Abstract

The invention discloses a method for modulating Fermi level of an optical anode of a dye sensitized solar cell through trace N-type doping, which comprises the steps of: with a salt containing a +5 valence or +6 valence metal element is used as an N type doping source material, preparing trace N type doped titanium dioxide slurry by adopting a hydrothermal method and preparing a trace N type doped titanium dioxide nanocrystalline porous film electrode by adopting a coating method. The Fermi level of titanium dioxide nano particles is modulated through trace N type doping, which can remarkablyimprove the open-circuit voltage, the short-circuit current and the photoelectricity conversion efficiency of the dye sensitized solar cell. Meanwhile, the invention has the advantages of low cost, simple process and good repeatability, and is suitable for industrialized application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic cells, and relates to a method for preparing a photoanode of a dye-sensitized solar cell. Background technique [0002] The reported highest efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells is about 11%, which is far from the theoretical value. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells mainly depends on the short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage and fill factor of the cell. However, the current research on dye-sensitized solar cells is mainly focused on replacing liquid electrolytes with solid electrolytes or quasi-solid electrolytes, developing new dyes to extend the spectral coverage from the visible region to the near-infrared region, and studying new stacked tandem cell structures. wait. For porous TiO as the basic framework of dye-sensitized solar cells 2 Broadband semiconducting thin films, except for a small amount of research exploring the improvement of po...
