<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor electrode having a high photoelectric conversion efficiency with the use of styryl series organic dye sensitizer of a specific structure. <P>SOLUTION: This is the semiconductor electrode adsorbing at least one kind of monomethine styryl dye selected among compounds represented at least by a formula (1). In the formula, a ring A shows a benzene ring or a heteroaromatic ring, which may have a substituted group, and the ring A may be condensed or may be bonded with other ring D, and Y shows a sulfur atom, oxygen atom, selenium atom, carbon atom having a substituted group, or nitrogen atom having a substituted group, and X<SB>1</SB>shows a carboxyl group. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
