Dye-adsorbed semiconductor electrode for dye-sensitized solar cell, dye-sensitized solar cell, and method for producing dye-adsorbed semiconductor electrode

摘要

Provided are a dye-adsorbed semiconductor electrode capable of efficiently using light in a wide wavelength region including a long wavelength such as an infrared region, a dye-sensitized solar cell using the same, and a method for producing a dye-adsorbed semiconductor electrode. A dye-adsorbing semiconductor electrode of a dye-sensitized solar cell includes a dye containing one or more selected from porphyrin, phthalocyanine, naphthalocyanine, and metal complexes of derivatives of these compounds, and a metal oxide porous film on which the dye is adsorbed Having a quality semiconductor. The metal atom of the metal complex is bonded to the metal atom of the metal oxide porous semiconductor through the oxygen atom and chemisorbed. The metal of the complex metal and the metal oxide may be the same element or different elements. [Selection figure] None
