Medientyp: E-Artikel Titel: Catalytic materials manufactured by the polyol process for monolithic dye‐sensitized solar cells Beteiligte: Skupien, Krzysztof; Putyra, Piotr; Walter, Janusz; Kozłowski, Ryszard H.; Khelashvili, Guram; Hinsch, Andreas; Würfel, Uli Erschienen: Wiley, 2009 Erschienen in: Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, 17 (2009) 1, Seite 67-73 Sprache: Englisch DOI: 10.1002/pip.854 ISSN: 1062-7995; 1099-159X Entstehung: Anmerkungen: Beschreibung: AbstractThree types of screen‐printable catalytic pastes were successfully prepared to be used as counterelectrode for monolithic dye solar cells encapsulated with glass frit. The electroless bottom‐up method or so‐called polyol process has been applied to fabricate thermally stable SnO2:Sb/Pt and carbon black/Pt nanocomposites. The catalytic and electric properties of these materials were compared with a new platinum‐free type of carbon counterelectrode. The layers containing low platinum amounts (less than 5 µg/cm2) exhibit a very low charge transfer resistance of about 0·4 Ω · cm2. Also the conductive carbon layer shows an acceptable charge transfer resistance of 1·6 Ω · cm2. Additionally the catalytic layer containing porous carbon black reveals excellent sheet resistance below 5 Ω/□; this feature has enabled to work out a low cost counterelectrode which combined suitable catalytic and conductive properties. The layers have been characterized using following methods: electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), energy filter transmission electron microscopy (EF‐TEM) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP‐MS).
