Dye-sensitized solar cells and dye-sensitized solar cell modules
Abstract
A dye-sensitized solar cell 10 is a dye-sensitized solar cell which comprises a photo-electrode WE having a semiconductor electrode 2 and a transparent electrode 1 placed on a photoreceptive surface F2 of the semiconductor electrode 2; and a counter electrode CE and in which the semiconductor electrode is opposed through an electrolyte E to the counter electrode, wherein the photoreceptive surface of the semiconductor electrode is formed so that an angle θ of incidence of light incident to the photoreceptive surface of the semiconductor electrode from a direction of a normal to a photoreceptive surface F1 of the transparent electrode falls within a range of 30 to 80°.
