摘要: We report a high-bendability flexible dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) based on ZnO-nanowire photoelectrode, which was fabricated polyethylene terephtalate/indium tin oxide substrate by low-temperature hydrothermal growth. Nanowire morphology shows preferable in crack resistance due to its efficient release of bending stress. The film can be bended an extreme radius 2mm with no observed. Flexible DSSCs this kind photoelectrodes showed good stability. With ZnO-nanoparticle modification the nanowires, DSSC much improved power conversion efficiency. Meanwhile, bendablility nanoparticle-modified nanowire electrode is maintained. results demonstrate that high quality ZnO nanowires method promising for and plastic cells.
