Abstract

An electrolyte solution for dye-sensitized solar cells being capable to have a high photoelectric conversion efficiency and to be almost colorless and transparent, are provided by using an electrolyte solution for dye-sensitized solar cells. The electrolyte solution comprising a halide salt formed of a cation comprising one or more groups containing at least one of quaternary nitrogen atom, tertiary sulfur atom or quaternary phosphorus atom, and an anion comprising a halide. The concentration of halogen molecules in the electrolyte solution is in the range of 0 to 0.0004 moles/liter.
