PHOTOELECTRODE FOR DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING PHOTOELECTRODE FOR DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL, AND DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL

摘要

A photoelectrode for a dye-sensitized solar cell includes, a sensitizer supported in a functional semiconductor layer of a photoelectrode structure provided with the functional semiconductor layer on a transparent conductive layer of a translucent substrate made by forming the transparent conductive layer on a plastic translucent support, in which the functional semiconductor layer includes a roll-pressed layer which is being in contact with the transparent conductive layer and roll-pressing traces extending in parallel with a roll-pressing treatment direction on a surface of the roll-pressed layer, and a surface roughness Ra in a first direction which is in parallel with the roll-pressing treatment direction is smaller than a surface roughness Ra in a second direction which is orthogonal to the first direction on a surface of the functional semiconductor layer.
