There are differences between photoelectrons and electrons.
Photon is the basic component of light. Light, light wave and photon explain the same thing from different perspectives. Photon is the basic particle that transmits electromagnetic interaction, is a kind of standard boson, the quantum of electromagnetic radiation, and the standard particle that transmits electromagnetic interaction. Photon is the carrier of electromagnetic radiation. In quantum field theory, photon is considered as the medium of electromagnetic interaction. Photon has no static mass, but has speed, energy, momentum, and mass.
Photoelectrons, also called photogenerated electrons, are actually electrons, which can be used as current carriers and can form current due to physical effects such as photoelectric effect.
