N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediaminium iodides (HEEDAIs) and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazinium iodides (HEPIs) were synthe- sized, and their thermal properties were analysed. The influence of HEEDAI and HEPI on I3 −/ I− redox behavior in binary ionic liquid was investigated. The result revealed that HEEDAI can suppress the recombination between I3 − and the injected electrons in TiO2 conduction band and be used as the alternative of 4-tert-butylpyridine in the electrolyte of dye-sensitized solar cells. The electrolyte C, 0.15 mol ·L−1 I , HEEDAI and MPII with mass ratio of 1 : 4, gave the short-circuit photocurrent density of 2 9.36 mA ·cm−2 , open-circuit photovoltage of 0.67 V, fill factor of 0.52, and the correspo
