研究目的
Exploring a spray deposition technique to prepare thin films based on nanocomposites of graphene oxide (GO) or reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with CuInGaSe2 quantum dots (QD) synthesized by a microwave-assisted method and evaluating their morphological and electrochemical properties.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated the synthesis of CuInGaSe2 QDs using a microwave-assisted method and their combination with GO or rGO to form nanocomposites. The spray deposition technique was effective in preparing thin films with potential applications in dye-sensitized solar cells, as evidenced by the use of rGO-QD films as counter electrodes.
研究不足
The study is limited by the interaction strength between QDs and graphene derivatives, which may affect the electronic properties of the composites. The spray deposition technique may also introduce variability in film thickness and uniformity.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Microwave-assisted synthesis of CuInGaSe2 QDs and preparation of nanocomposites with GO or rGO.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Use of as-synthesized CIGSe QDs and aqueous suspensions of GO or rGO.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Microwave, ultrasonic spray system, TEM, SEM, AFM, Raman spectrometer, UV-vis spectrophotometer, etc.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis of QDs, ligand exchange, preparation of composites, spray deposition, and characterization.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Analysis of morphological, optical, and electrochemical properties of the thin films.
