Ionic liquid electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The potential of room-temperature molten salts (ionic liquids) as solvents for electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells has been investigated during the last decade. The non-volatility, good solvent properties and high electrochemical stability of ionic liquids make them attractive solvents in contrast to volatile organic solvents. Despite this, the relatively high viscosity of ionic liquids leads to mass-transport limitations. Here we review recent developments in the application of different ionic liquids as solvents or components of liquid and quasi-solid electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells. 相似文献

The present review offers a survey of liquid electrolytes used in dye-sensitized solar cells from the beginning of photoelectrochemical cell research. It handles both the solvents employed, and the prerequisites identified for an ideal liquid solvent, as well as the various effects of electrolyte solutes in terms of redox systems and additives. The conclusions of the present review call for more detailed molecular insight into the electrolyte-electrode interface reactions and structures. 相似文献

For the first time silica nanoparticles were used to solidify ionic liquids. These ionic liquid-based quasi-solid-state electrolytes were successfully employed for regenerative photoelectrochemical cells that yielded 7% efficiency at AM 1.5 sunlight in combination with an amphiphilic ruthenium polypyridyl photosensitizer. 相似文献

In solvent-free ionic liquid electrolytes for efficient dye-sensitized solar cells, iodide and non-iodide melts are ordinarily blended in order to attain a high dynamic fluidity and thereby meet a fast mass transport of electroactive species. This common tactic could bring forth a prominent impact of various anions on cell efficiency by altering photocurrent and/or photovoltage. Herein we report evident effects of the dicyanamide versus tetracyanoborate anion on the energetics of titania conduction band edge and the kinetics of multi-channel charge-transfer reactions in cells employing a high absorption coefficient ruthenium sensitizer C106. A slightly shorter photoluminescence lifetime of C106 grafted on alumina is probed for the tetracyanoborate-based reference cell with respect to the dicyanamide counterpart. However, owing to a more favourable thermodynamic driving force of ~90 meV, the tetracyanoborate anion prompts an almost 3-fold faster electron injection from the excited-state dye to titania than dicyanamide, leading to a higher charge separation yield, which is in good agreement with an almost indistinguishable ratio of external quantum efficiency enhancement in the whole spectral response region. Compared to tetracyanoborate, the presence of dicyanamide at the titania/electrolyte interface evokes a 27-fold smaller interfacial electron exchange rate (K) with triiodide, accounting for the open-circuit photovoltage variation observed in current-voltage measurements. 相似文献

The co-sensitization of two organic dyes (SQ1 and JK2), which are complementary in their spectral responses, shows enhanced photovoltaic performance compared with that of an individual organic dye-sensitized solar cell. The power conversion efficiency of the co-sensitized organic dye solar cell based on the newly developed binary ionic liquid (solvent-free) electrolyte gives 6.4% under AM 1.5 sunlight at 100 mW/cm2 irradiation, which is higher than that of individual dye-sensitized solar cells. The incident monochromatic photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of the co-sensitized solar cell shows typical absorption peaks at 530 and 650 nm corresponding to the two dyes and displays a broad spectral response over the entire visible spectrum with IPCE of >40% in the 400-700 nm wavelength domain. 相似文献

Solidifying liquid electrolytes with fluorine polymer and silica nanoparticles for quasi-solid dye-sensitized solar cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and silica nanoparticles were employed to solidify 3-methoxypropionitrile based liquid electrolytes containing an ionic liquid, 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide, as iodide resource. These new quasi-solid-state electrolytes were successfully used for regenerative phtoelectrochemical cells that yielded about 6.7% efficiency under simulated full sunlight (air mass 1.5, 100 mW cm−2) in combination with an amphiphilic ruthenium polypyridyl photosensitizer. The as-fabricated device showed a good thermostability at 80 °C for 30 days, maintaining higher than 90% of its initial performance. 相似文献

In this work, we investigate the effect of morphology and segmental dynamics on ion transport in polymerized lyotropic liquid crystals (polyLLCs) containing 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate as ionic liquid (IL). We demonstrate that two important factors, which affect ion conduction in polyLLCs, are grain size and chain density at the interface. The polyLLC with large grain size (70 nm) shows significant reduction in ion conductivity (one order of magnitude) compared to its homopolymer/IL mixture. However, the polyLLC with small grain size (20 nm) has little difference in ion conductivity compared to its homopolymer/IL mixture. It is observed that decreasing the chain density enhances the interaction of IL with polymer chains and consequently slows the relaxation of polymer chains. In addition, comparing the dynamics of polymer chains in mixtures of homopolymer/IL and templated LLC mesophases shows that the confinement in LLC structure prolongs the relaxation of polymer chains. 相似文献

We utilize a quaternary ammonium salt-derivative ionic liquid called G.CI which is a eutectic mixture of glycerol and choline iodide as electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells. Such eutectic compound belongs to a new series of ionic liquid called deep eutectic solvents (DES), which possess many outstanding features compared to the traditional imidazolium-based ionic liquids including cheap raw materials, simple preparation procedures and better biocompatibility. Current–voltage characteristics of the G.CI/PMII-based binary electrolytes stand at 0.533 V on Voc, 12.0 mA cm?2 on Jsc, 0.582 on fill factor, and 3.88% cell efficiency under AM 1.5, 100 mW/cm2 illuminations. The comparable cell performance together with all the above advantages makes G.CI as a strong candidate for future electrolyte development for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). 相似文献

Dye-sensitized solar cells(DSSCs) are the most promising, low cost and most extensively investigated solar cells. They are famous for their clean and efficient solar energy conversion. Nevertheless this, long-time stability is still to be acquired. In recent years research on solid and quasi-solid state electrolytes is extensively increased. Various quasi-solid electrolytes, including composites polymer electrolytes, ionic liquid electrolytes,thermoplastic polymer electrolytes and thermosetting polymer electrolytes have been used. Performance and stability of a quasi-solid state electrolyte are between liquid and solid electrolytes. High photovoltaic performances of QS-DSSCs along better long-term stability can be obtained by designing and optimizing quasi-solid electrolytes. It is a prospective candidate for highly efficient and stable DSSCs. 相似文献

A series of allyl-functionalized imidazolium salts are reported, including 1-allyl-3-ethylimidazolium iodide and 1-allyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide, which have melting points close to room temperature and show typical properties of supercooled fluids if heated above their melting points. Their viscosities in the liquid state are considerably lower than the benchmark ionic liquid used in solar cells, viz., 1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide. Electrolytes containing these new liquids provide excellent efficiencies and good stability in dye-sensitized solar cells when subjected to an accelerated-light soaking test at 60 degrees C. The structures of three of the new salts have been established in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray analysis. 相似文献

The sunlight is the largest single available source of clean and renewable energy to ensure human society’s sustainable development. Owing to their low production cost and high energy conversion efficiency, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been regarded as good alternatives to conventional photovoltaic devices. Herein, a series of composite electrolytes based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and the binary ionic liquids 1-propyl-3-methy-imidazolium iodide ([PMIm]I) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate ([EMIm][SCN]) were prepared and then applied to fabricate six DSSCs. The composite electrolytes were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS). It was shown that the addition of binary ionic liquids would reduce the degree of crystallinity of PEO, thus improving the ionic conductivities of the electrolytes by about 2 orders of magnitude. Investigation on the photovoltaic performances of these DSSCs showed that the fill factor (FF) could reach up to 0.67 and energy conversion efficiency (η) could reach up to 4.04% under AM 1.5 full sunlight (100 mW/cm2). 相似文献

A novel composite polymeric gel comprising room-temperature ionic liquids (1-butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium-hexafluorophosphate, BMImPF6) and heteropolyacids (phosphotungstic acid, PWA) in poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) matrix was successfully prepared and employed as a quasi-solid state electrolyte in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). These composite polymer electrolytes offered specific benefits over the ionic liquids and heteropolyacids, which effectively enhanced the ionic conductivity of the composite polymer electrolyte. Unsealed devices employing the composite polymer electrolyte with the 3% content of PWA achieved the solar to electrical energy conversion efficiency of 1.68% under irradiation of 50 mW cm−2 light intensity, increasing by a factor of more than three compared to a DSSC with the blank BMImPF6-based polymer electrolyte without PWA. It is expected that these composite polymer electrolytes are an attractive alternative to previously reported hole transporting materials for the fabrication of the long-term stable quasi-solid state or solid state DSSCs. 相似文献

The present work develops a new type of solvent-free copolymer electrolyte based on polysiloxane for dye-sensitized solar
cells (DSSCs). The electrolyte is characterized by conductivity measurements, hydrogen-1 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy,
rheology, and DSSC performance. Repeated units of the ethylene oxide on methylhydrosiloxane show plasticizing effects and
enhanced durability of the DSSCs. DSSC employing the polysiloxane electrolytes show no energy conversion efficiency decay
after 16 days test at room temperature and yields a conversion efficiency of 1.5% during long-term stability measurement at
90 °C under white light irradiation of 100 mW cm−2. The new solvent-free polysiloxane copolymer electrolyte can be good candidate for next generation DSSC. 相似文献

The exfoliated montmorillonite (exMMT) nanoplatelets that carry negative charges are capable of adsorbing 1-methyl-3-propyl-imidazolium cations to form a gel-type ionic liquid-based electrolyte system for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Interestingly, it also increases the power conversion efficiency of DSSC from 6.58% to 7.77% at full sun. The increased efficiency is attributed to the decreased resistance of gel electrolyte system and enhanced reduction reaction rate at the counter electrode, both of which are related to the two-dimensional electrolyte nature of exMMTs that repel the I(-)/I(3)(-) redox couples toward their major conduction pathway. 相似文献

Various iodide ion conducting polymer electrolytes have been studied as candidate materials for fabricating photoelectrochemical
(PEC) solar cells and energy storage devices. In this study, enhanced ionic conductivity values were obtained for the ionic
liquid tetrahexylammonium iodide containing polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based plasticized electrolytes. The analysis of thermal
properties revealed the existence of two phases in the electrolyte, and the conductivity measurements showed a marked conductivity
enhancement during the melting of the plasticizer-rich phase of the electrolyte. Annealed electrolyte samples showed better
conductivity than nonannealed samples, revealing the existence of hysteresis. The optimum conductivity was shown for the electrolytes
with PEO:salt = 100:15 mass ratio, and this sample exhibited the minimum glass transition temperature of 72.2 °C. For this
optimum PEO to salt ratio, the conductivity of nonannealed electrolyte was 4.4 × 10−4 S cm−1 and that of the annealed sample was 4.6 × 10−4 S cm−1 at 30 °C. An all solid PEC solar cell was fabricated using this annealed electrolyte. The short circuit current density (I
SC), the open circuit voltage (V
OC), and the power conversion efficiency of the cell are 0.63 mA cm−2, 0.76 V, and 0.47% under the irradiation of 600 W m−2 light. 相似文献

A novel ionic liquid crystal (ILC) system (C(12)MImI/I(2)) with a smectic A phase used as an electrolyte for a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) showed the higher short-circuit current density (J(SC)) and the higher light-to-electricity conversion efficiency than the system using the non-liquid crystalline ionic liquid (C(11)MImI/I(2)), due to the higher conductivity of ILC. To investigate charge transport properties of the electrolytes in detail, the exchange reaction-based diffusion coefficients (D(ex)) were evaluated. The larger D(ex) value of ILC supported that the higher conductivity of ILC is attributed to the enhancement of the exchange reaction between iodide species. As a result of formation of the two-dimensional electron conductive pathways organized by the localized I(3)- and I- at S(A) layers, the concentration of polyiodide species exemplified by I(m)- (m = 5, 7, ...) was higher in C(12)MImI/I(2). However, as the increment of the concentration of polyiodide species is less than that of D(ex), the contribution of a two-dimensional structure of the conductive pathway through the increase of collision frequency between iodide species was proposed. Furthermore, a quasi-solid-state ionic liquid crystal DSSC was successfully fabricated by employing a low molecular gelator. Addition of the 5.0 g/L gelator to ILC improved light-to-electricity conversion efficiency through the increase of J(SC) due to the enhancement of the conductivity in C(12)MImI/I(2)-gel. 相似文献
