Abstract

This invention relates to an electrolyte based on iodine salt alcohol solution, which is made from mixing iodine salt, simple substance 12 and alcohol solution uniformly and may include ligand compound, additive, gel agent and ceramic powder coordinated with the iodine salt. This invented electrolyte can be used in dye sensitized solar cells or other energy-storage or conversion devices such as electrochemical cells and capacitors and the advantage of the electrolyte is to become liquid state, solid or gel state according to the needs and fills the porous membrane of dye sensitized soalr cells fully and contacts with electrode very well to keep the cell at high photoelectric conversion efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrolyte solution based on iodine salt ethanol solution and its application in dye-sensitized solar cells and other energy conversion and storage devices. Background technique [0002] Electrolyte materials with high conductivity and stable performance can be used as electrolytes for various batteries and have broad application prospects. In 1991, Professor Gr_tzel Michael of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and his collaborators published an article in the "Nature" magazine (Nature, Volume 353, Page 737, 1991 (Nature, Vol.353, 737, 1991)), introducing a A new type of solar cell - dye-sensitized solar cell. This kind of battery has simple preparation process, low cost and high efficiency, so it has attracted extensive attention from scientists all over the world. At present, the electrolytes used in this battery are mainly divided into three categories: one is to dissolve inorganic or organic iodides in organic...
