Abstract
An electrolyte additive is selected from N-alkyl benzimidazole derivatives and is applicable to dye-sensitized solar cells. Accordingly, the electrolyte additive can be added to electrolyte at low concentration, and loss of function due to crystallization after long-term use can be prevented; in addition, short circuit photocurrent density and solar energy-to-electricity conversion efficiency of solar cells incorporating the electrolyte additive can be increased.
