Abstract

The invention relates to a method for improving the photoelectric performance of a zinc oxide-based dye-sensitized solar cell. In this method, the metal-organic framework material MOF-5 is used as a precursor to prepare parallelepiped-shaped ZnO aggregates, which are used as the scattering layer of the ZnO photoanode, and then the metal-organic framework is grown on the surface of the photoanode with a double-layer structure. The material ZIF‑8 acts as an interface regulation layer, which can significantly improve the photoelectric performance of zinc oxide-based dye-sensitized solar cells. The method is simple and easy to implement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of solar cells, and more specifically relates to a method for improving the photoelectric performance of a zinc oxide-based dye-sensitized solar cell. Background technique [0002] Dye-sensitized solar cells have the advantages of low price, environmental friendliness, simple fabrication, and high conversion efficiency, and become the representative of the third generation of solar cells. Among the photoanode materials for dye-sensitized solar cells, ZnO has been widely studied because of its high electron mobility, easy-to-control morphology, and suitable energy band structure. In order to be able to absorb enough dyes, the photoanode material usually uses nano-ZnO, so that the electrode material has a certain light transmittance, which reduces the utilization of incident light and the overall performance of the battery. In order to improve the light collection efficiency of electrode materials, a light-scattering l...
