Abstract Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is one of the third generation solar cells converting solar light into electricity that attracted a remarkable research interest globally due to their simple device fabrication processes in ambient conditions and reasonable cell efficiency for commercialization; moreover, the advantages on colorfulness, possible plasticity, and high conversion efficiencies under indoor illumination also render DSSC to play a crucial role in energy-harvesting systems for green buildings. To eliminate the electrolyte leakage issues in traditional DSSCs (i.e., cells with organic solvent-based electrolytes), new class of ionic liquids, namely poly(ionic liquid)s, are recently investigated and used as the quasi/all–solid state electrolyte to improve the cell durability. Herein, we give a short review on the poly(ionic liquid)s to be used as the quasi/all–solid state electrolytes in DSSCs. Finally, the future perspectives for the development of poly(ionic liquid)s for DSSCs are also briefly discussed.

用于染料敏化太阳能电池的聚（离子液体）：小型综述

摘要 染料敏化太阳能电池（DSSC）是第三代太阳能电池之一，由于其在环境条件下的简单器件制造工艺和合理的商业化电池效率，在全球引起了极大的研究兴趣。此外，室内照明下的色彩丰富、可能的可塑性和高转换效率的优势也使 DSSC 在绿色建筑的能量收集系统中发挥着至关重要的作用。为了消除传统 DSSC（即具有有机溶剂型电解质的电池）中的电解质泄漏问题，最近研究了一类新型离子液体，即聚（离子液体），并将其用作准/全固态电解质以提高电池的耐久性。在此处，我们简要回顾了在 DSSC 中用作准/全固态电解质的聚（离子液体）。最后，还简要讨论了开发用于 DSSC 的聚（离子液体）的未来前景。
