量子点敏化太阳能电池因其具有低廉制备成本、较高的理论效率等优势,使其成为极具潜力的“第三代太阳能电池”。而电池的工作性能优劣主要依赖于器件的光阳极、量子点敏化剂、电解质及对电极的协同作用。因此,优化该四部分成为改善电池光电转换效率最直接途径。本文综述了量子点敏化太阳能电池中各部分最新研究动态,并提出今后制备实用高效率量子点敏化太阳能电池可能发展方向。
Quantum dots-sensitized solar cells have been regarded as one of the most potential photovoltaic candidates owing to the lower cost of fabrication as well as the higher theoretical efficiency. And their outperformance mainly depends on the involving photoanode, quantum dot sensitizers, electrolyte and counter electrode. Therefore, the collaborative optimization of the four parts mentioned above becomes the most direct way to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of this kind of photovoltaic device. This paper reviews the recent advances in the four parts of the quantum dots-sensitized solar ceils. Finally, the possible development directions in the future for the fabrication of high-efficiency and practical quantum dots-sensitized solar cells are put forward.
