Application of polypyrrole as a counter electrode for a dye-sensitized solar cell
Abstract
Conductive polymers have been widely applied as counter electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells. However, as one of many materials in the conductive polymer family, polypyrrole attracts little attention in this field. In this paper, polypyrrole (PPy) was synthesized by vapour phase polymerization (VPP) and electropolymerization (EP) and these PPys were employed as counter electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells. Comparing this to the regularly used Pt counter electrode, both of them show good catalytic behaviour in dye-sensitized solar cells though the PPy electrodes have a slightly lower fill factor. Such investigation will broaden the application of conductive polymers in DSCs. Our study indicates that polypyrrole is a good candidate to replace the Pt counter electrode in DSCs. Taking into consideration the regular solvent used in DSCs, it is recommended that an insoluble conductive polymer is a good choice for the counter electrode in DSCs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
