DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL AND PARTITION FORMING METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dye-sensitized solar cell with a specific structure capable of having high corrosion-resistant characteristics of current collection wiring against an electrolyte and high sealing performance of a cell. SOLUTION: In the dye-sensitized solar cell wherein a first electrode and a second electrode are stuck each other by using a partition made of a photocurable resin material, each electrode is either of an optical electrode or a counter electrode, and is different each other. At least the first electrode is a translucent electrode, and includes first power supply wire coated by a translucent first coated layer made of glass or a ceramic material. The first coated layer includes a difference in level having a first difference lower section in the vicinity of the first coated layer and a first difference upper section in the middle of the first coated layer, the first difference upper section of the first coated layer is brought into contact with the second electrode. The partition is formed at least between the first difference lower section and the second electrode, and is formed to seal peripheral edge sections of both electrodes. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
