Abstract: A dye-sensitized solar cell module includes a plurality of dye-sensitized solar cells electrically connected in series. The dye-sensitized solar cell includes a first electrode that comprises a transparent substrate, and a transparent conductive film provided on the transparent substrate, a second electrode that faces the first electrode, an oxide semiconductor layer that is provided on the first electrode or the second electrode, and an annular sealing section that joins the first electrode and the second electrode. The transparent substrate is composed of a transparent substrate that is common to the plurality of dye-sensitized solar cells. The second electrodes of two adjoining dye-sensitized solar cells are separated apart from each other. The sealing section includes an annular first sealing section that is provided between the first electrode and the second electrode, and the first sealing sections that are adjoining are integrated together.

Abstract: Provided is a dye-sensitized solar cell for low illumination, which includes a first electrode having a transparent substrate and a transparent conductive film provided on the transparent substrate; a second electrode facing the first electrode; an oxide semiconductor layer provided on the first electrode; an electrolyte provided between the first and the second electrodes; a photosensitizing dye adsorbed to the oxide semiconductor layer; and a co-adsorbent adsorbed to the oxide semiconductor layer together with the dye, the dye being a compound represented by the following formula (1), and the co-adsorbent including a compound represented by the following formula (2): wherein in formula (1), M represents Ru; R1, R2, R3, and R4 each independently represent a monovalent cation; and R5 and R6 each independently represent a halogen group; and wherein in formula (2), n represents an integer from 0 to 5; and R7 represents a monovalent group having a ?-conjugated structure.
