Problems solved by technology

[0004] The main disadvantage of carbon as a counter electrode is that the preparation process of the counter electrode is not perfect enough, and the surface resistance of the porous carbon counter electrode with high catalytic activity is relatively large.
At the same time, the attachment of carbon materials to the conductive substrate is not dense and firm enough, which limits the electron transport and reduces the stability of the counter electrode.

Abstract

The invention discloses a counter electrode material of a dye-sensitized solar cell and a preparation method and application of the counter electrode material. The material provided by the invention comprises a substrate and a stannic oxide nano-strip array adhered to the surface of the substrate, wherein the surface, adhered to the stannic oxide nano-strip array, of the substrate also absorbs a carbon nano-sheet layer. Moreover, Sn in the stannic oxide nano-strips of the stannic oxide nano-strip array and C in the carbon nano-sheet layer form an Sn-O-C coordination bond on the contact surfaceof the stannic oxide nano-strip array and the carbon nano-sheet layer. The material provided by the invention employs a tin oxide / carbon nano-sheet composite material for replacing a platinum electrode, and provides a new non-platinum electrode for the dye-sensitized solar cell. The material provided by the invention is excellent in conductivity and electro-catalytic property, and achieves the good adhering with the substrate, so the stability is good. The prepared solar cell is excellent in photoelectric conversion efficiency.

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of dye-sensitized solar cells, in particular to a dye-sensitized solar cell counter electrode material and its preparation method and application. Background technique [0002] Since 1991 the Swiss scientist M. Since the research team he led made a breakthrough in the field of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC), DSSC has become a research hotspot for scientists from all over the world. DSSC has the incomparable advantages of a series of silicon solar cells, such as high theoretical conversion efficiency, low cost, simple process, and can be prepared into flexible cells, thus becoming one of the most eye-catching cells in the field of solar cells. Due to its good stability and high electrocatalytic performance, platinum counter electrode became the earliest counter electrode material used in dye-sensitized solar cells, and it is also the most commonly used counter electrode material at present. However, bec...
