Abstract:
Disclosed is a polymer gel electrolyte composition. The composition includes an aqueous solution of a polysaccharide-based polymer and a liquid electrolyte in which a redox derivative is mixed with an organic solvent. The composition is easy to inject. The composition is free from problems of leakage and volatilization, thus being environmentally friendly. Further disclosed is a highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cell using the composition. The dye-sensitized solar cell is stable for a long period of time and can be readily commercialized.
