  • In this study, polyethylene oxide (PEO) (400 000 g/mol) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) (400 g/mol) are utilized to prepare polymeric solid-state electrolyte containing I-/I3- redox couple, and employed to fabricate all-solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (s-DSSC). First of all, a gel-state electrolyte was prepared by introducing PEO and PEG into an ACN liquid electrolyte. Two methods were used to fabricate solid-state cells. The first one is printing the gel-electrolyte directly on a TiO2 photo-electrode, followed by covering a counter electrode and evaporating the ACN solvent in a vacuum chamber. After sealing the cell, a solid-state DSSC was fabricated. For the second method, a solid-state electrolyte film was prepared first by printing the gel-electrolyte on a glass substrate and evaporating the solvent. The films were stripped off from the glass surface and then, sandwiched between photo-electrode and counter electrode by hot pressing. The spectrum of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy didn’t show the ACN peak, confirming the formation of solid-state electrolytes. By regulation the concentration of PEO/PEG, as well as utilization of TiO2 nanofillers, the highest power conversion efficiencies of the solid-state DSSC measured under one sun illumination is 8.07% by the first method (in-situ solidification), and 8.13 % by using the solid-state film electrolytes. These solid-state DSSCs can retain 94% of their initial value after one month test in room temperature.
