چکیده

سلول­های خورشیدی حساس شده به مواد رنگزا، یک فناوری جدید برای تولید انرژی الکتریکی زیست سازگار است. مواد رنگزا در این فناوری، نقش تولید الکترون را با دریافت نور فرودی دارند. در این مطالعه یک ماده رنگزای آلی با استفاده از کربازول به عنوان ماده شروع کننده تهیه شد. هیدروژن بازی کربازول با ایندیگو جایگزین و دو گروه استیل آمین بر روی حلقه‌های فنیل کربازول قرار داده شد. مواد رنگزا برای تایید ساختار شیمیایی، توسط روش‌های دستگاهی مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. ویژگی­های جذبی ماده رنگزای سنتز شده در سه حلال اتانل و استونیتریل (حلال‌های قطبی) و بنزن (حلال غیرقطبی) بررسی شد. مطالعه فرایند لایه نشانی و تغییر بیشینه جذب، در حلال اتانل و سطح نیمه‌رسانا دی­اکسیدتیتانیم انجام شد. امکان­سنجی کاربرد ماده رنگزا و انتقال الکترون تهییج یافته و پرشدن حفره توسط روش ولت‌سنجی چرخه­ای ارزیابی شد. در نهایت سلول خورشیدی با استفاده از الکترود مقابل پلاتین شده و الکترولیت زوج اکسایش - کاهش ید مجتمع شد. بازده دستگاه و مقدار طول عمر الکترون تهییج یافته به ترتیب در حدود 17/6 درصد و 02/29 میلی­ثانیه به دست آمد.

چکیده [English]

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a new technology for producing sustainable electrical energy. Dyes in this technology play the role of electron generation upon receiving incident light. In this study, an organic dye was prepared using carbazole as the starting material. The hydrogen base of carbazole was replaced with indigo and two acetylamine groups were placed on the phenylcarbazole rings. The chemical structure of the dyes was studied by analytical methods to confirm the chemical structure. The absorption properties of the synthesized dye were investigated in three solvents: ethanol and acetonitrile (polar solvents) and benzene (non-polar solvent). The study of the deposition process and the change in the absorption maximum was conducted in an ethanol solvent and on the surface of titanium dioxide semiconductor. The feasibility of using the dye and the excited electron transfer and hole filling were evaluated by cyclic voltammetry. Finally, the DSSCs were assembled using a platinum counter electrode and iodine redox couple electrolyte. The device efficiency and the excited electron lifetime were found to be about 17.6% and 29.02 milliseconds, respectively.
