POSS with eight imidazolium iodide arms for efficient solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells†
Abstract
Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane functionalized with eight imidazolium iodide arms has been designed and synthesized for use as solid-state electrolytes in solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells, which exhibits a power conversion efficiency of 7.11% under one sun illumination and good long-term stability under one sun soaking.
