Abstract: Provided are a dye-sensitized solar cell and a method of manufacturing the same. The dye-sensitized solar cell includes an opposing electrode and a photoelectrode. The opposing electrode includes a light-transmitting layer formed of a transparent glass substrate and an FTO (fluorine-doped tin oxide) thin film deposited on the transparent glass substrate, and a catalyst layer formed by depositing platinum on the FTO thin film. The photoelectrode includes a glass substrate and an FTO thin film deposited on the glass substrate. The photoelectrode is coated with a mixture of a fluorescent material and a transition metal oxide that includes titanium dioxide (TiO2) to thereby be adsorbed with a dye. An electrolyte is filled between the opposing electrode and the photoelectrode.
