研究目的
Investigating the possibility of replacing liquid electrolyte in dye sensitized solar cells with a thin film of conductive polymer material to improve electrical conductivity and reduce issues related to leakage, evaporation, and electrode corrosion.
研究成果
The research demonstrated the feasibility of using PVDF-HFP polymer doped with potassium iodide in dye sensitized solar cells, achieving an efficiency of 2.9% with 10% KI doping. This approach offers a viable alternative to liquid electrolytes, addressing issues of leakage and evaporation while maintaining comparable efficiency.
研究不足
The study found that the PVDF-HFP polymer could only incorporate up to 10% potassium iodide without causing discontinuities in the thin layer. Higher concentrations led to the formation of large salt crystals, affecting the layer's stability.
