DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELLS INCLUDING TITANIUM SILICALITE-2

摘要

PURPOSE: A dye-sensitized solar cells including titanium silicalite-2 is provided to improve photo conversion efficiency by stabilizing a photocurrent characteristic while increasing photocurrent without reducing a photovoltage. CONSTITUTION: A semiconductor electrode(10) includes a mixture layer(14) of a transition metal oxide and titanium silicalite-2. An electrolyte solution(30) is interposed between the semiconductor electrode and an electrode(20) confronting the semiconductor electrode. The semiconductor electrode is composed of a conductive transparent substrate and the mixture layer coated on the transparent substrate. The semiconductor electrode further includes a dye molecule layer chemically absorbed to the transition metal oxide.
