NOVELTY - A dye-sensitized solar cell (10) comprises a first electrode (11); light absorption layer (12) on one side of the first electrode; second electrode (14) facing the light absorption layer; and electrolyte (13) between the electrodes. The light absorption layer comprises a photosensitive dye adsorbed to a porous membrane containing semiconductor particulates and transition metal oxide network surrounding the particulates. The first electrode comprises transparent substrate; and conductive layer on substrate.    USE - As dye-sensitized solar cell (claimed) useful to apply on external glass walls of building or glass greenhouse.    ADVANTAGE - The dye-sensitized solar cell has improved photoelectric efficiency and lifespan due to an increased adsorption amount of a dye and inhibition of recombination of excited electrons and electrons in a ground state of a dye.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A dye-sensitized solar cell (10) comprises a first electrode (11); light absorption layer (12) on one side of the first electrode; second electrode (14) facing the light absorption layer; and electrolyte (13) between the electrodes. The light absorption layer comprises a photosensitive dye adsorbed to a porous membrane containing semiconductor particulates and -M-O-M- oxide network surrounding the semiconductor particulates (where M is a transition metal). The first electrode comprises transparent substrate; and conductive layer on substrate. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for fabricating the dye-sensitized solar cell involving preparing a porous membrane composition comprising semiconductor particulates and metal M-containing precursor; applying the porous membrane composition to first electrode, and radiating the applied porous membrane composition with ultra violet (UV) radiation to form a porous membrane; adsorbing photosensitized dye on the porous membrane to form a light absorption layer; forming a second electrode on the light absorption layer; and injecting an electrolyte between the first electrode and the second electrode.
