Abstract

The solid polymer electrolytes consisting of a combination of polyvinyl alcohol, Pluronic F-127 polymer, potassium iodide, and iodine (PVA + F-127–KI + I₂) were investigated in this work. At 0.54 wt%, the PVA-based polymer electrolyte attained the best room temperature (298 K) conductivity of ∼ 8.2891 x 10^-4 mS/cm. The electrolyte's conductivity demonstrated a temperature dependence by the Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher (VTF) relationship. PVA concentration was shown a significant impact on the electrical conductivity of electrolytes. The prepared PVA-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) were employed to fabricate perovskite-sensitized solar cells which possessed the highest efficiency of ∼ 4.14 % with an electrolyte containing 5 wt% KI.
