DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL AND DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL MODULE

摘要

Disclosed is a dye-sensitized solar cell, wherein the seal structure of, especially, external connecting terminals, is reliably formed, and a possibility of leaking an electrolytic solution from the solar cell can be eliminated. Also disclosed is a dye-sensitized solar cell module. The dye-sensitized solar cell (10) is provided with: a porous semiconductor layer (12) having a dye adsorbed thereon; a conductive metal layer (14) to be the anode; and a multilayer structure (18) composed of a conductor layer (16) to be the cathode. Extending sections (14a, 16a) are provided by having an end portion of the conductive metal layer (14) and that of the conductor layer (16) extending from the multilayer structure (18). The whole surface of a first resin sheet (22) to be a transparent substrate, and the whole surface of a second resin sheet (24) to be a counter substrate are bonded together and sealed. The extending sections (14a, 16a) are partially exposed from openings (26, 28) provided in the first resin sheet (22) such that the extending sections operate as the external connecting terminals.
