Abstract

The invention provides a stannic oxide (SnO2) membrane electrode material for a dye-sensitized solar cell and a preparing method thereof. A carbon sphere synthesized through a hydrothermal method is utilized as a formwork, alkali treatment is carried out on the carbon sphere formwork to enhance the adsorbing capacity of the surface layer of the carbon sphere formwork to stannic ions, meanwhile the concentration of precursor tin salt solution is regulated to prepare the stannic oxide multi-shell hollow sphere with two adjacent outmost shells, and the hollow spheres are utilized as the dye-sensitized solar cell electrode materials to increase transmission paths of light in the membrane electrode. The stannic oxide membrane electrode material has excellent light scattering capacity, improves the absorption rate of dye molecules to light and obviously improves the photoelectric converting efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell. In addition, the preparing method has certain universality. The Zno, TiO2, Co3O4, CuO and Fe2O3 multi-shell hollow sphere with the two adjacent outmost shells is prepared by changing metal precursor salt solution. The preparing method is convenient to operate, high in controllability and wide in application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of functional materials, in particular to a tin oxide (SnO) applied in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) 2 ) A method for preparing a multi-shell hollow sphere thin film electrode material. Background technique [0002] Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have attracted widespread attention due to their facile fabrication process, low cost, and relatively high conversion efficiency. Among the various components of DSSCs, the wide bandgap metal oxide semiconductor film with a large specific surface for dye adsorption is very critical, and TiO is usually used 2 Nanoparticles as photoanode thin film materials. However, the electrons generated after the excitation of the dye are rapidly injected into TiO 2 The speed compared to that of TiO 2 The inherent electron mobility rate appears to be low, leading to increased recombination, thereby reducing cell efficiency. Therefore, people try other metal oxide sem...
