Problems solved by technology

However, in the traditional quantum dot-modified titanium dioxide photoanode, the utilization rate of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs generated in the quantum dots by the titanium dioxide semiconductor is still not high, resulting in low photoresponse performance, and there are also quantum dots that are easy to dissolve or fall off in the electrolysis process. Liquid problem, resulting in a limited service life of the photoanode, which is far from enough to meet its practical application

Abstract

The invention relates to a quantum dot modified titanium dioxide-based photo-anode. The photo-anode comprises a substrate, and a metal layer, a first titanium dioxide layer, an organic compound layer,a quantum dot layer and a second titanium dioxide layer which are sequentially arranged on the substrate. The first titanium dioxide layer and the quantum dot layer are stably combined together through the effect of the organic compound layer containing carboxyl and sulfydryl, the coverage rate of quantum dots is increased, and the photoresponse performance of the photoanode is improved. On the basis, a second titanium dioxide layer is introduced to form a sandwich energy band structure, so that the light absorption rate is improved, the utilization efficiency of photon-generated carriers inthe quantum dots is improved, and the light response performance of the photo-anode is further improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of photoelectric materials, in particular to a quantum dot modified titanium dioxide-based photoanode, a solar cell and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] Titanium dioxide has the advantages of abundant raw materials, simple preparation process, and stable chemical properties. It is widely used in solar photoelectric conversion, photocatalytic water splitting and other fields. However, titanium dioxide is a wide-bandgap semiconductor with an optical bandgap as high as 3.20eV, which means that it can only be excited by light in the ultraviolet band, which contains about 5% of sunlight, to generate photoelectrons, which severely limits its application in solar photoelectric conversion and photoelectric conversion. Applications in catalytic water splitting and other fields. The titanium dioxide-metal bilayer film can realize the photoresponse of titanium dioxide in the visible light range, and on this b...
