  • An organic redox electrolyte to rival triiodide/iodide in dye-sensitized solar cells

    Latest Articles Chemistry World 2010

  • Although triiodide/iodide redox couples work efficiently in DSCs, they suffer from two major disadvantages: electrolytes that contain triiodide/iodide corrode electrical contacts made of silver (which reduces the options for the scale up of DSCs to module size) and triiodide partially absorbs visible light.
