General description

1-Methyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide can be prepared by reacting 1-methylimidazole and propyl iodide.

Application

MPII in combination with poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) forms an ionic liquid polymer gel electolyte, which can be used in dye-sensitized nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2) solar cells.
Non-aqueous electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells.

A library of six selenorhodamine dyes (4-Se-9-Se) were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated as photosensitizers of TiO2 in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The dyes were constructed around either a bis(julolidyl)- or bis(half-julolidyl)-modified selenoxanthylium core functionalized at the 9-position with a thienyl

The presence of specific chemical additives in the redox electrolyte results in an efficient increase of the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The most effective additives are 4-tert-butylpyridine (TBP), N-methylbenzimidazole (NMBI) and guanidinium thiocyanate (GuNCS) that are adsorbed
