PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION ELEMENT AND DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL

摘要

In this photoelectric conversion element, a photoelectric conversion layer (3) having a porous semiconductor layer, a current collecting electrode (4) in contact with the photoelectric conversion layer (3), a charge transport layer (5), a counter electrode (6), and a counter electrode supporting body (7) that supports the counter electrode (6) are provided in this order on a light transmitting supporting body (1) that supports the current collecting electrode (4). Furthermore, the photoelectric conversion element is provided with an insulating layer (2). The insulating layer (2) is provided between the light transmitting supporting body (1) and the photoelectric conversion layer (3), has a refractive index value larger than that of the light transmitting supporting body (1) but smaller than that of the porous semiconductor layer, and has a sheet resistance value of 100 ohm/sq or more.
