A UV-crosslinked polymer electrolyte membrane for quasi-solid dye-sensitized solar cells with excellent efficiency and durability

Abstract

Here we report on a novel polymer electrolyte membrane for quasi-solid dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with excellent efficiency and extended durability. The electrolyte is prepared by an elegant, rapid and cheap UV-induced polymerization method and the chemometric approach is used for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, for the optimization and the fine tuning of the experimental conditions.
