Abstract

A photoresponsive element utilizing a molecular heterojunction includes a first redox material film, a second redox material film having a different redox potential from that of the first redox material film and disposed in contact with the first redox material film, a first electrode connected to the first redox material film, and a second electrode connected to the second redox material film. The photoresponsive element is photoconductive and photovoltaic.
