Abstract
The present invention relates to a dye-sensitized solar cell unit (″) comprising a working electrode comprising a light-absorbing layer (), a porous first conducting layer (') for extracting photo-generated electrons from the light-absorbing layer (), wherein the light-absorbing layer () is arranged on top of the first conducting layer (′), a porous insulating layer () made of an insulating material, wherein the porous first conducting layer (′) is arranged on top of the porous insulating layer (). The dye-sensitized solar cell unit (″) further comprises a counter electrode comprising a second conducting layer () including conducting material, and a porous third conducting layer () disposed between the porous insulating layer () and the second conducting layer (), and in electrical contact with the second conducting layer. The dye-sensitized solar cell unit (″) further comprises a liquid electrolyte for transferring charges between the counter electrode and the working electrode. The second conducting layer () is non-catalytic and the third conducting layer () comprises catalytic particles (″) for improving the transfer of electrons to the liquid electrolyte.
