Abstract

The invention discloses a graphene-based thin film solar cell, comprising a transparent electrode, wherein the transparent electrode is a graphene film, and the thickness is not more than 20 nm. The thin film is prepared by a suction filtration method to ensure the uniformity of the thin film and the stability of the device. A water transfer method is used to control the thickness of the graphenefilm at a nanometer level, and the transmittance of the film is improved. During the transfer process, micro-wrinkles are introduced to increase the contact area between the film and the photosensitive layer. After high temperature treatment, the graphene defects are few and the film strength is high, which can withstand the stress change in the process of repeated folding of the flexible electrode. The whole process is simple, green and easy to operate. The thin film serves as a photoanode, a counter electrode and the like; and in contrast, graphene has higher electron mobility and no heavy metal pollution problem exists, the cost is reduced and the light conversion efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to solar cells, in particular to a graphene-based thin film solar cell. Background technique [0002] With the increasingly serious environmental problems, the environmental problems brought about by the uncontrolled application of fossil energy have increasingly attracted the attention of adults. People are eager to find renewable, non-polluting new energy sources to replace heavily polluting fossil energy sources. And solar energy, as a source of earth statement, has been the object of attention. Among them, solar flexible cells are one of the applications, which use the photogenerated electron effect of photosensitive materials to convert light into electricity. However, the traditional solar flexible battery uses ITO as a transparent conductive electrode, which has the following problems. First, ITO has the problem of heavy metal pollution; second, ITO has poor conductivity and low electron mobility, which is not conducive t...
