Dye-sensitized Ti[O.sub.2] solar cells using imidazolium-type ionic liquid crystal systems as effective electrolytes
Article Abstract:
The charge transport properties of the unique ionic liquid crystal electrolyte (ILC) system ([C.sub.12]MImI/[I.sub.2]) are analyzed by investigating the exchange reaction-based diffusion coefficients. It is observed that model exhibited higher short-circuit current density and the higher light-to-electric conversion efficiency than the system utilizing the non-liquid crystalline ionic liquid because of the increased conductivity of ILC.

Effect of iodine addition on solid-state electrolyte LiI/3-hydroxypropionitrile (1:4) for dye-sensitized solar cells
Article Abstract:
The ionic conductivity of the solid-state electrolyte Lil/3-hydroxypropionitrile = 1:4 decreases dramatically with increasing I(sub 2) concentration. The low mobility of polyiodides contributes to the variation of the ionic conductivity of the electrolyte after I(sub 2) is added.
