Abstract
A solar cell includes a porous light absorbing layer, a first porous conducting layer, a second conducting layer, a porous substrate between the conducting layers, the porous substrate includes a catalytic conducting portion in electrical contact with the second conducting layer and an insulating portion between the first porous conducting layer and the conducting portion, and a conducting medium for transporting charges between the conducting portion and the light absorbing layer. The conducting medium is located in the light absorbing layer, the first porous conducting layer, and partly the porous substrate so that the insulating portion and a first part of the conducting portion has the conducting medium and a second part of the conducting portion is free of conducting medium.
