Hydrogel electrolytes for sustainable Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

keywords ELECTROLYTE, HYDROGELS, SOLAR CELLS, SOLAR ENERGY

Reference persons FEDERICO BELLA, TERESA GATTI

External reference persons Sara Domenici (PhD student)

Research Groups AA - Elettrochemistry

Thesis type EXPERIMENTAL THESIS

Description Using water-based electrolytes for DSSCs eliminates the risks associated with organic electrolytes, for example toxicity and flammability, and also ensures eco-friendliness. The aqueous electrolyte can also be trapped in a gel matrix, which yields long-term stability of the device. In this thesis work, the student will be able to assemble, characterize and optimize DSSCs using hydrogel electrolytes.
The activity is particularly interesting because it allows the candidate to see the entire supply chain on the topic, from the preparation of the components to the assembly and testing of the devices at a laboratory scale.

Required skills Chemistry and/or materials engineering, conversion technologies of solar energy
