Abstract
Fast charge transport based on the exchange reaction of an I−/I3 − redox couple, which has been observed in ionic liquids due to their high ionic strength but not in molecular liquids, contributes to the high performance of dye-sensitized solar cells using the ionic liquids in spite of their high viscosity.Keywords
