Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments the utility model is elaborated.
As Fig. 1, Fig. 2, the light anode construction of DSSC of the present utility model is, comprise the electrically-conductive backing plate that is coated with conducting film 1, be coated with fine and close semiconductor underlayer 2 on the conducting film 1, the thickness of fine and close semiconductor underlayer 2 is 20nm-50nm, fine and close semiconductor underlayer 2 is provided with semiconductor film 5, what be provided with a plurality of orderly arrangements among the semiconductor film 5 piles up the column 6 of the porous that forms by nano particle, each column 6 is all vertical with fine and close semiconductor underlayer 2, and the diameter of each column 6 is 0.5 μ m-5 μ m.The hole that is comprised in the column 6 is fork shape and distributes, and comprises the through hole 3 and the inclined hole on every side 4 in axle center, and through hole 3 is vertical with electrically-conductive backing plate.
Each through hole 3 upwards penetrates semiconductor film 5, and the inclined hole 4 of the superiors upwards penetrates semiconductor film 5, and the diameter of through hole 3 is 0.2 μ m-2 μ m, and the diameter of inclined hole 4 is 0.1 μ m-1 μ m.
Electrically-conductive backing plate is selected a kind of or composition of polymer, clear glass, metal (as copper, aluminium etc.) for use.
Semiconductor film 5 is selected TiO for use

2A kind of or the composition of conductor oxidate.
The principle of smooth anode construction of the present utility model is: for dye-sensitized solar cells, after being adsorbed on the dye molecule absorption luminous energy on the semiconductor particle, electron excitation is injected into the semiconductor conduction band, the hole is stayed in the dyestuff, the dyestuff of oxidation state is reduced by electrolyte, the electrolyte of oxidation state need be reduced in that electrode is accepted electronics, forms the loop.So in the light anode construction, semiconductor particle need adsorb enough dye molecules and electrolyte; Simultaneously, need to shorten the transmission distance of electric charge in film, reduce the electron transport loss; Improve the scattering of light in film in addition and absorb the electricity conversion that also helps to improve battery.The utility model is at this link of the scattering of sunlight in semiconductive thin film, run into the thought that the barrier scattering close with its wavelength increases based on light, proposed in the light anode construction of DSSC, porous semiconductor film is made of the nano-pillar of orderly arrangement, the characteristic size and the wavelength of visible light of nano-pillar are close, increase the scattering of light in film, improve the electricity conversion of battery; Each nano-pillar nano particle is piled up and is formed simultaneously, and its internal void is fork shape, and through hole is vertical with electrically-conductive backing plate, shortens the transmission path of electrolytical migration and electric charge.
The utility model has the advantage of: the scattering of light in semiconductive thin film is big, and propagation path is long, can improve the efficient that is absorbed of light; Adopt columnar arrays light anode construction, each nano-pillar is relatively independent, and the transmission path of electronics in electrode material is short, and resistance is little; The pore communication of semiconductor film is good, and the transmission path of electrolytical migration and electric charge is short, is conducive to the electrolyte mass transfer, improves the electricity conversion of dye-sensitized cell.
