Photoelectric converter and method for manufacturing same

Abstract

Disclosed is a photoelectric converter which comprises a case and a laminated body housed in the case. The laminated body comprises a working electrode, a counter electrode, and an electrolyte layer arranged between the working electrode and the counter electrode. The laminated body also comprises a case overlaying the laminated body; and a cover, fixing the cascade body on the case, wherein, the case overlaying the area corresponding to a position formed with an electric conductor on the working electrode.

Specifically, it relates to a battery body which has a laminated body formed by sandwiching an electrolyte layer between a working electrode and a counter electrode, without applying a load such as heating, and which can integrally seal battery components and a packaging material arranged outside it at once. A photoelectric conversion element, a m...

Problems solved by technology

At this time, the heat is transmitted to the dye-sensitized semiconductor electrode 103 through the first substrate 101, so it may have an adverse effect on the dye adsorbed on the dye-sensitized semiconductor electrode 103.

[0019] Moreover, since the sealant 107 is made of resin, there is a problem of weather resistance in long-term use.

[0020] Moreover, when injecting the electrolyte, it is necessary to thermally bond two electrode plates to form the shape of the battery, and then inject the electrolyte into the two electrodes that define a very narrow space through the pre-opened injection port 110, and finally The cap 111 is added to the injection port 110, so there is a problem that the manufacturing process is complicated

Moreover, if the viscosity of the electrolyte solution is high, it takes a lot of time and effort to inject the electrolyte solution, which leads to an increase in manufacturing cost

[0021] Moreover, since the sealing material 107 is made of a thermoplastic resin, it has poor weather resistance, so there is a problem that it is not suitable for long-term use.
