Abstract: Poly(ethylene oxide)/titania polymer electrolyte based photoelectrochemical cells have been fabricated with Ru(dcbpy) 2 (NCS) 2 complex as the sensitizer and nanoporous TiO 2 films as photoanodes. The introduction of the titania filler into the poly(ethylene oxide) matrix reduces the crystallinity of the polymer and enhances the mobility of the I -/I 3redox couple, resulting in outstanding overall conversion efficiency (4.2% under direct sunlight illumination) of the corresponding dye-sensitized nanocrystallin… Show more

“…The addition of such particles enhances the thermal and mechanical stability of such materials and in some cases increases the ionic conductivity. 21 Several groups working in this area have used this approach with the introduction of inorganic nanofillers, 22,23 and hybrid organic-inorganic electrolytes (i.e. ionic liquids together with nanoparticles) [24][25][26] has become a common route to elaborate polymer (or gel) electrolytes with improved ionic conductivity and mechanical properties.…”

“…1). The color of the device can be easily varied by the choice of dye [67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75]. The chemical and physical composition and structure of electrolyte mainly effects on the stability and solar energy conversion efficiency of the DSSC [49][50][51][52][53][54][55].…”

“…Electrolytes based on volatile organic solvents are rather impractical due to their instability during operation at higher temperatures. Recently, some efforts have been made to replace the organic solvent electrolytes with p-type inorganic semiconductors [16,17], polymer electrolytes [18,19], and organic holetransport materials [20], but their efficiencies still require improvement. Ionic liquid-based electrolytes have been found promising for DSSCs because of their reasonable conductivity and such features as negligible vapor pressure and non-flammability [21].…”
