DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to solar cells, and more particularly to a chlorophyll solar battery. 5 [Previous technology] Renewable energy technology (Renewable energy), which replaces traditional energy sources, has become more and more mature due to environmental protection, rising energy prices, and the gradual depletion of traditional energy sources. The more extensive. 10 Renewable energy technologies include wind energy, solar energy, and biomass energy. Various renewable energy technologies use natural resources from the global environment as energy sources. In the case of solar energy, a common application method is to collect the heat of solar energy for heating purposes, or to use solar cells to convert light energy into electrical energy for power supply. φ 15 Most of the current solar cells are made of semiconductor devices made of single crystal germanium or polycrystalline germanium. The semiconductors absorb the light from the sun to generate electrons and holes, which form voltage drops and currents to supply electricity. However, the average energy conversion efficiency of a solar cell using a coffin is only about 15%, and the remaining 85% is converted into heat energy, so that the power generation efficiency of the above solar cell battery cannot always meet the normal electricity demand. Although there are many types of improved solar cells, such as dye-sensitized cells and tandem cells, the power generation efficiency of solar cells can be increased, but at most, the efficiency can be increased to about 20%, and the energy conversion efficiency cannot be greatly increased. 5 200950110 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a solar cell that can have a high light energy conversion efficiency. In order to achieve the foregoing objective, a solar cell provided by the present invention comprises: a first substrate, a second substrate, and an electrolyte; the first substrate has a -first electrode, the first electrode includes chlorophyll, the first The second substrate has a second electrode, the second electrode includes pheophytin; the first substrate and the second substrate are spaced apart from each other to form a space, and one of the first substrate or the second substrate In the transparent state, the electrolyte is disposed in the 10 space; by the above composition, the present invention can achieve the purpose of high light energy conversion efficiency. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings to explain the composition and effect of the invention of the present invention. Referring to the first embodiment, a chlorophyll solar cell according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a first substrate (10), a second substrate (20), and an electrolyte (3〇). The first substrate (10) is provided with a layered first electrode (12) on the bottom surface thereof, and the first electrode 20 (12) includes a predetermined amount of chlorophyll. As shown in the second figure, each chlorophyll porphyrin (40) It is a ring body in which four pyrroles (42) are linked to each other. The part of chlorophyll which mainly absorbs visible light is a conjugated double bond in the ring of the ring (42), so the present invention will all of the chlorophyll The side chain is simplified to a single argon atom 'to increase the number of the 200950110 film ring (40) contained in the first electrode (12) per unit volume. The substrate (10) has a layered second electrode (22), and the second electrode has a pre-dose pheophytin. As shown in the third figure, magnesium chlorophyll can be obtained by adding acid, heating or stripping of the original chlorophyll, while replacing the magnesium ion in the middle of the phenanthrene ring (5 〇) with two Λ. The present invention also simplifies all side chains of defoliated chlorophyll as described above by increasing the number of phenanthrene rings (50) contained in the unit cell by the second electrode (22). The first substrate (10) and the second substrate (10) may be transparent or only one of them may be transparent. '° , substrate (10) and the second substrate (2 〇) are parallel and spaced apart from each other to form a space (32), the space (32) is provided with an electrolyte (30), and the electrolyte (3 〇) can be Aqueous, non-aqueous or polymeric electrolytes. As described above, the first substrate (10) is transparent, and when the sunlight is irradiated to the first electrode (12) via the first substrate (1), the first electricity meter is in the 5 pole (12). The reaction center for simplifying chlorophyll transmits electrons due to the reception of light, and the electrons pass through the space (32) to the simplified pheophytin of the second electrode (22) such that the first electrode (12) and the second electrode (22) are interposed between the first electrode (12) and the second electrode (22). Forming an electron hole pair ' and forming a potential difference between the two, and then performing an oxidation-reduction reaction with the electrolyte (30) between the first electrode (12) and the second electrode (22), respectively, The first electrode (12) and the second electrode (22) are connected to each other to continuously conduct current. The simplified chlorophyll of the first electrode (12) is irradiated by the simulated spectrum as shown in the fourth figure, and the peak of the absorption spectrum of the chlorophyll is simplified at about 6 〇〇 nm. After the light is applied to the first electrode (12), please refer to The potential shown in Figure 5 is divided into 7 200950110 layout, which simplifies the loss of chlorophyll to an electron. The highest potential (positive) lies in the center of the magnesium ion, and the potential distribution diagram shown in Figure 6 simplifies the removal of pheophytin. After the electrons, the lowest potential (negative) is located in the surrounding side chain. Further estimating the photovoltage between chlorophyll and pheophytin 5 by the parallel plate capacitance model shows that the ideal voltage of the present invention is about 9.4V. Since chlorophyll can efficiently convert light energy into electrical energy, the conversion efficiency is high by 70%~80〇/〇β. When the present invention utilizes the energy conversion mechanism of the simplified chlorophyll and pheophytin formation, not only the light energy conversion efficiency is high. In the case of conventional coffin solar cells, the conversion process after absorbing light energy can also be achieved in a very short time of 10. Moreover, after simplification of chlorophyll and pheophytin, the area and ability of light energy absorption can be increased. θ By virtue of this side, it is possible to achieve higher light energy conversion efficiency.
