Influence of 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide ionic liquid on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cell using hexanoyl chitosan/poly(vinyl chloride) based polymer electrolyte

Biopolymer-Based Electrolytes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: A Critical Review

“…An increase in efficiency to 5.31% was also possible by passivating the surface of the photoanode from recombination with TBP and guanidinium thiocyanate. In their recent study, they incorporated MPII into the previously optimized HC/PVC/NaI electrolyte . MPII enhanced the conductivity of the DSSC by 8.7 times and efficiency by 1.55 times compared to the single salt system (of only NaI) because of the increase in iodide ions and large cationic size.…”

Preparation of poly (ε‐caprolactone) as a gel electrolyte fordye‐sensitizedsolar cells

“…12,13 Hence, the researchers had developed different types of electrolytes coupled with room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs), which are nonvolatile and possess high thermal and chemical stability. [14][15][16][17] Substantially to replace the LEs, 18,19 the DSSCs have been fabricated with the different polymer electrolytes (solid-state (SS), quasisolid-state (Q-SS), or gel). The hole-transporter materials (HTMs) are mainly inorganic materials that appear to have a good performance.…”

“…However, the LEs are related to the main problems, that is, the solvents cannot be consistent thermal stability, 11 easy oxidation/evaporation in the air, electrode corrosion, and dye limiting to stability 12,13 . Hence, the researchers had developed different types of electrolytes coupled with room‐temperature ionic liquids (ILs), which are nonvolatile and possess high thermal and chemical stability 14–17 …”

Electrocatalytic and structural properties and computational calculation of PAN-EC-PC-TPAI-I2gel polymer electrolytes for dye sensitized solar cell application

“…8 There are a variety of traditional polymer based materials on or aer synthetic polymers and their blends to biopolymer. 8 Some of the well known polymers are polyacrylonitrile (PAN), [9][10][11][12] polyethylene oxide (PEO), 13 polyethylene glycol (PEG), 14,15 poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), 16,17 poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA), 18 poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), 19 poly(vinylidene uoride) (PVdF) 20 and poly(vinylidene uoride-co-hexauoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP). 21,22 Until now, polysaccharides and modied polysaccharides based materials were in reality for their superior ionic conductivity at room temperature, which includes, for example, chitosan, 23,24 cellulose 25 and carrageenan.…”
