Dye-sensitized solar cells require significantly lower manufacturing costs than existing germanium solar cells, and may easily replace existing amorphous germanium solar cells. Unlike a germanium solar cell, the dye-sensitized solar cell is a photovoltaic solar cell comprising a dye molecule for absorbing visible rays to generate an electron-hole pair and a transition for transferring a generated electron. Metal oxide as the main material. 5 200840067 In general, a unit cell configuration of a dye-sensitized solar cell includes upper and lower transparent substrates and conductive transparent electrodes respectively formed on a surface of the transparent substrates. A transition metal oxide porous layer having a dye absorbed to a surface thereof is formed on a conductive transparent electrode corresponding to a first electrode. A catalyst film electrode is formed on a second conductive transparent electrode corresponding to a second electrode. An electrolyte is injected between the porous electrode and the catalyst film electrode as a transition metal oxide such as titanium dioxide CTi〇2). In order to stably maintain the electrolyte 10 injected between the first and second electrodes, the first and second electrodes having a thermoplastic polymer film therebetween are heated and pressurized to be coupled to each other. Therefore, a specific space is formed between the first and second electrodes to inject and fix the electrolyte. However, the thermoplastic polymer film does not have a fine configuration and is easily deteriorated by intense sunlight, thermal cycling, or the like. The electrolyte is slightly volatilized by the thermal cycle during the night/daytime and/or winter 15/summer to reduce the efficiency of the solar cell, and thus the end of life is ended. Moreover, due to the limit of mechanical strength, the polymer film is easily damaged by external impact and reduces the life of the solar cell, which is a key issue for the longevity. C^^明内3 20 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A. To this end, the object of the present invention is to provide an electrolyte which is easy to volatilize from the self-reading portion, is resistant to external impact or damage, and is densely bonded to a long life and is improved in durability. A long-lasting dye-sensitized solar cell operating in an external environment, and a method of manufacturing the same. 6 200840067 Additional aspects and/or advantages of the present invention will be partially provided by the description below and will be partially understood from the description or may be made by the practice of the present invention. a first electrode, a second electrode of an electrode, and a dye-sensitized solar cell between the first and second electrodes to achieve the following and/or other sadness of the present invention, wherein the transmission layer A solar cell having a porous layer comprising a dye in a side-to-side dye sensitization comprises an electrolyte injected into a space formed by a glass-filled rubber through a sintered body, wherein the glass frit passes through the sintered body The first and second electrodes are separated from each other at a predetermined interval and the first and second electrodes are tightly sealed.
