Abstract
Abstract A new ionic liquid (1, 3-dihexyl-2-(phenylthio)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium iodide) was synthesized, characterized (experimentally and theoretically) and used as an electrolyte for dye-sensitized solar cells generating short-circuit photocurrent density ( J SC ) of 4 mA and open circuit photovoltage ( V OC ) of 0.414 V under AM 1.5 solar light.
