Abstract:Aqueous dye-sensitized solar cells (a-DSSCs) have emerged
as a
promising option for safe, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly
photovoltaic technology. Unlike conventional organic-based DSSCs,
a-DSSCs utilize water as a greener and safer electrolyte solvent.
This study introduces for the first time the use of N-methylbenzimidazolium acetate (HNMBI+OAc–) along with a water-soluble copper redox-couple [bis(6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine)
copper (I/II) acetate] in a-DSSCs. The study delves into the electr… Show more
