DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF SAME

摘要

There are provided a dye-sensitized solar cell which can simply be manufactured, has a high power extraction efficiency, and is suitable for its upsizing, and a method for manufacturing the dye-sensitized solar cell. The dye-sensitized solar cell is provided with a transparent substrate 12, a porous semiconductor layer 14 having a dye adsorbed thereon, a conductive metal film 16, and a substrate having a conductive film, and has an electrolyte between the conductive metal film 16 and the substrate having a conductive film. A large number of deep poriform through-holes are irregularly formed in the conductive metal film 16. The conductive metal film 16 is electrically connected to an external electrode. The through-holes are obtained by forming the conductive metal film 16 on a microparticle layer formed by disposing a microparticle 28 having a shape anisotropy on the porous semiconductor layer 14, and then eliminating the microparticle layer by heating or solvent cleaning.
