Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method for a scattering layer of a dye-sensitized solar battery. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: (1) mixing titanium tetrachloride and a salt solution, and then conducting the hydro-thermal reaction on the titanium tetrachloride and the salt solution in a reaction kettle, thus obtaining titanium oxide scattering microspheres; (2) transferring the titanium oxide microspheres into a mortar, adding a pore-forming agent and a solvent in the mortar in sequence, and grinding the mixture for 0.5-3h to obtain uniform slurry; and (3) coating a layer of scattering layer slurry on a small particle base layer of the dye-sensitized solar battery by adopting a screen printing method or a blade coating method, sintering at the temperature of 400 DEG C-500 DEG C, and finally obtaining the scattering layer of the dye-sensitized solar battery. According to the method, the provided process is simple and convenient, the used raw materials are wide in source, a surface active agent does not need to be used, and the cost is low; and due to the provided large-particle scattering layer, the light absorbing capability of the photoanode of the battery is improved, simultaneously, the dye absorbing amount is increased, and the scattering layer has an industrial application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of preparation of photoanodes of dye-sensitized solar cells, in particular to a method for preparing a scattering layer of dye-sensitized solar cells. Background technique [0002] In 1991, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) prepared a new type of solar cell similar to the principle of plant photosynthesis, called dye-sensitized nanocrystalline solar cells (Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells, DSSCs). Due to its low cost, wide range of raw material sources, simple preparation process, and high photoelectric conversion efficiency, researchers have paid extensive attention to low-cost solar cells. [0003] Different from silicon solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cells are a kind of photochemical cells, which are mainly composed of nanocrystalline porous films, dyes, electrolytes and counter electrodes. It becomes the core component of dye-sensitized solar cells from the role of transporting photogenerated electr...
