Abstract
A photoelectric conversion element includes a hole transport layer exhibiting excellent photoelectric conversion characteristics and having high durability. The photoelectric conversion element includes: a first electrode, a hole transport layer, a photoelectric conversion layer, an electron transport layer, and a second electrode. The first electrode, the hole transport layer, the photoelectric conversion layer, the electron transport layer, and the second electrode are laminated in this order. The photoelectric conversion layer has a perovskite structure, and the hole transport layer has an ionization potential in a range from −5.4 eV to −5.7 eV.
