Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for forming an oxide electrode containing titanium dioxide nanofibers having metal nanoparticles positioned on surfaces thereof and exhibiting a synergistic effect of light scattering and surface plasmon resonance in a dye sensitized solar cell. The titanium dioxide nanofibers are formed to have various sizes, and metal is formed on the surfaces of the titanium dioxide nanofibers through a chemical reduction method, thereby preparing a material exhibiting a synergistic effect of light scattering and surface plasmon resonance. After that, the titanium dioxide nanofibers having metal nanoparticles positioned on surfaces thereof are mixed with a paste containing nano-sized titanium dioxide particles, and the mixture is used to form the oxide electrode of the dye sensitized solar cell, thereby providing a high-efficiency solar cell. The titanium dioxide nanofibers having metal particles positioned on the surfaces thereof restrict the incident solar light, and scatter the light so as to increase the traveling length of the light in the oxide electrode, thereby improving the light current density, increasing the absorption of solar light, and accelerating the speed of electron movement from an exited-state dye to a titanium dioxide conduction band. In this respect, the development of the material exhibiting a synergistic effect of light scattering and surface plasmon resonance can lead to the improvement in the light current density, thereby finally realizing a high-efficiency dye sensitized solar cell.
