<p>Provided is a photoelectric conversion element having high photoelectric conversion efficiency, which has high light absorption efficiency, high charge separation efficiency and high charge transport efficiency. Also provided is a method for efficiently manufacturing the photoelectric conversion element. A photoelectric conversion element which comprises: a positive electrode and a negative electrode that face each other; and an organic film that is arranged between the electrodes and contains a liquid crystalline conjugated block polymer. A method for manufacturing a photoelectric conversion element, by which a photoelectric conversion element comprising a positive electrode and a negative electrode that face each other and an organic film that is arranged between the electrodes and contains a liquid crystalline conjugated block polymer is obtained, and which comprises: a step wherein a composition for the formation of an organic film, said composition containing a liquid crystalline conjugated block polymer, is prepared; a step wherein a positive electrode or a negative electrode is formed and a coating film is formed on a main surface of the electrode by applying the composition for the formation of an organic film thereto; a step wherein an organic film is obtained by subjecting the coating film to a heat treatment within the temperature range at which the liquid crystalline conjugated block polymer is in a liquid crystal state; and a step wherein the other electrode, which has not been formed yet, is formed on top of the organic film.</p> |
