Title:
FUNCTIONAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/122965
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This invention provides a functional device, which is suitable, for example, for dye-sensitized solar cells and has a structure suitable for a thickness reduction, and a method for manufacturing the functional device with high productivity. A dye-sensitized photoelectric converter (10) comprises, for example, a transparent substrate (1) formed of, for example, glass, a transparent electroconductive layer (2) formed of, for example, FTO, a semiconductor electrode layer (a negative electrode) (3), which holds a photosensitization dye, an electrolyte layer (4), a film-shaped counter electrode (a positive electrode) (5), a film-shaped exterior material (6) alternative to the conventional counter substrate, a sealing material (7), wiring (8) for current collection, and a wiring protective layer (9). A material, which has barrier properties high enough to inhibit the passage of solvents, gases or water, and has excellent organic solvent resistance and heat resistance, is preferred as the material for the film-shaped exterior material (6). The converter (10) is sealed by joining the transparent substrate (1) to the film-shaped exterior material (6). Before the introduction of an electrolysis solution, a part (11b) of a joint (11) remains unjoined as an introduction port for the elctrolysis solution, and joining is carried out after the introduction of the electrolysis solution. Accordingly, end sealing is unnecessary.
