<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dye-sensitized solar cell and a method of sealing it involving less deterioration of a sensitizing dye at the time of manufacture and capable of sealing electrodes and electrolytic solution. <P>SOLUTION: The dye-sensitized solar cell is equipped with a counter-electrode base board 11, a transparent base board 12 made of glass installed confronting one surface of the counter-electrode base board, a catalyst electrode 13 installed on the mentioned surface of the counter-electrode base board, a semiconductor electrode 14 having the sensitizing dye installed on the surface confronting the counter-electrode base board of the transparent base board, the electrolytic solution 17 contained at least in the semiconductor electrode and put fully between the catalyst electrode and the semiconductor electrode, and walls 18 provided between the counter-electrode base board and the transparent base board and around the catalyst electrode and the semiconductor electrode. Each wall is formed in the part where the wall part of a glass base board to become transparent base board is formed, from a substance generated by melting and solidifying the mentioned part of formation with a laser beam cast from the vertical direction on the transparent base board side. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
