Enhancing the conductivity of polymer electrolytes in DSSC has evolved as an important strategy to enhance the efficiency of the DSSC. In this context, we have synthesized a range of graphene based derivatives which when incorporated into a polymer electrolyte enhances the ionic conductivity of PEO/PVDF-HFP polymer electrolyte by 30 times reaching a maximum value of 3.07 x 10(-4) S/cm. Devices fabricated from these modified solid state electrolyte exhibited a photo-conversion efficiency of upto 4.24% which is comparable to the efficiency magnitude observed in liquid electrolyte based DSSC fabricated under similar condition at our laboratory. Detailed structural, microscopic and morphological characterization attributed this enhancement in the electrochemical performance to a combination of factors such as reduced crystallinity of the polymer electrolyte membrane, development of smooth non-porous structure and increased chemical interaction between the lamellar structure.
