Embodiment 1

[0027] The synthesis steps of zinc oxide porous nanochips containing dye molecules are as follows: PET (flexible substrate 1) covered with ITO was ultrasonicated in deionized water, ethanol and acetone solutions for 5 min each, and then dried in air. Under the conditions of pH2.0-6.0, 50°C water bath and 2.0V voltage, the flexible substrate 1 (polyethylene terephthalate / nano-tin indium metal oxide electrode, PET / ITO electrode), reference The three-electrode system of the specific electrode and the counter electrode was put into the 0.1M zinc nitrate electrolyte solution containing the morphology control agent ammonium chloride for electrolysis for 1 hour. The flexible substrate 1 (polyethylene terephthalate / nanometer tin indium metal oxide electrode, namely PET / ITO electrode) loaded with zinc oxide porous nanochip 3 is dried in the air at 130 ° C, and then placed in Soak in a solution containing cis-bis(isothiocyanate)-trans-bis(2,2'-bipyridyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid) ruthenium...

[0037] The preparation steps of the porous nano-chip dye-sensitized solar cell with a flexible substrate are as follows: since the present invention only relates to the improvement of the photoanode material in the dye-sensitized solar cell, the preparation method of other components constituting the dye-sensitized solar cell and The method of assembling the device is not limited, therefore, except for the preparation of the photoanode material, other preparation and assembly methods can be prepared and assembled by well-known and recognized methods in the art. For example: the PET / ITO of the above-mentioned dye-loaded ZnO porous wafer was used as a photoanode. The metal platinum (Pt) electrode was soaked in 0.1M HCl, and then washed with deionized water, and the metal platinum (Pt) was dried as a counter electrode. The above-mentioned photoanode and the counter electrode are sealed by encapsulation material, and a certain space for containing the electrolyte is formed in the ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a nano wafer photon anode of a flexible dye-sensitized solar cell, relating to a solar cell technology. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: preparing a nano wafer on a flexible substrate by using an inducing and controlling method of a shape controlling agent; and then, forming a photon absorption and photon-generated carrier transmission layer of the solar cell by using the nano wafer to absorb dye molecules, wherein the nano wafer has the functions of loading the dye molecules, collecting and transmitting electrons and diffusely reflecting photons; and the dye molecules have the main function of capturing photons in order to transit the dye molecules to an excited state from a ground state. The preparation method has the structure and composition characteristics of adopting the flexible substrate as a carrier of the solar cell and the shape controlling agent to induce and control electrodeposition to prepare the nano wafer, and the like, and therefore, the formed solar cell has the advantages of flexibility, high efficiency, and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and relates to a method for preparing a nano-chip photoanode of a flexible dye-sensitized solar cell. Background technique [0002] Most of the current dye-sensitized solar cell device structures based on the photoelectric effect use semiconductor materials that absorb dye molecules based on rigid substrates as photoanodes. Rigid materials as a substrate have the advantage of maintaining a stable structure, but they are not conducive to portability, and are not easily deformed to meet the needs of forming different shapes. Porous nanocrystalline dye-sensitized solar cells prepared with flexible materials as substrates have many excellent properties. When used in VLSI and integrated optical systems, they can form any complex shape, high energy conversion efficiency, and high flexibility. Advantages such as high stability, expand the application field of solar cells. [0003] Among thin-film ...
