研究目的
To study the preparation of graphene-monodispersed polypyrrole composite materials for uses as a counter electrode in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
研究成果
PPy/RGO counter electrode were fabricated via a facile and low cost process. The interaction between RGO and PPy led to an enhancement in thermal stability without structural change. However, incomplete reduction of graphene oxide played a crucial role in the DSSCs’ performance by lowering the charge transfer and electrocatalytic ability.

1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The preparation started with the synthesis of graphene oxide (GO), followed by the preparation of composite films by polymerization method and the GO reduction process by ascorbic acid.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Graphite oxide and polypyrrole powders were mixed in distilled water, followed by the addition of ascorbic acid as a reducing and binding agent.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Included thermal-gravimetric analysis (TGA), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission electron microscopy (FESEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The resultant suspension was coated onto FTO glass substrate by doctor-blade method. The films were dried in an oven at 70°C for 6 hours.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The DSSCs’ efficiency tests were conducted and analyzed using current-voltage (I-V) curve characteristics.
