To pursue electron-generation stability with no sacrifice of photovoltaic performance has been a persistent objective for all kinds of solar cells.Here,we demonstrate the experimental realization of this objective by quasi-solid-state quantum dot-sensitized solar cells from a series of conducting gel electrolytes composed of polyacrylamide (PAAm) matrix and conductive polymers [polyaniline (PANi),polypyrrole (PPy) or polythiophene (PT)].The reduction of Sx2-occurred in both interface and three dimensional framework of conducting gel electrolyte as a result of the electrical conduction of PANi,PPy and PT toward refluxed electrons from external circuit to Pt electrode.The resulting solar cells can yield the solarto-electrical conversion efficiency of 2.33%,2.25% and 1.80% for PANi,PPy and PT based gel electrolytes,respectively.Those solar cells possessed much higher efficiency than that of 1.74% based on pure PAAm gel electrolyte owing to the enhanced kinetics for Sx2 (→) S2 conversion.More importantly,the stability of quasi-solid-state solar cell is significantly advanced,arising from the localization of liquid electrolyte into the three dimensional framework and therefore reduced leakage and volatilization.
