研究目的
To introduce boron nitride (BN) as a non-metal electro-catalyst for the counter electrode of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and evaluate its performance under various light conditions.
研究成果
The BN/s-PT composite film demonstrated superior electro-catalytic performance, achieving a cell efficiency of 9.21% at 1 sun and up to 21.02% under dim light conditions, showcasing its potential as a low-cost alternative to platinum in DSSCs.
研究不足
The study highlights the poor conductivity and fragile connection between BN nanoparticles as limitations, which could affect the film's conductivity and adhesion to the substrate.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a drop-coating method to fabricate BN/s-PT composite films on carbon cloth substrates.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Flexible carbon cloth (CC) and fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) conducting glass were used as substrates.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Boron nitride (BN), sulfonated poly(thiophene-3-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]-2,5-diyl) (s-PT), carbon cloth (CC), and various solvents for cleaning and preparation.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The BN/s-PT composite slurries were prepared with varying BN weight percentages, drop-coated onto CC substrates, and dried.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Cyclic voltammetry (CV), rotating disk electrode analysis (RDE), Tafel polarization, symmetric and asymmetric electrochemical impedance spectra (s-EIS and a-EIS), and photovoltaic performance measurements were conducted.
