Problems solved by technology

Although Pt electrodes have many advantages and excellent performance, the price of platinum electrodes is too expensive, accounting for almost 60% of the entire battery cost
For one-dimensional inorganic nano-semiconductor materials, because electrons are easily trapped and lost at the interface and space when conducting through disordered nanoparticles, the collection and conversion efficiency of electrons is reduced.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a dye-sensitized solar cell counter electrode material by using an eggshell membrane. An eggshell membrane which is common garbage in daily life is used as a raw material, and through the methods of acid treatment, liquid phase immersion and carbonization, the three-dimensional porous sub-micron carbon fiber network material of a load copper sulfide indium nanocrystal is prepared and is applied to the counter electrode of a dye-sensitized solar cell. The specific preparation method comprises the steps of peeling an eggshell internal membrane from a fresh egg and processing the eggshell internal membrane by using dilute hydrochloric acid, after washing and drying, placing the eggshell internal membrane in a solution containing a copper sulfide indium former body, and obtaining the carbonized eggshell membrane of the load copper sulfide indium nanocrystal. According to the method, the eggshell membrane is used to prepare the dye-sensitized solar cell counter electrode material, a three-dimensional porous network structure is provided, a fiber scale is in a sub-micron level, the copper sulfide indium nano particles of the load have a large specific surface area, the penetration of the electrolyte and the transmission of electrons are facilitated, and more catalytically active sites are provided for the oxidation-reduction reaction of an electrolysis pair.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of solar cells, and relates to a three-dimensional porous submicron carbon fiber network electrode material loaded with copper-sulfur-indium nanocrystals and a preparation method thereof. In particular, it relates to a preparation method applicable to a counter electrode of a dye-sensitized solar cell. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of the world economy, the demand for energy in human society is increasing, and the geological reserves of non-renewable fossil energy such as oil and coal are gradually depleted, and the resulting greenhouse effect is becoming increasingly apparent. The development of new energy has become an important issue to be solved for the sustainable development of human beings. Among various renewable energy sources, solar energy is favored for its advantages such as cleanness, safety in use, abundant resources, low utilization cost and no limitation of geographical...
