PIGMENT SENSITIZED SOLAR BATTERY AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

To provide a dye-sensitized solar cell with suppressed photoelectric conversion efficiency deterioration due to a gap to be possibly be generated between a transparent member on which a light is incident and the dye-sensitized solar cell components. A dye-sensitized solar cell 10 is provided with a dye-sensitized solar cell components unit 14 arranged within a cylindrical transparent member 12, the unit having an electrolyte layer, current collecting electrode 18, and porous semiconductor layer 20 carrying dye cylindrically laminated in this order centering around a cathode electrode layer 16. The cathode electrode layer 16 is a spring body, and the dye-sensitized solar cell components unit 14 is pressed to the transparent member 12 with an elastic restoring force of the spring.
