A photoelectric conversion element which is obtained by having a thin film of fine oxide semiconductor particles support a methine-based dye that is represented by formula (1), said thin film being provided on a substrate. (In formula (1), m represents an integer of 1-5; each of l and n represents an integer of 0-6; each of j and k represents an integer of 0-3; each of X and Y represents a hydrogen atom, an aromatic residue, an aliphatic hydrocarbon residue or the like; each of Z1, Z2 and Z3 represents an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or the like; each of A1, A2, A3, A5 and A6 represents a hydrogen atom, an aromatic residue, an aliphatic hydrocarbon residue or the like; A4 represents a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic hydrocarbon residue or the like; each of A7, A8, A9 and A10 represents a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic hydrocarbon residue or the like; R1 represents a group having a specific structure, an organic metal complex residue or the like; and R2 represents a hydrogen atom, an aliphatic hydrocarbon residue, an organic metal complex residue or the like.) |
