NOVELTY - A dye-sensitized solar cell (2) has a metal plate (21) made of titanium or titanium alloy, and having titanium oxide thin film (22); a photosensitive dye (23) absorbed on the titanium oxide thin film; a transparent substrate (24) with a euphotic zone through which light is irradiated to the photosensitive dye, and having a cathode; an insulating unit in between the anode and the cathode; and an electrolytic solution (25) that fills the space between the anode and the cathode. The titanium oxide thin film comprises arranged titanium oxide nanotubes. The metal plate is used as a flexible anode.    USE - A dye-sensitized solar cell.    ADVANTAGE - The TiO2 nanotube array as the semiconductor layer requires a simple manufacturing process and short manufacturing time, and provides a high uniformity of the produced semiconductor layer. This improves the structure of the semiconductor layer and increases the transmission rate of electrons. Two dye-sensitized solar cells can share one metal plate as the anode. Further, an electrode having a large area can be easily formed by using anode treatment and the metal plate used as an anode can be recycled to be used again efficiently.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A dye-sensitized solar cell comprises a metal plate made of titanium or titanium alloy, and having titanium oxide (TiO2) thin film formed on a surface of the metal plate; a photosensitive dye absorbed on the TiO2 thin film; a transparent substrate with a euphotic zone through which light is irradiated to the photosensitive dye, and a cathode on a surface of the transparent substrate; an insulating unit in between the anode and the cathode; and an electrolytic solution that fills the space between the anode and the cathode and surrounded by the insulating unit. The TiO2 thin film comprises arranged TiO2 nanotubes. The metal plate is used as a flexible anode. The dye-sensitized solar cell further comprises a reflection unit (26) to reflect light to the euphotic zone. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method of manufacturing the dye-sensitized solar cell.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic view of the dye-sensitized solar cell.
