PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dye-sensitized solar cell comprising a tubular container having flat sealing portions formed by pinch seal at opposite ends of the main body having an electrolyte sealed therein, a transparent conductive film formed on the inner surface of the main body of the tubular container, an optical electrode formed on the transparent conductive film and including a dye carrying oxide semiconductor layer, and a counter electrode disposed oppositely to the optical electrode inside the main body, in which electrical continuity is surely established without relying on the transparent conductive film in the sealing portions for electrical connection between the optical electrode and an external lead.SOLUTION: The transparent conductive film, and metal foils of the sealing portions are electrically connected via a collector terminal consisting of a conductive member which is provided inside the main body, so that the optical electrode and the external lead are electrically connected. |
