  • Patent number: 9208955
    Abstract: A dye-sensitized solar cell fabricating kit for fabricating a dye-sensitized solar cell includes a semiconductor electrode having a semiconductor layer carrying a dye, an opposite electrode disposed opposite the semiconductor electrode, an electrolytic solution made by dissolving electrolyte in a solvent and caused to fill between the semiconductor electrode and the opposite electrode during an initial assembly, the electrolytic solution being supplemented when decreased after assembly, so that an electrolyte concentration at the time of supplement is lower than an electrolyte concentration of the electrolytic solution supplied during the initial assembly, and a sealing member detachably attachable to an inlet through which the electrolytic solution is supplied between the semiconductor electrode and the opposite electrode to close the inlet.
