Problems solved by technology

Compared with the traditional porous nano-film, the one-dimensional ZnO nanowire array has the problems of low specific surface area, low adsorption amount of photosensitizer, and low photoelectric conversion efficiency.
First of all, the preparation method is complicated by multiple spin coating and long-term light, which reduces the economic applicability.
Secondly, the array grown by this method is short, which cannot meet the light absorption length requirement of the solar cell photoanode
The "preparation method of one-dimensional zinc oxide-titanium dioxide core-shell structure composite nanowire array" mentioned in the Chinese invention patent application publication CN102723208A published on October 10, 2012, was prepared on zinc oxide nanowires by a cyclic adsorption method Titanium dioxide shell, the combination of titanium dioxide shell and zinc oxide prepared by this method is not firm, easy to fall off, affecting its effect and application

Abstract

The invention relates to a ZnO nano-wire array synergistically modified by nano-Ag and TiO2 and a preparation method of the zinc oxide nano-wire array. The structure of the array is as follows: a ZnO nano-wire is taken as an inner core, nano-Ag is loaded on the surface of the ZnO nano-wire, a TiO2 film is modified at the outermost part of the nano-Ag, wherein the length of the ZnO nano-wire array is 10mum, the thickness of the TiO2 film is 5-10nm. The preparation method comprises the following steps: the ZnO nano-wire array is prepared by a hydro-thermal method, AgNO3 solution is taken as a precursor, nano-Ag is loaded on the surface of the ZnO nano-wire array by an illumination reduction method, then the ZnO nano-wire array is put into mixed solution of Ammonium hexafluorotitanate and boric acid, and the TiO2 film is formed on the surface of the array by an immersion method. The structure has the main purpose that the ZnO nano-wire modified by Ag inside a nanocable can be taken as an expressway for electronic transmission, and the light absorption is enhanced by utilizing the Ag surface plasmon resonance effect. The preparation method has the advantages that the cost is low, the process is controllable, and the repeatability is good, therefore, the preparation method can be applied to photo anode materials of a solar cell and can be also utilized in the photocatalysis field.

Background technique [0002] Among many mesoporous electrode materials, TiO 2 The role of ZnO and ZnO semiconductor oxides is as a carrier for photosensitizer loading and electron transport, and its composition and structure can affect the adsorption of photosensitizers, the transport of photogenerated electrons, and the recombination process. The photoanode of dye and quantum dot sensitized solar cells is mainly composed of semiconductor oxide nanocrystalline particles. However, in the network-like film composed of disordered accumulation of nanoparticles, the grain boundaries between particles will hinder the transport of electrons, resulting in a relatively low electron mobil...
