A photoelectric conversion device, characterized by comprising oxide semiconductor fine particles sensitized with a dye having an acrylic acid part.
A photoelectric conversion device, characterized by comprising oxide semiconductor fine particles sensitized with a dye represented by the following formula (1) having an acrylic acid part:
- 22
- wherein A1 and A2 each independently represent a carboxyl group, a cyano group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an acyl group, a nitro group, a cyclic hydrocarbon residue which may be substituted, a heterocyclic residue which may be substituted, an amino group which may be substituted, a hydroxyl group, a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or an alkyl group which may be substituted;
- X represents an aromatic hydrocarbon residue which may be substituted, a heterocyclic residue which may be substituted, an organic metal complex residue which may be substituted or an amino group which may be substituted;
- n represents an integer from 1 to 6;
- when n is 2 or more and a plurality of A1 and a plurality of A2 are present, each A1 and each A2 independently represent any one of said groups which may be same with or different from each other and further two among of A1s or each A1 in a plurality of A1, A2 or each A2 in a plurality of A2 and X may be bound together to form a ring which may be substituted,
