Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004095481A1] We describe the structure of a solid photoelectrochemical solar cell which consists of thin layers of nanocomposite organic-inorganic materials and can be used for converting solar energy into electricity. Main components of the cell, whose cross section is shown in Drawing # 1 is: (1) a commercially available transparent electroconductive glass plate; (2) a mesoporous nanocrystalline titanium dioxide layer in the form of a thin transparent film of controlled thickness, which is synthesized and deposited by chemical processes, as described above. On this layer a commercially available ruthenium organometallic complex is attached, which acts as a photosensitizer of TiO2; (3) a layer of a solid gel electrolyte made of a nanocomposite organic-inorganic material incorporating I2 and I-, synthesized by chemical procedures as above described; and (4) a positive electrode made of commercially available electroconductive glass plate, where a thin layer of platinum may be deposited, which completes the cell.
