  • Bifacial light-harvesting dye-sensitized solar cell
    Patent number: 11309139
    Abstract: A bifacial light-harvesting dye-sensitized solar cell is provided and has: a first transparent substrate, a second transparent substrate, a working electrode, a first semiconductor layer, a second semiconductor layer, a third semiconductor layer, a counter electrode, a light-transmitting catalyst layer, and a liquid electrolyte. A photoelectric conversion efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell is improved by using a specific working electrode structure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 14, 2019
    Date of Patent: April 19, 2022
    Assignee: NATIONAL CHENG KUNG UNIVERSITY
    Inventors: Yuh-Lang Lee, I-Ping Liu, Yu-Syuan Cho
