PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photoelectric conversion element having excellent energy conversion efficiency and improved durability, and a photovoltaic cell using the same. SOLUTION: In a photoelectric conversion element and a photovoltaic cell having at least a transparent substrate, a conductive electrode provided on the transparent substrate, a photosensitive layer containing a semiconductor and a counter electrode, a fluorescent material for converting ultraviolet light into visible light or near-infrared light. Alternatively, a structure in which a phosphorescent material is present in the element is employed. |
