  • SINGLE-SIDED DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELLS HAVING A VERTICAL PATTERNED STRUCTURE
    Publication number: 20110220192
    Abstract: A single-sided dye-sensitized solar cell having a vertical patterned structure is disclosed. A patterned nonconductive insulating layer is formed directly over first portions of a conductive substrate. An electrocatalyst material layer is formed directly over second portions of the conductive substrate, where the second portions of the conductive substrate do not overlap with the first portions of the conductive substrate. A second conductive layer is formed directly over the patterned nonconductive insulating layer and a porous layer is formed directly over the second conductive layer. An electrolyte is formed over the porous layer and the electrocatalyst material layer and a transparent sheet is formed over the electrolyte.
