Problems solved by technology

However, the synthesis of ionic liquids used in this method is difficult and expensive.
The Chinese patent application with the publication number CN101635200A discloses a dye-sensitized solar cell electrolyte and its preparation method: the non-polymeric ionic liquid polymeric ionic liquids ( one of), ionic liquid cross-linking agent and initiators (benzoin ether, One of them) after mixing evenly, the quasi-solid polymer gel electrolyte is prepared by in-situ polymerization. The electrolyte prepared by this method has good bonding performance and is easy to package; but the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery using this electrolyte needs to be further improved , the preparation method is more complex
[0004] It can be seen from the above that ionic liquids (imidazolium, sulfonium, pyridinium and guanidinium salts) are a common component of quasi-solid-state electrolytes, which play a huge role in increasing the photoelectric performance of batteries, but due to their complex synthesis methods And the high cost limits the application of ionic liquids in optoelectronic devices. For example, the commonly used 1,3-dimethylimidazolium iodide salt (CAS No. 4333-62-4) is still priced at ￥656 on the official website of Bailingwei. / 5g

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a low-cost quasi-solid electrolyte for a dye sensitized solar cell. The preparation method includes the following steps that: (1) a deep eutectic solvent is prepared: a hydrogen bond donor and a hydrogen bond acceptor are mixed uniformly and are dried, so that the deep eutectic solvent can be obtained, wherein the hydrogen bond donor is urea or glycerol, and the hydrogen bond acceptor is choline chloride or choline bromide; and (2) the quasi solid state electrolyte is prepared: agarose is added into N-methyl pyrrolidone at first, and an obtained mixture is stirred evenly, and then, I2 and LiI are added into the mixture, and a newly-obtained mixture is stirred evenly, and finally, the deep eutectic solvent is added into the mixture, and the deep eutectic solvent and the mixture are mixed evenly, so that the quasi-solid electrolyte can be obtained. The quasi-solid electrolyte obtained through adopting the preparation method has high ionic conductivity and stability. The deep eutectic solvent adopted by the preparation method of the invention is low in cost and easy to synthetise, and has high ionic conductivity. When the quasi-solid electrolyte is applied to an optoelectronic device, the optoelectronic device can maintain excellent photoelectric performance and high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
