Abstract:
1. An electrochemical cell comprising: a first conductive layer; a metal oxide layer formed on the first conductive layer, the metal oxide layer including a first metal oxide cell and a second metal oxide cell, each of the first metal oxide cell and the second metal oxide cell including a plurality of metal oxide particles; a first separation portion formed on the first conductive layer, the first separation portion being positioned between the first metal oxide cell and the second metal oxide cell, the first separation portion having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface being opposite to the bottom surface, the bottom surface being in contact with the first conductive layer; a functional dye layer formed on the metal oxide layer; a second conductive layer; and an electrolyte formed between the functional dye layer and the second conductive layer; at least one of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer being transparent, and the top surface of the first separation portion being in direct contact with the electrolyte.
