Two kinds of polymer gel electrolytes have been prepared. The first one is composed of siloxane polymer only, while the second one is composed of blend of siloxane and ethylene glycol polymers. The fabricated DSSC have the same structure configuration, namely ITO/Ti:ZnO/TiO2/Ru-dye/gelelectrolyte/Pt/ITO. DSSCs with the second type of gel electrolyte were found to exhibit much better photovoltaic performance in comparison to those with the first type of gel electrolyte. This fact is in agreement with the results from impedance spectroscopy measurements, which indicate more facile charge transfer process and much smaller ionic polarizations in the cell with the second type of gel electrolyte. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]DSSC,Gel electrolyte,Impedance spectroscopy,Solar cell[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4820283[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
