Problems solved by technology

However, most of the semiconductor nanocrystals currently used are cadmium or lead compounds (such as cadmium sulfide, cadmium selenide, lead sulfide, lead selenide, etc.), due to the high toxicity of heavy metal cadmium or lead, it has a huge impact on the environment. hazards, so it is necessary to explore non-toxic semiconducting materials as sensitizers

Embodiment 1

[0026] Prepare porous tin oxide film, take 5.1g SnO 2 , add an appropriate amount of ethanol and ultrasonically disperse evenly; mix 2.7 g ethyl cellulose and 12.2 g terpineol evenly, add the above SnO 2 / ethanol mixture and placed in a sonicator to disperse evenly. After the resulting mixture was placed in a rotary evaporator to remove ethanol, a uniform, viscous SnO 2 slurry. SnO 2 The slurry was placed in the screen, and after the ink was evenly covered, the film was brushed on the FTO conductive surface, and then it was left to stand for 6 minutes to make it flattened, and then placed in a 125 °C oven for heat treatment for 6 minutes. Using a field emission scanning electron microscope (LEO-1530, Germany) to observe the surface microscopic appearance of the photoanode, as figure 1 shown. The thickness of the film printed with one layer of paste is about 4 μm measured by XP-1 step tester. The FTO glass brushed with a porous film was placed in a muffle furnace and sint...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of green renewable energy and relates to a semiconductor nanocrystalline sensitized solar cell and a preparation method thereof. The semiconductor nanocrystalline sensitized solar cell is characterized in that a photoanode is sensitized with silver sulfide nanocrystalline. The photoanode sensitized with the silver sulfide nanocrystalline is non-toxic, the prepared silver sulfide nanocrystalline solar cell is green, nontoxic, environment-friendly, simple in preparation process and has excellent photovoltaic property. In addition, due to the fact that silver sulfide has appropriate energy gap, excellent cell photoelectric property is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of green renewable energy, and in particular relates to a semiconductor nanocrystal sensitized solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Semiconductor nanocrystal sensitized solar cell is a new type of photovoltaic cell. It uses semiconductor nanocrystal as light-absorbing material. When the size of nanocrystal is smaller than its Bohr radius, it becomes quantum dot. Quantum dots are quasi-zero-dimensional nanomaterials (usually narrow-bandgap semiconductor materials), the movement of electrons in them is restricted in all directions, and have significant quantum confinement effects, which have the following advantages: (1 ) can change the bandgap width by adjusting the particle size of quantum dots, so as to realize the full-spectrum absorption of sunlight; (2) There are many types of inorganic semiconductors to choose from, the cost is low, and the process is simple; (3) Co...
