Abstract
A dye-sensitized solar cell includes a first electrode; a second electrode that faces the first electrode; an electrolyte that is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and an annular encapsulation unit that surrounds the electrolyte together with the first electrode and the second electrode, and connects the first electrode and the second electrode. In the dye-sensitized solar cell, the sealing portion has a resin sealing section formed of a resin. At least one interface of a first interface between the first electrode and the sealing portion, and a second interface between the second electrode and the sealing portion, constitutes a wide width section having the broadest sealing width among the sealing widths of the sealing portion, and the sealing portion has a narrow width section having a narrower sealing width than the wide width section.
