(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To use semiconductor fine particles sensitized by a dye, To develop an inexpensive photoelectric conversion element with good conversion efficiency and a solar cell using the same. A photoelectric conversion element of an organic dye-sensitized semiconductor fine particle thin film carrying a dye represented by the general formula (1) which may be further substituted is obtained, and a solar cell is manufactured using the photoelectric conversion element. Embedded image (R and Z in the general formula (1) each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group which may have a substituent, an aromatic hydrocarbon residue or a substituent which may have a substituent, Y1 and Y2 each independently represent a substituent, and may form a ring. M1 and m2 each independently represent an integer of 0 to 3.) |
