<p>PURPOSE: Electrolyte composition, a photosensitized solar cell using electrolyte composition, and a method of manufacturing photosensitized solar cel are provided to improve energy conversion efficiency of a solar battery, and to obtain high energy conversion efficiency when the solar battery is used in the environment of higher temperatures. CONSTITUTION: The electrolyte composition comprises an electrolyte containing at least one kind of an imidazolium salt selected from the group consisting of 1-methyl-3-propyl imidazolium iodide given by formula(1) below, 1-methyl-3-isopropyl imidazolium iodide, 1-methyl-3-butyl imidazolium iodide, 1-methyl-3-isobutyl imidazolium iodide and 1-methyl-3-sec-butyl imidazolium iodide; a halogen-containing compound dissolved in the electrolyte; and a compound dissolved in the electrolyte and containing at least one element A selected from the group consisting of N, P and S, the compound being capable of forming an onium salt together with the halogen-containing compound. Incidentally, the electrolyte is in the form of a liquid.</p> |
