Abstract

The invention relates to a method for increasing performance parameters of a quantum dot sensitized solar battery. In the method, Ca<2+> is doped into CdS and serves as a sensitizing agent to assemble the quantum dot sensitized solar battery; the conduction band of Cds is enhanced, so electronic energy can be injected into TiO2 more effectively; meanwhile, the absorption state of the Cds quantum dot on the surface of an electrode material is improved, the dark current is restrained, and short circuit current and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar battery are improved. The processing method is simple, easy to operate, and low in cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and more specifically relates to a method for improving performance parameters of quantum dot-sensitized solar cells. Background technique [0002] Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a clean energy source that utilizes dyes to absorb sunlight to convert sunlight into electrical energy. After the dye is excited by sunlight, electrons are injected into the conduction band of the semiconductor; the electrons diffuse in the semiconductor to the conductive substrate, and then flow into the external circuit; the dye molecules in the oxidized state are reduced and regenerated by the electrolyte in the reduced state; Electrodes are reduced after accepting electrons, thus completing the DSSC cycle work. Swiss scientist Michael Grötzel's research team took the lead in making a breakthrough in DSSC in 1991. At present, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of DSSC has reached 11%, which is compar...
