Abstract
A gel polymer electrolyte is prepared by soaking a porous membrane in an organic electrolyte solution containing the I3â/Iâ redox couple. The ionic conductivity of the gel polymer electrolyte is 2.7Â ÃÂ 10â3Â SÂ cmâ1 at room temperature, and encapsulates the electrolyte solution well without solvent leakage. A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) employing the gel polymer electrolyte gives an open-circuit voltage of 0.72Â V and a short-circuit current of 6.27Â mAÂ cmâ2 at an incident light intensity of 100Â mWÂ cmâ2. This yields a conversion efficiency of 2.4%. The DSSC employing the gel polymer electrolyte shows a more stable photovoltaic performance than a DSSC assembled with liquid electrolyte.
