Synthesis and electrochemical characterization of physically cross-linked gel electrolyte for QSDSSC application

Quasi-solid-state dye sensitized solar cell (QSDSSC) is fabricated with PVA based gel electrolyte and the current-voltage characteristics and electrochemical impedance are tested under irradiance of AM 1.5 (100 mW cm− 2). An overall efficiency of 4.4% and 3.4% has been obtained for conventional DSSC and QSDSSC respectively.132
