Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 機械工程學系所 === 97 === In this research, a novel Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) scheme for better energy conversion efficiency is proposed. The distinctive mark of this novel scheme is using a 3D nano-structure indium tin oxide(ITO) electrode to replace the conventional thin film electrode. The 3D nano-structure ITO electrode was fabricated by using RF magnetron sputtering with an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template. The template that was prepared by immersing the barrier-layer side of an AAO film into a 30 wt% phosphoric acid solution such that a contrasting surface was obtained. A 3D nano-structure ITO thin films was then deposited on the template using RF magnetron sputtering. The crystallinity and conductivity of the 3D ITO films was further enhanced by annealing. Titanium dioxide and dye were then filled up the vacant space of the 3D nano-structure ITO electro-de to form the proposed DSSC. The energy conversion efficiency of the prototype was measured to be 0.125%.
