Problems solved by technology

[0008]In addition, if the porosity is increased by reducing the density of the porous titanium oxide layer, the specific surface area will increase, and the amount of dye adsorption will increase accordingly, but due to the interparticle resistance increases, the charge transport efficiency decreases, and if the density of the titanium oxide layer is increased, the porosity is decreased, and the amount of dye adsorption decreases
[0009] In addition, conventional titanium oxide nanoparticles are generally used, because each crystal of the polycrystal constituting the nanoparticle is small, the crystal plane is irregular, and the electron transport ability is reduced. not sufficiently conductive
[0010] Therefore, to maximize the light absorption of solar cells with a titanium oxide layer composed of conventional titanium oxide nanoparticles, thereby greatly improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency, and limitation

Embodiment 1

[0123] At room temperature, 60 g of isopropyl titanate was slowly added to a polymer solution prepared by dissolving 20 g of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc, Mw500,000, product of Aldrich Company) in 350 ml of dimethylformamide. At this point, the reaction starts and becomes a suspension due to the moisture in the solvent. Next, 24 g of acetic acid was slowly added dropwise as a reaction catalyst. At this point, the suspension turned into a clear solution as the reaction progressed. The prepared spinning solution was electrospun into titanium oxide fibers within 24 hours after preparation.

Abstract

This invention refers to a dye-sensitized solar cell with metal oxide layer containing metal oxide nanoparticles produced by electrospinning and method for manufacturing same. The inventive dye-sensitized solar cell having improved photoelectric conversion characteristic comprises a metal oxide layer with high porosity and dye adsorption amount which is composed of dye-adsorbed metal oxide nanoparticles, wherein the metal oxide nanoparticles are formed by electrospinning a mixed solution of a metal oxide precursor and a polymer into ultrafine composite fibers, and thermally compressing and sintering the ultrafine composite fibers.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a dye-sensitized solar cell and a manufacturing method thereof that improve photoelectric conversion characteristics by simultaneously increasing the porosity and dye adsorption capacity of a metal oxide layer. Background technique [0002] Since the Gratzel research group in Switzerland first published the dye-sensitized solar cell (B. O'Regan, M. Gratzel, Nature 353, 737 (1991)), related research has been carried out very extensively. [0003] The dye-sensitized solar cell developed by Gratzel et al., as shown in the figure, utilizes a photosensitive dye that can absorb visible light to generate electron-hole pairs (electron-hole pairs) and nanocrystalline titanium oxide particles that can transfer photogenerated electrons. material semiconductor electrodes. Specifically, the electrons excited by visible light in the dye are transferred to the n-type semiconductor-titanium oxide particles, and passed through the "I" ...
