Abstract: Disclosed is a dye-sensitized solar cell which can simultaneously realize an excellent photoelectric conversion efficiency and excellent durability. The dye-sensitized solar cell is also suitable when a resin film is used as a base material. The dye-sensitized solar cell comprises an electroconductive base material, and a metal oxide semiconductor layer formed of a semiconductor film with a dye adsorbed on the surface thereof, a charge transfer layer, and a counter electrode provided in that order on the electroconductive base material and is characterized in that a metal oxide intermediate layer formed of fine particles of a metal oxide is provided between the electroconductive base material and the metal oxide semiconductor layer and the electroconductive base material comprises a transparent base material, and a metallic current collecting layer formed of metallic fine wires and an electroconductive polymer-containing transparent electroconductive layer provided on the transparent base material.
