Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the embodiments described below exemplarily illustrate one preferred embodiment of the present invention, and examples of such embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced in various ways without departing from the spirit.

First, the basic concept of the present invention will be described.

1 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of a general dye-sensitized solar cell.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the dye-sensitized solar cell, a lower structure and an upper structure are formed with an electrolyte layer 14 interposed therebetween.

The lower structure includes a lower substrate 11 and a lower electrode layer 12 formed on the lower substrate 11. The catalytic electrode layer 13 is selectively formed on the lower electrode layer 12. The catalyst electrode layer 13 is not necessarily required. However, the catalyst electrode layer 13 is preferably used to promote the reduction reaction of iodine constituting the electrolyte.

As the catalyst electrode layer 13, a platinum (Pt) layer is usually used. The platinum layer is formed through a high temperature semiconductor process. Therefore, when the catalyst electrode layer 13 is used, tempered glass or the like is used as the lower substrate 11. Tempered glass is expensive. In addition, since tempered glass is heavy, it is difficult to form a large area in consideration of the stability of the solar cell.

In addition, the platinum used as the catalyst electrode layer 13 has a very high material price. This is a major factor in raising the price of solar cells.

The upper structure includes, for example, an upper substrate 17 made of glass or the like, and an upper electrode layer 16 and a porous layer 15 formed on the upper substrate 17. The upper electrode layer 16 is made of a transparent electrode such as SnO ₂ , ITO, TCO, FTO, ZnO, CNT, and the like, and the porous layer 15 is made of, for example, a TiO ₂ layer. The ruthenium dye, for example, is adsorbed on the porous layer 15.

In the present invention, zeolite or zeolite powder is used as the catalyst metal layer 13. Zeolite is a three-dimensional inorganic polymer in which silicon (Si) and aluminum (Al) are connected through four cross-linked oxygen, respectively, and have negative charge characteristics as aluminum bonds with four oxygens.

Solar cells usually use iodine as an electrolyte. Iodine is oxidized to a cation, ie triiodide, by providing electrons to the dye. Thus trioxidized triiodide is easily bound to zeolites having negative charge characteristics.

Since zeolite is a porous material, when the catalyst metal layer 13 is formed using the zeolite layer, a large amount of electrolyte is absorbed in the catalyst metal layer 13. That is, the contact area of zeolite or zeolite powder with electrolyte becomes very large. This in turn provides the effect of greatly increasing the contact area between the lower electrode layer 12 and the electrolyte.

Therefore, when the catalyst metal layer 13 including zeolite is formed on the lower electrode layer 12, the triiodide having a positive charge is very quickly and smoothly coupled to the catalyst metal layer 13 having a negative charge. Since a large amount of electrons are supplied from the lower electrode layer 12 to the cargo, the reduction reaction of the triiodide is made very quickly. As a result, this facilitates the flow of electrons from the lower electrode layer 12 to the upper electrode layer 16, thereby greatly improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell.

2 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of a dye-sensitized solar cell according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In addition, in FIG. 2, the same reference numerals are attached to substantially the same parts as FIG. 1, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In FIG. 2, the catalytic metal layer 20 is provided on the lower electrode layer 12. The catalytic metal layer 20 is made of a material containing zeolite powder. In addition, in the preferred embodiment, the catalytic metal layer 20 includes metal nanoparticles or carbon nanoparticles such as copper or silver.

The catalyst metal layer 20 may be easily formed by applying a zeolite solution on the lower electrode layer 12 and then evaporating the solvent.

In addition, in the modified example of the present embodiment, a conductive paste or a conductive organic material may be preferably used to form the catalyst electrode layer 20. In this modified example, the zeolite powder is mixed with the conductive paste or the conductive organic solution and then coated on the lower electrode layer 12 to form the catalyst electrode layer 20.

In this embodiment, the lower structure is formed by forming the catalyst electrode layer 20 on the lower electrode layer 12, and the upper structure is formed by a conventional method. The solar cell is completed by combining the lower structure and the upper structure and injecting an electrolyte into the gap therebetween to form the electrolyte layer 14.

When the electrolyte is injected into the electrolyte layer 14, a part of the injected electrolyte is absorbed by the catalyst electrode layer 20. This provides the effect of greatly increasing the contact area between the lower electrode layer 12 and the electrolyte as described above.

When sunlight is incident on the upper side of the solar cell, the sunlight is absorbed by the dye to excite the dye. The excited dye molecules emit electrons, and thus the left electrons are discharged through the porous layer 15 to form the upper electrode layer ( 16).

On the other hand, dye molecules that emit electrons receive electrons from the electrolyte. The electrolyte consists of iodine, for example. Iodine, which provides electrons as dye molecules, is oxidized to triiodide. As a result, triiodide has a positive charge.

As described above, the catalyst electrode layer 20 composed of zeolite has a negative charge. Accordingly, the triiodide is strongly guided to the catalyst electrode layer 20 and bonded to the catalyst electrode layer 20, and the triiodide is provided with electrons from the lower electrode layer 12.

The triiodide provided with the electrons is reduced to iodine again, and the reduced iodine is diffused and moved upwards to supply electrons to the dye adsorbed on the porous layer 15.

Therefore, in the above-described embodiment, the movement of electrons from the lower electrode layer 12 to the upper electrode layer 16 becomes active, so that the efficiency of the solar cell becomes very high.

In addition, since the catalyst electrode layer 20 may be formed at a low temperature, the restriction on the lower substrate 11 is removed.

In FIG. 3, paper is employed as the lower substrate 31. At this time, as the paper, any paper made from pulp as a main raw material and a material in which heat-resistant materials such as ceramics and silicon have penetrated the paper can be used.

In addition, an organic material may be employed as the lower substrate 31. The organic substance which can be used at this time is, for example, polyimide (PI), polycarbonate (PC), polyether sulfone (PES), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), poly Vinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), ethylene copolymer, polypropylene (PP), propylene copolymer, poly (4-methyl-1-pentene) (TPX), polyarylate (PAR), polyacetal (POM ), Polyphenylene oxide (PPO), polysulfone (PSF), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), polyvinyl acetate (PVAC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVAL), polyvinyl acetal, Polystyrene (PS), AS resin, ABS resin, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), fluorocarbon resin, phenolic resin (PF), melamine resin (MF), urea resin (UF), unsaturated polyester (UP), epoxy resin (EP), diallyl phthalate resin (DAP), polyurethane (PUR), polyamide (PA), silicone resin (SI) or mixtures and combinations thereof Water can be used.

The lower electrode layer 32 is formed on the lower substrate 31. The lower electrode layer 32 may be a conductive inorganic material such as gold, silver, aluminum, platinum, or the like, or a polyaniline, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) / polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS) based on a metal oxide or a conductive polymer. Conductive organic materials such as), or a mixture of conductive organic materials and conductive inorganic materials can be used.

When using paper or an organic material as the lower substrate 31, a conductive organic material or a mixture of a conductive inorganic material (metal) and a conductive organic material may be preferably used as the lower electrode layer 32. Such an electrode layer is formed using, for example, an inkjet method, a screen printing method, or the like.

In addition, the mixed solution of the conductive metal and the conductive organic material may be produced by, for example, mixing a powder of the conductive metal or the conductive metal oxide with the conductive organic solution.

In the case of forming the lower electrode layer 32 made of a metal material on the lower substrate 31 made of paper, for example, a vacuum deposition method is used. At this time, if necessary, before the lower electrode layer 32 is formed, the lower substrate 31 is heat-treated in a vacuum state or in an inert gas atmosphere such as argon (Ar), neon (Ne), or the like. It is also desirable to remove the air.

In addition, a catalyst metal layer 20 is formed on the lower electrode layer 32 as in the embodiment of FIG. 2.

The upper substrate 37 can adopt the same configuration as the embodiment of FIG. 2. In addition, as the upper substrate 37, a silicon or organic substrate may be preferably used. At this time, the upper electrode layer 36 is composed of a mixture of conductive organic materials, conductive organic materials, and conductive inorganic materials containing metals or metal oxides. Also in this case, the upper electrode layer 36 is formed by an inkjet method, a screen printing method, or the like.

The porous layer 35 is formed on the upper electrode layer 36 in a conventional manner. At this time, as the porous layer 35, it is also possible to form a zeolite layer.

When the porous layer 35 is formed by using the zeolite, since the zeolite layer is basically a porous material, the dye is easily adsorbed and the adsorption amount thereof is very large. Since the electron supply to the dye is facilitated.

In addition, since the electrolyte is easily adsorbed to the zeolite, the contact area between the dye and the electrolyte is widened, thereby facilitating the supply of electrons to the dye.

In addition, since the zeolite layer can be easily formed even at low temperatures, the constraint on the substrate of the solar cell is removed.

In the present embodiment, the lower substrate 31 or the upper substrate 37 is made of a flexible material. In addition, since the lower electrode layer 32 and the upper electrode layer 36 can be formed on the lower substrate 31 and the upper substrate 37 by using, for example, inkjet or screen printing, the manufacturing of the solar cell becomes easier and the manufacturing cost is increased. In addition, the solar cell can be manufactured in a large area.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, since the solar cell is manufactured based on paper or organic material, it is possible to implement a flexible solar cell.

At this time, the zeolite adsorption layer 40 is composed of a material that easily absorbs and passes through the electrolyte. As the zeolite adsorption layer 40, for example, a cloth such as paper or a nonwoven fabric is used. Zeolite powder is adsorbed to the zeolite adsorption layer 40. In addition, preferably, the zeolite adsorption layer 40 additionally adsorbs metal nanoparticles or carbon nanoparticles.

In the case of manufacturing the solar cell according to the present embodiment, first, the lower structure and the upper structure are formed by the method of FIGS. 2 and 3. The zeolite adsorption layer 40 is formed on the lower structure, that is, on the upper side of the lower electrode layer 42. In this case, the zeolite adsorption layer 40 may be easily formed by attaching the zeolite adsorption layer 40 such as paper or nonwoven fabric to the upper side of the lower electrode layer 42 using, for example, a conductive adhesive.

Subsequently, the zeolite is adsorbed to the zeolite adsorption layer 40 by injecting and absorbing the zeolite solution into the lower structure on which the zeolite adsorption layer 40 is formed or attached, and then evaporating the solvent.

Finally, the solar cell is completed by combining the lower structure and the upper structure and injecting and sealing the electrolyte in the gap therebetween to form the electrolyte layer.

In addition, metal nanoparticles or carbon nanoparticles are additionally adsorbed to the lower substrate 31. Since the other parts are substantially the same as the embodiment of Fig. 3, the same reference numerals are attached to the same parts, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the present embodiment, the lower substrate 31 made of paper is formed in the portion adjacent to the electrolyte layer 14. Therefore, when the electrolyte is injected into the electrolyte layer 14, the electrolyte is adsorbed onto the lower substrate 31.

When the electrolyte is adsorbed to the paper constituting the lower substrate 31, the paper and the lower electrode layer 32 are electrically coupled, so that the paper, that is, the lower substrate 31 is set to the same potential state as the lower electrode 32. In addition, since the paper is composed of fibers, a large amount of electrolyte is brought into electrical contact with the paper.

The zeolite is adsorbed to the lower substrate 31 made of paper. Accordingly, a large amount of triiodide is reduced through the lower substrate 31, and a large amount of electrons are supplied to the dye by the reduced iodine, thereby greatly improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell.
