We report the preparation and application of a 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium sulfide-based ionic liquid electrolyte for quantum-dot-sensitized solar cells. By optimizing the concentrations of S and Na₂S, a considerable conductivity of 12.96 mS·cm^-1 is achieved at 25℃. Differential scanning calorimetry indicates that the glass transition temperature of the electrolyte is-85℃. The quantum-dot-sensitized solar cell assembled with this ionic liquid electrolyte displays a high energy conversion efficiency (η) of 3.03% at 25℃, which is comparable to the efficiency of quantum-dot-sensitized solar cells using a water-based polysulfide electrolyte (η= 3.34%). Due to the favorable thermal properties of this ionic liquid electrolyte (lower glass transition temperature and nonvolatility at higher temperatures), the quantum-dot-sensitized solar cell maintains satisfactory η even at-20℃ (η= 2.32%) and 80℃ (η= 1.90%), which is superior to the cell using the water-based polysulfide electrolyte.
