Abstract

The invention discloses a controllable zwitterionic compound, an autoclave synthesis method and application thereof in a dye-sensitized solar cell. The whole molecule of the controllable zwitterionic compound is in electric neutrality, and the inner part of the molecule is provided with functional groups having positive and negative charges. The autoclave synthesis method of the controllable zwitterionic compound has the advantages of no solvent, high yield, short time, no inert gas protection, simple operation and green environmental protection. The controllable zwitterionic compound has good thermal stability and low cost, exhibits excellent electrochemical reversibility, wide electrochemical window and other characteristics as an addictive in the dye-sensitized solar cell; and because the groups with the positive and negative charges at the two ends of the inner of the molecule have different mechanisms of action on a TiO2 / electrolyte interface, a TiO2 conduction band position and the interface impedance of the TiO2 / electrolyte interface are regulated by adjusting the adsorptive capacity of the functional groups at the two ends, thereby changing open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current and effectively improving cell efficiency.
