<p>A counter electrode generally shown as 1 is formed of a conductive substrate e.g. a glass substrate 10 on which is deposited doped oxide, e.g. a fluorine doped tin oxide 20. Overlaying the fluorine layer is a layer of a metal halide, e.g. platinum chloride 30 (5 Mm H2PtCl6(H2O6) in isoproply alcohol. Metal is deposited from the solution by treating with NIR. The tin oxide layer renders the glass electrically conductive, absorbs significantly in the NIR and allows for the subsequent heating of the Pt—Cl via a heat transfer process to make the counter electrode in a very efficient manner.</p> |
