A regenerative photoelectrochemical (RPEC) device comprising two substrates, wherein: one or both substrates are transparent and are coated with transparent electrical conductor (TEC) layer; one or more layers of porous wide band gap semiconductor is/are applied to selected area of said TEC layer and sensitised with dye; electrolyte is placed between said two substrates; hole(s) made in one or both said substrates to enable external electrical connection(s) to said RPEC device.

Method to implement sealing and electrical connections to single cell and multi-cell regenerative photoelectrochemical devices

The present invention relates to manufacturing of regenerative photovolatic photoelectrochemical (RPEC) devices. The invention describes a method for manufacturing RPEC devices in a production line. The method comprises the steps of: dispensing a protective film in a substantially continuous sheet; attaching at least one substrate to the protective film in such a way that predetermined areas of the substrate are protected from being coated during at least one subsequent manufacturing process; using the protective films as a means to transport the substrate, along the production line through the at least one subsequent manufacturing process.
