高熵合金-高熵氧化物负载氮掺杂碳复合材料的制备及催化性能

Preparation and catalytic performance of high-entropy alloy-high-entropy oxide loaded nitrogen-doped carbon composites

  • 摘要: 开发高活性、低成本且稳定的对电极对于提升染料敏化太阳能电池的光伏性能具有重要意义。目前,氮掺杂碳(NC)材料在碘还原反应(IRR)中表现出一定的催化潜力,但其活性位点匮乏制约了实际应用。本文通过湿浸渍法将FeCoNiMnCr高熵合金-高熵氧化物(HEA-HEO)锚定于NC载体上,合成了HEA-HEO/NC复合材料,并系统评估了其作为对电极在I3/I体系和Cu2+/Cu+体系中的电化学特性和光伏性能。得益于多金属组分提供的丰富活性位点以及NC骨架多孔导电结构的协同作用,HEA-HEO/NC表现出优异的催化活性和电子转移能力。在I3/I体系中,HEA-HEO/NC对电极的电荷转移电阻低至0.57 Ω·cm2,组装器件的光电转换效率(PCE)达到8.69%,高于商用Pt电极的性能(7.51%)。在Cu2+/Cu+体系中,HEA-HEO/NC对电极组装光伏器件的PCE为4.02%。此外,50圈连续循环伏安测试结果表明,HEA-HEO/NC催化剂具有优异的稳定性。本研究为开发高性能电极材料提供了新的思路。

     

    Abstract: Developing highly active, low-cost, and stable counter electrode catalysts is crucial for improving the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells. Currently, nitrogen-doped carbon (NC) materials exhibit certain catalytic potential in the triiodide reduction reaction (IRR), but the lack of active sites limits their practical application. Here, an FeCoNiMnCr high entropy alloy-high entropy oxide (HEA-HEO) heterostructure was constructed on NC support via a wet-impregnation method to obtain an HEA-HEO/NC composite catalyst. The electrochemical characteristics and photovoltaic performance of this composite material as a counter electrode in I3/I and Cu2+/Cu+ systems are systematically evaluated. Benefiting from the abundant active sites provided by the multi-metal composition and the synergistic effect of the porous conductive structure of the NC framework, HEA-HEO/NC exhibits excellent catalytic activity and electron transfer capability. In the I3/I system, the charge transfer resistance of the HEA-HEO/NC counter electrode is as low as 0.57 Ω·cm2, and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the assembled device reaches 8.69%, higher than that of commercial Pt (7.51%) electrodes. In the Cu2+/Cu+ system, the PCE of the HEA-HEO/NC electrode assembly is 4.02%. Furthermore, 50 consecutive cyclic voltammetry tests demonstrate the excellent stability of the HEA-HEO/NC catalyst. This study provides a new approach for developing high-performance electrode materials.
