In addition, the dye that loses electrons will replenish electrons from the liquid electrolyte, so that the dye restores the charge balance and returns to the ground state, and enters the conduction band of the TiO 2 nanoparticle. The conduction electrons are collected in the transparent conductive layer C and transmitted to the counter electrode through an external circuit, and the current generated by the current is called a photocurrent. However, the thickness of the porous semiconductor layer P of the conventional photoelectrode is only a few micrometers, and it has a certain degree of light transmittance. Therefore, when sunlight is irradiated to the photoelectrode, a part of the light is absorbed by the dye, and A part of the light penetrates the porous semiconductor layer P and cannot be used.
