Abstract

See full text

A method for forming a buffer layer in a dye-sensitized solar cell including a transparent electrode, a counter electrode, an electrolyte layer disposed between the electrodes, and a photocatalyst film disposed between the electrodes and near the transparent electrode, the buffer layer being disposed between the transparent electrode and photocatalyst film, the method including: forming the buffer layer by sintering a mixed solution of an alcohol solution and 0.03% to 5% by mass of metal alkoxide by laser beam irradiation after applying the mixed solution to the surface of the transparent electrode by spin coating, the transparent electrode being rotated by a rotating table.
