Volume 5, Issue 4 , April 2014, Pages 180-183

https://doi.org/10.5185/amlett.2013.8527

Abstract
  The present paper describes the scheme used to fabricate completely sealed dye sensitized solar cell (DSC) and its stability analysis employing acetonitrile as the solvent for redox couple. Since acetonitrile is extremely volatile a perfect sealing is essential to prevent the leakage of electrolyte. ...  Read More
