研究目的
To enhance photovoltaic performance and charge transport of DSSC by sensitizing TiO2 photoelectrodes in different concentrations of Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) solution.
研究成果
GQDs can enhance the photovoltaic performance and charge collection efficiency of DSSCs. The optimal concentration of GQDs was found to be 7.5 mg/ml, which improved current density and photon-to-current conversion efficiency significantly compared to pristine TiO2 DSSCs.
研究不足
The study focused on the effect of GQDs concentration on DSSC performance but did not explore the impact of other variables such as temperature or light intensity. The synthesis of GQDs from biochar may introduce variability in GQDs properties.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved sensitizing TiO2 photoelectrodes with different concentrations of GQDs to investigate their effect on DSSC performance.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Pristine TiO2 and TiO2-GQDs photoelectrodes were prepared and compared.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Materials included Titania powder, FTO glass, N-719 dye, Iodolyte AN-50 electrolyte, and GQDs synthesized from biochar. Equipment included HRTEM, FESEM, UV–vis spectroscopy, and Autolab PGSTAT 204 for EIS measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
TiO2 paste was prepared and used to fabricate photoelectrodes, which were then sensitized with GQDs and dye. DSSCs were assembled and characterized.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Photovoltaic parameters were measured using a solar simulator, and EIS was used to study charge transport properties.
