Polymer electrolyte composition and dye-sensitized solar cell containing the same

Abstract

Disclosed is a polymer electrolyte composition, a gel-type polymer electrolyte obtained by mixing the same at normal temperature, and a dye-sensitized solar cell containing the electrolyte. Since the poly(alkylene carbonate)-based polymer is included, a crosslinking process by radiation of heat or UV is not required when the polymer electrolyte is manufactured, such that a manufacturing process is simple. Accordingly, the polymer electrolyte is useful for mass production of a solar cell and maintained in a uniform state without a phase separation between two components due to excellent affinity between the polymer and the organic solvent included in the electrolyte, and has excellent electrode-electrolyte interface property in the solar cell due to an adhesive property of the gelled polymer electrolyte.
