Problems solved by technology

For example, when large-sized particles replace a part of nanocrystalline particles, since the specific surface area of ​​large particles is much smaller than that of nanocrystalline particles, this will greatly reduce the amount of dye adsorbed, thereby affecting the number of electrons generated, and ultimately restricting the photoelectricity of solar cells. conversion efficiency

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of a hierarchical micro-nano structure ZnO electrode material of a dye-sensitized solar cell; the ZnO electrode material with a hierarchical micro-nano structure is prepared by thermal reaction of a solvent. Zinc acetate and diols are poured into an autoclave according to the proportion of 0.01-1mol / L, the heating is carried out to 120-250 DEG C, the stirring reaction is carried out for 1-24 hours, and the centrifugal separation, the washing and the drying are carried out after the natural cooling to the room temperature, thereby obtaining hierarchical micro-nano structure ZnO powder. The obtained micro-nano structure ZnO electrode material is arranged in ethanol, slurry is prepared by ultrasonic dispersion, then a thin film with the thickness of 1-20um is coated on a conductive substrate by the coating method, the ZnO electrode material is arranged in 0.1-1mol / L photosensitizer solution at 80 DEG C for soaking for 0.5-8 hours after the drying, the ZnO electrode material is taken out, and the ethanol is used for completely removing the excess photosensitizer by washing, thereby obtaining a working electrode of the dye-sensitized solar cell.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of nanometer materials, relates to a dye-sensitized solar cell graded micro-nano structure ZnO electrode material and a preparation method of the electrode, and also belongs to the technical field of new energy sources. Background technique [0002] As the focus of solving the energy crisis and environmental pollution, solar photovoltaic conversion has attracted more and more attention from governments in recent years. At present, silicon-based solar cells are mature and widely used in the market, but their production process is complex and the materials are expensive. Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC for short) has completely abandoned the traditional silicon solar cell process, and has found another way to become the new favorite of cheap solar cells. [0003] The heart of a DSSC cell is the semiconductor electrode. A good semiconductor electrode should meet the following four conditions: (a) it must hav...
