Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of a nanometer material, and in particular discloses a method of preparing a conductive carbon fiber / platinum nanometer material and an application of the conductive carbon fiber / platinum nanometer material. The conductive carbon fiber nanometer material loaded with platinum nanometer particles can be obtained by dipping the conductive carbon fiber after being preheated in an ethanol or isopropanol solution of chloroplatinic acid for overnight and sintering. The conductive carbon fiber / platinum nanometer material obtained by the preparation method acts as the electrodes of a dye-sensitized solar battery pair; and by taking the conductive carbon fiber with good electrical conductivity and high flexibility as a substrate, the shortcoming that the performance of the battery is reduced because of the deformation and resistance of a conductive film is solved. The electrode can be applied to a solid light absorption type battery; the use ratio of sunlight is improved, so that the dye-sensitized solar battery can be used in a narrow space; the preparation method of the electrode is simple; the cost is low; and the preparation method is in favor of commercial application of the dye-sensitized solar battery in a large area.
