<p>Photoelectric conversion devices, characterized by being made by using oxide semiconductor particles sensitized with a methine dye represented by the general formula (1); and solar batteries made by using the same: [wherein m is an integer of 1 to 4; n1 is an integer of 1 to 7; p1 is an integer of 1 to 4; X1 is an optionally substituted aromatic residue, an optionally substituted aliphatic hydrocarbon residue, cyano, phosphono, sulfo, carboxy, carbonamido, or the like; L1 is an optionally substituted aromatic residue or the like; A1 and A2 are each independently an optionally substituted aromatic residue, hydroxy, phosphono, cyano, hydrogen, halogeno, or the like; and the ring a1 has one or more substituents selected from among halogeno, amido, hydroxy, cyano, nitro, alkoxy, acyl, and so on]. The devices and the batteries are characterized by relatively low cost, high stability, and high photoelectric conversion efficiency.</p> |
