Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field for nanometre materials and relates to a preparation method of a SiO2-ZnO nano-bar array composite electrode. The preparation method is characterized in that: a ZnO nano-bar array prepared by a hydro-thermal method is used as a composite electrode base layer, a rotationally coated silicon oxide gel process is selected as the method for preparing the SiO2-ZnO nano-bar array composite electrode, and the thickness of a SiO2 thin film coating can be reasonably controlled by adjusting the concentration of gel, the number of coatings and the frequency ofsintering, so that adjustment and control on the performance of the composite electrode can be realized. By a method for enhancing the anti-erosion performance of a zinc oxide nano-bar array electrode by coating a silicon oxide protection layer, the SiO2-ZnO nano-bar array composite electrode applicable for an acidic dye-based dye sensitized solar battery is prepared, and has advantages of stableperformance, strong acid resistance, simplicity of preparation method, low cost, high efficiency, wide adjustable area and suitability for industrial production.
