Article: Ionic liquid (1-methyl 3-propyl imidazolium iodide) with polymer electrolyte for DSSC application.(Report)

INTRODUCTION

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), as an alternate source in place of photo electrochemical solar cells, came in consideration after the novel work of Gratzel and co-workers (1), (2). The overall cell performance depends upon many factors, like nature of electrodes, dye, sensitizer, electrolytes, and so forth. Out of these, the electrolytes play an important role because the electrolytes with redox couple ([I.sup.-]/[I.sub.3.sup.-]) can influence the rereduction of the oxidized state of the dye as well as several other process in the DSSC (30. DSSC based on different electrolytes are available in literature (4), (5). Optimum device efficiencies to ...
