Development of large size dye-sensitized solar cell modules with high temperature durability

Abstract

The DSSC sub-module of 120 mm 2 which has high temperature durability was fabricated. The durability was tested under 85 °C for 1000 h; at the end of the test the conversion efficiency was retained over 95% of the initial one. The high temperature durability was realized using the improved sealant, protective material of collecting grids and the new ruthenium-complex dye J2 which was developed by SIIT. By the same way the larger size module was developed.
