The invention relates to an organic dye, a preparation method thereof and a sensitized solar cell containing the organic dye, belonging to the technical field of dye-sensitized solar cells. The organic dye has the following structure, wherein R1, R2 are independently selected from any one of H, C1~C18 alkyl, and C1~C18 alkoxy; R3, R4 are independently selected from H, C1~C18 alkyl, C1 Any one of ~C18 alkylphenyl, C1~C18 alkoxyphenyl; R5, R6 are independently selected from H, F, C1~C18 alkyl, C1~C18 alkylphenyl, C1~C18 alkoxy Any one of phenyl groups; x, y are 0 or 1. The dye of the present invention has a twisted electron skeleton, and at the same time combines side modifying groups to make it have a better three-dimensional structure. The sensitized solar cell prepared by the dye has higher voltage and can be used as a co-sensitizer in combination with other high-efficiency dyes to prepare a device with excellent performance and good photothermal stability. The preparation method of the organic dye has rich sources of raw materials, low cost, good photothermal stability of the prepared device, and bright prospect of industrial production.
