Description
The present invention relates to a solar cell, and more particularly, to a dye-sensitized solar cell having a partition wall for effectively sealing an electrolyte between a semiconductor electrode and an opposite electrode.
Due to the deregulation of carbon dioxide emissions and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves, interest and efforts in the solar cell sector to use solar energy as electrical energy using semiconductors are increasing due to rising energy prices.
Dye-sensitized solar cells, unlike conventional silicon solar cells by pn junctions, are photosensitive dye molecules capable of absorbing visible light and generating electron-hole pairs, and transferring the generated electrons. It is a photoelectrochemical solar cell using a transition metal oxide as a main constituent material.
Representative examples of the dye-sensitized solar cells known to date include a photoelectrochemical solar cell composed of a nanoparticle oxide semiconductor electrode, an opposite electrode, a dye molecule coated on the semiconductor electrode, and an oxidation / reduction electrolyte. Here, the dye molecules serve to absorb visible light to generate electron-hole pairs, and the nanoparticle oxide semiconductor electrode serves to transfer generated electrons. The dye-sensitized solar cell configured as described above has been attracting attention because it has a possibility of replacing the silicon solar cell due to the advantage that the manufacturing cost is lower than the conventional silicon solar cell. However, in the conventional dye-sensitized solar cell, the liquid electrolyte present between the semiconductor electrode and the counter electrode may leak out due to environmental changes such as temperature, wind, rain, snow, etc. There is a problem that the sealing function of the electrolyte is not maintained for a long time. Accordingly, the life of the solar cell is reduced, causing a fatal problem in durability, and efforts to secure long-term stability of the Tae-ang battery have been concentrated.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, by effectively sealing an electrolyte filled between a semiconductor electrode and an opposite electrode, and preventing the electrolyte of the liquid component from leaking to the outside. It is to provide a dye-sensitized solar cell that can secure long-term stability.
In order to achieve the above object, the dye-sensitized solar cell according to the present invention is a semiconductor electrode, the counter electrode, an electrolyte solution interposed between the semiconductor electrode and the counter electrode, the semiconductor electrode and the counter electrode and And a partition wall formed of a plurality of resin layers formed between the semiconductor electrode and the counter electrode in order to seal the electrolyte solution therebetween.
The plurality of resin layers may include an innermost resin layer in contact with an electrolyte solution, an outermost resin layer in contact with the outside, and an intermediate resin layer interposed between the innermost resin layer and the outermost resin layer. .
The innermost resin layer, the outermost resin layer, and the intermediate resin layer may each be made of different materials.
The innermost resin layer, the outermost resin layer, and the intermediate resin layer may each be made of a thermoplastic resin, a thermosetting resin, or an ultraviolet curable resin.
The plurality of resin layers may include a resin layer to which an inorganic oxide is added.
The dye-sensitized solar cell according to the present invention includes a partition wall composed of a plurality of resin layers. By sealing the electrolyte solution filled between the positive electrode and the negative electrode by the partition wall formed of the plurality of resin layers, it is possible to provide a dye-sensitized solar cell with remarkably improved durability and long-term safety in a low-cost manufacturing process, The reduction in energy change efficiency can be significantly reduced.
In particular, the innermost resin layer in contact with the electrolyte solution in the plurality of resin layers constituting the partition wall is formed of a resin having excellent chemical resistance to improve the resistance characteristics against chemical erosion of the electrolyte solution, the outermost contact with the outside The resin layer may be formed of a resin having excellent resistance to external moisture or air penetration, thereby preventing external air or moisture from penetrating into the dye-sensitized solar cell, thereby removing the cause of decreasing energy conversion efficiency. In addition, the intermediate resin layer between the innermost resin layer and the outermost resin layer may be formed using a resin having excellent adhesion so as to bond them between the anode and the cathode, thereby improving adhesion between the two electrodes. . Accordingly, the dye-sensitized solar cell according to the present invention may have improved long-term stability and improved durability compared to the solar cell according to the prior art.
