From the last several decades, in the area of energy storage like batteries, electrochemical supercapacitors and dye-sensitized solar cells etc. electrolytes are playing an important role. Electrolytes are able to overcome the concern related to existing conventional energy storage devices. Selection of better electrolyte is a very important and wise task. It is challenging work to develop very suitable and sophisticated electrolytes for energy storage devices. Currently, many researchers are working to meet the above challenges for better outcomes so that a suitable electrolytes can be developed for energy storage devices. It is not surprising that energy storage has long been mentioned as the most important part of energy technologies. This review paper will be focused on the past achievement in the field of electrolyte and their development up to recent ionogel electrolytes. Further future direction for required properties and applications of ionogel electrolytes have been highlighted.

Sensitized Solar Cells

Graphite with a single atomic layer known as graphene shows great capability in energy conversion and storage devices. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have attracted intense interests due to offering high photo-to-electric conversion efficiencies. DSSCs are built from a photoelectrode (a dye-sensitized nanocrystalline semiconductor), an electrolyte with redox couples, and a counterelectrode. In this review article, we outline the strategies to enhance the efficiency and reduce the cost by introducing graphene into the DSSCs as the photoelectrode. First, the development of DSSCs and the properties of graphene are briefly described. Then, the applications of graphene-based materials for photoelectrodes (transparent electrode, semiconductor layer, and dye sensitizer) in DSSCs are deeply discussed. Finally, an outlook for graphene materials in DSSCs is provided.
