Abstract
The dye-sensitized solar cell comprises a first electrode including a porous semiconductor layer supporting a dye, a second electrode serving as the counter electrode of the first electrode, and an electrolytic solution filled between the first electrode and the second electrode. The second electrode includes a counter electrode conductive layer containing carbon microparticles and supporting a dye that is the same as that supported by the porous semiconductor layer.
