A polymer electrolyte composition for a dye-sensitized solar cell, a
polymer electrolyte, a dye-sensitized solar cell employing the polymer
electrolyte, and a method for preparing the same. The polymer electrolyte
composition for a dye-sensitized solar cell includes: a mono-functional
or multi-functional monomer having at least one ethylene glycol in a side
chain; a photoinitiator; a lithium salt; and an organic solvent. The
polymer electrolyte suppresses the volatilization of a redox electrolyte
and provides stable photoelectrochemical properties against environmental
changes, such as a rise in the external temperature of a solar cell. The
dye-sensitized solar cell includes: first and second electrodes facing
each other; a dye-adsorbed porous film interposed between the first and
second electrodes; and the polymer electrolyte interposed between the
first and second electrodes. The dye-sensitized solar cell has a high
voltage and high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
