Efficiency enhancement of dye-sensitized solar cell with PVdF-HFP:MPII:NaI quasi-solid-state electrolyte

Quasi-solid-state polymer electrolyte (QSSPE) based on poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP) was prepared using sodium iodide (NaI) salt, 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide (MPII) ionic liquid, propylene carbonate (PC) and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) plasticizers.
