Problems solved by technology

However, this method requires high-temperature sintering, so it cannot be used in the preparation of platinum-supported counter electrodes based on conductive polymers.
[0004] Magnetron sputtering and vacuum evaporation can prepare high-performance platinum-loaded counter electrodes at low temperature, which can be applied to the preparation of flexible counter electrodes, but this preparation method requires expensive equipment and harsh preparation conditions. The amount of platinum loaded on the counter electrode is very high, which greatly increases the preparation cost of the electrode
[0005] Electrochemical reduction and electrophoretic deposition can also prepare platinum-loaded counter electrodes under low temperature conditions, but the stability and repeatability of platinum-loaded counter electrodes prepared by these methods are not good
[0006] The chemical reduction method is also a method commonly used to prepare platinum-loaded counter electrodes at low temperature, but the counter electrodes prepared by this method have poor performance and poor mechanical strength, which is not conducive to the long-term use of the electrodes

Abstract

The invention discloses a flexible platinized counter electrode, and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method for the flexible platinized counter electrode comprises the following steps of: 1) preparing a TiO2 layer on a flexible substrate to obtain the flexible substrate modified by the TiO2 layer; and 2) depositing platinum on the TiO2 layer at room temperature by taking a platinum salt as a precursor, taking an alcohol solvent dissolving the platinum salt as a hole scavenger and using an ultraviolet in-situ reduction method to obtain the flexible platinized counter electrode. The preparation method for the flexible platinized counter electrode is simple and low in cost, and the flexible platinized counter electrode can be prepared at low temperature. The obtained flexible platinized counter electrode has the advantages of low platinum content, high catalytic activity, high repeatability, strong platinum particle adhesion strength, high stability and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flexible platinum-carrying counter electrode, a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Platinum-supported counter electrodes have been widely used in many fields such as dye-sensitized solar cells, fuel cells, and photocatalysis due to their excellent catalytic activity and electrical conductivity. There are many methods for preparing platinum-loaded electrodes. [0003] High-temperature pyrolysis is one of the most effective methods for preparing high-performance Pt-loaded counter electrodes. However, this method requires high-temperature sintering, so it cannot be used in the preparation of platinum-supported counter electrodes based on conductive polymers. [0004] Magnetron sputtering and vacuum evaporation can prepare high-performance platinum-loaded counter electrodes at low temperature, which can be applied to the preparation of flexible counter electrodes, but this preparation meth...
