锂离子电池正极界面修饰用电解液添加剂

提高电压是提高锂离子电池比能量的重要途径之一。例如,LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄(4.7 V)、LiNiPO₄(5.1 V)和富锂锰基等电极材料在较高的充电截止电压下表现出较高的能量密度和较低的成本,具有很好的应用前景。另外,提高LiCoO₂和三元电池体系的充电截止电压是提升电池能量密度的简单有效措施。但是,当电池充电截止电压提高时,不仅会造成电解液在正极/电解液界面的氧化分解,还会加速正极中金属阳离子在电解液中的溶解,造成电池循环性能和安全性下降。采用不同的正极界面修饰用电解液添加剂,既可以有效钝化正极/电解液界面,抑制电解液的分解,还可以有效抑制正极结构的破坏。本文从添加剂的分子结构出发,介绍了磺酸酯、硼酸酯、磷酸酯、氟代碳酸酯、腈类、酸酐和锂盐等添加剂在正极界面的相关研究成果,并对不同添加剂的作用机理进行了详细的解释和归纳;另外,介绍了添加剂的联用技术在不同电池体系中的最新研究成果;最后,对新型正极界面修饰用电解液添加剂的开发进行了展望。

Incorporation of functionalized single-wall carbon nanotubes in dye-sensitized TiO2 solar cells

Effects of incorporation of acid-treated single-wall carbon nanotubes (a-SWCNs) in TiO(2) film and of anchorage of dye-linked, a-SWCNs (hereafter dye-SWCNs) to the TiO(2)/electrolyte interface on photocurrent-voltage characteristics of dye-sensitized solar cells were studied. Compared with an unmodified cell, the modified cell with the a-SWCNs in TiO(2) film showed a 25% increase in short-circuit photocurrent (J(sc)). The J(sc) increase is correlated with improved connectivity between the a-SWCNs and the TiO(2) particles and with enhanced light scattering by TiO(2) clusters formed in the presence of the a-SWCNs. In the case of anchoring dye-SWCNs to the TiO(2)/electrolyte interface, the open-circuit voltage (V(oc)) increased by as much as 0.1 V, possibly due to the basicity of the TiO(2) surface from NH groups of ethylenediamine moieties of the anchored dye-SWCNs.

纳米尺度TiO2微粒多孔膜电极光电化学

用光电流作用谱、光电流-电势图和瞬态光电流谱等光电化学方法研究了TiO2多孔膜电极在含不同氧化还原体系的电解质溶液中的光电转换过程.结果说明TiO2多孔股为n-型半导体，其禁带宽度为3.26eV.当在电解质溶液中加入醌二苯酸（BQ／HQ），TiO2多孔膜电极的光电流作用谱形基本与没加氧化还原对时类似。在可见光区的光电流拖尾是由于醌被光激发，然后给出电子到TiO2多孔膜导带而产生阳极光电流.而在电解质溶液中加入Fe（CN）3-6-／4-时，TiO2多孔膜电极的光电流作用谱有明显的改变.除了在小于380nm短波区有光电流峰外，还在400-600nm的可见光区观察到宽的光电流峰，大大增加了光电流转换效率.同时在小于-0.2V下为阳极光电流，在-0.2V～0.3V电势区间为明显阴极光电流，在大于0.3V下可观察到较弱的阳极光电流.当电极电势大于-0.2V时，光电流瞬态谱在开始光照时有一阴极瞬态光电流尖峰，然后转变为阳极稳态光电流.这是因为当电极电势较负时，Fe（CN）4-6与TiO2的电子传递络合物可以吸收光子，光生电子迅速注入TiO2导带，然后还原溶液中的而产生阴极光电流.     

Near-IR light-sensitized voltaic conversion system using nanocrystalline TiO2 film by Zn chlorophyll derivative aggregate

A Zn chlorophyll-a derivative, Zn chlorin-e6 (ZnChl-e6), adsorbed onto a nanocrystalline TiO2 film (ZnChl-e6/TiO2) electrode was prepared, and the photovoltaic properties of the ZnChl-e6/TiO2 electrode were studied. The absorption peaks of ZnChl-e6/TiO2 observed at 420, 654, and 795 nm were attributed to the ZnChl-e6 molecules aggregating onto TiO2 film. The fluorescence attributed to the ZnChl-e6 monomer and aggregate was observed at 710 and 820 nm, respectively, and the fluorescence in both cases was quenched by TiO2 particles. The maximum of the incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) value in the photocurrent action spectrum was 800 nm, and the IPCE value was 7.0%. ZnChl-e6 molecules formed aggregates on a nanocrystalline TiO2 film electrode. From the photocurrent-photovoltage characteristics of the ZnChl-e6/TiO2 electrode irradiated with 100 mW cm(-2), the short-circuit photocurrent (I(SC)) was found to be 0.19 mA cm(-2) and the open-circuit photovoltage (V(OC)) was found to be 375 mV. The maximum power was estimated to be 28.7 microW cm(-2), and the fill factor (FF) was estimated to be 40.1%. A near-IR light induced photovoltaic conversion system using a ZnChl-e6 aggregate formed onto a nanocrystalline TiO2 film electrode was achieved.     

Self-assembled hybrid polymer-TiO2 nanotube array heterojunction solar cells

Films comprised of 4 microm long titanium dioxide nanotube arrays were fabricated by anodizing Ti foils in an ethylene glycol based electrolyte. A carboxylated polythiophene derivative was self-assembled onto the TiO2 nanotube arrays by immersing them in a solution of the polymer. The binding sites of the carboxylate moiety along the polymer chain provide multiple anchoring sites to the substrate, making for a stable rugged film. Backside illuminated liquid junction solar cells based on TiO2 nanotube films sensitized by the self-assembled polymeric layer showed a short-circuit current density of 5.5 mA cm-2, a 0.7 V open circuit potential, and a 0.55 fill factor yielding power conversion efficiencies of 2.1% under AM 1.5 sun. A backside illuminated single heterojunction solid state solar cell using the same self-assembled polymer was demonstrated and yielded a photocurrent density as high as 2.0 mA cm-2. When a double heterojunction was formed by infiltrating a blend of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and C60-methanofullerene into the self-assembled polymer coated nanotube arrays, a photocurrent as high as 6.5 mA cm-2 was obtained under AM 1.5 sun with a corresponding efficiency of 1%. The photocurrent action spectra showed a maximum incident photon-to-electron conversion efficiency (IPCE) of 53% for the liquid junction cells and 25% for the single heterojunction solid state solar cells.

Enhancement of photocurrent in dye sensitized solar cells incorporating a cyclometalated ruthenium complex with cuprous iodide as an electrolyte additive

A new cyclometalated ruthenium complex, [Ru(6'-phenyl-4'-thiophen-2-yl-[2,2']bipyridinyl-4-carboxylic acid)(4,4',4'-tricarboxy- 2,2':6',2'-terpyridine)]Cl, for Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) is proposed. We have investigated the use of cuprous iodide (CuI) as an electrolyte additive, which in turn has shown photocurrent enhancements of more than 25% in our dye based cells. Using an ionic liquid based electrolyte, an efficiency of η = 5.7% has been accomplished under 1 sun irradiation. The origin of this photocurrent enhancement upon the CuI addition was studied by means of impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry under dark conditions. The reason behind such a photocurrent enhancement is attributed to an electrocatalytic effect of the CuI on the regeneration of the oxidized dye. Furthermore, the CuI addition did not affect the recombination processes between the injected electrons and the electrolyte nor the electron lifetime in the semiconductor TiO(2) film, which in turn resulted in no changes in the photovoltage.     

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopic analysis of dye-sensitized solar cells

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has been performed to investigate electronic and ionic processes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC). A theoretical model has been elaborated, to interpret the frequency response of the device. The high-frequency feature is attributed to the charge transfer at the counter electrode while the response in the intermediate-frequency region is associated with the electron transport in the mesoscopic TiO2 film and the back reaction at the TiO2/electrolyte interface. The low-frequency region reflects the diffusion in the electrolyte. Using an appropriate equivalent circuit, the electron transport rate and electron lifetime in the mesoscopic film have been derived, which agree with the values derived from transient photocurrent and photovoltage measurements. The EIS measurements show that DSC performance variations under prolonged thermal aging result mainly from the decrease in the lifetime of the conduction band electron in the TiO2 film.
