A quasi-liquid polymer-based cobalt redox mediator electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells.
Recently, cobalt redox electrolyte mediators have emerged as a promising alternative to the commonly used iodide/triiodide redox shuttle in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Here, we report the successful use of a new quasi-liquid, polymer-based electrolyte containing the Co(3+)/Co(2+) redox mediator in 3-methoxy propionitrile solvent in order to overcome the limitations of high cell resistanc...
متن کاملRecovering degraded quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells by applying electrical pulses.
We discovered a method of applying a forward pulsed bias to recover the degraded quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Up to 30.7% of the power conversion efficiency (η) of a degraded poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) based DSSC was recovered by a double-pulse. The recovered η remained higher than that before the double-pulse treatment for at least 28 days. It is deduced that the...
متن کاملAn iodine-free electrolyte based on ionic liquid polymers for all-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells.
An ionic liquid polymer, poly (1-alkyl-3-(acryloyloxy)hexylimidazolium iodide), was employed as an iodine-free electrolyte in all-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells with an overall conversion efficiency of 5.29% under AM 1.5 simulated solar light (100 mW cm(-2)) illumination.
متن کاملSeparating the redox couple for highly efficient solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells.
To minimize the charge recombination between electrons and the electron acceptor in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells, we propose a separated electron donor and acceptor of a redox couple in the photoanode and in the cathode, respectively. Owing to the absence of the acceptor in the photoanode initially, the charge recombination rate is retarded remarkably, resulting in an increase of the ...
متن کاملGelation of ionic liquid-based electrolytes with silica nanoparticles for quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells.
For the first time silica nanoparticles were used to solidify ionic liquids. These ionic liquid-based quasi-solid-state electrolytes were successfully employed for regenerative photoelectrochemical cells that yielded 7% efficiency at AM 1.5 sunlight in combination with an amphiphilic ruthenium polypyridyl photosensitizer.
