    Abstract: A light-absorbing material includes a compound, wherein the compound has a perovskite crystal structure represented by the formula AMX3 where a Cs+ ion is located at an A-site, a Ge2+ ion is located at an M-site, and I− ions are located at X-sites, and at least a part of the compound has an orthorhombic perovskite crystal structure. An X-ray diffraction pattern of the compound measured using Cu Kα radiation may have a first peak at a diffraction angle (2θ) of 25.4° or more and 25.8° or less and a second peak at a diffraction angle (2θ) of 24.9° or more and 25.3° or less, and an intensity of the first peak may be 30% or more of an intensity of the second peak.

    Abstract: A solar cell includes a first substrate, a first hole transport layer, a first photoelectric conversion layer containing a perovskite compound, and a second photoelectric conversion layer containing a photoelectric conversion material in this order. A band gap of the perovskite compound is greater than a band gap of the photoelectric conversion material. With respect to an absorption wavelength of the first photoelectric conversion layer 3, a refractive index nA of the first hole transport layer 2 satisfies refractive index of the first substrate≤nA≤refractive index of the first photoelectric conversion layer. Further, with respect to a transmission wavelength of the first photoelectric conversion layer 3 and an absorption wavelength of the second photoelectric conversion layer 5, a refractive index nB of the first hole transport layer 2 satisfies refractive index of the first substrate≤nB≤refractive index of the first photoelectric conversion layer.
