Purpose
Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC)
→ Low cost
→ A variety of colors and forms
Problems
→ Low power
generation efficiency → Short-lived

Purpose
Previous work by Yonago Kosen :Using a shell membrane
→ Longer operating life DSSC
→ An experiment with only food pigment
Absorption of various pigments
and extension of life-span
MNCT Nakagawa Lab’s
Extraction of shell membranesExtraction work of egg membranes
which requires time
→Consideration of how to carry out extensive
extraction and to save egg membranes
The rate of pigment absorption
conditioned by methods of preservation
→ Investigation immediately after extraction,
room temperature (23 ), and freezing ℃
MNCT Nakagawa Lab’s
Extraction of shell membranesResults of the investigation
① Immediately after extraction and frozen storage
→ Dyed at the rate of almost 100%
② Room temperature preservation
→ Dyed at the rate of about 90%
Determination of frozen storage

Power generation characteristics
Fall in power generation caused by heat
Using ventilation to prevent rising temperature
The necessity for encapsulation
Hastening of the evaporation of electrolysis solution using ventilation
The problem of measurement

ConclusionInvestigation on the method
of the preservation of egg membrane
→ Increased efficiency
in egg membrane extraction
Production of two kinds of DSSCs, one with
shell membrane and the other without it
→ ① To check power generation characteristics
② Decision on a manufacture method
and a measuring method
