Abstract

The invention provides a flexible composite counter electrode of a dye-sensitized solar battery and a preparation method thereof. The flexible composite counter electrode comprises a flexible transparent substrate and a catalytic active layer on the flexible transparent substrate, wherein the catalytic active layer comprises an FTO (fluorine-doped tin oxide) / platinum / carbon structure; and the thickness of the FTO film is 100nm-1mum, and the platinum is a film formed by clustering particles, and the diameter of the particle is 2nm-20nm. The invention also provides a preparation method of the flexible composite counter electrode, which firstly introduces the traditional preparation method of pyrolytic platinum into the flexible counter electrode by a mode of transferring and fixing, and ingeniously solves the contradiction between no high-temperature resistance of the flexible substrate and the need of the pyrolytic platinum for high-temperature treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of solar cells. In particular, the present invention relates to a flexible composite counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] As one of the third-generation photovoltaic cells, dye-sensitized solar cells have been developed since 1991 by Since the professor reported the photoanode structure of his porous membrane, it has attracted the attention of scientists all over the world for its advantages of low cost, simple process and high efficiency. [0003] Dye-sensitized solar cells include three parts: photoanode, electrolyte and counter electrode. Among them, the role of the counter electrode is to collect electrons from the external circuit, and promote these electrons to convert the I in the electrolyte 3 - ions are efficiently reduced to I - Ions are used for dye regeneration on the photoanode. Traditional dye-sensitized solar cells are pr...
