Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a modified titanium dioxide nanotube dye-sensitized photoanode thin film, and belongs to the field of dye-sensitized solar cells. The method comprises the following steps of: mixing titanium salt solution and a dopant to prepare doped titanium dioxide sol A; preparing titanium dioxide nanotubes by a hydrothermal synthesis method; dipping the titanium dioxide nanotubes in metal or non-metal dopant solution to obtain titanium dioxide nanotube powder B; mixing the powder B and the sol A and fully grinding to obtain titanium dioxide nanocrystalline slurry C; coating the sol A onto a conductive substrate and drying; coating the obtained nanocrystalline slurry C onto the conductive substrate on which the sol A is coated to obtain a titanium dioxide nanotube thin film electrode D; drying the D and performing thermal treatment to obtain a doped titanium dioxide nanotube nanocrystalline thin film electrode E; and soaking the E in ethanol solution of 4,4'-dicarboxylic bipyridyl ruthenium, washing with absolute ethanol and drying with nitrogen gas. The method has the advantages of simple preparation process, high repeatability and low cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of dye-sensitized solar cells, in particular to a method for preparing a titanium dioxide nanotube-based metal and non-metal doped low-energy-gap nanocrystalline semiconductor photoanode and its application in dye-sensitized solar cells. Background technique [0002] In the world's energy structure, primary petrochemical energy such as oil, natural gas, and coal occupies a dominant position. With the sharp reduction of petrochemical energy and the increasingly serious environmental pollution, it is imminent to develop clean and renewable energy. Solar energy is an inexhaustible, inexhaustible, non-polluting, cheap energy that can be freely utilized by human beings. Compared with wind energy and water energy, solar energy is not restricted by geographical conditions and can be used on a large scale. [0003] As the most ideal energy source, solar cell utilization technology has been valued and utilized by more and mor...
