摘要: Abstract The incorporation of polyaniline (PANi) with three-dimensional (3D) gel matrix is versatile in expanding reduction reaction (triiodide → iodide) area from Pt counter electrode/electrolyte interface to 3D framework the conducting electrolyte and elevating electrocatalytic activity. In current work, four methods have been applied fabricate PANi incorporated poly(acrylic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PAA-PEG) electrolytes an aim enhancing dosage therefore charge-transfer ability. electrical electrochemical performances resultant are thoroughly characterized. An impressive light-to-electric power conversion efficiency 7.36% determined B2 based dye-sensitized solar cell.
