From crab shell to solar cell: a gel polymer electrolyte based on N-phthaloylchitosan and its application in dye-sensitized solar cells

Chitosan, a biopolymer derived from crab shells which is insoluble in common organic solvents has been converted to the organosoluble N-phthaloylchitosan (PhCh) by reaction with phthalic anhydride in dimethylformamide (DMF). The formation and structure of PhCh was confirmed by the characteristic pea...
