Abstract

$P_2O_5-ZnO-SiO_2-R_2O$ glasses were synthesized as a sealing material for large scale dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). Compositional effects of $P_2O_5$ and ZnO were examined by varying their contents. Their viscosity and glass stability at sintering temperatures of less than $550^{\circ}C$ were examined by flow button test. Glass transition temperature and structural change upon compositional change were investigated. Chemical stability against electrolyte was also examined by immersing the glasses in the electrolyte for 72 h at $85^{\circ}C$.
