Lee C.-P.Ho K.-C.2019-05-172019-05-17201800143057https://scholars.lib.ntu.edu.tw/handle/123456789/408632Article Type: ReviewDye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is one of the third generation solar cells converting solar light into electricity that attracted a remarkable research interest globally due to their simple device fabrication processes in ambient conditions and reasonable cell efficiency for commercialization; moreover, the advantages on colorfulness, possible plasticity, and high conversion efficiencies under indoor illumination also render DSSC to play a crucial role in energy-harvesting systems for green buildings. To eliminate the electrolyte leakage issues in traditional DSSCs (i.e., cells with organic solvent-based electrolytes), new class of ionic liquids, namely poly(ionic liquid)s, are recently investigated and used as the quasi/all¡Vsolid state electrolyte to improve the cell durability. Herein, we give a short review on the poly(ionic liquid)s to be used as the quasi/all¡Vsolid state electrolytes in DSSCs. Finally, the future perspectives for the development of poly(ionic liquid)s for DSSCs are also briefly discussed. ? 2018 Elsevier LtdCell durabilityDye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC)ElectrolytePoly(ionic liquid) (PIL)[SDGs]SDG7[SDGs]SDG12review10.1016/j.eurpolymj.2018.09.0222-s2.0-85053785793https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85053785793&doi=10.1016%2fj.eurpolymj.2018.09.022&partnerID=40&md5=d71abddd82f0fe0271eeb050415f6df7
