Thermoset membranes as electrolytes for Dye Sensitized Solar Cells

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have attracted large attention due to their easy fabrication, low cost and high conversion efficiency. One of the major problems limiting the long-term stability of these devices is the volatilization of the liquid electrolytes. To solve this problem and give technological perspectives of DSSCs, many recent studies have been addressed to the preparation of quasi-solid electrolytes. In this work, we highlight the potential of free-radical photopolymerization as a method of preparation of quasi-solid polymer electrolytes.
