Long-term stability for cobalt-based dye-sensitized solar cells obtained by electrolyte optimization

Abstract

A significant improvement in the long-term stability for cobalt-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) under light-soaking conditions has been achieved by optimization of the composition of tris(2,2′-bipyridine) Co(II)/Co(III) electrolytes. The effects of component exchanges and changes were also studied during the optimization process.
