PHOTOELECTRIC TRANSDUCTION MATERIAL, PHOTOELECTRIC TRANSDUCTION APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING PHOTOELECTRIC TRANSDUCTION MATERIAL

摘要

Hollow fullerenes have been used as an electron acceptor being a constituent of photoelectric transduction material. However, satisfactorily high photocurrent intensifying effect has not been realized. There is provided production of a photoelectric transduction material comprising employing an atom-confining endohedral fullerene as an electron acceptor and doping an electron donating organic material with the atom-confining endohedral fullerene. A striking increase of photocurrent as compared with that of conventional photoelectric transduction material has been achieved.
