(57) [Problem] To provide a dye-sensitized photoelectric conversion element which is excellent in extraction voltage, has high conversion efficiency, and can be easily manufactured by simply adjusting the energy level of a semiconductor. In a photoelectric conversion element having a semiconductor fine particle layer and a charge transfer layer sensitized by a dye, the semiconductor fine particle layer contains at least one second metal element together with a main first metal element constituting the same. A photoelectric conversion element containing at least 0.01 mol% and less than 50 mol% of a main metal element, and a photovoltaic cell using the same. |
