Preparation and Performance of Pt/NiP/ITO Counter Electrode for DSSC

在ITO导电玻璃表面化学镀NiP合金薄膜,然后电化学沉积Pt纳米粒子,形成染料敏化太阳能电池Pt/NiP/ITO对电极。优化了化学镀NiP合金的工艺条件;研究了NiP的结构和铂载量对Pt/NiP/ITO电极形貌和催化活性的影响。采用原子力显微镜分析Pt/NiP/ITO电极的表面形貌;采用循环伏安法、电化学交流阻抗法表征其电化学性能;采用单体DSSC的光电流–电压曲线表征其光伏性能。测试结果表明,在ITO基体上化学镀NiP合金,提高了电极的导电性和光反射能力,改善了电极表面Pt粒子的分布,使电池的短路电流密度和光电转化效率分别提高了4%和11%。

NiP alloy film was firstly prepared on the surface of the ITO conductive glass substrate by an electroless plating method,and then,the nanoparticles of platinum were electrodeposited on the NiP–plated layer to obtain Pt/NiP/ITO counter electrode used in DSSC.The parameters of Pt electro-deposition on NiP alloy layer were optimized.The influences of NiP alloy structure and Pt loading on the surface morphology and catalytic activity of Pt/NiP/ITO electrode were investigated.The surface morphology of Pt/NiP/ITO electrode was analyzed by atomic force microscopy.The electrochemical performance of Pt/NiP/ITO electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.The photovoltaic performance was evaluated from photocurrent-voltage curves in a single DSSC.The result shows that the NiP alloy deposited on ITO substrate enhances the conductivity and light reflection performance of the counter electrode,and also improves the distribution of Pt particles on the surface of electrode,resulting in that Jscand η of the DSSC are increased by 4% and 11%,respectively.
