<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a counter electrode of a dye-sensitized solar battery which has a high catalyst performance even if platinum is not used for the counter electrode, and which allows the dye-sensitized solar battery with the counter electrode to achieve a high battery performance, a method for manufacturing such a dye-sensitized solar battery, and a dye-sensitized solar battery. <P>SOLUTION: The method is one for manufacturing a counter electrode 2 of a dye-sensitized solar battery which has a photoelectrode 5 including a transparent conductive substrate 1 on which a semiconductor porous film 4 is formed, a counter electrode 2 including a counter electrode substrate 21 on which a carbon layer 22 is formed, on which a catalyst film is formed, and an electrolytic layer 3 disposed between the electrodes 2 and 5. In the method, the carbon layer 22 is formed by preparing a paste of a carbon solution with carbon powder dissolved in a solvent, and applying or printing the paste of the carbon solution to the counter electrode substrate 21, and baking it. Then, the carbon layer 22 is immersed in a p-type semiconductor precursor solution, and baked. Thus, p-type semiconductor fine particles 23 are held by the carbon layer 22, and the catalyst film is formed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
