Photoelectric conversion element and dye-sensitized solar cell

Abstract

Provided are a photoelectric conversion element and a dye sensitized solar cell having a supporting substrate, a conductive layer, a power generating layer having a porous semiconductor layer onto which a metal complex dye represented by Formula (1) is adsorbed, a porous insulating layer, and a counter electrode conductive layer, in which the layers are laminated in this order on the supporting substrate, and voids that each of the power generating layer, the porous insulating layer, and the counter electrode conductive layer has are filled with an electrolyte. R represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aryl group. G represents a group represented by any one of Formulae (G-1) to (G-4). A1 to A3 each represent a hydrogen atom, a carboxyl group, or a salt thereof. At least one of A1 to A3 is a carboxyl group or a salt thereof. X1 and X2 each represent —O—, —S—, and others. Ra represents an alkyl group and the like. Rb to Re each represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent. na represents 1 to 3. (G-1) to (G-4) are bonded to a pyridine ring in the portion of *.
