Abstract

Hydroxyethyl and ester co-functionalized imidazolium iodide has been designed and synthesized as an efficient solid state electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells. Single crystal X-ray analyses confirm the presence of ordered three dimensional ionic channels for iodide, which exhibits high conductivity when mixed with iodine and LiI and achieves a power conversion efficiency of 7.45%.
