Abstract

Compatability of copper(i) based dyes with quasi solid state electrolytes enhanced with cellulose nano crystals in DSSCs is demonstrated.

Highlights

  • In order to meet future global energy demands in a sustainable manner, it is crucial to optimize methods of solar energy harvesting and conversion to electrical energy.[1]

  • Polymerization of nano composites was added to a set of vials, followed with oligomer solution in appropriate amounts to obtain the cellulose nano crystals (CNCs) concentrations desired in each vial

  • A series of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) sensitized with the bis(diimine)copper(I) dye shown in Scheme 2 and with a nano cellulose composite incorporated into the I3À/IÀ-based electrolyte has successfully been fabricated
