Photoelectric conversion element

Abstract

Provided is a photoelectric conversion element including an anode, a photoelectric conversion layer that contains a first organic semiconductor, a second organic semiconductor, and a third organic semiconductor, and a cathode. As each of the first organic semiconductor, the second organic semiconductor, and the third organic semiconductor, a low-molecular weight organic semiconductor is used. The first organic semiconductor, the second organic semiconductor, and the third organic semiconductor have mass ratios that satisfy the following relationship: the first organic semiconductor≥the second organic semiconductor≥the third organic semiconductor. Further, when a total amount of the first organic semiconductor, the second organic semiconductor, and the third organic semiconductor is 100 mass %, a content of the second organic semiconductor is 6 mass % or more, and a content of the third organic semiconductor is 3 mass % or more.
