Problems solved by technology

[0004] The photoanode of dye-sensitized solar cells is composed of a transparent conductive glass substrate and the photoanode material on the substrate. Up to now, the photoanode material is generally used as nanoporous TiO 2 , but TiO 2 The intrinsic conductivity of the dye-sensitized solar cell is low, which limits the transfer speed of electrons in the conduction band, resulting

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of preparation of materials for solar cells, and particularly relates to a photo-anode of a dye-sensitized solar cell and a preparation method of the photo-anode. The photo-anode comprises a transparent conductive glass substrate and a physically doped nano TiO2 thin film on the transparent conductive glass substrate, wherein the doped material is Nb-doped SrTiO3; and the thickness of the thin film is 1-7 microns. Electron-hole separation is assisted in the photo-anode by using high conductivity and a thermoelectric effect of the Nb-doped SrTiO3, so that the electron transmission efficiency of the photo-anode is improved, and the photo-anode has the properties of high current density and high photoelectric conversion efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of preparation of solar cell materials, in particular to a dye-sensitized solar cell photoanode and a preparation method thereof. [0002] technical background [0003] Dye-sensitized solar cells are a new type of solar cells developed based on nanotechnology in the past two decades. Because of their low cost, they are known as one of the most promising solar cells for commercial applications. In a dye-sensitized solar cell, the dye sensitizer is excited by incident photons to generate electron-hole pairs, and the electrons are quickly injected into the conduction band of the photoanode and transported to the conductive substrate through the photoanode; at the same time, the positive charge generated by photon excitation The redox electrolyte is delivered to the counter electrode to form a battery. Among them, the photoanode should not only accept the rapid injection of electrons, separate the electrons from the holes...
