A photoelectric conversion element capable of obtaining high photoelectric conversion efficiency by increasing a light release voltage of a dye-sensitized photoelectric conversion element and a method for manufacturing the same. A photoelectric conversion element according to the present invention has an anode electrode and a cathode electrode opposed to each other, an electrolyte is sealed in a cell formed by the anode electrode, the cathode electrode, and a side wall, and the anode electrode has a surface on the electrolyte side. A transparent substrate 11 on which a film having conductivity and light transmissivity is formed, and a photoelectrode layer 22, and the photoelectrode layer 22 is formed of a porous oxide semiconductor layer 31 having electron conductivity, A film-shaped coating layer 32 formed on the surface of the oxide semiconductor layer 31 and formed of the same substance as the material constituting the oxide semiconductor layer 31; and the oxide semiconductor layer 31 formed on the surface of the film-shaped coating layer 32. And a sensitizing dye adsorbed on the particle-like coating layer 33 made of a substance different from the substance constituting the above. [Selection] Fig. 2 |
