新型叠层光解水分子器件的组装和性能优化

Utilization of solar energy to replace traditional fossil fuels is a tendency to develop a sustainable society in the future. Conversion of solar energy into chemical fuels, such as hydrogen, by visible light driven water splitting using dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells (DS-PECs) is regarded as a particularly attractive approach. During the past years, DS-PECs attracted worldwide attention and experienced rapid development. However, these approaches suffer from inherent drawbacks, for instance decreased total light absorption by photosensitizer (PS); serious light damage and desorption of PS and catalyst from photoanode; low stabilities or poor photoactivities of molecular devices, and so on. Therefore, based on our experience, in this project, we devote ourselves to develop series of new efficient multi-layer photoanodes to improve the photoactive and stability of the whole DS-PECs. To meet those shortages, we’ll try to improve the fastness of dye used in molecular devices through increasing the number of adsorption group; Broaden the light absorption band and improve the utilization efficiency of light through selection and development of some structural stability, wide light absorption and high energy level organic dye molecules as auxiliary energy photosensitive dye or isolation layer; Decrease the light damage and the desorption through functional modification with the auxiliary isolate layer; Reduce invalid electron transfer in the system through functional modification photoanodes with application of some suitable organic polymer materials as auxiliary layer.
