Embodiment 1

[0101] Titanium oxide paste (1 layer of HT paste, 5 layers of D paste, manufactured by Solaronics Co., Ltd.) was coated on a glass substrate with a thickness of 20 μm, and fired at 500° C. for 30 minutes to form titanium oxide (titanium oxide layer, porous semiconductor layer) . On the titanium oxide surface of the sintered substrate, tetrapod crystals of zinc oxide (trade name Panatetra, maximum size range 2 to 20 μm: manufactured by Matsushita Electric Works) were dispersed by the electron spray method. Thereafter, a Ti film (Ti layer) (film thickness: 300 nm) was formed by sputtering. Rinse with dilute hydrochloric acid to remove residual tetraneedle crystals. Thus, a porous Ti layer was produced.

[0102] Next, the substrate on which the Ti layer was formed was immersed (20 hours) in a 0.05 wt % dye solution (black dye, manufactured by Soralonics, acetonitrile:tert-butanol=1:1).

[0103] As the counter electrode, fluorine-doped tin oxide glass (manufactured by Solaronic...

Embodiment 2

[0106] Instead of directly using tetrapod crystals of zinc oxide (trade name Pana Tetra: Panasonic Electric Works), pulverize tetrapod crystals of zinc oxide (Pana Tetra: manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd.), use needle-shaped zinc oxide crystals, and use The same method as in Example 1 was used to manufacture 5mm square and 50mm square batteries.

[0107] When the characteristics of the fabricated 5 mm square solar cell were evaluated in the same manner as in Example 1, an efficiency of 10.7% was obtained. In addition, the efficiency of the produced 50mm square is 8%, and even if the area is increased, the performance drops very little.

Embodiment 3

[0112] Titanium oxide slurry (P25, water / ethanol mixed solvent) with a thickness of 10 μm was coated on a PET substrate (thickness 1 mm), and heated at 150° C. for 30 minutes to form titanium oxide (titanium oxide layer, porous semiconductor layer). On this substrate, tetrapod crystals of zinc oxide (trade name Panatetra, maximum size range 2 to 20 μm, manufactured by Matsushita Electric Works Co., Ltd.) were dispersed on the surface of titanium oxide by the electron spray method. Thereafter, a Ti film (film thickness: 300 nm) was formed by sputtering. Rinse with dilute hydrochloric acid to remove residual zinc oxide balls. Thus, a porous Ti layer was produced.

[0113] Next, the substrate on which the Ti layer was formed was immersed (20 hours) in a 0.05 wt % dye solution (black dye, manufactured by Soralonics, acetonitrile:tert-butanol=1:1).

[0114] A platinum sputtered titanium plate (manufactured by Solaronics) was used as the counter electrode. The substrate on which ...

Abstract

There are provided a dye-sensitized solar cell which can simply be manufactured, has a high power extraction efficiency, and is suitable for its upsizing, and a method for manufacturing the dye-sensitized solar cell. The dye-sensitized solar cell is provided with a transparent substrate 12, a porous semiconductor layer 14 having a dye adsorbed thereon, a conductive metal film 16, and a substrate having a conductive film, and has an electrolyte between the conductive metal film 16 and the substrate having a conductive film. A large number of deep poriform through-holes are irregularly formed in the conductive metal film 16. The conductive metal film 16 is electrically connected to an external electrode. The through-holes are obtained by forming the conductive metal film 16 on a microparticle layer formed by disposing a microparticle 28 having a shape anisotropy on the porous semiconductor layer 14, and then eliminating the microparticle layer by heating or solvent cleaning.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a dye-sensitized solar cell and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] The dye-sensitized solar cell is called a wet solar cell or a Gratzel cell, and has an electrochemical cell structure represented by an iodine solution without using a silicon semiconductor. Specifically, a pair of porous semiconductor layers such as a titanium dioxide layer formed by sintering titanium dioxide powder or the like on a transparent conductive glass plate (transparent substrate laminated with a transparent conductive film), and a conductive glass plate (conductive substrate) A simple structure in which an iodine solution or the like is placed between electrodes as an electrolyte. [0003] Dye-sensitized solar cells are attracting attention as low-cost solar cells because materials are cheap and large-scale facilities are not required for production. [0004] For dye-sensitized solar cells, the further improveme...
