Metal oxide electrode for dye-sensitized solar cell, dye-sensitized solar cell, and manufacturing method of metal oxide electrode

摘要

Provided are a metal oxide electrode for dye-sensitized solar cell excellent in the mechanical strength of the metal oxide layer and capable of improving durability of the cell without excessively damaging the cell characteristics; a dye-sensitized solar cell excellent in cell characteristics and durability; and the like.;A metal oxide electrode for dye-sensitized solar cell has a substrate and a metal oxide layer provided on the substrate, the metal oxide layer containing a metal oxide and a phosphoric acid based surfactant. The phosphoric acid based surfactant is contained in an amount of preferably from 0.1 to 30 wt% relative to the metal oxide.
