Abstract:
PURPOSE: A nano gel type electrolyte for a dye-sensitized solar cell which includes nano-silica combined with silyl-propionitrile, a manufacturing method thereof, and the dye-sensitized solar cell using the same are provided to improve photoelectric conversion efficiency and the long-term stability of the dye-sensitized solar cell which uses a liquid electrolyte. CONSTITUTION: A nano-silica powder(100) combined with silyl-propionitrile(200) is manufactured. An ionic liquid system electrolyte is manufactured by mixing an ionic liquid and oxidation-reduction derivative. The ionic liquid system electrolyte is mixed with the nano-silica powder combined with the silyl-propionitrile. The oxidation-reduction derivative is selected from a group comprised of lithium iodide, sodium iodide, potassium iodide, and lithium bromide.

PURPOSE: A dye sensitized and ligand metal charge transfer hybrid solar cell and a manufacturing method thereof are provided to improve current density and an open voltage by including a cathode electrode with a nano metal oxide layer. CONSTITUTION: A transparent conductive oxide layer is formed on a transparent substrate(1). An anode electrode(20) is made by forming a metal layer(30) on a transparent conductive oxide layer. An cathode electrode(10) is bonded with the anode electrode. Electrolyte is inserted into the fine hole of the anode electrode. The fine hole is sealed with polymer resin.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cell is provided to improve quantum efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cell by including pyridinium iodide-based ionic liquid. CONSTITUTION: An electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cell comprises an organic solvent, an oxidation-reduction derivative, a pyridinium iodide-based ionic liquid, and t-butylpyridine. The organic solvent is a mixture of one or two kinds selected from ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, tetrahydrofuran, 3-methoxypropionitrile and gamma-butyrolactone.
