The present invention addresses the problem of providing a thermoelectric conversion element having excellent thermoelectric properties and an excellent conversion efficiency. A thermoelectric conversion element having: a thermoelectric conversion layer containing a dopant; and a pair of electrodes provided on the thermoelectric conversion layer. The average of the doping ratio in a first region, which is a region corresponding to half of the thermoelectric conversion layer on the side of one of the electrodes, is greater than the average of the doping ratio in a second region, which is a region corresponding to half of the thermoelectric conversion layer on the side of the other electrode. |
