Photoelectric conversion element

A photoelectric conversion element comprising:

• a first electrode;
• a first interfacial layer;
• a photoelectric conversion layer;
• and
• a second electrode disposed in this order,
• wherein the photoelectric conversion layer includes quantum dots and a first organic compound,
• the first organic compound satisfies Formula (1), and
• an electron affinity of a material used for the first interfacial layer, an electron affinity of the quantum dots, and an electron affinity of the first organic compound satisfy Formulas (2) and (3):
• E2>E1 Formula (1)
• where E1 (eV) is an energy at a short-wavelength end of an optical wavelength region detected by the photoelectric conversion element,
• where E2 (eV) is a band gap of the first organic compound,
• E3<E4−0.2 Formula (2)
• E4−0.4<E5<E4 Formula (3)
• where E3 (eV) is the electron affinity of the material used for the first interfacial layer,
• where E4 (eV) is the electron affinity of the quantum dots, and
• where E5 (eV) is the electron affinity of the first organic compound.
