Abstract

In this paper, the surface of electrodes used in solar cells was roughened using wet etching method among surface texturing method, and after surface treatment, dye sensitive solar cell using TiO2 oxide semiconductor was produced. The surface spectroscopic properties of surface treated electrodes were analyzed according to etching time, and by evaluating the electrical properties of TiO2 dye-sensitized solar cells produced according to etching time, the study on improving the efficiency of solar cells according to surface treatment was conducted. As a result, solar cells that etched the electrode surface for 10 minutes could see an improvement of about 27.46[%] over their existing efficiency.

본 논문에서는 표면 Texturing 방법 중 습식 에칭법을 이용하여 태양전지에 사용되는 전극의 표면을 거칠게 처리하였고, 표면 처리 후 TiO2 산화물 반도체를 사용한 염료 감응 태양전지를 제작하였다. 표면 처리된 전극을 에칭 시간에 따른 분광특성을 측정 분석하였으며, 에칭 시간에 따라 제작한 TiO2 염료 감응 태양전지의 전기적 특성을 평가함으로써 표면 처리에 따른 태양전지의 효율 향상에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 결과적으로 전극 표면을 10분간 에칭 처리한 태양전지의 경우 기존 효율과 비교하였을 때, 약 27.46[%] 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다.
