Claim:
1. A thermoelectric conversion element comprising, on a substrate, a first electrode, a thermoelectric conversion layer, and a second electrode, wherein a nano conductive material and a low band gap material are contained in the thermoelectric conversion layer, and an optical band gap of the low band gap material is 0.1 eV or more and 1.1 eV or less, and the low band gap material is a non-polymeric metal complex compound represented by any one of Formulas (3C) to (3D): wherein, in Formulas (3C) to (3D), M is a metal atom selected from the group consisting of Ni, Fe, Cu and Sn, or a metal ion thereof; when M is a metal ion, the compound represented by Formulas (3C) to (3D) may have an arbitrary counter ion; nx represents an integer of 0 or more; and R c11 to R c14 each independently represent a substituent selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, an aromatic hydrocarbon ring group, an aromatic heterocyclic group, an oxazolyl group, a benzoxazolyl group, a thiazolyl group, an isoxazolyl group, an isothiazolyl group, a furazanyl group, a thienyl group, a quinolyl group, a benzofuryl group, a dibenzofuryl group, a benzothienyl group, a dibenzothienyl group, an indolyl group, a carbazolyl group, a carbolinyl group, a diazacarbazolyl group, a quinoxalinyl group, a pyridazinyl group, a triazinyl group, a quinazolinyl group, a phthalazinyl group, a borole group, and an azaborine group, a heterocyclic group, an alkoxy group, a cycloalkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an alkylthio group, a cycloalkylthio group, an arylthio group, an alkoxycarbonyl group, an aryloxycarbonyl group, a sulfamoyl group, an acyl group, an acyloxy group, an amide group, a carbamoyl group, an ureido group, a sulfinyl group, an alkylsulfonyl group, an arylsulfonyl group or a heteroarylsulfonyl group, an amino group, a cyano group, a nitro group, a hydroxyl group, a mercapto group, and a silyl group.
