<p>The present invention provides a dye-sensitized solar cell manufacturing method that allows manufacturing a dye-sensitized solar cell in which drops in photoelectric conversion efficiency over time can be sufficiently suppressed. The present invention is a dye-sensitized solar cell manufacturing method that comprises: a preparation step of preparing a first electrode having a porous oxide semiconductor layer, and a second electrode; a first sealing portion formation step of forming a first sealing portion by melting and bonding a thermoplastic resin at a first annular section, of the first electrode, that surrounds the porous oxide semiconductor layer; a second sealing portion formation step of forming a second sealing portion by melting and bonding a thermoplastic resin at a second annular section of the second electrode; a dye support step of causing a photosensitive dye to be supported on the porous oxide semiconductor layer; an electrolyte layer formation step of forming an electrolyte layer by arranging an electrolyte on the first electrode, within the first sealing portion, or on the second electrode, within the second sealing portion; and a sealing portion formation step of forming a sealing portion through bonding of the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion, wherein the electrolyte layer formation step is carried out after at least one of the first sealing portion formation step and the second sealing portion formation step; the sealing portion formation step is carried out after the dye support step and the electrolyte layer formation step; and in the sealing portion formation step, the sealing portion is formed through melting, while under application of pressure, of the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion.</p> |
