Abstract:

There have been reviews of high-performance polymer electrolytes for dye-sensitised solar cell applications. Recent developments in dye sensitised solar cell (DSSC) technology have shown that adding inorganic nanofillers to polymer electrolytes is a viable way to improve the devices’ electrochemical performance and structural stability. We describe our developed systems and stacks for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolysis that are optimised for direct coupling to a photovoltaic (PV) panel. An effective substitute for liquid electrolytes is provided by gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs). They have higher interfacial adhesion qualities and similar conductivity. Additionally, GPE can lessen the leakage problem because the salt that has been dissolved in the solvent is contained inside the polymer network. Analysing charge-transfer mechanisms in the electrolyte’s bulk and at its contacts with other materials is crucial because it plays a significant part in the current generation process in dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSCs). Gel polymer electrolytes are more useful and convenient to use than liquid electrolytes due to solvent confinement; however, further research is still required to maximise their efficacy.
