Electrostatically Assembled Nickel Sulfide Nanoparticles for Pt-free Counter Electrode of Dye-sensitized Solar Cells |
초록 |
In this study, we synthesized nickel sulfide nanoparticles with two different atomic ratios and morphologies via wet-chemistry for the application to Pt-free counter electrode of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). EDX analysis shows that Ni3S2 and NiS were successfully synthesized. Zeta potential of NiS was +28.4mV in ethanol solution which is much higher than the Ni3S2 (+11.3mV). Nickel sulfide nanoparticles (NiS) with highly positive surface charge more effectively attached to the negatively charged FTO glass via electrostatic interaction than that of Ni3S2. As a result, loading of NiS nanoparticles (0.02mg cm-2) was almost two-fold greater than that of Ni3S2(0.01mg cm-2). Moreover, the processing temperature (200oC) of nickel sulfide is much lower than that of Pt(450oC), which enables the use of flexible substrates, which are preferred for quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (qssDSSCs). The qssDSSCs fabricated with NiS displayed higher efficiency (6.8%) than that of a conventional Pt electrode(5.8%). |
