Abstract:
PURPOSE: A semiconductor electrode which includes an antimony oxide, a manufacturing method thereof, and a dye-sensitized solar cell including the same are provided to diffuse an antimony oxide precursor powder into water in order to arrange an antimony oxide paste, thereby providing environmental friendly manufacturing process using an organic solvent as a dispersing agent. CONSTITUTION: A hydrated antimony oxide is synthesized by mixing an antimony oxide or antimony chloride, a hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution, and a surface active agent. A paste is manufactured by mixing a binder into the hydrated antimony oxide. An antimony oxide particle layer is arranged by heat treating the paste after applying the paste on a conductive transparent substrate. The conductive transparent substrate is dipped in a dye.
