研究目的
To investigate the synthesis and deposition of CuI and FeCu materials on copper substrates for dye-sensitized solar cell applications, focusing on their optical and intrinsic magnetic properties, and to test their efficiency within a solar cell sensitized with a natural dye extracted from Calotropis Gigantea.
研究成果
The Cu/FeCu/CuI arrangement showed the best performance with an efficiency of 0.763%, higher than reported values for similar chlorophyll II-sensitized solar cells. This development is promising for low-cost solar cell applications, though further improvements in materials and structure are needed.
研究不足
The study focuses on the use of copper substrates and natural dyes, which may have limitations in terms of stability and efficiency compared to more conventional materials and synthetic dyes. The efficiency achieved, while promising, is still lower than that of some synthetic dye-sensitized solar cells.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis and deposition of CuI and FeCu materials on copper substrates, characterized and tested within a solar cell. The cell was sensitized with a natural dye and operated with an iodine/triiodide electrolyte.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
High-quality copper sheets were used as substrates. FeCu was synthesized via dry-ball milling with a 1:1 mass ratio of pure iron and copper powders. CuI was grown on the copper sheets through a chemical process involving iodine beads.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Fritsch premium line Pulverisette 7 planetary ball mill, Keithley 2400 SourceMeter, ABET SunLite solar simulator, VEGA3 TESCAN electron microscope, Apreo C field emission SEM, Bruker D8 Advance Da Vinci multipurpose X-ray diffractometer, Renishaw inVia Raman microscope, Maya 2000-Pro high-resolution spectrometer.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The materials were deposited on copper substrates, characterized using SEM, EDS, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy, and tested within a solar cell setup.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of the solar cells was evaluated based on current density-voltage (J-V) measurements under simulated solar light.
