Indirect Preparation of Titanium Dioxide Oxidation Plating Layer as Photoelectrode Used in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Article Preview

Abstract:

The structural morphology, arrangement of the nanocrystalline particles, porosity factor, surface state, crystalline phase and specific area of photoelectrode film have great influence on photoelectric performance of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). At present, using TiO2 as the photoelectrode in the DSSC material has achieved very good photoelectric conversion efficiency. In this paper, the plating method is adopted to directly deposited the titanium coating on the conductive glass substrate, oxidizing the surface of titanium film, so that it is generated on the surface of titanium dioxide oxidation layer. Making it as the DSSC photoelectrode, obtained relative high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
