Improvement of Electron Transport in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Based on TiO2/MWCNTs Composite Films as a Photoanode and SnO2/MWCNTs as a Pt-free Counter Electrode
摘要
Abstract
In order to improve the electron transport rate of TiO2 photoanode, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were loaded in TiO2. TiO2/MWCNTs composite sols were formed by a sol-gel hydrothermal method, and the uniform TiO2/MWCNTs composite films were formed by an electro-hydrodynamic method. The films were optimized with TiCl4. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometer and ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy. The photoelectric properties of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on TiO2/MWCNTs composite photoanodes and SnO2/MWCNTs counter electrode were analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and current density-voltage curve measurement. The results show that the addition of MWCNTs considerably accelerates the transport of electrons in the films and decreases the recombination of electrons with oxidized dye and I3-; The DSSC with a CNT-0.12 (0.12%, in mass) composite photoanode shows the optimal performance (i.e., Voc=0.70 V, Jsc=13.0 mA/cm2, ηFF=0.64, η=5.80%), and the power conversion efficiency is 30.6% greater than that of DSSC with a pure TiO2 photoanode (i.e., η=4.44%).关键词
