Abstract

A new kind of hybrid electrolyte with S2−/Sx2− and I− was invented, and the new hybrid system was demonstrated to outperform the well-known I−/I3− redox system in DSCs. An efficiency of 9.1% was achieved in our lab under AM 1.5 illumination using the dye N719, considerably higher than the efficiency of 8.0% of the I−/I3−-based electrolyte.
