Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) are more preferable than liquid electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) due to several advantages. However, GPEs have poor ionic conductivity which renders the low efficiency of DSSCs. GPE systems based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as host polymer, sodium...
