Problems solved by technology

According to reports, the one-dimensional nanorod structure can improve the electron transport performance. Researchers often directly grow nanorods on the FTO glass substrate to form a nano-array structure, thereby improving the electron transport performance. However, there is also a defect, the dye loading Therefore, the synthesis of nanorod self-assembled structures with high specific surface area is very meaningful for the field of battery photoanodes.

Abstract

The invention discloses TiO2 microspheres and a preparation method of a TiO2-based photoanode dye-sensitized solar cell, and particularly relates to a TiO2 seed crystal growth and two-phase synthesis method. A three-dimensional microsphere structure is formed by self-assembling one-dimensional nanorods, and the nanorod-self-assembled microsphere structure with the high specific surface area is obtained by controlling the reaction time, the reaction time, the quantity of reaction raw materials, the microsphere size and the specific surface area size. The prepared TiO2 with the high specific surface area is applied in the field of dye-sensitized solar cell photoanodes, the microsphere structure has the high scattering property at the wavelength ranging from 420 nm to 800 nm, and capture of the photoanodes on photons can be promoted; the commercially available 20-30-nm photoanodes prepared from anatase type TiO2 nanoparticles (P25) are optimized and improved by means of the scattering property of the particles and quick electron transportation channels supplied by the nanorod structure, therefore, the light scattering property is enhanced, electron transportation and electron recombination inhibition are promoted, and then the photoelectric conversion efficiency reaching up to 8.62% is achieved.
