Abstract
A photoelectric conversion device comprising an electrically conductive substrate, a photosensitive semiconductor layer, a charge transporting layer, and a counter electrode (preferably a counter electrode having a porous electron-conducting layer), wherein an electrically insulating spacing layer is provided between the semiconductor layer and the counter electrode, and a photo cell having the device. High conversion efficiency is obtained without causing an internal shortage.
