研究目的
Investigating the implementation of a solid-state quantum dot solar cell (QDSC) with cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots (QDs) tethered to titanium oxide (TiO2) as photoanode, carbon fabric (C-fabric) as counter electrode (CE), and a solid electrolyte of succinonitrile/Na2S mixed in a 2:1 molar ratio (SN/S2-) as the hole transport material, to evaluate its performance compared to traditional liquid electrolytes.
研究成果
The study concludes that the succinonitrile based solid electrolyte is a viable substitute for traditional liquid electrolytes in QDSCs, offering good power conversion efficiency and fill factor, with performance enhancements at elevated temperatures due to increased charge carrier mobility.
研究不足
The study notes performance loss due to poor interfacial contact at higher temperatures and the sensitivity of the solid electrolyte towards air, which can lead to compositional changes.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection
The study involves the fabrication of solid-state and liquid junction QDSCs with TiO2/CdS/ZnS as photoanode, C-fabric as CE, and SN/S2- or 0.1 M Na2S as electrolytes. Charge transfer and recombination processes are investigated using IMPS and IMVS under varying light intensities.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources
Samples include TiO2 films cast over FTO substrates, CdS coated over TiO2 electrodes, and solid electrolytes prepared by mixing succinonitrile and Na2S in a 2:1 molar ratio.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Equipment includes intensity modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS) and intensity modulated photovoltage spectroscopy (IMVS) setups, EIS for electrical properties measurement, and optical absorption and fluorescence spectrometers.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
The procedure involves the fabrication of photoanodes, preparation of solid electrolytes, assembly of QDSCs, and performance evaluation under different temperatures and light intensities.
5：Data Analysis Methods
Data analysis involves fitting emission decay plots, calculating electron lifetimes, and analyzing EIS spectra to determine ionic and electrical conductivities.
