Enhancing the efficiency of quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells by adding bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium salt and camphorsulfonic acid to gel-based electrolytes

Journal Article Tsai, Chih-Hung; Chen, Yu-Lin; Hsu, Hsiao-Lung; ... - Materials Research Bulletin

Highlights: • Bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium salt and camphorsulfonic acid were added to the gel-based electrolytes for DSSCs. • Lithium salt and camphorsulfonic acid can enhance the conductivity of the electrolytes. • Adding lithium salt and camphorsulfonic acid to the gel-based electrolytes effectively enhanced the DSSC efficiency. • The DSSC devices with the gel-based electrolytes exhibited a longer stability. - Abstract: In this study, gel-based electrolytes were produced by mixing a liquid-based electrolyte with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), which served as a gelator to enhance the stability of the electrolytes and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Furthermore, bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium salt (LiTFSI) and camphorsulfonic acidmore »« less

Quasi‐Solid‐State Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells Containing a Charged Thermoplastic Elastomeric Gel Electrolyte and Hydrophilic/phobic Photosensitizers

Journal Article Al‐Mohsin, Heba; Mineart, Kenneth; Armstrong, Daniel; ... - Solar RRL

As the threat of global climate change due to combustion emissions becomes increasingly alarming, the search for clean and sustainable alternative energy is of paramount importance. With this objective in mind, harnessing solar energy is particularly attractive due to ongoing improvements in silicon‐, perovskite‐, and organic‐based solar cells. Of these, dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) constitute a promising technology due to their relatively low cost, moderate conversion efficiency, and robust mechanical properties. An important breakthrough in the development of DSSCs is the use of polymer gel electrolytes. In this work, we employ amphiphilic thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) in the form of sulfonatedmore »« less

Gel polymer electrolytes based on polyacrylonitrile and a novel quaternary ammonium salt for dye-sensitized solar cells

Journal Article Guiqiang, Wang; Xiaowen, Zhou; Mingyu, Li; ... - Materials Research Bulletin

Gel polymer electrolytes were prepared by incorporating polyacrylonitrile (PAN) in a mixture of polysiloxane with quaternary ammonium side groups (PSQAS), ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC) and iodine. The influence of PAN content on the ionic conductivity of gel polymer electrolytes and the charge-transfer kinetic performance in counterelectrode-electrolyte interface was investigated. The dye-sensitized solar cell with the gel polymer electrolyte containing 5 wt.% PAN showed the best photovoltaic performance; a maximum incident photon conversion efficiency of 63% at 520 nm was obtained, the short-circuit photocurrent density (J{sub sc}), the open-circuit voltage (V{sub oc}) and the fill factor (FF) were 7more »« less

A Review on Gel Polymer Electrolytes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Journal Article Raut, Prasad; Kishnani, Vinay; Mondal, Kunal; ... - Micromachines

Significant growth has been observed in the research domain of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) due to the simplicity in its manufacturing, low cost, and high-energy conversion efficiency. The electrolytes in DSSCs play an important role in determining the photovoltaic performance of the DSSCs, e.g., volatile liquid electrolytes suffer from poor thermal stability. Although low volatility liquid electrolytes and solid polymer electrolytes circumvent the stability issues, gel polymer electrolytes with high ionic conductivity and enduring stability are stimulating substitutes for liquid electrolytes in DSSC. Here, in this review paper, the advantages of gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) are discussed along with othermore »« less
