DYE FOR PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION ELEMENT AND PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERSION ELEMENT

A photoelectric conversion device capable of improving conversion efficiency is provided. The photoelectric conversion device includes a work electrode 10, an opposed electrode 20, and an electrolyte-containing layer 30. In the work electrode 10, a metal oxide semiconductor layer 12 supporting a dye 13 is provided. The dye 13 contains a cyanine compound that has a methine chain, an indolenine skeleton bonded with both ends of the methine chain, and anchor groups introduced to a nitrogen atom included in the indolenine skeleton. Electron injection efficiency to the metal oxide semiconductor layer 12 is improved, and the dye 13 is hardly exfoliated from the metal oxide semiconductor layer 12.
