An solar cell of an embodiment includes a first electrode, an electron transport layer containing a metal oxide, a self-assembled monolayer, a photoelectric conversion layer including a p-type semiconductor and an n-type semiconductor, and a second electrode. The self-assembled monolayer includes a fullerene-containing compound having a fullerene portion including a fullerene or a fullerene derivative, an absorption group to the metal oxide, and a bond group bonding the fullerene portion and the absorption group. The bond group contains a bivalent aromatic hydrocarbon group and a bivalent organic group which includes a carbon atom chain having 1 to 18 single-bonded carbon(s) or an atom chain in which a part of the carbon atom chain is substituted by at least one element selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur, as a main chain. |
