The new benzimidazolium derivative (SM-1) salt with ion exchange from the (SM-0)was fabricated and characterized by protonnuclear magnetic resonance (1 H-NMR), carbon-nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), electrospray ionization (EIS-MS), thermal analysis (TG), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), for electrolytes (liquid or dried) in the DSSC charge transportation mechanism. Also, the influence of ion exchange from chloride to iodine in the synthesized electrolytes, compared to other electrolytes (conventional or commercial), was investigated about DSSC performance efficiency. | Turkish Journal of Chemistry Turk J Chem 2021 45 333-341 http chem TÜBİTAK Research Article doi kim-2006-25 Efficiency enhancement with chloride to iodide ion exchange of benzimidazolium salt as a redox mediator 1 2 2 3 Serkan DAYAN Mert Olgun KARATAŞ Bülent ALICI Nilgün KALAYCIOĞLU ÖZPOZAN 1 Drug Application and Research Center Erciyes University Kayseri Turkey 2 Department of Chemistry Faculty of Science İnönü University Malatya Turkey 3 Department of Chemistry Faculty of Science Erciyes University Kayseri Turkey Received Accepted Published Online Final Version Abstract The new benzimidazolium derivative SM-1 salt with ion exchange from the SM-0 was fabricated and characterized by proton- nuclear magnetic resonance 1H-NMR carbon-nuclear magnetic resonance 13C-NMR Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy FT- IR electrospray ionization EIS-MS thermal analysis TG cyclic voltammetry CV and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy UV-vis for electrolytes liquid or dried in the DSSC charge transportation mechanism. Also the influence of ion exchange from chloride to iodine in the synthesized electrolytes compared to other electrolytes conventional or commercial was investigated about DSSC performance efficiency. When using as a liquid electrolyte SM-1 the power conversion efficiency ƞ of the working DSSC device was recorded as and it was observed that the performances of DSSCs increased up to 56 when comparing dried electrolyte for SM-1 without conventional redox material I I3 . In the future different molecular modifications of this type of benzimidazole derivatives or mixtures with conventional redox couples may further improve the performance of DSSC devices.
