DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF

摘要

The present invention, for a dye-sensitized solar cell comprising a working electrode, electrolyte, and a counter electrode, relates to a dye-sensitized solar cell comprising a nitrated-surfaced nickel metal foam, a titanium (Ti) foam, a manganese (Mn) foam, or a molybdenum (Mo) metal foam at the counter electrode. According to the present invention, provided are the dye-sensitized solar cell which uses a nitrated-surfaced nickel metal foam, a titanium (Ti) foam, a manganese (Mn) foam, or a molybdenum (Mo) metal foam instead of a platinum and a transparent conducting oxide (TCO) formed at a counter electrode of an existing dye-sensitized solar cell, not only to increase the surface area reacting with an electrolyte to improve a reaction efficiency and improve mechanical properties such as an strength and a ductility by a metal and an electrical conductivity, but also to use materials costing low as having an oxidation-reduction efficiency capable of replacing the platinum and the transparent conducting oxide used traditionally, to lower the production cost.
