Hyperbranched poly(aryl-ether-urethane) is reported in this work as an efficient polymer electrolyte for photovoltaic application. Along with KI and I2 as redox carriers in nanocrystalline dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC), this polymer yielded an overall conversion efficiency of 4.1%, upon illumination with visible light. The fabricated cell results in stable device performing under thermal stress maintaining about 70% of its initial value for 2 days in the direct atmosphere without sealing.
