Problems solved by technology

In terms of conductivity alone, the transparent TCO electrode used for electron collection has extremely high conductivity (>10 3 S / cm), however, if we use TCO as the photovoltaic layer, there are the following disadvantages: the conduction band of the TCO material is lower than that of TiO 2 and ZnO, when electrons are transferred from the dye to the conduction band of TCO, due to the thermal homogenization of the carriers, it will inevitably cause a great loss of open circuit voltage

Abstract

The invention relates to a dye-sensitized solar cell photoanode and a producing method of the dye-sensitized solar cell photoanode, and belongs to the technical field of energy. The dye-sensitized solar cell photoanode comprises a three-dimensional transparent conductive oxide hollow sphere framework and thin layers TiO2 deposited on the inner surface and the outer surface of a transparent conductive oxide hollow sphere respectively. The dye-sensitized solar cell photoanode is provided with a polystyrene and polyethylene glycol composite template, a transparent conductive oxide hollow sphere electrode is manufactured by mixing the polystyrene and polyethylene glycol composite template with a transparent conductive oxide precursor, the inner surface and the outer surface of the transparent conductive oxide hollow sphere are respectively provided with one layer of TiO2 in the deposited mode, and heat treatment is carried out in argon finally. A transmission path of photoproduction electrons in a photovoltaic layer is changed fundamentally, the electron transmission distance is greatly shortened while light harvesting efficiency is improved, the slow spreading process of the electrons in the photovoltaic layer is replaced with a faster field driving charge separation process, and therefore charge recombination of the electrons on an interface layer and electrolytes is effectively restrained, and dark current in a battery is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a photoanode of a dye-sensitized solar cell and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of energy technology. Background technique [0002] The energy problem is a common problem faced by mankind. Due to the depletion of fossil fuels and the environmental pollution caused by the use of a large number of fossil fuels, it has seriously threatened the survival and development of human beings. The large-scale application of solar energy is the solution to energy and environmental problems. key breakthrough. In this context, solar photovoltaic power generation and solar thermal utilization have become the fastest-growing renewable energy technologies in the world in the past decade. [0003] At present, silicon cells occupy more than 95% of the global market share of solar cells. However, smelting high-purity silicon requires a large amount of energy. Calculations show that the energy consumed to manufacture monocryst...
