NOVELTY - Sealant comprises: hot melt adhesive for absorbing heat and adhering to the substrates; and heat generation particles for absorbing energy and generating heat.    USE - The sealant is useful: for disposal between two substrates for sealing them together; and in dye-sensitized solar cell (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The sealant: reduces damage to dyes by reducing diffusion of heat; improves an active area in dyes; improves sealing characteristics of a dye sensitized solar cell; reduces external light incident on the dye-sensitized solar cell; and reduces undesirable breakdown of the dye molecules that occurs due to heating.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for:    (1) a dye-sensitized solar cell comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; a first electrode and a second electrode respectively disposed on the first substrate and the second substrate and facing each other; an electrolyte between the first substrate and the second substrate; and the sealant situated between the first substrate and the second substrate for sealing the electrolyte between the first substrate and the second substrate, where the first electrode includes a semiconductor oxide layer into which dye molecules are absorbed; and    (2) manufacturing the dye-sensitized solar cell, comprising: forming the first electrode on the first substrate; forming the second electrode on the second substrate so that the second electrode faces the first electrode on the first substrate; providing the sealant between the first substrate and the second substrate; combining the first substrate with the second substrate; and providing electrolyte between the first substrate and the second substrate.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - the figure illustrates a cross-sectional view of the sealant and the dye-sensitized solar cell including the sealant.
