Abstract

The effects of the addition of the tetrabutylammonium cation in the electrolyte on the performance of a black dye-based dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) have been investigated. The conversion efficiency of the cosensitized DSC with black dye and D131 was improved to 11.8% by using an electrolyte containing three kinds of cations.
