染料敏化太阳电池电解质

Electrolytes in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

染料敏化太阳电池是新一代的太阳电池,有着巨大的应用前景。其中电解质体系是该类电池组成的主要部分,对电池性能有着重要的影响。本文介绍了染料敏化太阳电池的基本结构和原理,详细评述了近几年国内外学者对染料敏化太阳电池用电解质体系的研究进展情况,根据电解质的存在状态将其分为液态、准固态和固态3大类并逐一进行介绍,最后对该领域的前景进行了展望。

As a new generation of solar cell, dye-sensitized solar cell（DSC） shows an optimistic foreground for the application. The electrolytes play an important role on the DSC performance. Here we introduce the structure and mechanism of DSC, and then we also discuss the current progress of electrolytes used in DSC by classing the electrolytes as liquid, quasi-solid and solid based on the states of the electrolytes in details. At last, the future development tendency of electrolytes used in dye-sensitized solar cells is prospected.
