Problems solved by technology

Since the polymer substrate can withstand a temperature of no more than 180°C, each layer of the device and the ITO thin film are required to be prepared at low temperature, which requires high preparation equipment, complicated processes, and high costs; because indium is a rare and precious metal, making ITO is expensive; in addition, indium is highly toxic, and indium and tin are easy to infiltrate into the surrounding materials during the preparation and application process, which will adversely affect the efficiency and life of the device; the recycling cost of ITO waste electronic products is high, which is not conducive to environmental protection

Abstract

The invention relates to a flexible dye-sensitized solar cell comprising a flexible silver nano-wire polymer composite conductive substrate layer, a photoanode layer, an electrolyte layer, and a counter electrode layer. The layers are successively laminated. The flexible silver nano-wire polymer composite conductive substrate layer contains a silver nano-wire thin-film layer and a polymer layer covering the silver nano-wire thin-film layer. The flexible dye-sensitized solar cell has the following advantages: firstly, the silver nano-wire thin-film layer is used for replacing the existing ITO thin film and thus environment-friendly and cost-saving characteristics are realized; secondly, in-situ polymerization of macro-molecule prepolymers on the silver nano-wire thin-film layer is carried out to obtain the flexible silver nano-wire polymer composite conductive substrate layer based on one-stage forming and the conductive thin film and the polymer substrate are combined closely; and the resistivity is low and the light transmittance is high, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell is improved well; and thirdly, because the silver nano-wire thin-film layer can be prepared by means of silk-screen printing, large-area industrial production can be realized and the preparation process can be modulated and controlled easily.
