분자량이 다른 PVP를 이용한 DSSC용 전해질의 특성
Characteristic of DSSC electrolytes manufactured with different molecular weight poly vinyl pyrrolidone
Gel polymer electrolytes for DSSC were manufactured with different molecular weight polymers and their impedance and photovoltaic performance were measured. PVP-a(Mw 40,000), and PVP-b(Mw 360,000) polymers were used for our study. Impedance spectra showed that PVP-a had lower resistance than PVP-b. But DSSC based on PVP electrolytes had similar efficiency. The efficiencies of DSSC with PVP-a and PVP-b gel polymer electrolyte were 1.5% and 1.6%. The reason of similar efficiency seemed to be the similar penetration behavior of PVP molecules into TiO2 nanoporous.
