Esterified cellulose-based quasi-solid electrolyte assembly for potential application in efficient dye-sensitized solar cell
This study explores the development of a quasi-solid electrolyte assembly using cellulose and phthalated cellulose for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). The fabricated DSSC, incorporating phthalated cellulose, an ionic liquid ([Bmim]I), and an I₃⁻/I⁻ redox shuttle, achieved a photo-conversion efficiency of 5.86 % under a light intensity of 100 mW·cm⁻². It is a noteworthy improvement over most other quasi-solid-state systems, typically with the performance in the range of ∼4.5–5.2 %, underlining it potential for designing energy devices using sustainability. The enhanced efficiency of this quasi-solid-state DSSC is attributed to improved ionic conductivity, resulting from the increased oxygen atoms in the grafted cellulose. These oxygen atoms interact with cationic moieties, facilitating a hopping mechanism that allows free anionic moieties to drive the redox couple. This research highlights the potential of biopolymer-based quasi-solid electrolytes, paving the way for sustainable, green photoconversion in DSSC technology.
