Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. As a precious metal element, resources are scarce and expensive;
[0006] 2. There are certain defects in the preparation process of platinum counter electrodes for DSC, for example: (1) The pyrolysis method requires the substrate to withstand high temperature sintering above 375°C, which is not suitable for transparent polymer conductive substrates, and the prepared platinum counter electrodes have individual differences Slightly larger; (2) The sputtering method requires high target purity and low sputtering vacuum, which is not suitable for the preparation of large-area counter electrodes; (3) The electrodeposition method uses more platinum raw materials, and the electrode charge exchange resistance is relatively large;
[0007] 3. The catalytic activity of the platinum counter electrode to different system electrolytes is quite different, which is suitable for iodine system electrolytes, but has poor catalytic activity for polysulfide system electrolytes;
[0008] 4. The stability of the platinum counter electrode is poor, and it is easily absorbed by I in the electrolyte. 3 - / I - Corrosion and passivation, loss of catalytic activity
[0014] Although the synthesis and application of non-platinum system catalysts have been extensively studied, and the performance of some catalysts is close to or reaches the effect of traditional Pt catalysts, the development of non-platinum system catalysts still faces low catalytic efficiency and low cost. High, complex preparation process, stability yet to be verified and other issues limit the large-scale preparation and application of new catalysts
