[0001] The present invention relates to a photosensitizer and a photoelectric conversion element using the photosensitizer. Background technique
[0002] Among organic solar cells attracting attention as next-generation solar cells in recent years, there are broadly divided into organic thin-film type and dye-sensitized type. Organic thin-film solar cells combine organic materials to make p-n junctions and utilize them. The working mechanism is exactly the same as that of inorganic solar cells represented by silicon. In contrast, dye-sensitized solar cells (Dye Sensitized Solar Cells, DSCs) are characterized by the use of modified electrodes that combine organic dyes as photosensitizers with inorganic semiconductors such as titanium oxide and zinc oxide. , In addition, the working mechanism of dye-sensitized solar cells is completely different from that of inorganic solar cells, rather close to photosynthesis. This solar cell, which should be called an inor...
