Problems solved by technology

This is because most of the currently prepared graphene-CoS composite counter electrodes are prepared by chemical bath deposition of CoS nanoparticles, which is difficult to obtain a composite structure with rich morphology and both electrical and catalytic properties.
Other methods for preparing graphene-CoS composite counter electrodes are mainly through the scalpel method and screen printing method, which inevitably involves the use of additives such as organic solvents, and requires the introduction of a high-temperature post-treatment process to remove the additives, which will inevitably affect the structure and performance of the film material. adverse impacts, as well as environmental and safety hazards

Abstract

The invention discloses a graphene-CoS nanosheet composite counter electrode and a preparation method thereof. The graphene-CoS nanosheet composite counter electrode is composed of a graphene thin film and a CoS nanosheet array. The graphene thin film is obtained by the fact that an oxidized graphene thin film is deposited on an ITO conductive glass substrate through a spraying technology, and then electrochemical reduction is conducted. The CoS nanosheet array is directly deposited and grown on the surface of the oxidized graphene thin film in an electrochemical mode. The graphene-CoS nanosheet composite counter electrode is simple in preparation method, and has the advantages of low temperature operation, quick and large-area preparation and environment friendliness. Meanwhile, the prepared composite counter electrode has the advantages of being high in electron mobility, small in interfacial charge transfer resistance and high in catalytic activity, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of a dye-sensitized solar cell is effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a graphene-CoS nanosheet composite counter electrode for a dye-sensitized solar cell and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the graphene-CoS nanocomposite film technology. Background technique [0002] Traditional dye-sensitized solar cells mainly consist of a dye-sensitized nanostructured photoanode, an ionic electrolyte, and a Pt counter electrode. Among them, the role of the counter electrode is to transfer electrons from the external circuit to the redox pair I3- to I-, and play an important catalytic role in the reduction process of I3- to I-. However, since Pt materials are noble metals and Pt is less abundant on earth, it is of great significance to develop functional materials with similar electrochemical properties to Pt. Among them, transition metal sulfides CoS have been widely studied as counter electrode materials for dye-sensitized solar cells due to their rich microstructures, such as nanoparticles, one-...
