Abstract: As one of the key components of dye-sensitized solar cells, the price, performance and preparation methods of the counter electrodes directly affect the development and application of DSSCs. The Pt electrode is commonly used for counter electrodes in DSSCs, but Pt is precious metal. Therefore, it is an effective way to reduce the cost of DSSCs by looking for low cost and high performance catalytic material instead of Pt electrode. The electronic structure of Pt and transition metal nitrides are similar, so it has high catalytic activity, but also has high corrosion resistance and low price, so that the metal nitride material has broad application prospects. This review focuses on the synergistic effect of carriers and transition metal nitrides or transition metal nitride prepared by the unique nanostructure(nanotubes and highly ordered arrays)to solve the problem of transition metal nitride agglomeration and limited mass transportation.Finally, it is suggested that the development of two -component or multi -component transition metal- DOI:10.3969/j.issn.1000-1565.2019.02.003染料敏化太阳能电池过渡金属氮化物对电极研究进展李晓苇1,赵开封1,刘森2,周盛楠1,张雪1,解建军1,赵亚军1(1. 河北大学 物理科学与技术学院,河北省光电信息材料重点实验室,河北 保定 071002;2.河北大学 医学部,河北 保定 071002)摘 要:对电极作为染料敏化太阳能电池(dye-sensitized solar cells, DSSCs)的核心部分之一,其材料的价格、性能和制备方法直接影响DSSCs的发展和应用.DSSCs常用Pt对电极价格昂贵,因此寻找低成本高性能的催化材料代替Pt对电极是降低DSSCs成本的有效途径之一.过渡金属氮化物的电子结构与Pt相似,具有高的催化活性和耐腐蚀性,价格低廉,使其具有广阔的应用前景.文章综述了利用载体与过渡金属氮化物的协同作用或将过渡金属氮化物制备成独特的纳米结构(纳米管和高度有序的阵列等)来解决过渡金属氮化物易团聚和大规模的物质运输受限制等问题.最后提出,开发双组元或多组元过渡金属氮化物和柔性过渡金属氮化物对电极可以作为未来发展方向.关键词:过渡金属氮化物;对电极;协同作用;染料敏化太阳能电池中图分类号:TK513 文献标志码:A 文章编号:1000-1565(2019)02-0124-08Progress of transition metal nitride as counterelectrodes for dye-sensitized solar cellsLI Xiaowei1,ZHAO Kaifeng1,LIU Sen2,ZHOU Shengnan1,ZHANG Xue1, XIE Jianjun1,ZHAO Yajun1(1.Key Lab of Optic-electronic Information and Materials of Hebei Province, College of Physics Science and Technology, Hebei University, Baoding 071002, China;2.Medical College, Hebe University, Baoding 071002,China)Abstract:As one of the key components of dye-sensitized solar cells, the price, performance and preparation methods of the counter electrodes directly affect the development and application of DSSCs.
