The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells and particularly relates to an elastic linear dye-sensitized solar cell and a manufacturing method thereof. Due to the limits of electrode materials of traditional dye-sensitized solar cells, elastic cells cannot be manufactured. According to the elastic linear dye-sensitized solar cell, spiral titanium wires grown with titanium dioxide nanotube arrays serve as a working electrode, rubber fibers coated with aligned carbon nanotubes serve as a counter-electrode, the counter-electrode is arranged in the center of the working electrode to form a coaxial structure; the coaxial structure is packaged inside an elastic transparent plastic pipe for containing liquid electrolytes. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the elastic linear dye-sensitized solar cell can reach 7.13% and maintain the same under the condition that the stretch rate of the elastic linear dye-sensitized solar cell is 30%.
