Technical field
The present invention relates to the application of thin film of titanium oxide in photoelectric conversion technique, particularly a kind of have ultraviolet ray and stop thin film of titanium oxide with the self-cleaning surface effect.
Background technology
DSSC (DSC) has the foundation structure that is similar to sandwich style, by light anode, photocathode (also claiming electrode) and the electrolyte ingredient that is filled in negative and positive two interpolars.The light anode is (usually to use nanometer porous titanium oxide, TiO by having deposited nanometer oxide semiconductor
2) film and the electrically conducting transparent substrate (such as electro-conductive glass, conducting polymer) of having adsorbed the monolayer light-sensitive coloring agent consist of; Very supported the conductive substrates (as support Pt electro-conductive glass) of catalyst time; Electrolyte has liquid state, solid-state and accurate solid-state dividing, and (oxidation-reduction pair commonly used is I wherein all to contain oxidation-reduction pair
–/ I
3 –).For the DSC battery that uses liquid electrolyte, adopt at last encapsulant with electrolyte sealability between light anode and photocathode.The operation principle of DSC battery is: sunlight is from light anode one side irradiation battery, dye molecule is subjected to behind the solar light irradiation by ground state transition to excitation state, the dye molecule that is in excitation state with electronic injection in semi-conductive conduction band, electronics flows in the external circuit after arriving conductive substrates by diffusion, and finally arrive photocathode, be in the dyestuff of oxidation state by the reduction of the reduction-state material in the electrolyte, regeneration, and the oxidation state material in the electrolyte is accepted to be reduced behind an electronics at photocathode, thereby finishes a circulation.Hence one can see that, is adsorbed on TiO
2The light-sensitive coloring agent on surface plays and absorbs sunlight and to TiO
2Conduction band injects the key effect of the energy antenna of electronics.Electrolyte has played the important function of carrier transport.
TiO
2It is a kind of semiconductor of broad stopband.Anatase crystalline form TiO
2Energy gap be 3.2 eV, be 385 nm to the cut-off absorption wavelength of sunlight, rutile crystal form TiO
2Energy gap be 3.0 eV, be 405 nm to the cut-off absorption wavelength of sunlight.Sunlight mainly is comprised of ultraviolet ray (λ<400 nm), visible light (400 nm ~ 700 nm), infrared ray (λ〉700 nm) three parts.Therefore, TiO
2Can absorb the ultraviolet ray in the sunlight, and the electronics on its valence band can be excited and transit to conduction band, on conduction band and valence band, produce respectively corresponding light induced electron (e –) and photohole (h+).TiO
2Photohole has superpower oxidability, and its reaction can be 402.8 MJ/mol, is higher than all kinds of chemical bond energy in the organic compound, can cause most organic substance generation oxidation reactions, finally generates CO
2And H
2The inorganic molecules such as O.In DSSC, efficiently light-sensitive coloring agent only absorbs visible light and part Infrared usually, absorbing ultraviolet not, and the ultraviolet ray excited TiO that is not absorbed by light-sensitive coloring agent
2The photohole with superpower oxidability of rear generation can make to be adsorbed on TiO
2The light-sensitive coloring agent on surface decomposes, the effect of degradedness antenna.Simultaneously, TiO
2Be excited rear generation light induced electron can also with electrolyte in oxidation state material generation electron recombination reaction, reduced the ability of electrolyte transport charge carrier.In addition, up to the present, great majority are lower for the uvioresistant performance of the encapsulant of DSC, and under ultraviolet ray was shone for a long time, encapsulant also was degraded, destroys, and lose sealing property and finally cause the electrolyte leakage.More than each factor all will cause greatly reduce the useful life of DSC.
So, stop efficiently the ultraviolet ray in the sunlight, avoid semiconductor TiO
2Being excited, allowing as much as possible visible light and infrared ray by conductive substrates simultaneously, absorbed by light-sensitive coloring agent, is to guarantee the long-term key of using of DSC battery.On the other hand, the DSC battery in use, its surface has the automatically cleaning ability to the maintenance of battery efficiency and attractive in appearancely all is of great practical significance.
