研究目的
To develop a quasi-solid electrolyte with inside counter electrode based on an ionic hydrogel and PANI produced in one step over an ITO conductive glass substrate coated with TiO2 nanoparticles, which were sensitized using natural dye from Myrciaria cauliflora as a photoactive electrode.
研究成果
The preparation of hybrid hydrogels with nanostructured PANI was demonstrated, showing improvements in electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. The use of these hydrogels in dye-sensitized solar cells with natural dye from Myrciaria cauliflora resulted in energy conversion efficiencies above 2%, indicating their potential for flexible solar cells.
研究不足
The study focuses on the use of natural dye from Myrciaria cauliflora and the specific configuration of the dye-sensitized solar cells, which may limit the generalizability of the findings to other dyes or configurations.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Hybrid hydrogels were prepared based on poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) hydrogels and self-assembled nanostructured polyaniline (PANI) by in situ UV-assisted aniline polymerization during hydrogel network formation in a controlled interfacial reaction.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Natural dye was extracted from Myrciaria cauliflora. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) substrates coated with indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) were used.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
AFM (Park Systems, Inc., XE-70), SEM (JEOL JSM-6360LV and Quanta FEG 3D FEI), DSC (EXSTAR DSC 7020), FTIR (Thermo Scientific spectrophotometer model Nicolet 6700), UV-Vis spectrophotometer (UV-2600 spectrophotometer, Shimadzu Corporation, Japan, model TCC-24OA).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The substrates were coated with titanium dioxide nanoparticles, hydrogel films were produced on these substrates, and dye-sensitized solar cells were fabricated and tested.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The electrical conductivity of materials was measured by the four-point technique. The efficiency of the solar cells was calculated based on current versus voltage curves.
