NOVELTY - A dye-sensitized solar cell (1) consists of a photoelectrode (40) using a stainless steel plate (4), and a counter electrode (30) using a translucent electroconductive material (3). The photoelectrode has a chemical composition equivalent to ferrite type stainless steel. A semiconductor layer (6) which supports a sensitizing dye (8) is provided on the roughened surface of the stainless steel plate. The counter electrode has a catalyst thin film layer (5). The semiconductor layer and catalyst thin film layer face through an electrolyte solution (9).    USE - Dye-sensitized solar cell.    ADVANTAGE - The dye-sensitized solar cell has excellent economical efficiency and photoelectric conversion efficiency.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A dye-sensitized solar cell consists of a photoelectrode using a stainless steel plate, and a counter electrode using a translucent electroconductive material. The photoelectrode has a chemical composition equivalent to ferrite type stainless steel containing (in %mass) chromium (16) and molybdenum (0.3), as per JIS G4305:2005. A semiconductor layer which supports a sensitizing dye is provided on the roughened surface of the stainless steel plate having roughened surface where pitting corrosion-like recessed portion is formed and arithmetic mean deviation is adjusted to 0.2 mu m or more. The counter electrode has a catalyst thin film layer provided on the surface of the electroconductive material, and has visible-light transmittance. The semiconductor layer and catalyst thin film layer face through an electrolyte solution. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for manufacture of dye-sensitized solar cell.
