technologists as a potential candidate to supplement future energy needs. The conduction of
iodide ions in quasi-solid-state polymer electrolytes and the performance of dye sensitized
solar cells containing such electrolytes can be enhanced by incorporating iodides having
appropriate cations. Gel-type electrolytes, based on PAN host polymers and mixture of salts
tetrahexylammonium iodide (Hex4N+ I−) and MgI2, were prepared by incorporating …
