Abstract

The invention provides a carbon black polymer combined counter electrode of a dye-sensitized nano crystal solar battery. The carbon black polymer combined counter electrode of dye-sensitized nano crystal solar battery comprises a base material and a composite material which is covered on the base material, wherein the composite material comprises a mixture A, polyoxyethylene, polyfluortetraethylene-P-hexafluoropropylene, carbon black and a silane coupling agent, wherein the mixture A is prepared by mixing propylene carbonate and ethylene glycol dimethyl ether. The invention further discloses a preparation method of the counter electrode. Compared with prior art, the invention has the advantages that carbon materials with high catalytic activity and low price are used for replacing platinum, so that production cost of a battery is lowered, and photoelectric conversion efficiency equivalent to that of a platinum counter electrode can be obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a solar battery counter electrode, and the invention also relates to a preparation method of the counter electrode. Background technique [0002] Dye-sensitized nanocrystalline solar cells have attracted widespread attention from all over the world due to their simple manufacturing process, low cost, and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. The counter electrode is an important part of the dye-sensitized nanocrystalline solar cell, and its performance directly affects the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell. The oxidation-reduction reaction improves the electron transmission efficiency, and also improves the light utilization rate of the dye-sensitized nanocrystalline solar cell. [0003] The traditional counter electrode is a platinum counter electrode. Although the platinum counter electrode has a good catalytic effect, platinum metal is very expensive. In addition, its preparation requires high temperature ...
