▎ 摘 要
The pursuit of technological implementation with no sacrifice of photovoltaic performances is a persistent objective for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Herein, we report an experimental realization of a graphene-incorporated quasi-solid-state DSSC comprising a graphene/TiO2 anode, a graphene integrated polyacrylate-poly(ethylene glycol) (PAA-PEG) gel electrolyte with I-/I-3(-) redox couples, and a graphene counter electrode. An efficiency of 3.62% is measured under global air mass irradiation for the quasi-solid-state solar cell with a graphene/TiO2 photoanode, a PAA-PEG/graphene gel electrolyte, and a graphene counter electrode. The new concept, along with promising results, demonstrates the potential application of the new solar cells for cost-effective electricity generation.
