LIGHT-ABSORBING MATERIAL AND PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION ELEMENT

摘要

The present invention provides a light-absorbing material capable of providing high photoelectric conversion efficiency when applied to a photoelectric conversion element. The light-absorbing material of the present invention has a structure represented by Formula (1) below:
€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒX-Y€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ(1)
(wherein X represents a light-absorbing site, and Y represents a radical site that becomes a radical when in an oxidized state and/or when in a reduced state, and is capable of repeated oxidation-reduction).
