چکیده

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.

Ionic liquid electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells.

The potential of room-temperature molten salts (ionic liquids) as solvents for electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells has been investigated during the last decade. The non-volatility, good solvent properties and high electrochemical stability of ionic liquids make them attractive solvents in contrast to volatile organic solvents. Despite this, the relatively high viscosity of ionic liquids...

A new class of solid state ionic conductors for application in all solid state dye sensitized solar cells.

Solid state ionic conductors based on a carbazole-imidazolium cation structure were synthesized for application in solid state dye sensitized solar cells. Solid state electrolytes using designed solid state ionic conductors and iodine provide dual channels for hole/triiodide transportation, giving rise to a good conversion efficiency of 2.85%.
