기존의 실리콘 태양전지는 높은 가격과 원료고갈(실리콘)의 문제를 안고 있고, 순수 유기 태양전지는 화학적 불안전성과 낮은 에너지 변화효율로 인하여 아직은 순수 기초연구에 주력하고 있는 상황이다. 따라서 낮은 가격과 비교적 높은 변화효율을 가지고 있는 염료감응 태양전지의 개발이 부각되고 있다.Existing silicon solar cells have problems of high price and raw material depletion (silicon), and pure organic solar cells are still focusing on pure basic research due to chemical instability and low energy change efficiency. Therefore, the development of dye-sensitized solar cells with low price and relatively high change efficiency is emerging.

상기 염료감응 태양전지는 가시광선을 흡수하여 전자-홀 쌍(electron-hole pair)을 생성할 수 있는 감광성 염료분자와, 생성된 전자를 전달하는 전이금속 산화물을 주된 구성 재료로 하는 광전기화학적 태양전지이다.The dye-sensitized solar cell is a photoelectrochemical solar cell mainly composed of a photosensitive dye molecule capable of absorbing visible light to generate an electron-hole pair, and a transition metal oxide for transferring the generated electrons. to be.

상기 염료감응 태양전지의 음극은 유리기판상에 형성된 투명 도전막과 이산화티탄과 같은 산화물 반도체 나노 입자로 이루어진 산화물 반도체막으로 구성된다. 상기 산화물 반도체막상에는 염료 고분자가 흡착 등의 방법으로 제공된다. 상기 염료 감응 태양전지의 양극(상대전극)으로는 통상적으로 백금과 같은 물질이 사용되며 유리기판상에 제공된다. 음극과 상대전극이 합착된 사이에는 전해질이 제공된다. 이와 같은 구조로 이루어진 염료감응 태양전지는 식물의 광합성 원리를 응용하는 전지이다. 염료에 의한 광전현상에 관해서는 1887년 비엔나 대학의 모세르(Moser) 박사에 의해 보고된 이후 꾸준히 연구되어 왔으며, 현재는 1993년 에콜 폴리테크 페데랄(Ecole Polytechnique Federale)의 그라첼(Gratzel) 교수의 연구팀에 의해 보고된 Ru계 염료와 I-/I3-전해질을 사용한 10% 대의 최고 효율을 지닌 통칭 그라첼(Gratzel) 전지가 주로 연구되고 있다.The cathode of the dye-sensitized solar cell is composed of an oxide semiconductor film made of a transparent conductive film formed on a glass substrate and oxide semiconductor nanoparticles such as titanium dioxide. On the oxide semiconductor film, a dye polymer is provided by a method such as adsorption. As the anode (relative electrode) of the dye-sensitized solar cell, a material such as platinum is generally used and provided on a glass substrate. An electrolyte is provided between the negative electrode and the counter electrode. Dye-sensitized solar cells made of such a structure is a battery applying the photosynthesis principle of plants. Dye photoelectric phenomena have been steadily studied since it was reported by Dr. Moser of the University of Vienna in 1887 and is now Professor Gratzel of Ecole Polytechnique Federale in 1993. The most commonly known Grazelzel cells with Ru-based dyes and I- / I3-electrolytes reported by the team have been studied.

전술한 바와 같이, 염료감응 태양전지의 음극은 투명 도전막과 산화물 반도체막의 적층 구조로 이루어지는데, 반도체 산화막의 형성 과정에서 도입된 열처리에 의해 투명 도전막이 산화되는 것이 불가피하고, 따라서 투명 도전막의 전기적 특성이 열화되게 된다는 문제점을 가지고 있으며 공정이 복잡하거나 제조비용이 크다는 단점이 있다.As described above, the cathode of the dye-sensitized solar cell has a laminated structure of a transparent conductive film and an oxide semiconductor film, and it is inevitable that the transparent conductive film is oxidized by the heat treatment introduced in the process of forming the semiconductor oxide film. There is a problem in that the characteristics are deteriorated, there is a disadvantage that the process is complicated or expensive manufacturing.

이에 본 발명자들은 염료감응 태양전지의 적층 전극의 제조시 열처리에 의한 전기적 특성의 열화를 방지할 수 있으며, 광전변환효율이 보다 향상된 염료감응 태양전지를 발견하고 본 발명을 완성하였다.Accordingly, the present inventors can prevent the deterioration of the electrical properties by heat treatment during the manufacture of the laminated electrode of the dye-sensitized solar cell, and found a dye-sensitized solar cell with improved photoelectric conversion efficiency and completed the present invention.
