Abstract:An electrolyte is one of the essential components in diverse electrochemical devices including lithium secondary batteries and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Traditional liquid electrolytes having a high ion conductivity suffer from a problem of lowering the durability of the electrochemical devices because they have high flowability and volatility. Therefore, to improve the reliability of the electrochemical devices, it is preferable to replace the liquid electrolyte with a quasi-solid electrolyte. Howev… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
