The space between electrodes in Dye Solar Cells is filled with an electrolyte. Our Iodolyte products are a range of ready-to-use electrolytes for this application. Their composition is based on the iodide/tri-iodide redox couple, which has been proven to perform the best in Dye Solar Cells. The composition of all Iodolyte electrolytes were carefully developed with state-of-the-art additives to ensure excellent Dye Solar Cell performance and durability.
What's more, the Iodolyte products are fully compatible with our Meltonix sealing films. These hot melt films provide a discrete confinement of the electrolyte between glass electrodes.
