Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For the improvement of dye-sensitised solar cell, it is important to develop advantageous electrolyte transporting I/I3 redox couples. In the present study, we aim to construct I/I3 redox couple conductive interface by using gyroid minimal surface. As base materials, ionic liquids were employed. We newly designed various ionic liquids having self-assembling ability and examined the relationships between the molecular structure and molecular-assembled structures. Through these investigation, we have succeeded in development of bicontinuous cubic liquid crystalline materials forming ionic gyroid minimal surface and have found out that these surface is effective for ion transportation.
