Title:
TANDEM SOLAR CELL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/173180
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A solar cell is configured by: arranging two glass substrates, each of which is provided with a transparent conductive film, so that the transparent conductive films face each other; disposing a titanium dioxide layer on one glass substrate; disposing silicon dioxide particles on the other glass substrate; and filling the space between the two glass substrates with an electrolyte. The glass substrate on which light is not incident may alternatively be a metal plate. A sensitizing dye such as a ruthenium complex may be adsorbed onto the titanium dioxide layer or the silicon dioxide layer. Since the titanium dioxide layer generates electric power by means of ultraviolet light incident thereon and the silicon dioxide layer generates electric power by means of visible light and infrared light incident thereon, the comprehensive conversion efficiency of the solar cell is increased.
