DIE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELLS INCLUDING POLYMER ELECTROLYTE CONTAINING CONDUCTIVE PARTICLES SUSPENDED THEREIN AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

A dye-sensitized solar cell including polymerelectrolyte containing conductive particles and a method for manufacturing the same are provided to enhance energy conversion efficiency by using polymerelectrolyte. A semiconductor electrode(10) includes a first conductive substrate(12), a metal oxide semiconductor layer(14) formed on the first conductive substrate, and a dye molecule layer absorbed into the metal oxide semiconductor layer. A counter electrode(20) includes a second conductive substrate(22) and a metal layer(24) formed on the second conductive substrate. An electrolyte(50) is inserted between the semiconductor electrode and the counter electrode. The electrolyte includes a polymerelectrolyte(52) and a plurality of conductive particles(54) dispersed into the polymerelectrolyte.
