Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dye-sensitized solar cell.
- solar cells such as single crystal, polycrystalline or amorphous silicon solar cells, compound semiconductor solar cells such as CIGS, CdTe, and GaAs, organic thin film solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells.
- silicon solar cells are the mainstream.
- a silicon-type solar cell requires a high-purity silicon material.
- silicon type solar cells need to be manufactured under high temperature and high vacuum, and there is room for improvement in terms of high manufacturing cost.
- dye-sensitized solar cells have attracted attention.
- the dye-sensitized solar cell can be easily manufactured because of its simple structure, and the constituent materials are abundant.
- the dye-sensitized solar cell can be manufactured at low cost and has high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Therefore, the dye-sensitized solar cell has attracted attention as a next-generation solar cell.
- the dye-sensitized solar cell has a simple method of sealing and connecting the photoelectrode and the counter electrode after injecting an electrolytic solution having reversible electrochemical redox characteristics between the photoelectrode and the counter electrode. Can be built.
- the photoelectrode is conventionally produced by the following method. First, a paste containing titanium oxide fine particles is coated on the surface of a glass substrate on which a transparent conductive film such as ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) or FTO (Fluorine Tin Oxide) is formed. Next, the obtained coating is heat-treated at a temperature of 400 to 500 ° C. to produce an electrode having a porous titanium oxide layer. Next, a photoelectrode in which the dye sensitizer is adsorbed on the surface of the porous titanium oxide by immersing the obtained electrode in an organic solution containing a dye sensitizer such as a ruthenium dye or an indoline dye Is made.
- a dye sensitizer such as a ruthenium dye or an indoline dye Is made.
- the counter electrode is produced by forming a catalyst layer (for example, a platinum layer) that exhibits an electrochemical reduction action on a glass substrate on which a transparent conductive film is formed by a technique such as sputtering.
- a catalyst layer for example, a platinum layer
- the transparent conductive film constituting the photoelectrode and the counter electrode has a relatively large electric resistance. Therefore, there is room for improvement in that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the obtained dye-sensitized solar cell is significantly reduced when the coating area of titanium oxide (area of the transparent conductive film) is increased. Moreover, the electrical resistance of a transparent conductive film becomes large by the heat processing at the time of producing a porous titanium oxide layer (titanium oxide sintered body). Therefore, there is room for improvement in that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell is reduced.
- This technique has a lower electrical resistance value than a conventional glass substrate on which a transparent conductive film is formed, and has corrosion resistance against iodine and the like contained in an electrolyte solution used in a dye-sensitized solar cell.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a semiconductor film that is a porous titania film that has adsorbed a dye sensitizer, an electrode that supports the semiconductor film, a counter electrode that is placed facing the electrode, and an electrode and a counter electrode.
- a dye-sensitized solar cell is disclosed that includes an electrolyte layer responsible for charge transport between the two.
- a metal substrate is used as an electrode carrying a porous titania film adsorbed with a dye sensitizer, a conductive film having an opening is used as a counter electrode, and the counter electrode side is a light receiving surface. It is.
- the metal substrate is made of titanium or the like, and the conductive film is platinum or the like.
- the opening has a mesh shape or a stripe shape.
- this dye-sensitized solar cell requires light irradiation from the counter electrode side, and light reaches the dye adsorbed on the porous titania film of the electrode through the colored electrolyte solution. Therefore, there is room for improvement in that the light is attenuated and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the obtained dye-sensitized solar cell is lowered.
- the present inventor has developed a new dye-sensitized solar cell (Patent Document 2).
- the photoelectrode and the counter electrode are arranged to face each other with an electrolyte layer interposed therebetween.
- the photoelectrode is dye-sensitized on a titanium material having an opening.
- a semiconductor layer containing an agent is formed,
- a light collecting device is disposed on the titanium material of the photoelectrode, and (3) a fiber member or a glass rod on the titanium material having an opening. The material is embedded.
