Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of new energy and discloses a dye-sensitized solar cell. The dye-sensitized solar cell comprises a transparent electrode, a counter electrode and an electrolyte layer between the transparent electrode and the counter electrode, nano-porous semiconductor films are arranged on the inner surface of the transparent electrode, a transparent substrate is arranged on the outer side of the transparent electrode, a counter transparent substrate is arranged on the outer side of the counter electrode, the electrolyte layer contains mixed liquid of electrolyte and dye sensitizer, and core-shell structured nano particles with surface plasma effect are absorbed in the nano-porous semiconductor films. Each of the core-shell structured nano particles comprises a PVP (polyvinyl pyrrolidone) organic matter shell and a metal core embedded in the PVP organic matter shell. Due to the core-shell structured nano particles, overall light absorption efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell is improved, and finally the purpose for improving photoelectric converting efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell is realized.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of new energy sources, in particular to a dye-sensitized solar cell using the plasma effect on the surface of nanoparticles and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the gradual exhaustion of fossil fuels and the increasing greenhouse effect brought about by the use of fossil fuels, the development of new energy with environmental protection value has become an urgent matter. Because solar energy is an energy source that is endless and clean and does not cause environmental pollution, scientists from various countries are committed to developing solar cells of various materials for use in various electrical or electronic products in life. In 1991, the research team of the Higher Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland introduced the nanocrystalline multi-void thin film into the dye-sensitized cell, which increased its efficiency to more than one percent, and gradually became one of the...
