“…Low boiling point solvents, i.e., ACN (acetonitrile CH 3 CN) or valeronitrile, have other problems, which include the leakage of electrolytes from the DSSC device structure, which has been observed in harsh long-term stability tests [25,26,27,28,29], and their incompatibility with conducting polymer substrates (such as ITO-PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and ITO-PEN (polyethylene naphthalate)) that are used in flexible DSSCs [29,30,49,50,51].…”

“…The highest device efficiencies that have achieved to date have been reported for front-illuminated DSSCs with a light-scattering TiO 2 layer [15,16,17,19]. However, iterestingly, both bifacial and front-illuminated DSSC device designs are among the most stable device structures when tested with alternative solvent-based electrolytes as compared to traditional electrolytes based on low viscosity solvents (i.e., ACN or valeronitrile) [25,26,27,57,58].…”

“…However, the most efficient DSSC normally use a liquid electrolyte, which is still a limiting factor for the large-scale production. Major commercial success has not been realized despite the existence of a few commercial applications [12,21,22,23,24], due to issues with their long-term performance stability and up-scaling challenges [12,25,26,27,28]. One of the major reasons for the modest long-term stability of DSSCs is their liquid electrolyte, which serves as a mediator between the photoelectrode (PE) and counter electrode (CE) and it has problems that are associated with leakage and exposure to ultraviolet radiations [29,30].…”

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been intensely researched for more than two decades. Electrolyte formulations are one of the bottlenecks to their successful commercialization, since these result in trade-offs between the photovoltaic performance and long-term performance stability. The corrosive nature of the redox shuttles in the electrolytes is an additional limitation for industrial-scale production of DSSCs, especially with low cost metallic electrodes. Numerous electrolyte formulations have been developed and tested in various DSSC configurations to address the aforementioned challenges. Here, we comprehensively review the progress on the development and application of electrolytes for DSSCs. We particularly focus on the improvements that have been made in different types of electrolytes, which result in enhanced photovoltaic performance and long-term device stability of DSSCs. Several recently introduced electrolyte materials are reviewed, and the role of electrolytes in different DSSC device designs is critically assessed. To sum up, we provide an overview of recent trends in research on electrolytes for DSSCs and highlight the advantages and limitations of recently reported novel electrolyte compositions for producing low-cost and industrially scalable solar cell technology.
