以下、本発明を詳述する。
しかしながら、有機無機ペロブスカイト化合物を用いた光電変換層を含む積層体を、従来の封止材で封止したところ、封止時に光電変換効率が低下してしまうことがわかった(初期劣化)。
そこで本発明者らは、有機無機ペロブスカイト化合物を用いた光電変換層を含む積層体を、封止材により封止したときの劣化の原因について詳しく検討した。その結果、封止時に、有機無機ペロブスカイト化合物中の有機成分が封止材に溶け込んでしまい、有機無機ペロブスカイト化合物が劣化してしまうことが原因であることを見出した。
本発明者らは、鋭意検討の結果、封止材としてポリイソブチレン、ポリイソプレン及びポリブタジエンからなる群より選択される少なくとも1種の骨格を有する樹脂を用いることにより、封止時に有機無機ペロブスカイト化合物中の有機成分が溶出してしまうのを抑制できることを見出した。更に、本発明者は、封止材にポリイソブチレン、ポリイソプレン及びポリブタジエンからなる群より選択される少なくとも1種の骨格を有する樹脂を用いることにより、太陽電池の高湿耐久性及び温度サイクル耐性をも向上できることを見出し、本発明を完成させるに至った。

また、上記電極及び上記対向電極は、それぞれ陰極になっても、陽極になってもよい。
上記光電変換層に上記有機無機ペロブスカイト化合物を用いることにより、太陽電池の光電変換効率を向上させることができる。

上記有機無機ペロブスカイト化合物の結晶化度の好ましい下限は30%である。結晶化度が30%以上であると、上記有機無機ペロブスカイト化合物中の電子の移動度が高くなり、太陽電池の光電変換効率が向上する。結晶化度のより好ましい下限は50%、更に好ましい下限は70%である。

上記光電変換層に上記有機無機ペロブスカイト化合物を用いた場合、封止時に上記有機無機ペロブスカイト化合物中の有機成分が上記封止材に溶け込んでしまい、上記有機無機ペロブスカイト化合物が劣化する(初期劣化)。これに対して、本発明の太陽電池においては、上記封止材にポリイソブチレン等の骨格を有する樹脂を用いることにより、上記光電変換層に上記有機無機ペロブスカイト化合物を用いていても、封止時に上記有機無機ペロブスカイト化合物中の有機成分の溶出を抑えて、光電変換層が劣化してしまうのを防止することができる。
