| 摘 要： | 1 Introduction Over the past decade,Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been intensively investigated as potential alternatives to conventional inorganic photovoltaic devices due to their low production cost and high energy conversion1-4]. This type of solar cell has achieved an impressive energy conversion efficiency of over 10%,whose electrolyte is a voltaic organic liquid solvent containing iodide/triiodide as redox couple.However,the use of a liquid electrolyte brings difficulties in the practical application of DSSCs because of leakage and evaporation.It is well-known that ionic liquids having unique properties,such as nonvolatility,chemical and electrochemical stabilities,high ionic conductivity and gel-forming properties with polymer.Therefore,ionic liquids have attracted great attention in DSSCs due to their remarkable properties.The poly(theylene oxide) (PEO) is classical polymer matrix for solid polymer electrolyte.Based on this knowledge,our group introduced PEO-imidazole ionic liquid oligomer to electrolyte in DSSCs2]. The gel electrolytes are also used to replace the liquid electrolytes.The gel electrolytes made from physically cross-linked gelators are unstable and have trouble in permeating into the pores of TiO2 electrodes.Our group introduced the quaternization reaction of two constituents of latent chemically cross-linked gel electrolyte precursors to overcome the permeating problem3]. Pyridine group in organic molecules or poly(vinylpyridine) contained in the electrolyte not only can improve the open-circuit photovoltage,but also can be the reaction sites of quaternization reaction.The poly (4-vinylpyridine-co-acrylonitrile) has been synthesized and applied in the chemical gel electrolyte4]. In this study,the copolymer of 4-vinylpyridine and oligo ethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate was synthesized and used to form all solid state electrolyte or quasi solid state electrolyte with multifunctional halogen derivatives in DSSCs.
