Thus, the titanium oxide layer was used as an N-type semiconductor layer.
- the CuI solution was dropped on the titanium oxide layer (N-type semiconductor layer) on which the Ru-based dye was adsorbed to form a P-type semiconductor layer. Further, an ITO electrode layer (30 mm ⁇ 35 mm) serving as a counter electrode layer was arranged on the P-type semiconductor layer.

準備したITO膜付きガラス基板(光透過性電極層となる部材付き透明性基板)を用いて、次のように、光透過性電極層およびN型半導体層となる積層体を作製した。
まず、0.040mol/Lの六フッ化チタン酸カリウム(K2TiF6)および0.10mol/Lの硫酸カリウム(K2SO4)を含有し、水酸化カリウムにてpHを4.0に調整した処理液(以下、単に「処理液」と略記する)を調製した。
次に、準備したITO膜付きガラス基板を、セミクリーンM4(横浜油脂工業社製)をイオン交換水で20倍希釈した洗浄液中に浸漬させて、10分間の超音波洗浄を行なった。その後、ITO膜付きガラス基板を、洗浄液から取り出し、イオン交換水に浸漬させて、10分間の超音波洗浄を行なった。
洗浄したITO膜付きガラス基板を、調製した処理液(液温:50℃)に浸漬させた。処理液中で、ITO膜付きガラス基板を、電流密度0.40A/dm2、通電時間20秒の条件で、カソード分極した。その後、25℃の水槽に2.0秒浸漬させて水洗した後、ブロアを用いて室温で乾燥した。これにより、ITO膜付きガラス基板のITO膜上に、N型半導体層となる酸化チタン層を、厚さ約50nmで形成した。こうして、酸化チタン層を形成したITO膜付きガラス基板(光透過性電極層およびN型半導体層となる積層体)を作製した。
作製した積層体を用いて、以下のようにして、色素増感太陽電池を作製した。
まず、Ru錯体(Aldrich社製)を、クロロホルムに2.8×10-4mol/Lの濃度で溶解させて、Ru錯体溶液を用意した。用意したRu錯体溶液に、酸化チタン層を形成したITO膜付きガラス基板を、30時間浸し、その後、乾燥した。こうして、酸化チタン層が含有する酸化チタンに、Ru錯体からなる色素(Ru系の色素)を吸着させた。こうして、酸化チタン層をN型半導体層とした。
次いで、Ru系の色素を吸着させた酸化チタン層(N型半導体層)の上に、CuI溶液を滴下し、P型半導体層を形成した。
更に、P型半導体層の上に、対極層となるITO電極層(30mm×35mm)を配置した。
このようにして、ガラス基板の一方の面上に、ITO膜(光透過性電極層)、色素を吸着させた酸化チタン層(N型半導体層)、P型半導体層およびITO電極層(対極層)がこの順に積層された、固体型の色素増感太陽電池を作製した。
作製した色素増感太陽電池に対して、大気中封止で次の評価を行なった。
太陽擬似光源装置(SAN-EI Electric社製、XES-502S)を用いて、AM1.5Gのスペクトル分布を有し、100mW/cm2の光強度を有する擬似太陽光を、色素増感太陽電池に対してITO膜側から照射した。この状態で、リニアスイープボルタンメトリー(LSV)測定装置(Hokuto Denko社製、HZ-5000)を用いて、色素増感太陽電池の光電流-電圧プロフィールを測定した。
このプロフィールから、短絡電流(絶対値、Jsc):8.27mA/cm2、開放電圧(Voc):0.545V、曲線因子(FF):0.57、および、エネルギー変換効率(PCE):2.56%が算出された。
