Zusammenfassung: | Provided are a dye-sensitized solar cell and a method of manufacturing the same. The dye-sensitized solar cell includes an opposing electrode and a photoelectrode. The opposing electrode includes a light-transmitting layer formed of a transparent glass substrate and an FTO (fluorine-doped tin oxide) thin film deposited on the transparent glass substrate, and a catalyst layer formed by depositing platinum on the FTO thin film. The photoelectrode includes a glass substrate and an FTO thin film deposited on the glass substrate. The photoelectrode is coated with a mixture of a fluorescent material and a transition metal oxide that includes titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) to thereby be adsorbed with a dye. An electrolyte is filled between the opposing electrode and the photoelectrode. According to the present invention, by introducing the fluorescent material to the photo electrode portion of the dye-sensitized solar cell, a high energy conversion efficiency is obtained due to illumination characteristics of the fluorescent material in the visible spectrum. |
