Abstract

There is provided a dye-sensitized solar cell high in power generation efficiency. A dye-sensitized solar cellincludes: a transparent substrate; a conductive substrate; a porous semiconductor layercontaining a dye adsorbed thereto; and a conductive metal layerarranged in contact with a side of the porous semiconductor layeropposite to the transparent substrateand serving as an anode electrode. The conductive metal layeris formed of a metallic porous body having through-holes, and a multitude of holes of the metallic porous body are isotropically communicated with one another. The metallic porous body has a specific surface area of 0.1 m/g or larger, a porosity of 30 to 60 vol. %, and a pore diameter of 1 μm to 40 μm, and is formed of a metal material, such as Ti, W, Ni, Pt or Au.
