ABSTRACTTransparent conductive oxide less flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (TCO-less DSC) with flat and cylinder shapes are reported. The cell consists of a plastic cover, a flexible titania/dye sheet back contacted with a metal mesh sheet, a gel electrolyte sheet, and Pt layer on a Ti sheet. How to increase the efficiency were discussed. We concluded that making a titania/dye layer on a metal mesh sheet thinner and using a thinner electrolyte layer were effective for increasing the efficiency. A flat TCO-less DSC with 6.1 % efficiency and a cylindrical TCO-less DSC with 5.1 % efficiency are reported.
