Low conductivity of gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) containing double iodide salts is critical for efficiency in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The presence of diethyl carbonate (DEC) plasticizer affects the amorphousness and ionic conductivity of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based GPEs and DSSCs pe...
