Abstract

Two new alkylpyrrolidiniumtriethoxysilyl iodides have been developed as iodide sources for DSSCs; the compound with an undecyl spacer between the siloxane and the pyrrolidinium moieties furnished higher open circuit voltages than the propyl analogue and higher efficiencies at low light intensity.
