Problems solved by technology

In actual work, due to the current passing through the cathode of the dye-sensitized solar cell, if the catalytic performance of the cathode is low, polarization will occur, forming an overpotential, causing a loss of potential, and reducing the performance of the battery.
Therefore, in the preparation of traditional cathodes, conductive glass sheets are generally used as substrates, and different materials such as graphite, platinum, or conductive polymers are plated by different methods. Among them, the effect of platinum plating is better, but the cost is high and the process is complicated.

preparation example Construction

[0033] 1) The preparation methods of these iodine-doped carbon materials are simple and can be prepared by different methods.

[0034] 2) The iodine-doped graphitized carbon prepared by high-temperature sintering of graphene oxide not only preserves the layered structure of graphitized carbon, but also has a large specific surface and good electrical conductivity and catalytic activity, and can prepare high-efficiency low cost battery. The iodine-doped carbon material prepared from non-graphitizable carbon has improved its catalytic activity due to the introduction of iodine element, and the efficiency of the prepared battery has also been greatly improved.

[0035] 3) The iodine-doped carbon material prepared by the present invention can be mixed with carbon black in different proportions as the cathode material of the dye-sensitized solar cell, so that the conductivity of the cathode material can be adjusted by adjusting the proportion of iodine element in the cathode and a...
