Abstract

The invention relates to electrolyte for a cell, in particular to electrolyte for a dye-sensitized solar cell. The electrolyte comprises a composition A, a composition B and a composition C, wherein the mass ratio of the composition A to the composition B to the composition C is 2-17:1-2:1-2; the composition A is a mixed solution formed by a redox couple, an additive which is chelated with a photo anode, and an ionic liquid; the redox couple comprises elementary iodine; the ionic liquid is an imidazole salt ionic liquid which is in the liquid state at room temperature; the molar ratio of the elementary iodine to the additive is 1:0.2-2; the concentration of the elementary iodine in the composition A of the mixed solution is between 0.01 and 1 mol/L; the composition B is an adhesive for increasing the viscosity of a system; and the composition C is a viscosity regulator for regulating the leveling property of the system under the condition of silk-screen printing. The invention has the advantages that the electrolyte system has small volatility and good long-term stability, and can perform silk-screen printing and meet the requirements of industrialized production.

Description

1. Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a battery electrolyte, in particular to an electrolyte for a dye-sensitized solar battery. 2. Background technology: [0002] With the increasing severity of the global energy crisis, people are eager to find a sustainable clean energy source. Solar energy, as an inexhaustible natural energy source, has increasingly attracted the attention of countries all over the world. Among them, the material-sensitized solar cell (DSC cell) is considered to be the representative of the third-generation solar cell because of its low cost and wide application. [0003] Electrolyte is one of the core parts of dye-sensitized solar cells, and the composition of the electrolyte greatly affects the photoelectric performance and long-term stability of the cells. Traditional organic liquid electrolytes are highly volatile, and batteries prepared with them are difficult to seal. Long-term use will cause problems such as electrolyte leakage and...
