Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of solar photovoltaics, and relates to a method for preparing a filament dye-sensitized solar cell photo-anode. The surface of a titanium wire is treated by super-saline water heat and auxiliary titanium salt before a titanium dioxide nano-granular film is prepared, and a special titanium dioxide film layer with a nano-porous mesh structure is formed on the surface of the titanium wire. Contact between the titanium dioxide nano-granular film and a titanium wire substrate can be improved by the nano-porous film layer, so that electronic transmission inside a cell is improved. The method for preparing the filament dye-sensitized solar cell photo-anode is higher in efficiency, simple in process and low in cost.

Description

[0001] technical field [0002] The invention relates to a method for preparing a photoanode of a filamentous dye-sensitized solar cell, which belongs to the field of nanometer devices and also belongs to the field of photovoltaic technology. technical background [0003] Dye-sensitized solar cells are a type of photoelectrochemical cells that convert solar energy into electrical energy, and their conversion efficiency has reached more than 12%. Although the efficiency of dye-sensitized cells is not very high, it has many advantages, such as low cost, easy large-area, good performance in weak or diffuse light, and compatibility with materials in construction (can be to be practical). Based on these advantages, dye-sensitized solar cells are a good choice to replace silicon-based cells. [0004] The mechanism of action of dye-sensitized solar cells is modeled on the photosynthesis of green leaves. The battery consists of the following parts: a photoanode formed of a semico...
