Problems solved by technology

However, the energy conversion efficiencies of these photovoltaic devices are much lower than their theoretical predictions and they are expensive to fabricate
Although people have used various methods to improve the conversion efficiency of solar cells to a certain extent, they have not been able to greatly increase it. Find a more effective way or countermeasure to make the actual energy conversion efficiency of solar cells close to its theoretical prediction. It has become a major topic in material physics, photovoltaic devices and energy science

Abstract

The invention relates to a solar cell by virtue of taking colloid quantum dots and graphene as a light anode and a manufacturing method thereof and belongs to the field of photoelectric conversion, new energy materials and technologies. In the manufacturing method, ITO (indium tin oxide) is taken as a framework, and the graphene and the colloid quantum dots with the different grain sizes are deposited on the framework in sequence layer by layer to form a {graphene / quantum dots} laminated film which is taken as the light anode; mixtures of organic polymers are deposited on the light anode in afilm spinning mode; and finally vacuum evaporation is carried out on an electrode on the organic polymer film to finish the manufacturing of a solar cell device. The solar cell is simple and low in structure and manufacturing and can absorb the most of light energy of incident sunlight. The light anode is provided with the graphene film with high carrier mobility, thus greatly improving the extraction of photon-generated carriers to the electrode and the transmission process, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell.
