Abstract:
A dye-sensitizing solar cell comprising:a first substrate, and a first conductive layer formed on the first substrate; a second substrate, and a second conductive layer formed on a surface of the second substrate, the second substrate being transparent, the first and second substrates being spaced by a distance with the first and second conductive layers on the first and second substrates, respectively, facing each other; a semiconductor layer having a dye adsorbed thereon, the semiconductor layer being formed on one of the conductive layers; a glass frit for sealing peripheral edges of the first and second substrates; and a redox electrolyte which is filled between the first and second substrates, wherein the redox electrolyte is formed so as to be provided between and directly contact each of (a) the semiconductor layer, and (b) the conductive layer formed on the substrate that the semiconductor layer is not formed on.
