Problems solved by technology

However, the specific surface area of ​​large particles is also very low, which reduces the amount of dye adsorption and reduces the overall efficiency of the battery.
In general, long electron diffusion free paths, strong visible light scattering and absorption, and large specific surface area are difficult to achieve on the same electrode, which greatly limits the development and application of current high-performance solar cells.

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of solar energy capturing and conversion, and discloses a solar cell electrode, a preparation method therefor, and a solar cell comprising the electrode. The solar cell electrode has a double-layer titanium oxide micro-nano structure, wherein the lower layer is a one-dimensional nanowire array which vertically grows on a transparent conductive glass substrate, and the upper layer is a three-dimensional dendritic micro-nano ball structure stacked on the one-dimensional nanowire array. The design of the novel electrode successfully avoids a series of contradiction which cannot be considered by a conventional electrode. Compared with a conventional photoelectrode, the electrode has a large electronic transmission free path, is high in visible light absorption efficiency, has a large photoelectric conversion reaction interface, can achieve one-step integration, has an electron flow and high-reaction interface for the preparation of the solar cell with the high photoelectric conversion ratio, meets the requirements for strong scattering and absorption of visible light, greatly improves the overall performance of the solar cell, and speeds up the industrial transformation of this type of new energy devices and the final large-scale industrialized application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solar energy capture and conversion, in particular to a solar cell electrode, a preparation method thereof, and a solar cell comprising the electrode. Background technique [0002] Energy is the material basis for human survival and development. In recent decades, with the progress of science and technology, the development of economy and the increase of population, human beings have more and more demand for energy, and the energy problem has become one of the major issues attracting worldwide attention. Among the new clean energy sources, solar energy, especially the direct light-to-electricity conversion based on solar cells, has become the most promising candidate to replace traditional energy sources due to its inexhaustible characteristics. At present, the wide-scale application of solar cells is mainly limited by their low conversion efficiency of light energy and high preparation cost. The conver...
