Dye-sensitizing solar cell, method for manufacturing dye-sensitizing solar cell and solar cell module

A method for manufacturing a dye-sensitizing solar cell, the method comprising:

• forming a semiconductor layer on a first or second substrate;
• opposing the first and second substrates to each other in spaced-apart relationship;
• sealing peripheral edges of the first and second substrates with a glass frit to form a closed space between the first and second substrates;
• forming openings for communicating the closed space with the outside in at least two positions;
• circulating a dye solution within the closed space through the openings so that the dye is adsorbed on the semiconductor layer;
• and
• discharging remaining dye solution and then injecting a redox electrolyte into the closed space.

A method for manufacturing a dye-sensitizing solar cell, the method comprising:

• forming a semiconductor layer so as to be supported by a first substrate;
• opposing the first substrate to a second substrate in a spaced-apart relationship;
• sealing the first and second substrates with a seal in a manner so as to form a closed space between the first and second substrates;
• forming at least one opening for communicating the closed space with the outside;
• introducing a dye solution into the closed space through the opening so that the dye is adsorbed on the semiconductor layer;
• and
• discharging remaining dye solution from the closed space and thereafter injecting a redox electrolyte into the closed space.

A dye-sensitizing solar cell comprising:

• a first substrate, and a first conductive layer formed on the first substrate;
• a second substrate, and a second conductive layer formed on a surface of the second substrate, one of the first and second substrates being transparent;
• at least one spacer interposed between the first and second conductive layers whereby the first and second substrates are spaced by a distance with the first and second conductive layers facing each other;
• a semiconductor layer having a dye adsorbed thereon, the semiconductor layer being formed on the first conductive layer;
• a glass frit provided between the first and second conductive layers to surround the semiconductor layer and define a closed space between the semiconductor layer and the second conductive layer;
• a redox electrolyte for filling up the closed space;
• and
• wherein the spacer is buried in the glass frit.
