Poly (1-vinyl-3-propylimidazolium) iodide (P(ViPrIm+I−)) was synthesized in an environmentally friendly way in order to develop a micro-porous polymer electrolyte for quasi-solid-state dye sensitized solar cells. The samples were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimeter and Scanning Electron Microscope respectively. Moreover, the ionic conductivity of the electrolytes was measured by electrochemical workstation. The results indicated that the incorporation of P(ViPrIm+I−) component into the polymer matrix changed significantly the morphology and improved the electrochemical behavior of the gel polymer electrolyte. The P(ViPrIm+I−) can act as not only the polymer matrix but also the source of iodide. A dye-sensitized solar cell employing gel polymer electrolyte yielded an open-circuit voltage of 0.694 V, short-circuit current of 12.752 mAcm−2 and the conversion efficiency of 5.66% at 1 sun illumination.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
