Efficient Organic-Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Based on an Iodine-Free Electrolyte

Deiodized salt: An organic redox couple (McMT−/BMT) was adopted for application in dye‐sensitized solar cells. Based on a low‐cost organic dye, TH305, an efficiency of 4.0 % was achieved under simulated sunlight (100 mW cm−2). Photoelectrochemical measurements provided insights into the difference b...

Summary:Deiodized salt: An organic redox couple (McMT−/BMT) was adopted for application in dye‐sensitized solar cells. Based on a low‐cost organic dye, TH305, an efficiency of 4.0 % was achieved under simulated sunlight (100 mW cm−2). Photoelectrochemical measurements provided insights into the difference between the organic redox couple and traditional iodine‐based electrolytes.
