Abstract
An organic–inorganic composite gel electrolyte based on TiO2 gel, γ-butyrolactone (γ-BL) and N-methyl pyridine iodide was prepared by the sol–gel method. This gel electrolyte shows high ambient ionic conductivity of 7.63 mS cm−1, which is close to the data of liquid electrolyte with the same organic iodide salt and γ-butyrolactone. Based on the gel electrolyte, a quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cell was fabricated and the highest overall energy conversion efficiency of light-to-electricity of 3.06% was achieved under irradiation of 60 mW cm−2.
