Abstract

The invention relates to an all carbon counter electrode for a dye-sensitized solar cell and a process for preparation, wherein the all carbon counter electrode is formed by a carbon substrate A and a carbon catalytic active layer B which is coated on the carbon substrate. The process for preparing the all carbon counter electrode comprises firstly dispersing carbon catalytic active material and making into carbon paste according to the process of preparing carbon paste disclosed by the patient closure number CN101188257A, then transferring to the clean carbon substrate A through the methods of screen painting, spread coating, rotary film coating, film dropping or Czochralski method, and finally preparing the all carbon counter electrode through drying or kilning. The all carbon electrode of the invention can reduce series resistance and interface resistance, thereby increasing the short-circuit current (Jsc), filling factor (FF) and photoelectric transformation efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell. The substrate material adopted by the all carbon counter electrode of the invention has smaller resistance, can reduce using or avoid using metal flow concentration leads, and simplifies preparation technology.

Description
