Photoelectric conversion device and photoelectrochemical cell

摘要

A dye-sensitized photoelectric conversion device includes a conductive support, a dye-adsorbed semiconductor nanoparticulate layer, a gel electrolyte layer, and a counter electrode wherein the gel of the gel electrolyte layer contains constituent units having a carbonate group, nitrogenous heterocyclic group or quaternary ammonium salt. In another aspect, a photoelectric conversion device includes a conductive support and a photosensitive layer which contains semiconductor nanoparticulates sensitized with a specific polymethine dye.
