PHOTOELECTRODE OF DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL CONTAINING GLASS POWDER

摘要

A dye-sensitized solar cell containing glass powder and a method of manufacturing the same. The dye-sensitized solar cell is composed of a counter electrode obtained by forming a conductive light-transmitting layer on a light-transmitting material and then depositing a platinum catalyst layer on the conductive light-transmitting layer, a photoelectrode obtained by forming a conductive light-transmitting layer on a light-transmitting material, applying a mixture of transition metal oxide and glass powder on the conductive light -transmitting layer and then adsorbing a dye in the mixture, and an electrolyte solution between the counter electrode and the photoelectrode, the mixture layer of the photoelectrode containing 0.01-20 wt% of glass powder based on the total weight of the mixture. The glass powder mixed in the preparation of the photoelectrode can improve dispersion properties of light and can enhance use efficiency of light, thereby increasing the energy conversion efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell.
