode of the invention reaches 4.267%, which is equivalent to that of the existing DSSC based on the Pt counter electrodes.
