PIGMENT-SENSITIZED SOLAR BATTERY

摘要

Provided is a pigment-sensitized solar battery wherein a pair of electrode plates (1),(1') of which one is opaque or translucent and the other is transparent are stuck together using a sealing material (7), with the electrically conductive electrode surfaces on the inside, enclosing a liquid electrolyte. The sealing material (7) comprises a photo-polymerizable composition, having an addition elastomer derivative with one or more terminal (meth)acryloyl group(s) as the main component, which has been cured by photo-polymerization. The parts of the electrode plates (1),(1') in contact with the sealing material (7) are covered with a (meth)acryloxyalkylsilane type silane coupling agent. Hence the sealing of the pigment-sensitized solar battery is very tight and the durability is excellent.
