The influence of different modified graphene on property of DSSCs
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Two kinds of modified reduced graphene oxide (rGO) power with different hydrophilic property were synthesized in NH3/hydrazine hydrate (N-rGO) and KOH/hydrazine hydrate (K-rGO) reduction systems, respectively, and be used as counter electrode materials. The as-prepared rGO counter electrodes were confirmed as substitution for Pt counter electrode in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The efficiency (η) of DSSCs based on N-rGO counter electrodes achieved 4.72% while that of K-rGO counter electrode was just 3.38%. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements revealed that the hydrophilic K-rGO counter electrode has a low charge transfer resistance (Rct) and the hydrophobic N-rGO counter electrode has a low series resistance (Rs).
