- a dye-sensitized solar cell As a photoelectric conversion element, a dye-sensitized solar cell has attracted attention because it is inexpensive and has high photoelectric conversion efficiency, and various developments have been made on dye-sensitized solar cells.
- a dye-sensitized solar cell includes a working electrode, a counter electrode, a photosensitizing dye supported on the working electrode, a sealing portion that connects the working electrode and the counter electrode, and a working electrode, a counter electrode, and a sealing portion. And an electrolyte layer disposed in an enclosed space (hereinafter referred to as “cell space”).
- a sealing material made of a thermoplastic resin is formed only on either the working electrode or the counter electrode, and an electrolyte is injected inside the sealing material under reduced pressure.
- Dye sensitization with excellent power generation efficiency by forming an electrolyte layer and then bonding the working electrode and counter electrode while heating and pressing under reduced pressure to prevent air from being enclosed between the two.
- Patent Document 1 A method of manufacturing a solar cell has been proposed (Patent Document 1 below).
- the electrolyte contains not only a volatile component.
- the working electrode and the counter electrode are bonded together after injecting the electrolyte into the encapsulant, a part of the volatile component in the electrolyte becomes vapor as the encapsulant is heated. Or the wettability of the adhesive surface of a counter electrode and a sealing material falls. For this reason, it becomes impossible to obtain a strong adhesive force between the working electrode or the counter electrode and the sealing material, which may lead to electrolyte leakage in the obtained dye-sensitized solar cell.
- the electrolyte when the electrolyte is disposed, when the electrolyte adheres to the adhesion surface between the working electrode or counter electrode and the sealing material, the adhesion is inhibited by the deposit. Therefore, there is a possibility that the electrolyte may remarkably leak in the obtained dye-sensitized solar cell.

Since stress was concentrated on the interface between the working electrode and the sealing portion and the interface between the counter electrode and the sealing portion, the adhesive force between the counter electrode or the working electrode and the sealing portion weakens in a relatively short period of time. As a result, the electrolyte may leak in a relatively short period of time.

This is particularly effective when the liquid is used as an electrolyte. In this case, the change in the internal pressure of the cell space S becomes particularly large due to the change in the ambient temperature around the dye-sensitized solar cell 100, and the interface between the sealing portion 4 and the counter electrode 2, and the sealing portion 4 and the working electrode 1. This is because the electrolyte easily leaks from the interface.
- a gelling agent may be added to the volatile solvent.

It is an oxide film of a thermoplastic resin contained in 4A. Further, the surface of the second sealing portion 4B is also oxidized in advance before bonding the first sealing portion 4A and the second sealing portion 4B, and the surface layer portion of the second sealing portion 4A is the second sealing portion. It is an oxide film of a thermoplastic resin contained in 4B.

- the temperature at which the first sealing portion 4A and the second sealing portion 4B are melted may be equal to or higher than the melting point of the thermoplastic resin forming the first sealing portion 4A and the second sealing portion 4B. If the temperature is lower than the melting point of the thermoplastic resin, the thermoplastic resin forming the first sealing portion 4A and the second sealing portion 4B does not melt, so the first sealing portion 4A and the second sealing portion 4B are connected to each other. The sealing part 4 cannot be formed by bonding.
- the temperature at which the first sealing portion 4A and the second sealing portion 4B are melted is preferably (the melting point of the thermoplastic resin + 200 ° C.) or less.

- the thermoplastic resin is firmly bonded to the second annular portion C2 of the catalyst film 10, and the second sealing portion 4B is firmly fixed to the second annular portion C2 of the catalyst film 10.
- the sealing portion 4 is formed after the electrolyte layer 3 is formed. For this reason, as the first sealing portion 4A and the second sealing portion 4B are melted, a part of the electrolyte layer 3 evaporates, and between the first sealing portion 4A and the second sealing portion 4B. The wettability decreases. Further, the electrolyte adheres on the first sealing portion 4A and the second sealing portion 4B during the electrolyte layer forming step, and the wettability between the first sealing portion 4A and the second sealing portion 4B decreases. There is a case.

- the stress generated at that time is the interface between the first sealing part 4A and the working electrode 1, the interface between the second sealing part 4B and the counter electrode 2, and the first sealing part 4A and the second sealing part 4B. Dispersed in each of the interfaces. Further, the first sealing portion 4A is firmly fixed to the first annular portion C1 of the working electrode 1, and the second sealing portion 4B is firmly fixed to the second annular portion C2 of the counter electrode 2. Further, the first sealing portion 4A and the second sealing portion 4B are also firmly bonded.

Abstract
Description
最大変形率(%)=100×(最大変位量/シート状電極の厚さ)
に基づいて算出される値を言う。従って、例えば厚さ0.04mmのシート状電極が上記のようにして荷重をかけることにより撓み、最大変形量が0.01mmとなった場合、最大変形率は25%となり、このシート状電極は可撓性電極となる。
まず作用極(第1電極)1及び対極(第2電極)2を以下のようにして準備する。
作用極1は、以下のようにして得ることができる(図3)。
一方、対極2は、以下のようにして得ることができる(図4)。
次に、図5及び図6に示すように、作用極1のうち透明導電膜7の表面上の部位であって多孔質酸化物半導体層8を包囲する第1環状部位C1に第1封止部4Aを形成する。第1封止部4Aは、熱可塑性樹脂を加熱により溶融させて透明導電膜7に接着させることによって得ることができる。
一方、図7及び図8に示すように、対極2のうち触媒膜10の表面上の部位である第2環状部位C2に第2封止部4Bを形成する。第2封止部4Bは、熱可塑性樹脂を加熱により溶融させて触媒膜10に接着させることによって得ることができる。
次に、作用極1の多孔質酸化物半導体層8に光増感色素を担持させる。このためには、作用極1を、光増感色素を含有する溶液の中に浸漬させ、その色素を多孔質酸化物半導体層8に吸着させた後に上記溶液の溶媒成分で余分な色素を洗い流し、乾燥させることで、光増感色素を多孔質酸化物半導体層8に吸着させればよい。但し、光増感色素を含有する溶液を多孔質酸化物半導体層8に塗布した後、乾燥させることによって光増感色素を酸化物半導体多孔膜に吸着させても、光増感色素を多孔質酸化物半導体層8に担持させることが可能である。
次に、図9に示すように、作用極1上であって第1封止部4Aの内側に電解質を配置し、電解質層3を形成する。電解質層3は、電解質を、作用極1上であって第1封止部4Aの内側に注入したり、印刷したりすることによって得ることができる。
次に、図10に示すように、作用極1と対極2とを対向させて、第1封止部4Aと第2封止部4Bとを重ね合わせる。そして、第1封止部4A及び第2封止部4Bを加圧しながら溶融させることによって第1封止部4Aと第2封止部4Bとを接着させる。こうして、作用極1と対極2との間に封止部4を形成する(図1参照)。このとき、第1封止部4Aと第2封止部4Bとの間には、第1封止部4A及び第2封止部4Bとは異なる層が観測される。このような層が観測されるのは、第1封止部4Aと第2封止部4Bとが接触する部分の一部では第1封止部4A上の酸化皮膜の破れと第2封止部4Bの酸化皮膜の破れが生じ、その破れた部分に、第1封止部4Aに含まれる酸化されていない熱可塑性樹脂と、第2封止部4Bに含まれる酸化されていない熱可塑性樹脂とが入り込み、互いに混合する結果、第1封止部4Aに含まれる熱可塑性樹脂とその熱可塑性樹脂の酸化物と第2封止部4Bに含まれる熱可塑性樹脂とその熱可塑性樹脂の酸化物との混合物からなる混合層20が形成されたためであると考えられる。混合層20はさらに具体的には以下のように形成されるものと考えられる。
はじめに、10cm×10cm×4mmのFTO基板を準備した。続いて、FTO基板の上に、ドクターブレード法によって酸化チタンペースト(Solaronix社製、Ti nanoixide T/sp)を、その厚さが10μmとなるように塗布した後、熱風循環タイプのオーブンに入れて500℃で3時間焼成し、FTO基板上に多孔質酸化物半導体層を形成し、5cm×5cmの作用極を得た。
第1封止部および第2封止部を構成する熱可塑性樹脂を、アイオノマーであるハイミランから、エチレン-メタクリル酸共重合体であるニュクレル(三井・デュポンポリケミカル社製、融点:98℃)に変更したこと以外は実施例1と同様にして色素増感型太陽電池を作製した。

実施例1~27及び比較例8で得られた色素増感型太陽電池について、平和テクニカ製湿式カッター32F-300で、10mm×10mm×厚み約6mm程度の封止部を含む小片に切断した。このとき、封止部が、色素増感型太陽電池の厚さ方向に沿って切断されるようにし、封止部の切断面を露出させた。その後、この小片を、厚みが2mm以下となるように作用極側から研磨した。その後に、クロスセクションポリッシャ(日本電子社製)を用いて、露出した封止部の切断面を研磨し、その研磨面をSEMで観察した。その結果、実施例1~27の色素増感型太陽電池においてはいずれも、切断面のうち第1封止部と第2封止部との間に層が確認された。またこの層について、IR分析(赤外線分光分析)を行った結果、第1封止部と第2封止部の酸化に由来するピークが確認された。従って、第1封止部と第2封止部との間に観測される層は、第1封止部に含まれる熱可塑性樹脂とその熱可塑性樹脂の酸化物と第2封止部に含まれる熱可塑性樹脂とその熱可塑性樹脂の酸化物との混合物からなる混合層であると考えられる。
