Especially for future applications of textile-based DSSCs, which require cost-effective and environmentally friendly materials, such an improvement of the electrolyte is necessary. Therefore, the temporal progressions of efficiencies and fill factors of non-toxic glass-based DSSCs resulting from different gel electrolytes with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) are investigated over 52 days comparatively. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) proved to be a suitable non-toxic solvent for the proposed gel electrolyte without ionic liquids. A PEO concentration of 17.4 wt% resulted in an optimal compromise with a relatively high efficiency over the entire period. Lower concentrations resulted in higher efficiencies during the first days but in a poorer long-term stability, whereas a higher PEO concentration resulted in an overall lower efficiency. Solvent remaining in the gel electrolyte during application was found advantageous compared to previous solvent evaporation. In contrast to a commercial liquid electrolyte, the long-term stability regarding the efficiency was improved successfully with a similar fill factor and thus equal quality.\r\n                "}],"title":"Long-Term Stability Improvement of Non-Toxic Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells via Poly(ethylene oxide) Gel Electrolytes for Future Textile-Based Solar Cells","date_created":"2021-05-31T18:59:14Z","publication_status":"published","_id":"1083","article_number":"3035","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2073-4360"]},"author":[{"id":"221157","orcid":"0000-0002-6841-8791","last_name":"Storck","first_name":"Jan Lukas","full_name":"Storck, Jan Lukas","orcid_put_code_url":"https://api.orcid.org/v2.0/0000-0002-6841-8791/work/95037562"},{"last_name":"Dotter","full_name":"Dotter, Marius","orcid_put_code_url":"https://api.orcid.org/v2.0/0000-0001-8398-1809/work/95141270","first_name":"Marius","orcid":"0000-0001-8398-1809","id":"242889"},{"last_name":"Adabra","full_name":"Adabra, Sonia","first_name":"Sonia"},{"last_name":"Surjawidjaja","first_name":"Michelle","full_name":"Surjawidjaja, Michelle"},{"full_name":"Brockhagen, Bennet","first_name":"Bennet","last_name":"Brockhagen","id":"237316"},{"id":"221330","orcid":"0000-0002-9099-4277","last_name":"Grothe","first_name":"Timo","orcid_put_code_url":"https://api.orcid.org/v2.0/0000-0002-9099-4277/work/94758793","full_name":"Grothe, Timo"}],"citation":{"alphadin":"<span style=\"font-variant:small-caps;\">Storck, Jan Lukas</span> ; <span style=\"font-variant:small-caps;\">Dotter, Marius</span> ; <span style=\"font-variant:small-caps;\">Adabra, Sonia</span> ; <span style=\"font-variant:small-caps;\">Surjawidjaja, Michelle</span> ; <span style=\"font-variant:small-caps;\">Brockhagen, Bennet</span> ; <span style=\"font-variant:small-caps;\">Grothe, Timo</span>: Long-Term Stability Improvement of Non-Toxic Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells via Poly(ethylene oxide) Gel Electrolytes for Future Textile-Based Solar Cells.
