Problems solved by technology

Studies have shown that when titanium dioxide nanoparticles are used as a film, although their specific surface area is large and can absorb a large amount of dyes, their more or larger pores will lead to a decrease in the connectivity between titanium dioxide nanoparticles, thus making the photogenerated charge in the titanium dioxide film The transfer rate decreases within the DSSC, affecting the performance of the

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of dye-sensitized solar cells, in particular to a titanium dioxide / graphene composite photoanode and a preparation method thereof. [0002] technical background [0003] Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is a new type of solar cell. Due to its low cost, simple preparation, and high photoelectric conversion efficiency, it has become one of the solar cells with great research value and commercial potential. It is of great significance to achieve sustainable development. [0004] Dye-sensitized solar cells are composed of five parts, which are transparent conductive glass, photoanode, dye sensitizer, oxidation-reduction electrolyte and counter electrode. Among them, the photoanode plays the role of dye adsorption and conduction of photogenerated carriers. Its properties will directly affect the key processes of the battery, such as light absorption, charge transfer, and interface contact between electrodes and electrolyte...
