Solar cell

Abstract

The present invention aims to provide a solar cell having high photoelectric conversion efficiency that is less likely to decrease even under prolonged application of a voltage. Provided is a solar cell including a cathode, a photoelectric conversion layer, a diffusion prevention layer, and an anode in the stated order, the cathode being a transparent electrode, the anode containing at least one selected from the group consisting of aluminum, copper, antimony, and molybdenum, the photoelectric conversion layer containing an organic-inorganic perovskite compound represented by the formula AMX wherein A represents an organic base compound and/or an alkali metal, M represents a lead or tin atom, and X represents a halogen atom, the diffusion prevention layer being a diffusion prevention layer that contains molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, niobium, zirconium, hafnium, or an alloy of two or more thereof and has a thickness of 5 to 30 nm, a diffusion prevention layer that contains an oxide containing titanium, gallium, zinc, tin, indium, antimony, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, chromium, nickel, or lead, a diffusion prevention layer that contains a nitride containing titanium, vanadium, chromium, niobium, tantalum, molybdenum, zirconium, or hafnium and has a thickness of 5 to 50 nm, or a diffusion prevention layer that contains graphite and has a thickness of 2 nm to 50 nm.
