Outline of Final Research Achievements

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) was developed utilizing micro digital fabrication technology (micro 3D printer). The merits of the 3D printer were high resolution and pore generation in the printed film. When the pore size and density in the titania film was controlled, then the efficiency was increased. The efficiency of the DSC utilizing the micro 3D printer was higher than that of the DSC utilizing doctor blade method.
