Abstract

The invention relates to a porous carbon nanofiber dye-sensitized solar cell counter electrode material doped with sulfur-copper-indium nanocrystalline, and a preparation method for the porous carbon nanofiber dye-sensitized solar cell counter electrode material doped with sulfur-copper-indium nanocrystalline. Through the electrostatic spinning of a blended solution of polyacrylonitrile and a sulfur-copper-indium precursor and the different volatilization speeds of a solution, the method obtains porous nanofibers, and the porous carbon nanofiber dye-sensitized solar cell counter electrode material doped with sulfur-copper-indium nanocrystalline is obtained through high-temperature carbonization. The material prepared through the method is extremely large in specific area, and facilitates the penetration of electrolyte and transmission of electrons. The sulfur-copper-indium nanocrystalline on the fibers provides more catalytic activity points for the redox reaction of an electrolysis pair. The material is simple in manufacturing technology, is low in cost, is environment-friendly, can serve as an effective counter electrode material for a dye-sensitized solar cell, and is good in application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of solar cells, and relates to a porous carbon nanofiber 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 petroleum and coal are gradually depleted, and the environmental problems brought about by it are also becoming more and more apparent. Therefore, the development of new energy has become an important issue to be solved in the sustainable development of mankind. Among all kinds of renewable energy, solar energy is favored because of its abundant resources, green and clean, low utilization cost and not limited by geographical conditions. Since the f...
