Abstract

A tertiary amine compound is provided. The tertiary amine compound is represented by the following general formula (1): where each of Ar 1 and Ar 2 independently represents a benzene ring having an alkyl group or an alkoxy group, an unsubstituted benzene ring, a naphthalene ring having an alkyl group or an alkoxy group, or an unsubstituted naphthalene ring.

Claims (28)

1. A photoelectric conversion element comprising:

a first electrode;

a hole blocking layer;

an electron transport layer;

a hole transport layer; and

a second electrode,

wherein the hole transport layer comprises a tertiary amine compound represented by formula (1):

where each of Ar 1 and Ar 2 independently represents a benzene ring having an alkyl group or an alkoxy group, an unsubstituted benzene ring, a naphthalene ring having an alkyl group or an alkoxy group, or an unsubstituted naphthalene ring.

2. The photoelectric conversion element of claim 1 , wherein the hole transport layer contains a hole transport material represented by formula (2):

where R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or methyl group.

3. The photoelectric conversion element of claim 1 , wherein the electron transport layer contains titanium oxide.

4. The photoelectric conversion element of claim 1 , wherein the hole blocking layer contains titanium oxide.

5. The photoelectric conversion element of claim 1 further comprising:

a transparent conductive film substrate;

an organic-inorganic perovskite compound layer,

wherein

the first electrode overlays the transparent conductive film substrate,

the hole blocking layer overlays the first electrode,

the electron transport layer overlays the hole blocking layer,

the organic-inorganic perovskite compound layer overlays the electron transport layer,

the hole transport layer overlays the organic-inorganic perovskite compound layer, and

the second electrode overlays the hole transport layer.

6. The photoelectric conversion element of claim 5 , wherein the organic-inorganic perovskite compound layer contains an organic-inorganic perovskite compound represented by formula (a):

X α Y β M γ   Formula (a)

where X represents a halogen atom; Y represents at least one of an alkylammonium, formamidinium, and cesium, excluding the case where Y represents cesium only; M represents at least one of lead and tin; and the ratio α/β/γ is 3/1/1.

7. The photoelectric conversion element of claim 6 , wherein the alkylammonium includes methylammonium.

8. A solar cell comprising the photoelectric conversion element of claim 1 .

9. A solar cell comprising the photoelectric conversion element of claim 5 .
