The present invention relates to a photovoltaic device and a solar cell using semiconductor microparticles such as semiconductor microparticles which are sensitized by carrying a dye, wherein a methine-based dye having a specific substructure as a dye, for example, a carboxyl substituted on one side of a methine group A methine pigment having a specific heterocycle and having an aromatic or organometallic complex residue substituted with dialkylamino on the other, or a heteroaromatic ring having an aromatic ring substituted with carboxyl on one side of the methine group, and having a dialkylamino group on the other side, or The present invention relates to a photoelectric conversion device and a solar cell using the same, wherein a methine-based dye having an organometallic complex residue is used, and is equivalent to or higher than a photoelectric conversion device and a solar cell sensitized by a conventionally known methine-based dye. It relates to a photoelectric conversion element and a solar cell that achieves efficiency. |
