We studied the performance and stability of DSSCs with the electrolyte solution which gelated with a low-molecular
gelling agent. Maximum power, short circuit current and open circuit voltage decreased as the gelling agent concentration
in electrolyte was increased. However, there was no drastic difference between the performance of DSSCs with gel and
sol state electrolytes. In addition, the performance of a DSSC with gel solution was kept for a long time at low temperature.
It is supposed that leakage and volatilization can be prevented by adding small amount of low molecular gelling agent
without decreasing the performance of the DSSC.
