A DYE SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL MODULE AND A METHOD OF ITS MANUFACTURING

摘要

The: subject of the present invention is a dye sensitized solar cell module to be wed primarily as a component of building facades and a method of manufacturing such module. such module. The solar cell module according to the invention comprises two glass substrates inner surfaces of which are coated with a thin layer of fluoride-doped tin dioxide (SnO2:F) conducting electric current, one of which, constituting the photoelectrode of individual cell of the module, has titanium(IV) oxide (&Tgr;iO2) layer deposited on it with porous structure to absorb a dye, while the second substrate, constituting counter electrode of the same module's cell, is coated with a catalytic nanomaterial, preferably platinum; said substrates are connected with each other by means of silver contacts and sealing elements of the module's cell made of glass frit or other amorphous material, whereas the spaces created between these photoelectrodes and counter electrodes with proper profiles are filled with electrolyte, where the photoelectrodes (9) and counter electrodes (10) constituting cells of the module have sinusoidal profile (14), and in the space (15) created between them there is a mixture (16) composed of dye and electrolyte, Further, the method of fabrication of the dye sensitized solar cells module according to the invention consists In that photoelectrodes (9) and counter electrodes (10) as well as their conducting silver contacts (13) and sealings (12) are made by means of the silk-screen printing m the form of sinusoids (14), and spaces (15) created between them are filled with multi-component mixture (16) composed of dye components and electrolyte components.
