Excellent Stability

It was investigated that the intrusion of water into the electrolyte was the most critical reason for the low stability of a dye-sensitized solar cell. To prevent the water intrusion, robust solar cells and submodules with a novel protection layer of metal circuit and tightly sealing package was developed. The excellent stability of the cell with ionic liquid electrolyte at high temperature conditions was also reveled. The resulting cell employing noble construction and ionic liquid electrolyte showed an extremely high stability to pass several endurance tests standardized in JIS for the stability of the photovoltaic submodule.
