Dye-sensitized solar cell

Abstract

A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) is provided, which has an elevated voltage and thus an improved performance achieved with an electrolyte formed by mixing multiple redox electrolytes of an electrolyte solution. The DSC includes: a first substrate 20; a first electrode 10, disposed on the first substrate 20; a porous semiconductor layer 12, disposed on the first electrode 10, and containing semiconductor particles 2 and dye molecules 4; an electrolyte solution 14, formed by dissolving a redox electrolyte in a solvent, in contact with the porous semiconductor layer 12; a second electrode 18, in contact with the electrolyte solution 14; a second substrate 22, disposed on the second electrode 18; and a sealant 16, disposed between the first substrate 20 and the second substrate 22, for sealing the electrolyte solution 14. The redox electrolyte includes an electrolyte formed by mixing multiple redox electrolytes.
