Photoelectric conversion element, dye-sensitized solar cell, and dye-sensitized solar cell module

Abstract

There is provided a photoelectric conversion element in which a porous semiconductor layer is prevented from being detached from an upper supporting body, wherein a photoelectric conversion layer, a collecting electrode, an insulating layer, and a counter electrode are disposed between an upper supporting body and a lower supporting body in this order from the upper supporting body side, the upper supporting body being located at a light incidence side and having a light transmission property, the lower supporting body being located opposite to the upper supporting body, the photoelectric conversion layer having a porous semiconductor layer, a carrier transport material being included between the upper supporting body and the lower supporting body, and an adhesion portion having a film thickness of 0.5 to 10 nm is disposed at least adjacent to and between the upper supporting body and the porous semiconductor layer.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
