▎ 摘  要

The doctor blade coating method is used to prepare dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and dope the original titanium dioxide (TiO2, P25) photoanode (PA) with single-layer graphene (G), graphene quantum dots (GQDs), and gold (Au) nanoparticles in this research. The results show that doping PAs with G, GQDS, and Au effectively increases the short-circuit current density (J(sc)), conversion efficiency (eta), and decreases the internal structure impedance (R-k) of DSSCs. J(sc) increases from 13.62 to 17.02, 15.22, 16.05 mA/cm(2), while eta (%) increases from 6.36 to 7.50, 7.08, 7.04% when doping G, GQDs, and Au, respectively. The analysis of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) reveals that the doping decreases R-k from 11.28 to 8.36, 8.78, 8.54 Omega, respectively. Then, the titanium dioxide (TiO2)-doped G-GQDs, G-Au, and QDs-Au on DSSCs influence J(sc) that increases to 5.45, 15.37, and 15.31 mA/cm(2), respectively. In this case, the values of n are found to be 7.21%, 7.35%, and 7.00%, while those of R-k are 8.44, 8.63, and 9.18 Omega. The values of J(sc) and eta are highest but that of R-k are lowest when doping with G, which proves that the photoanode of the DSSC effectively activates the photogenerated electrons in the film by doping single-layer graphene and TiO2 captures its electrons through graphene. The decreasing electron-hole recombination rate allows the photogenerated electrons to be quickly transferred to the external circuit. As a result, the efficiency of DSSCs is improved.
