<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photoelectric conversion element where photoelectric conversion efficiency is substantially improved by restraining losses caused by an internal resistance of a collector, and by enhancing the capture ratio of incident light at a semiconductor layer, carrying a dye, which is a photoelectric conversion layer. <P>SOLUTION: The photoelectric conversion element comprises an optically transparent substrate to which the semiconductor layer carrying a sensitizing dye is adhered, an electrode facing the semiconductor layer on the substrate, an electrolyte layer disposed between the semiconductor layer on the substrate and the electrode. The collector composed of a conductive porous membrane is provided on the side of the smeiconductor layer contacting with the electrolyte layer. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
