Disclosed is a method for adsorbing a dye for a dye-sensitized solar cell. The method includes: coating a paste including metal oxide nanoparticles on the upper surface of a titanium oxide thin film and calcining the coated paste to form a porous film; adding an additive to a sensitizing dye solution to promote the adsorption of the dye; and dipping the porous film in the sensitizing dye solution to adsorb the sensitizing dye onto the surface of the porous film.
