Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a solar cell, and more particularly to a Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) commonly known as a third-generation organic solar cell. [Prior Art] According to the problem of energy shortage, it is no longer possible to ignore it. Therefore, more and more alternative energy technologies have been published. Among them, the most alternative to power systems, and solar cells are one of them* At present, solar cells in the field of solar cells have been made from solar cells commonly known as first-generation germanium wafers, solar cells made of second-generation gallium arsenide (GaAs), and have evolved into the third generation of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). ). The former two have the advantages of early development, high efficiency and wide application, but they are also difficult to produce and expensive. The production cost of the second generation solar cell is cheaper than that of the first generation solar cell, but it is used. Kun is a toxic heavy metal that causes serious pollution to the environment. The third generation of sensitized dye solar cells are mainly made of transparent glass made of conductive glass and dye-sensitized porous semiconductor. The material, the electrolyte and the counter electrode are easy to manufacture, and have many advantages such as large-area production, light transmissibility, simple process, low cost, and flexibility. Therefore, it is expected to replace the first one. Generation and second generation solar cells. However, the dye-sensitized solar cell is a chemical battery, and the presence of an electrolyte is necessary, and the currently used electrolyte can be classified into three types: liquid, colloidal, and solid, and among them, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the liquid electrolyte. The highest, is the choice of the best redox materials, so most of the sensitizing dye solar cells can still be based on liquid electrolytes, while the liquid electrolysis 201025626 is made of (4) mechanically dissolved cesium with high volatility, and, sensitive The susceptibility of the solar lining pool also increases the difficulty of encapsulation of the electrolyte. Relatively speaking, the organic solvent is easily volatilized due to poor packaging or aging, and the battery is greatly reduced in efficiency due to electrolyte imbalance or electrolyte leakage. The invention is a conventional sensitized dye solar cell structure having a transparent substrate 52 carrying a conductive film 51, and a semiconductor layer 54 carrying the photosensitive dye 53 and a spacer between the two transparent substrates 52. The opposite electrode 56 is provided with an electrolyte 58 between the semiconductor layer 54 and the opposite electrode 54 and is externally closed by the sealing knee 60 The conductor layer 54, the opposite electric drain 56, and the electrolysis (4) ' thereby avoiding the contact of the electrolyte 58 with the negative electrode, but the perfusion hole 52 for injecting the electrolyte 58 by the battery is sealed with the cover glass 62 and the thermal seal 64. The adhesion is less than ideal. After long-term exposure to high temperature exposure or high fishing environment, the hot melt 64 will cause aging to cause leakage. Secondly, the transparent substrate resistivity of the dyed battery is quite high, so the current conduction distance in the battery must be less than 1 cm, so that the battery efficiency can be avoided due to the loss of internal resistance, and the sensitized dye solar cell is required to generate electricity. When the amount reaches high power and high wattage, many small-area battery cells must be properly serially and parallelly designed. Therefore, large-area sensitive dye cells must first make internal current collection lines for most battery cells to improve their capacity. Conversion efficiency, and then the internal current collection line is brought out to form an external conductor to obtain the required power. At present, the battery module structure published at home and abroad can be roughly divided into, for example, the second (a) figure, type 0, first (b) The z-type of the figure, the W-type of the second (C) diagram, the S-type of the second (d) diagram, and the pattern published by the Republic of China Patent No. 1241721, except for the g-type. It is necessary to cut off the conductive film, but its efficiency is not good. The other four must cut the conductive film by laser scribing or knife wheel line drawing, so that the battery module array is 2~η rows, then use conductive material The method of printing of complex cross 201025626 repeatedly transferred 'to make the desired battery module, however such strict manufacturing process too complicated β view, to provide a dye-sensitized cell of the present invention, effective to improve the problem of the plurality. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a sensitized dye solar cell which can effectively reduce the possibility of volatilization of an organic solvent in an electrolyte, and can strengthen the battery structure to prevent electrolyte extravasation, thereby further facilitating long-term use of the battery. 0 The secondary object of the present invention is to provide a sensitized dye solar cell, which does not need to be cut when it is produced in a large area, and is connected to the outside of the battery unit directly after the completion of the production, thereby reducing the large-area process. The cumbersome steps to shorten the battery module production time. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a sensitized dye solar cell which enhances the effect of repeated reflection of light in a battery module, resulting in higher photoelectric conversion efficiency. For the above purposes, the dye-sensitized solar cell disclosed by the present invention comprises a first moon-permeable substrate, a first transparent substrate, a semiconductor layer, a counter electrode, a frame glue, and a plug; The transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate are disposed opposite to each other, and the inner surface of each transparent substrate carries a conductive film, and the second transparent substrate has a filling hole. The semiconductor layer is disposed on the conductive film of the first transparent substrate and carries a photosensitive dye, wherein the opposite electrode layer is disposed on the conductive film of the second transparent substrate and faces the semiconductor layer, and the electrolyte is located between the semiconductor layer and the opposite electrode layer, and is covered by the sealant of the sealant to avoid Electrolyte extravasation; embolization is to close the perfusion hole of the second transparent substrate through the adhesive, so that the electrolyte has no extravasation.

The optical reflective layer 26 is made of a reflective material, a reflective lens or a diffusion sheet, which is placed on the outer surface of the second transparent substrate 14, which can increase the light reflection effect in the battery and improve the light utilization efficiency. Thereby, the dye-sensitized solar cell of the invention is used as a sealing material and a perfusion hole material of the second transparent substrate by using a material which is not susceptible to corrosion and aging, thereby strengthening the battery structure, effectively avoiding the possibility of electrolyte extravasation and reducing the organic solvent in the electrolyte.
