Patent ID: 8809104

Claim:
A method of fabricating a dye-sensitized solar cell, the method comprising: forming an electrode structure including: preparing a template having template pores that are regularly arranged; forming a conductive layer on a surface of the template to have a plurality of pores; forming a semiconductor oxide layer on a surface of the conductive layer, wherein each of said plurality of pores is partially filled by the semiconductor oxide layer collectively to form a plurality of first spaces each of which is disposed within each of said plurality of pores; and forming a dye layer on a surface of the semiconductor oxide layer, wherein each of the first spaces is partially filled by the dye layer collectively to form a plurality of second spaces, and all of two adjacent ones of the plurality of second spaces are apart from each other such that the dye layer, the semiconductor oxide layer, the conductive layer, the semiconductor oxide layer, and the dye layer intervene therebetween in this order.
