Dye-sensitized solar cell

A dye-sensitized solar cell, comprising:

• a first base member having a first substrate provided with a light-transmitting property, a light-transmitting conductive layer formed on a surface of the first substrate and a semiconductor electrode formed on a surface of the light-transmitting conductive layer and containing a sensitizing dye;
• a second base member having a second substrate and a catalyst layer formed on a surface of the second substrate in such a manner that the catalyst layer faces the semiconductor electrode;
• an electrolyte layer formed between the semiconductor electrode and the catalyst layer;
• and
• one of the followings:
• (A) a first collector electrode formed between the first substrate and the light-transmitting conductive layer, in the light-transmitting conductive layer or on the surface of the light-transmitting conductive layer and containing tungsten;
• (B) a second collector electrode formed between the second substrate and the catalyst layer and containing tungsten;
• and (C) first and second collector electrodes, the first collector electrode being formed between the first substrate and the light-transmitting conductive layer, in the light-transmitting conductive layer or on the surface of the light-transmitting conductive layer, the second collector electrode being formed between the second substrate and the catalyst layer, at least one of the first and second collector electrodes containing tungsten.
