Patent ID: 7812252

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a dye sensitizing solar cell, comprising: coating a first raw material composition on a surface of an opposed electrode, the first raw material composition including an acidic compound that contains at least one compound selected from a group consisting of sulfonic acid and carboxylic acid; assembling a cell unit which comprises the opposed electrode and an n-type semiconductor electrode that contains a dye, the surface of the opposed electrode facing the n-type semiconductor electrode; injecting a second raw material composition containing a basic compound and at least one part of an electrolyte that contains iodine into a gap between the n-type semiconductor electrode and the opposed electrode, the basic compound containing at least one compound selected from a group consisting of aliphatic amines, alicyclic amines, aromatic amines and N-containing heterocyclic compounds; and obtaining a gel electrode by allowing the first raw material composition to react with the second raw material composition.
