Provided is a photoelectric element that includes an electron transport layer having excellent electron transport properties and a sufficiently large reaction interface and has low resistance loss and excellent conversion efficiency between light and electricity. The photoelectric element includes a first electrode 3, a second electrode 4, an electron transport layer 1 and a hole transport layer 5 interposed between the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4, an electrolyte solution, and a sensitizing dye. The electron transport layer 1 includes an organic compound having an oxidation-reduction site capable of repeated oxidation-reduction. The electrolyte solution serves to stabilize a reduction state of the oxidation-reduction site. The organic compound and the electrolyte solution form a gel layer 2. The sensitizing dye is provided in contact with the electron transport layer 1. The hole transport layer 5 contains a charge transporter serving to reduce an oxidized form of the sensitizing dye and having a number average molecular weight of 2,000 or more and 100,000 or less. |
