Abstract

Provided is a method for preparing an integral paper carbon counter electrode of a dye-sensitized solar cell. The method comprises: keeping paper at the temperature between 160 and 180 degrees centigrade; keeping paper at the temperature between 600 and 1000 degrees centigrade under the protection of N2 in order to obtain a paper carbon film; depositing cellulose colloid on a conductive substrate by using a spin-coating method or spraying method in order to obtain a cellulose colloid thin layer covering the conductive substrate; and enabling the paper carbon film to adhere to the cellulose colloid thin layer and then drying the paper carbon film and the cellulose colloid thin layer. The method may effectively solve a defect of forming a catalyst layer by bonding powder carbon material in the prior art and prevents loose carbon powders from falling from the conductive substrate. Besides an improvement in stability, complete long carbon fiber in the paper carbon film catalyst layer simultaneously provides an effective channel for introduction of electrons of an external circuit, prevents electron losses due to a binder, and enables the electrons of the external circuit to be fast transmitted to a carbon fiber surface to participate in electrolyte reduction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of new energy technologies, in particular to a method for preparing an integral paper-carbon counter electrode for a dye-sensitized solar cell. Background technique [0002] Since the advent of dye-sensitized solar cells, due to their low price (about 1 / 4 to 1 / 5 of crystalline silicon solar cells), high conversion efficiency, flexibility, and easy integration of photovoltaic buildings, It has attracted extensive attention from research institutions and enterprises in various countries. In 2009, the British G24i company was the first to launch a low-power product in the world. It consists of four parts: a photoanode, a sensitizer, an electrolyte, and a counter electrode. counter electrode), which plays an important role in the catalytic reduction of iodide triion in the electrolyte. However, the use of platinum not only increases the cost of the device, but also is easily corroded due to prolonged immersion in the el...
