Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, in particular to a dye-sensitized solar cell based on a GaN nano-column structure. Specifically, the n-GaN nanocolumn structure is formed by etching on the GaN epitaxial layer with the indium tin oxide ITO conductive glass as the substrate, and the photovoltaic characteristics are realized by covering the dye and spin-coating the electrolyte on it. . technical background [0002] The development of modern industry is increasingly dependent on energy, and how to obtain energy has gradually become the primary concern of all countries. On the one hand, because the total amount of fossil fuels is difficult to increase in a short period of time globally, and with the continuous increase of mining volume, the difficulty of obtaining them also increases. On the other hand, people pay more attention to the environment than before. Great progress has been made. Carbon dioxide and a series of su...
