The influence of N-methylimidazole, benzimidazole, 4-tert-butylpyrdine and 3-ethyl-1-methyl-limidazoliumtrifluoroacetate (EMITA) on apparent diffusion coefficients of I-3 and I- in the electrolyte and the Pt counter electrode electrolyte interface was investigated by ultramicroelectrode and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The apparent diffusion coefficient of I-3 in the electrolyte decreased and charge transfer resistance at the Pt counter electrode electrolyte interface increased after the additives were added. The resistance of electrolytes decreased after addition of EMITA. A comparison of the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) containing the additives was undertaken. The additive EMITA increased the open voltage and the fill factor, and the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells was up to 5.72%.
