Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention belongs to the field of chemical electrolytes and relates to a liquid crystal electrolyte solution for a dye-sensitized nano film solar cell. Background technique: [0002] Dye-sensitized nano-thin film solar cells were developed by the Swiss Institute of Advanced Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) The research team led by the professor first proposed in 1991 that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell reached 7.1% under AM1.5 simulated sunlight. At present, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery has been increased to 10% to 11%, and the life span has reached more than 20 years, so it has become a hot research topic at home and abroad in recent years. Dye-sensitized nano-thin film solar cells are mainly composed of transparent conductive glass, nano-TiO 2 It consists of porous film, sensitizing dye, electrolyte and counter electrode. Among them, the electrolyte plays the role of regenerating dyes and transport...
