Abstract

Abstract : PEDOT- b -PEG block copolymer doped with perchlorate on FTO shows excellent performance as a counter electrode in polymer electrolyte-based solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells. Abstract : A poly(3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)- b -poly(ethylene glycol) (PEDOT- b -PEG) block copolymer doped with perchlorate on FTO shows excellent optical and interfacial performance as a counter electrode (CE), such as low charge transfer resistance and low reflectivity for polymer electrolyte-based solid-state dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), resulting in 8.45% energy conversion efficiency, greater than the common Pt CE, via a facile room-temperature process.
