PHOTO-ELECTRODES EQUIPPED MESO POROUS METAL OXIDE LAYER FOR DYE-SENSITIZED PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL AND METHOD FOR PREPARING THE SAME

摘要

A photo-electrode for a dye-sensitive photovoltaic cell and a manufacturing method thereof are provided to improve photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic cell by enhancing an adhesive property between a substrate and a thick film. A photo-electrode for a dye-sensitive photovoltaic cell includes a conductive substrate(12), a meso porous metal oxide film(13), and a porous film(14). The meso porous metal oxide film is formed on one surface of the substrate and contains a metal oxide. The porous film is formed on the meso porous metal oxide film and contains metal oxide nano particles. A photo-sensitive dye is attached to a surface of the porous film. The meso porous metal oxide film and the metal oxide are selected from the group consisting of a titanium oxide, a zirconium oxide, a strontium oxide, a zinc oxide, an indium oxide, a lanthanoids oxide, a vanadium oxide, a molybdenum oxide, a tungsten oxide, a tin oxide, a niobium oxide, a magnesium oxide, an aluminum oxide, an yttrium oxide, a scandium oxide, a samarium oxide, a gallium oxide, and an SrTi oxide.
