PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dye-sensitized solar cell which can use a sensitizing dye using an inexpensive material, has high light energy conversion efficiency, and is excellent in safety and durability. And SOLUTION: There is a transparent substrate having a transparent conductive film, a semiconductor electrode carrying a sensitizing dye between the transparent substrate and a conductive substrate forming a counter electrode, and an electrolyte layer, and the transparent conductive film is formed by photoelectric conversion. A dye-sensitized solar cell that generates electric energy between a film and the conductive substrate, wherein the sensitizing dye is represented by at least one of formulas (1) and / or (2). Having a structure containing a copper bipyridyl monovalent complex. Embedded image Embedded image |
