Problems solved by technology

[0007]The disadvantages of this preparation technology: 1. The preparation process of nanoporous membrane is complicated; 3. The particle size in the nanoporous membrane is relatively large, which cannot make the particles more tightly combined, and the preparation of a single-layer 50 μm porous membrane is easy to crack
[0010]The disadvantage of this preparation technology: this technology only considers the scattering problem of large particles and multiple lights, and ignores that the main function of the semiconductor nanoporous film on the DSSC photoanode is electron transport , and the role of dye adsorption, not just a light scattering effect, so the efficiency of the cell prepared by this technology is very low, and the added organic polymer large particles will affect the electron transport and the photoanode’s adsorption of dye sex

Abstract

The invention discloses a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) photo-anode. The DSSC photo-anode is of a five-layer overlapped structure, and comprises a conductive matrix, a first compact layer, a transmission layer, a second compact layer and a scattering layer in sequence. The DSSC photo-anode adopts the five-layer overlapped structure, the compact layer is arranged between the conductive matrix and the transmission layer, dark current formed between electron, produced on the conductive matrix, and electrolyte is effectively restrained, and further the purpose of improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of a DSSC is achieved. The scattering layer is arranged at the position of a porous membrane, an optical path and secondary absorption of sunlight are increased through a light scattering function of large grains, and therefore the secondary utilization efficiency of light is increased, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the DSSC is improved by about 20%.
