摘要

It is an object of the present invention to restore the power generation performance of a dye-sensitized solar cell, once degraded, to the initial performance by regenerating the conductive polymer reduced by a redox couple in the electrolytic solution of the dye-sensitized solar cell A method for reactivating a counter electrode active material of a dye sensitized solar cell capable of preventing deterioration in power generation performance of a dye capable sensitized solar cell, a method for regenerating a dye sensitized solar cell to which the method is applied, It is an object to provide a catalyst layer of a solar cell, a counter electrode, an electrolytic solution and a dye sensitized solar cell. The present invention provides a method of reactivating the counter electrode active material of a dye sensitized solar cell having a counter electrode composed of a catalyst layer containing at least one kind of conductive polymer as a counter electrode active material, A method for reactivating a counter electrode active material of a dye-sensitized solar cell comprising reoxidizing a polymer by chemical oxidation or electrochemical oxidation.
