The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a nano-array electrode with a controlled nano-structure by filling a compound having an electron-accepting structure or an electron donating structure into the fine pores of an anodic-oxide porous alumina film obtained by anodically oxidizing aluminum in electrolyte. The spaces defined between the nano-arrays formed of the compound by removing the alumina film are filled with a compound having an electron-donating structure if the nano-arrays have an electron-accepting structure and a compound having an electron-accepting structure if the nano-arrays have an electron-donating structure. A high-performance, high-efficiency photoelectric converting device comprising a nano-array electrode manufactured by the method is also disclosed.
