Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells and particularly discloses a preparation method of composite counter electrode for a quantum dot-sensitized solar cell. The composite counter electrode comprises multi-walled carbon nano-tubes, a metal sulfide and a conductive substrate. During preparation, a layer of multi-walled carbon nano-tubes deposits on the conductive substrate by means of an electrophoresis method, the metal sulfide synthesized in a liquid phase mode deposits on the multi-walled carbon nano-tubes by means of the electrophoresis method to prepare the composite counter electrode, and a photo-anode and electrolyte form the quantum dot-sensitized solar cell. The preparation method has the advantages that operation is simple, special devices and solvents are not needed, cost is low, the photoelectric converting efficiency and stability of the quantum dot-sensitized solar cell are improved, and the method is suitable for manufacture of various quantum dot-sensitized solar cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of solar cells, and further belongs to the technical field of counter electrodes in solar cells, in particular to a method for preparing a metal sulfide composite counter electrode for quantum dot-sensitized solar cells. Background technique [0002] With the continuous consumption of fossil energy and the increasingly serious environmental problems caused by it, coupled with the continuous growth of human energy demand, the study of solar cells is of great significance and is imperative. [0003] Dye-sensitized solar cells are considered to be a promising new generation of solar cells. Compared with dye-sensitized solar cells, quantum dot-sensitized solar cells have higher theoretical conversion efficiency. Compared with dye sensitizers, quantum dot sensitizers have many advantages, such as higher extinction coefficient, adjustable energy gap, and potential for multi-exciton effects. Therefore, quantum dot-sensitize...
