1-Methyl-3-propylimidazolium iodide (MPII) ionic liquid incorporated gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) has successfully enhanced the efficiency of a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). A series of gel polymer electrolytes containing different amounts of MPII were prepared and characterized. A maximum ioni...
