Abstract
Disclosed is a dye-sensitized solar cell. The dye-sensitized solar cell includes a working electrode and a counter electrode configured to join the working electrode. The working electrode includes a photo electrode having a plurality of photo electrode cells coated on a transparent conductive substrate and arranged in linear rows and a collector having a plurality of collector cells coated on the transparent conductive substrate and arranged along perimeters of the photo electrode and between the photo electrode cells and a collector bottom portion integrally interconnecting the collector cells. The collector cells have a same length or the collector cells arranged along the perimeters have a different length from the collector cells arranged between the photo electrode cells to increase an active area of the photo electrode.
