Problems solved by technology

Cu obtained by this method 2 ZnSnS 4 The semiconductor thin film is Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 The film is directly loaded on the conductive substrate without forming a heterojunction, which cannot improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes. Therefore, in this invention, the semiconductor film is only used as a counter electrode in a fuel-sensitized solar cell rather than a light-absorbing photoanode.
In addition, in the invention Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 The film is a flower-like or spherical shape assembled by nanosheets, not quantum dot nanocrystals, and it is pure. This method uses ethanol as a solvent, and the cost is high

preparation example Construction

[0038] Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 Sensitized TiO 2 The in situ preparation method of the photoanode adopts the following steps:

[0039] (1) Weigh the raw materials, express the amount of the substance in millimoles, and add the copper salt, zinc salt, tin salt, reducing agent and modifier together with the sulfur source in a millimolar ratio of 2:1:1.2:x:y into a polytetrafluoroethylene reactor, then add water to dissolve, and form a precursor solution with a concentration of 0.01-0.5M, where x is the amount of reducing agent, x=1-15, and y is the amount of modifier, y=1-35; the amount of sulfur source is 1-20 times of the sum of copper salt, zinc salt and tin salt;

[0040] (2) Add the prepared titanium dioxide nanostructure photoanode material in the configured precursor solution;

[0041] (3) Seal the reactor, control the reaction temperature inside the reactor to be 100-200° C., and react for 1-24 hours. After the reaction, cool the reactor to room temperature naturally, take out t...

Embodiment 1

[0052] (1) represent the amount of substance in millimoles, join copper acetate, zinc acetate and thioacetamide together in the 50mL polytetrafluoroethylene reactor with the millimolar ratio of 0.8:0.4:15.2 respectively, then add 40mL water, Stir and ultrasonically dissolve, then add 3 mL of mercaptopropionic acid and 2 mL of triethanolamine to adjust the pH to 10-11, wherein triethanolamine is the reducing agent and mercaptopropionic acid is the modifier. Finally, add 12 mL of tin tetrachloride solution prepared with a concentration of 0.04 M (mol / liter), and stir evenly.

Abstract

The invention relates to a Cu2ZnSnS4 sensitized TiO2 photo anode and an in-situ preparation method and application thereof. The Cu2ZnSnS4 sensitized TiO2 photo anode comprises a TiO2 layer loaded on a transparent conductive substrate and pure-phase Cu2ZnSnS4 nanocrystalline adhering to the TiO2 layer. The method comprises steps of: adding copper salt, zinc salt, tin salt, a reducing agent, a modification agent, and a sulfur source into a polytetrafluoroethylene reaction vessel and adding water in order to dissolve the same; adding the transparent conductive substrate equipped with the TiO2 layer; and controlling the temperature between 100 to 200 degrees centigrade, performing in-situ growth reaction for 1 to 24 hours, taking out, cleaning, and drying a reacted object so as to obtain the Cu2ZnSnS4 sensitization TiO2 photo anode. Compared with a method in the prior art, the method is simple in operating steps, fast in reaction, and low in cost. The prepared Cu2ZnSnS4 sensitized TiO2 photo anode material is sensitive in photoelectric response and has a wide purpose in the fields of photoelectric sensors, photoelectrocatalysis, and solar cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of solar cell material manufacturing, in particular to a Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 Sensitized TiO 2 Photoanode and its in situ preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] As one of the clean energy sources discovered and utilized by human beings, solar energy provides huge energy to the earth, which is about 10,000 times the annual energy consumption of human beings today. If human beings can use solar energy as the main energy source, not only the energy crisis faced by human beings can be solved, but also secondary problems such as the ecological environment accompanied by traditional energy consumption can be eliminated. Since the development of silicon solar cells in 1954, solar cell technology has developed rapidly. Due to the aggravation of the energy crisis, people's dependence on renewable energy is getting stronger and stronger, which promotes the rapid development of clean energy utilization tec...
