Description

High efficiency dye-sensitized solar cell electrolyte {HIGH EFFICIENCY ELECTROLYTE FOR DYE-SENSITIZED SOLARCELL}

The present invention relates to a dye-sensitized solar cell, and more particularly, to a highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cell that can increase the efficiency of the cell by activating the reaction in the electrolyte by causing vibration of ions and molecules in the electrolyte. An electrolyte and a dye-sensitized solar cell comprising the same.

Recently, a variety of researches are being conducted to replace existing fossil fuels in order to solve the energy problems faced. Extensive research is underway to utilize natural energy sources such as wind, nuclear, and solar power to replace petroleum resources that will be depleted within decades. Among these solar cells, unlike other energy sources, the resources are infinite and environmentally friendly. So, since the development of Se solar cells in 1983, steady research has been continued, and silicon solar cells are in the spotlight recently.

However, since such a silicon solar cell is extremely expensive to manufacture, it is difficult to put it into practical use, and it is difficult to improve the battery efficiency. In order to overcome such problems, development of a dye-sensitized solar cell having a remarkably low manufacturing cost has been actively studied.

Dye-sensitized solar cells, developed in 1991 by Gratzel et al., Switzerland, are photosensitive dye molecules capable of absorbing visible light to produce electron-hole pairs, and nanocrystals that deliver the resulting electrons.

Such a solar cell has a feature of having a photoelectric conversion efficiency that is simple in manufacturing process, low in manufacturing cost, and practically usable as compared with a silicon type solar cell, and many studies have been conducted on this.

In general, the dye-sensitized solar cell comprises a semiconductor electrode, a counter electrode, a liquid electrolyte. The semiconductor electrode is a porous nano oxide layer on a transparent substrate and a transparent conductive oxide layer formed on the transparent substrate, for example, a porous nano oxide layer on a conductive transparent substrate including fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) or indium tin oxide (ITO). Has a structure in which dye is adsorbed. The counter electrode has a structure in which a platinum catalyst layer is formed on a conductive transparent substrate including a transparent substrate and a transparent conductive oxide layer formed on the transparent substrate to promote a reduction reaction of the electrolyte in the liquid electrolyte. In the liquid electrolyte, a solution in which an electrolyte is dissolved is generally used. The liquid electrolyte is disposed between the semiconductor electrode and the counter electrode to be in contact with both electrodes electrochemically. Here, a sidewall made of a thermoplastic polymer resin or the like is formed between the semiconductor electrode and the counter electrode to form a space in which the electrolyte is injected between the semiconductor electrode and the counter electrode.

Such dye-sensitized solar cells are attracting attention because they are cheaper to manufacture than conventional silicon solar cells and can be applied to glass windows or glass greenhouses due to transparent electrodes, but they are practically applied due to their low photoelectric conversion efficiency. There is a limit.
