Description
本発明は、高い吸光係数を有する、電子移動に優れた耐熱性に優れた金属錯体色素を溶解した耐光性、耐酸化還元性に優れた金属錯体色素溶液を用いることによって作製された、光増感された酸化物半導体を用いた光電変換素子、ならびにそれを用いた光化学電池に関する。 The present invention is a photosensitizer produced by using a metal complex dye solution having a high extinction coefficient, an excellent metal complex dye having excellent electron transfer, and excellent light resistance and redox resistance. The present invention relates to a photoelectric conversion element using a sensed oxide semiconductor, and a photochemical battery using the photoelectric conversion element.
太陽電池はクリーンな再生型エネルギー源として大きく期待されており、単結晶シリコン系、多結晶シリコン系、アモルファスシリコン系の太陽電池やテルル化カドミウム、セレン化インジウム銅などの化合物からなる太陽電池の実用化をめざした研究がなされている。しかし、家庭用電源として普及させるためには、いずれの電池も製造コストが高いことや原材料の確保が困難なことやリサイクルの問題、また大面積化が困難であるなど克服しなければならない多くの問題を抱えている。そこで、大面積化や低価格化を目指し有機材料を用いた太陽電池が提案されてきたが、いずれも変換効率が1%程度と実用化にはほど遠いものであった。 Solar cells are highly expected as a clean renewable energy source. Practical use of single-crystal silicon-based, polycrystalline silicon-based, amorphous silicon-based solar cells and solar cells composed of compounds such as cadmium telluride and indium copper selenide Research has been conducted with the aim of making it easier. However, in order to disseminate it as a household power source, many of the batteries that must be overcome, such as high manufacturing costs, difficulty in securing raw materials, recycling problems, and difficulty in increasing the area. I have a problem. Thus, solar cells using organic materials have been proposed with the aim of increasing the area and reducing the price, but all have a conversion efficiency of about 1%, which is far from practical use.
こうした状況の中、1991年にグレッツェルらによりNatureに色素によって増感された半導体微粒子を用いた光電変換素子および太陽電池、ならびにこの太陽電池の作製に必要な材料および製造技術が開示された。(例えば、Nature、第353巻、737頁、1991年(非特許文献1)、特開平1−220380号公報(特許文献1)など)。この電池はルテニウム色素によって増感された多孔質チタニア薄膜を作用電極とする湿式太陽電池である。この太陽電池の利点は、安価な材料を高純度に精製する必要がなく用いられるため、安価な光電変換素子として提供できること、さらに用いられる色素の吸収がブロードであり、広い可視光の波長域にわたって太陽光を電気に変換できることである。しかしながら実用化のためにはさらなる変換効率の向上が必要であり、より高い吸光係数を有し、より高波長域まで光を吸収する色素の開発が望まれている。 Under such circumstances, in 1991, Gretzel et al. Disclosed a photoelectric conversion element and a solar cell using semiconductor fine particles sensitized with a dye in Nature, and materials and manufacturing techniques necessary for the production of the solar cell. (For example, Nature, Volume 353, page 737, 1991 (Non-Patent Document 1), JP-A-1-220380 (Patent Document 1), etc.). This battery is a wet solar cell using a porous titania thin film sensitized with a ruthenium dye as a working electrode. The advantage of this solar cell is that it can be used as an inexpensive photoelectric conversion element because it is not necessary to purify an inexpensive material with high purity, and further, the absorption of the dye used is broad, and over a wide visible light wavelength range. It can convert sunlight into electricity. However, further improvement in conversion efficiency is necessary for practical use, and development of a dye having a higher extinction coefficient and absorbing light up to a higher wavelength region is desired.

また、色素増感太陽電池の最新技術(株式会社シーエムシー、2001年5月25日発行、117頁)(非特許文献2)には、多核β−ジケトナート錯体色素が開示されている。
また、特開2004−359677号公報(特許文献3)には、光などの活性光線のエネルギーを受けて電子を取り出す光電変換機能の優れた新規な複核錯体として、複数の金属と複数の配位子を有し、その複数の金属に配位する橋かけ配位子(BL)が複素共役環を有する配位構造と複素共役環を有しない配位構造を有する複核錯体が開示されている。また、特開2000−323191にはアシルオキシ基、アシルチオオキシ基等を有する対称な複核錯体が開示されている。(特許文献4)
また、1999年にグレッツェルらによりInorg. Chem.1999、38、6298−6305(非特許文献3)に色素によって増感された半導体微粒子を用いた太陽電池に関して、溶液の調整法が開示された。
