technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and relates to a dye-sensitized solar cell and its working electrode and working electrode material, in particular to a dye-sensitized solar cell with high open circuit voltage, its working electrode and its working electrode material. Background technique [0002] The fundamental way to solve the energy crisis is the effective use of renewable energy. Solar energy is the most abundant and important green energy, and it is not restricted by region, so it has great potential for development. At present, solar photovoltaic cells mainly include silicon, III-V compounds, copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), dye-sensitized, polymers, and perovskites. Silicon-based photovoltaic cells have been produced on a large scale, and the preparation process of monocrystalline silicon solar cells is the most mature and has the highest conversion efficiency (~23%). However, the high price of monocrystalline ...
