MANUFACTURING METHODS OF ELECTRODE COMPRISING OXIDE SEMICONDUCTOR LAYER AND TRANSPARENT CONDUCTING LAYER WITH ELECTROCHEMICAL OXIDATION AND APPLICATION OF THE SAME TO DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL ELECTRODE

摘要

A method for manufacturing a stacked electrode using an electrochemical oxidation method and an application of the same to a dye-sensitized solar cell electrode are provided to enhance largely photoelectric conversion efficiency by recovering the resistance of a transparent electrode at a low level. An oxide semiconductor precursor is coated on a transparent conductive layer. The transparent conductive layer coated with the oxide semiconductor precursor is processed thermally in atmosphere of oxidation. A stacked electrode of an oxide semiconductor layer and the transparent conducting layer is formed by processing thermally the transparent conducting layer. A thermal process for the stacked electrode is performed under the atmosphere of reduction. An electrochemical oxidation is performed after the thermal process is performed under the atmosphere of reduction.
