Abstract

The invention discloses a heterostructure photoanode for a dye-sensitized solar cell, comprising conductive glass and a dye absorption layer coated on the conductive glass. The dye absorption layer is a TiO2-semiconductor heterostructure film, wherein a primary structure is TiO2 nano-fiber or/and TiO2 nano-tubes, and a secondary structure is at least one of semiconductor nano-particles, semiconductor nao-rods and semiconductor nano-wires constructed by semiconductor nano-fiber or/and semiconductor nano-tubes, namely that 1-D heterostructure nano-material as the dye absorption layer of the photoanode of a dye-sensitized solar cell. The combination of the structural characteristics of 1-D nano-size and the polarization property of galvanic couple formed by TiO2/semiconductor composite system interface can enhance the transmission and the separation of electric charges and improve the electronic transmission efficiency; meanwhile, a huge specific surface area can effectively improve the amount of dye absorption and the light utilization efficiency and further improve the photoelectric transformation efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell by 10 percent.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a dye-sensitized solar cell photoanode and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a dye-sensitized solar cell which can effectively increase the dye adsorption amount and the light utilization efficiency, thereby further improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell Hierarchical structure photoanode for battery and preparation method thereof. Background technique: [0002] The dye adsorption amount and light utilization efficiency of the photoanode of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC) are the main factors that directly affect the photoelectric conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells. It is also capable of fast delivery in the photoanode. Studies have shown that only single-layer dye molecules chemically adsorbed on the semiconductor surface can produce effective sensitization efficiency, while multi-layer dyes can hinder the transmission of electrons. There is a single ...
