Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] 'Especially a stackable dye. The present invention relates to a dye-sensitized solar cell and its battery pack. [Previous technology, solar cell system-a device that directly converts solar energy into electricity. In the twentieth century, Shixi Solar Power, which was first developed by the US Beam Laboratory, developed step by step. The working principle of Shixi Solar Power is the photovoltaic listening of the threat semiconductor. Although the efficiency of photoelectric conversion of silicon solar cells is low, its production is complicated, expensive, and the materials are demanding, which limits its wide application. Dye-sensitized solar cells developed using nanocrystals in the 1990s are expected to replace traditional Shixi solar cells, and thus become a research hotspot in this field. The dye-degrading too-percent-energy battery uses a nano-thin film of a wide band-gap semiconductor formed on a conductive substrate. In its fine surface-doping, the working electrode is formed. The working principle of micronized solar cells is that when dye molecules absorb sunlight, their electrons transition to an excited state and quickly transfer to the semiconductor, while holes remain in the dye. The electrons then diffuse to the conductive substrate and are transferred to the counter electrode via an external circuit. The emulsified dye is reduced by the electrolyte, and the oxidized electrolyte is reduced to the ground state by receiving electrons at the counter electrode. In order to complete the entire transmission process of electrons. Please refer to the first figure. A Chinese patent published on May 22, 2002 with an application number of 14142225 · 3 discloses a nanocrystalline film solar cell electrode related to the field of dye-sensitized solar cell materials and a preparation method thereof. The nanocrystalline film solar cell electrode 30 is formed on a transparent conductive substrate 31 to form a wide band gap semiconductor nanocrystalline film 32. A metal ion adsorption layer 33 is formed on the surface of the nanocrystal film 32, and then a metal ion adsorption layer is formed on the surface. The photosensitizer 34 is adsorbed on 33. Through the surface modification of the metal ions, the nanocrystalline film electrode forms a potential barrier on the surface of the nanocrystalline, which can reduce the charge recombination, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell. In practice, due to the limited power output from a single dye-sensitized solar cell, in order to increase its power generation capacity, many dye-sensitized solar cells are made into a module after becoming a solar module (SolarModule) through a series-parallel combination packaging process. However, dye-sensitized solar cells using the above electrodes as working electrodes must use a transparent conductive substrate containing a nanocrystalline film material as the front light-receiving surface and be directly irradiated with a light source to generate 6 1244215 electricity. When the light source is illuminated from the side of the battery indicated by the arrow in the figure, the dye-sensitized solar cell cannot perform photoelectric conversion. Therefore, when it is used as a battery unit to form a battery pack, the battery cells cannot be stacked and used. Therefore, it needs to be expanded in a large area in actual use, which brings inconvenience to specific implementation, thereby limiting its scope of use. In view of this, it is necessary to provide a dye-sensitized solar cell and a battery pack which can be used in a stack. [Summary of the Invention] In order to solve the problem that conventional dye-sensitized batteries and their battery packs cannot be stacked, a first object of the present invention is to provide a dye-sensitized solar cell that can be used in a stacked manner. It is a second object of the present invention to provide a dye-sensitized solar cell module which can be used in a stack. To achieve the first object, the present invention provides a dye-sensitized solar cell, including: a first electrode including a transparent conductive substrate and a thin film carrying dye molecules formed on the transparent conductive substrate; Two electrodes; and an electrolyte solution between the first and second electrodes; wherein the dye-sensitized solar cell further includes a light guide device with a metal light guide layer, the light guide device being near the first An electrode, so that when the dye-sensitized solar cell works, at least a part of the light is turned by the light guide device and enters the first electrode. In order to achieve the second object, the present invention provides a kind of sensitized solar battery pack, which includes a plurality of dye-sensitized solar cells, each of which includes a first electrode, a second electrical property, and a second electrical property. The electrolyte between two electrodes, wherein the first electrode includes-a transparent conductive substrate and-a thin film formed on the transparent conductive substrate and carrying dye molecules; wherein one battery cell in each of two adjacent battery cells is 7C. The first electrode forms an electrical connection with the second electrode of another battery cell; each battery cell further includes a light-guiding device with a metal conducting green and close to its first electrode to make the dye-sensitized solar cell In group J1, at least part of the light is divided into the first electrodes of the corresponding battery unit after each light guide device is turned. In order to achieve the first objective, the purchase provides another kind of heterosensitized solar battery pack, which includes a plurality of dye-sensitized solar battery cells, each cell unit includes a first electrode, a second electric contact-located at the-and- An electrolyte solution between two electrodes, wherein the first electrode includes a transparent conductive substrate and a thin film carrying dye molecules; wherein each adjacent two battery cells 7 1244215 ^ the first electrode of one battery cell and another battery The second electrode of the unit forms an electrical connection; each battery cell 7L includes-a light guide device with a metal guide and close to the second electrode, so that when the dye-sensitized solar cell group works, every two adjacent cells In the battery, at least part of the light is turned by the light guide device of one battery and enters the first electrode of another battery. Compared with the prior art, the present invention adds a light guide device to each of the battery cells of the dye-sensitized solar cell and the dye-sensitized solar cell group, so that under the condition that the light source is illuminated from its side, the light is directed to the private device through the piezo device. In the pond, the photocell and the battery can perform normal photoelectric conversion. Therefore, the dye-sensitized solar cell can be stacked to form a dye-sensitized solar cell group, which brings convenience for specific implementation and has a wider range of use. [Embodiment] The invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Please refer to the second figure. The dye-sensitized solar cell according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes an H electrode 62 ′ _ second electrode 66 ′-an electrolyte solution between the first and second electrodes 62, 66. = And a metal light guide 8 formed on the first electrode 62. Wherein, when the dye-sensitized solar cell 6 is used, part of the light incident from its side enters the first electrode 62 after turning through the metal light guide layer, wherein the first electrode 62 includes a transparent conductive substrate 621 and a A thin film 623 formed thereon. The transparent conductive substrate 621 may be a fluorine-doped tin dioxide conductive glass. The film must be made of a wide bandgap semiconductor oxide material with a particle size of 1-50 nanometers, such as titanium dioxide, oxidant, etc. It can be formed on the transparent conductive substrate 621 'by coating, and the thickness can be 1-50 microns. The thin film 623 is formed with a dye layer 625 serving as a photosensitizer. This example uses cis-n acid to prepare bis (4,4 dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-position pyridine) ruthenium cis-dithiocyanato bis (4,4, Kiicaiboxy-2,2, -bipyridine) Mthenium (abbreviated as N3 dye) is formulated into a solution or gel with a certain concentration, and is adsorbed on the film 623 by immersion to form a dye layer 625. It is worth noting that the transparent conductive substrate 621, the thin film 623, and the dye layer 625 can also be made of other materials, which should not be limited in this embodiment. The first electrode 66 generally includes a conductive substrate 661 and a metal layer 663 formed thereon. The conductive substrate 661 is usually a conductive glass. The metal layer 663 should be composed of inert metals such as gold and platinum, and can be formed on the side surface of the conductive substrate 661 opposite to the first electrode 62 by means of a key film. The metal layer 663 8 1244215 preferably has a smooth surface for generating specular reflection to improve the utilization of light. Of course, the second electrode 66 can also be a metal electrode composed of an inert metal such as gold or platinum. The surface of the metal electrode and the first electrode 624 also preferably has a high flatness. The electrolyte 64 is located between the first electrode 62 and the second electrode 66, and may be a thin layer of redox electrolyte solution. A moth / decomposed lithium electrolyte is selected. The electrolytic solution 64 may be a solid state, that is, the dye-sensitized solar cell 6 may be a solid battery, and is not necessarily limited to this embodiment. In the present embodiment, the dye-sensitized solar cell 6 further includes a metal light guide layer 68 formed on the other surface of the first electrode 62 opposite to the thin film 623. The metal light guide layer 68 has an optical design for guiding light, and is mainly used to change the direction of light incident on the metal light guide layer 68 and then emit the light. For example, when the surface (not labeled, shown) of the metal light guide layer 68 adjacent to the first electrode is a smooth, flat surface, part of the light emitted by the light source passes through the transparent conductive substrate 621 of the first electrode 62 and reaches the surface. The metal light guide layer 68 ′ undergoes specular reflection on the smooth surface, thereby changing direction and re-entering the first electrode 62 and reaching the dye layer 625. In addition, a plurality of bumps or depressions may be provided on the surface of the metal light guide layer 68 adjacent to the first electrode, and the size, number, distribution position, and density of the bumps or depressions may be designed according to actual needs. When the light reaches the convex or concave surface of the metal light guide layer 68, diffuse reflection occurs there, thereby changing the direction and entering the first electrode 62 and reaching the dye layer 625. Of course, the metal light guide layer 68 may have other forms of light guide design. There may be other layers of transparent material between it and the first electrode 62, such as an optical element for increasing the amount of incident light or condensing the light. That is, for the purpose of redirecting incident light into the first electrode 62, the metal light guide layer 68 may work together with other related auxiliary components to form a light guide device. The metal light guide layer 68 may be made of a metal or an alloy. Please refer to the third figure, which is a battery pack 600 composed of two dye-sensitized solar cells 6 of the first embodiment of the present invention as battery cells 601,602. Among them, the second electrode 6016 of the battery cell 601 An electrical connection is formed with the first electrode 6022 of the battery cell 602. The metal light guide layer 6028 of the battery cell 602 is adjacent to the second electrode of the battery cell 601. When the dye-sensitized solar battery 600 is in operation, light can be redirected through the metal light guide layers 6018 and 6028 of the battery cells 601 and 602 and enter the first electrodes 6012 and 6022 thereof. Alternatively, in the two adjacent battery cells 601 and 602, the metal light guide layer 9 1244215 6028 of the battery cell 602 may also be directly formed on the second electrode 50m of the battery cell 601 near one side surface 6017 of the battery cell ⑽. . Refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 together, which are respectively a dye-sensitized solar cell 7 and a battery pack 700 composed of the dye-sensitized solar cell 7 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Compared with the dye-sensitized solar cell 6 of the first embodiment, the structure and material of the dye-sensitized solar cell 7 can be substantially the same. The main difference between the two is that a 'metal light guide layer 78 is formed on the second electrode 76. When the second electrode 76 is a metal electrode, the metal light guide layer 78 may also be directly one side surface of the second electrode 76. Referring to the fourth figure, when only a single dye-sensitized solar cell 7 is used, similar to a conventional solar cell, the transparent conductive substrate of the first electrode 72 is used as a light receiving surface and directly receives light from the light source. Please refer to the fifth figure, when the dye-sensitized battery 7 is a battery cell), its light receiving surface does not need to be directly illuminated by the light source. The battery cells can be stacked, and the light source can be illuminated by the side of the battery pack 700. After the light is turned through the metal light guide layer of a battery cell, it enters the first electrode of its adjacent battery cell. In addition, those skilled in the art should understand that in order to prevent the loss of light and improve the light utilization ratio, the related design can be correspondingly increased. A light diffusion layer is added between the transparent conductive substrate of the electrode and the thin film. The dye-sensitized solar cell of the present invention may further include a plurality of wires to connect it to an external circuit. The battery's specific shape, structure, material, and number of battery cells that make up the battery pack may have other variations, and should not be limited to the specific embodiments described. In the present invention, a light guide device is added to each battery cell of a dye-sensitized solar cell and a dye-sensitized solar battery pack, so that under the condition that a light source is illuminated from its side, light is directed through the light guide device and enters the battery. The battery and battery pack can perform normal photoelectric conversion. Therefore, the dye-sensitized solar cell can be stacked to form a dye-sensitized solar cell, which brings convenience for specific implementation and has a wider range of use.
