Abstract: Dye-sensitized solar cells(DSCs), as a new innovative technology, are on-going to commercial and industrial production since the pioneer work by Prof. M. Grtzel in EPFL. We here investigated the temperature dependence of DSC modulus performance with different solvents in the electrolyte. The DSC modulus was assembled according to the way of future industrial production, with the size of 15 cm×20 cm, and the active area is ratio 65%. Temperature range from -40 to 60 ℃ was tested in this paper. The different solvents in the electrolyte, including acetonitrile(ACN), valeronitrile(VN), 3-methoxypropionitrile(MPN) and its mixture solution in the electrolyte, were also investigated in this paper.
