Photoelectric Conversion Element Using Thermosetting Sealing Agent For Photoelectric Conversion Element

摘要

Disclosed is a photoelectric conversion element which comprises: a first conductive supporting body that has a semiconductor-containing layer; a second conductive supporting body that has a counter electrode which is arranged at a position where the counter electrode faces the semiconductor-containing layer at a predetermined distance; a charge transfer layer that is held in a space between the first and second conductive supporting bodies; and a sealing agent that is provided in the peripheral portions of the first and second conductive supporting bodies so as to seal the charge transfer layer. The photoelectric conversion element is characterized in that the sealing agent is a thermosetting sealing agent for a photoelectric conversion element, said thermosetting sealing agent containing (a) an epoxy resin and (b) at least one heat curing agent that is selected from the group consisting of aromatic hydrazides and aliphatic hydrazides having 6 or more carbon atoms.
