A composition that can form a photoelectric conversion layer having an excellent adhesion to a substrate is provided without a sintering step. The composition comprises at least a semiconductor (e.g., a titanium oxide particle) and an ionic polymer (e.g., a fluorine-series resin having a sulfo group), and the ratio of the ionic polymer relative to 1 part by weight of the semiconductor is 0.1 to 30 parts by weight. The composition may further contain a dye (a sensitizing dye). The photoelectrically convertible layer can be formed by coating a conductive substrate with the composition without sintering the semiconductor.
