Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing an electrode of a dye-sensitized solar cell using an inkjet printing process, an electrode formed thereby, and a dye-sensitized solar cell having the electrode. According to the method, a metal electrode is formed by jetting an ink solution containing nano metal powder on a transparent substrate or a transparent substrate in which a barrier layer is deposited to improve coating performance of a transparent conductive layer. A transparent conductive layer is formed on the transparent substrate on which the metal electrode is formed. The transparent conductive layer protects the metal electrode from liquid electrolyte.
