Dye sensitized solar cell and method of fabricating the same

摘要

A method for easily forming a dye-sensitized solar cell having a thick porous layer without increasing a thickness of a collector electrode. The dye-sensitized solar cell includes a light transmissive substrate and a plurality of recesses formed on the light transmissive substrate. Each recess has an opening partitioned by a partition wall. The solar cell also includes a collector electrode that covers the partition wall. The collector electrode has an end face on a bottom surface of the recess. The solar cell also includes a porous layer that covers the light transmissive substrate within each recess and the collector electrode. At least one kind of sensitizing dye is absorbed in the porous layer.
