Abstract:
Provided are a dye-sensitized solar cell and a method of manufacturing the same. The dye-sensitized solar cell includes a semiconductor electrode and a counter electrode that face each other, and an electrolytic solution interposed therebetween, wherein the semiconductor electrode includes: a conductive substrate; an oxide semiconductor-conductor structure formed on the conductive substrate; and dye molecules layer adsorbed onto the surface of the oxide semiconductor. A dye-sensitized solar cell manufactured using the method can effectively prevent electrons transferred to the conductor and an electrolyte from recombining, thus having maximal photoelectron conversion efficiency.
