Designing LiBOB-based electrolyte for dye-sensitised solar cell

Liquid electrolyte based on lithium bis(oxalato)borate (LiBOB) polymer was prepared for the application in dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs). The electrolyte was optimised with varying content of 4-tert-butylpyridine (4TBP), guanidinium thiocyanate (GuCN), iodine and 1-propyl-3-methylimidazolium io...
