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%.
متن کاملEffect of iodine addition on solid-state electrolyte LiI/3-hydroxypropionitrile (1:4) for dye-sensitized solar cells.
It was observed that the ionic conductivity of the solid-state electrolyte LiI/3-hydroxypropionitrile (HPN) = 1:4 (molar ratio) decreased dramatically with increasing iodine (I(2)) concentration, which differs from the conduction behavior of the Grotthuss transport mechanism observed in liquid or gel electrolytes. The short-circuit photocurrent density (J(sc)) of the dye-sensitized solar cell (...
