Title:
ELECTRODE USED IN DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL, AND COATING COMPOSITION USED FOR PRODUCING THE ELECTRODE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/117062
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is an electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells, which comprises a porous photoelectric conversion layer that exhibits excellent reverse electron blocking performance, while having excellent resistance to the electrolyte and stable high conversion efficiency that does not decrease over time. Specifically disclosed is an electrode used in a dye-sensitized solar cell, which is characterized by being composed of an electrode substrate and a photoelectric conversion coating layer that is formed on the electrode substrate. The electrode used in a dye-sensitized solar cell is also characterized in that the photoelectric conversion coating layer is configured of a porous layer region, in which titanium dioxide crystal particles are distributed in the form of layers, and a titanium complex oxide layer region which is positioned closer to the electrode substrate than the porous layer region, with some of the titanium dioxide crystal particles having entered into the titanium complex oxide layer region.
