Through comparison tests, the reduced graphene and the unreduced graphene have better surface adhesion condition and good electrical property after being obviously reduced, so that a special reduction step is performed.
4) The preparation method of the spin coating mother solution comprises the following steps: taking a big beaker, holding 210ml of anhydrous methanol in the beaker, placing the beaker on a magnetic stirring table with a heating function, heating the beaker to 45 ℃ and keeping the temperature, and continuously stirring the beaker at the speed of 5-8 revolutions per second by using a polytetrafluoroethylene rotor; 0.08g of PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) ultrafine powder which is crushed into 60um or less in average particle size through repeated freeze-drying is slowly added into a big beaker; weighing 5g of ZnO quantum dot powder and 10g of reduced graphene micro-sheets, and respectively putting the ZnO quantum dot powder and the reduced graphene micro-sheets into a ZnO quantum dot sieve barrel and a reduced graphene micro-sheet sieve barrel, wherein microporous filter membranes with the average pore diameter of 30um are arranged on the lower surfaces of the ZnO quantum dot sieve barrel and the reduced graphene micro-sheet sieve barrel; and (3) slowly sieving the two substances into a big beaker by using a ZnO quantum dot sieve barrel and a reduced graphene microchip sieve barrel for about the same time, heating the mixture in the big beaker to 60 ℃ under the continuous stirring at the speed of 5-8 r/s, and slowly evaporating the mixture to about 1/4 volumes to obtain a concentrated dispersion liquid. The method has the key points that firstly, in order to prevent the ZnO quantum dots from being unevenly adhered and easily agglomerating, insulating PVA fine powder is added in the solution in advance and exists like isolated islands, so that the dispersity is higher, and secondly, the quantum dots and graphene are slowly added into the solution at a very slow speed, so that better conditions are provided for uniform dispersion.
5) The preparation method of the film comprises the following steps: placing a clean silicon wafer substrate at the center of the upper surface of a spin coating table, and continuously keeping the concentrated dispersion liquid in an ultrasonic dispersion state; spin coating process: dripping the silicon wafer substrate surface by a dropper within 10s from ultrasonic wave till the surface is covered with a layer of dispersion liquid, sequentially rotating the silicon wafer substrate on a spin-coating platform at a low speed of 500r/min for 6-10s and at a high speed of 1300r/min for 10-15s, and naturally drying; repeating the spin coating process for 30 times to obtain the quantum dot silicon wafer, sequentially cleaning with double distilled water and absolute ethyl alcohol, and air drying for later use. The spin coating process adopts the arrangement of first slow speed and then medium speed, so that not only is the material spread, but also too fast throwing-out is avoided, and the method is a mode which is more favorable for preparing the material.
6) And (3) ZnO nanorod generation: taking a big beaker to contain 270ml of 1.2mol/L double-distilled aqueous solution of zinc nitrate, adding 0.6g of hexamethylenetetramine under the rotary stirring at 45 ℃, stirring for 25min, stopping stirring to obtain long-rod mixed solution, reversely clamping the quantum dot silicon wafer by using a clamping device, enabling a thin film layer on the quantum dot silicon wafer to be just completely immersed in the long-rod mixed solution, standing for at least 12h, circularly cleaning the surface of the quantum dot silicon wafer for at least 3 times by using low-pressure deionized water spray and absolute ethyl alcohol spray, and drying till the surface is completely dried to obtain the solar cell structure.
Tests prove that the responsivity of the ZnO nanorod/graphene prepared by the dropping coating method in the prior art to ultraviolet light can be as high as 22.7A/W under 20V bias, but the dropping coating method causes very unstable product performance, more than 10 times of experiments are repeated, the numerical value of some dropping coated devices is only 2.XA/W which is far lower than the highest numerical value, the instability in performance is mainly caused by dropping coating, and the surface of the prior art is far away from device formation, the method uses the selected large-size graphene, and uses a mode of simultaneously adding and PVA insulating powder in dispersion, so that the prepared material has more stable performance, and the responsivity of the device in the prior art to the ultraviolet light is obviously improved in a narrow interval between 26 and 28.5A/W under 20V bias compared with the prior art, and the performance is stable.
Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes in the embodiments and/or modifications of the invention can be made, and equivalents and modifications of some features of the invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
