摘要/Abstract

摘要：

采用水热合成法制备出片状结构钼酸锌, 并以其为原料, 添加石墨(G)或导电碳(Cc), 利用喷涂法分别制备出ZnMoO₄、ZnMoO₄-G和ZnMoO₄-Cc对电极催化材料, 应用于染料敏化太阳能电池(DSCs)中。实验结果表明: 以ZnMoO₄为对电极材料的DSC光电转换效率为4.19%, 在分别添加石墨及导电碳制备成复合对电极材料后, 其相应的光电转换效率分别提高到6.56%及7.36%。其中, ZnMoO₄-Cc对电极与相同条件下铂对电极的光电转换效率(7.81%)相当。电化学阻抗(EIS), 循环伏安法(CV)及Tafel极化曲线测试结果表明, ZnMoO₄、ZnMoO₄-G和ZnMoO₄-Cc三种材料均具有一定的导电性和电催化性能。

Abstract:

Sheet-like structured zinc molybdate (ZnMoO₄) was firstly synthesized by hydrothermal method. Then, graphite (G) and conductive carbon (Cc) modified ZnMoO₄ (denoted as ZnMoO₄-G and ZnMoO₄-Cc) were fabricated by dispersing ZnMoO₄ into graphite (G) and conductive carbon (Cc) solutions, respectively. The obtained ZnMoO₄-G and ZnMoO₄-Cc composites were used as electrocatalysts for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), exhibiting promising potential as counter electrode materials. The experimental results demonstrated that the DSC assembled with sole ZnMoO₄ showed an overall light conversion efficiency of 4.19%, while the DSCs made of ZnMoO₄-G and ZnMoO₄-Cc counter electrodes displayed power conversion efficiencies of 6.56% and 7.36%, respectively. The solar cell performance obtained by ZnMoO₄-Cc counter electrode was comparable to Pt-based DSCs (7.81%). Various characterization techniques, such as electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Tafel polarization curve, were employed to evaluate the electrocatalytic activity of all investigated materials. Among all investigated counter electrodes, the high solar cell performance obtained by ZnMoO₄-Cc counter electrode could be attributed to superior electrical conductivity of conductive carbon material and excellent electrocatalytic activity of sheet-like structured ZnMoO₄-Cc.

Key words: dye-sensitized solar cell, hydrothermal synthesis, ZnMoO4, photovoltaic performance, electric catalytic
