Abstract:
1. A dye-sensitized solar cell comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; and a charge transport layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate; wherein the first substrate comprises: a first base material; an electrode layer formed on a surface of the first base material; a semiconductor layer formed on a surface of the electrode layer while facing the second substrate; and a sensitizing dye supported on the semiconductor layer; and the second substrate comprises a second base material; and a counter electrode layer formed on a surface of the second base material while facing the first substrate; and at least one of said electrode layer and said counter electrode layer is a transparent conductive film prepared by laminating an ITO film and an FTO film, part or all of a crystal structure of a surface of said FTO film is orthorhombic, a thickness of said FTO film is within a range of from 5 to 20 nm, and a thickness of said ITO film is within a range of from 20 to 60 nm.
