DYE-SENSITIZED PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed is a dye-sensitized photovoltaic device in which a metal complex dye represented by Formula (1), or a salt thereof, is carried on a thin film of oxide semiconductor micrograins disposed on a substrate. (In Formula (1), m 1 represents an integer from 1 to 2 and n 1 represents an integer from 1 to 3. X 1 represents an oxygen atom or sulfur atom. Y 1 and Y 2 each independently represent a thiocyanate group (-SCN) or isothiocyanate group (-NCS). M 1 and M 2 represent hydrogen atoms. R 1 and R 2 represent hydrogen atoms. R 3 and R 4 each independently represent a straight-chain alkyl group with 1 to 6 carbons. Further, when m 1 is 2 and there are multiple of each of R 3 and R 4 , each of R 3 and R 4 may be the same as or different from one another.)
