(57) [Problem] To provide a photoelectric conversion element capable of increasing the carrying amount of a sensitizing dye by disposing a semiconductor layer having a large surface area, and as a result, obtaining a large photocurrent output. SOLUTION: At least one electrode having a semiconductor layer deposited on one surface, a counter electrode facing the semiconductor layer of the electrode, and a counter electrode disposed between the semiconductor layer and the counter electrode of the electrode. In a photoelectric conversion element having an electrolyte layer, semiconductor particles forming the semiconductor layer have pores, and the semiconductor particles carry a sensitizing dye on the outer surface and in the pores. |
