Problems solved by technology

Whether rigid fluorine-doped tin oxide (Fluorine-doped transparent conducting oxide glass, SnO 2 : F, FTO) or indium-doped tin oxide (Indium-doped transparent conducting oxide, SnO 2 : In, ITO) conductive glass substrate, or flexible conductive polymer indium-doped tin oxide (Indium-doped transparent conducting oxide, SnO 2 :In, ITO) polyethylene naphthalate (Polyethylene naphthalate, PEN) substrate, its manufacturing cost is all very expensive, and manufacturing process is complicated, and manipulation is difficult, and substrate cost accounts for about 50% of battery total cost (see figure 1 )(Hao Sancun, Wu Jihuai. Market Prospect Analysis of Dye-Sensitized Titanium Dioxide Solar Cells. China Construction Trends. Sunshine Energy, 2006, (06): 51~52)
This is also the fundamental reason that hinders the large-scale industrial application of dye-sensitized solar cells.

Abstract

The invention discloses a paper dye sensitization solar battery photo-anode and a preparation method thereof, which belong to the technical field of solar electrode materials and a preparation method thereof. The photo-anode has three layers of structures, wherein a first layer is nanometer paper, namely metallic oxide nanometer paper or sodium graphene nanometer paper; a second layer is a wide-band gap semiconductor porous membrane formed on the surface of the nanometer paper; and a third layer is a layer of transparent conducting membrane formed on the surface of the semiconductor porous membrane. A nanometer paper substrate made of nanometer wires or nanometer fibers is non-transparent, and can scatter sunlight fully; and a conducting layer is transparent, so the obtained electrode can absorb and utilize visible light fully. The paper dye sensitization solar battery photo-anode has reasonable structural design, and high light-absorbing performance, is low in cost, is easy and convenient to prepare, can be sintered at high temperature and improve light absorptivity, is suitable for preparing flexible dye sensitization solar batteries, and has the obvious significance to the discovery of reducing battery cost.

Background technique [0002] A dye-sensitized solar cell (Dye Sensitized Solar Cell, dye-sensitized solar cell) is a new type of solar cell. Since 1991 when the laboratory of the Swiss Institute of Technology applied nanostructures to dye-sensitized solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells have been favored by scientists from all over the world for their potential advantages of high efficiency and low cost. [0003] A dye-sensitized solar cell is a "sandwich" structure composed of a photoanode (including a conductive substrate, a semiconductor porous nanocrystalline film, and a dye photosensitizer), an electrolyte, and a counter electrode (a catalytic layer and a conductive substrate). [0004] Dye-sensitized solar cells can be di...
