Abstract
Promoted by the growing concerns about the worldwide energy demand and global warming, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are currently attracting worldwide scientific and technological interest because of their high energy conversion efficiency and simple fabrication process. Considering long-terms stability and practice applications, growing attentions have been paid to non-volatile, 3-methoxyproprionitrile (MPN)-based electrolyte, ionic liquids (ILs) electrolyte, as well as quasi-solid state electrolyte. In this present review, recent progress in electrolyte for DSSCs made by our group are summarized, including component-optimization of the non-volatile electrolyte, the fluidity-dependent charge transport mechanism in the binary IL electrolytes as well as the structure dominance of the employed ILs. Furthermore, progress on the quasi-solid state electrolyte based on inorganic nanomaterials as gelators in our group has also been outlined.
