Abstract
Disclosed is an aggregate of metal oxide fine particles having fine pores whose size frequency distribution has a plurality of peaks. Disclosed also is a method preferably used for producing the aggregate of metal oxide fine particles. The method comprises a step of reacting a precursor of a metal oxide with a compound interacting with the precursor in a solvent to yield metal oxide fine particles. Also disclosed are a photosensitive semiconductor comprising a substrate, and a metal oxide porous body having fine pores whose size frequency distribution has a plurality of peaks and a method preferably used for manufacturing the photosensitive semiconductor electrode. This photosensitive semiconductor electrode has a high energy conversion efficiency and is preferably used in a photoelectric converter.
