NOVELTY - A dye-sensitized-type photoelectric conversion element has a semiconductor layer (6) and a solid positive hole transport layer (7) provided between a transparent conductive film (2) formed on a substrate (1), and a counter electrode (8). The solid positive hole transport layer contains n-type semiconductor carrying pigment, aromatic-amine derivative A that has hole transport ability, and hydrocarbon B, where the mass molar fraction of B is below the mass molar fraction of A.    USE - Dye-sensitized-type photoelectric conversion element for use in a solar cell e.g. inorganic solar cell such as single crystal silicon solar cell, polycrystalline silicon solar cell, amorphous silicon solar cell, cadmium telluride solar cell and copper indium selenide solar cell, and organic solar cell.    ADVANTAGE - The dye-sensitized-type photoelectric conversion element has high photoelectric conversion efficiency, hole transport ability and film forming property, and is inexpensive.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A dye-sensitized-type photoelectric conversion element has a semiconductor layer (6) and a solid positive hole transport layer (7) provided between a transparent conductive film (2) formed on a substrate (1), and a counter electrode (8).
