I have prepared N3, N719 dye contain TiO2 photoanode for dye sensitized solar cells and measured the photocurrent with Iodolyte Z-50 as an electrolyte. I need to measure the cyclic voltammetry of the same solar cells. How can I prepare the 0.01 M acetonitrile solution of Iodolyte Z-50 electrolyte for the cyclic voltammetry test. I will use Pt coated FTO counter electrode, Dye loaded TiO2 coated FTO working electrode, and Ag/AgCl as a reference electrode. Appreciate for your answer.
Good day!

Also, this electrolyte is commercially available (however, as solution in 3-methoxypropilonitrile), and producent is quite straightforward about its composition - ionic liquid, alkylbenzimidazole, and thiocyanate as an additives.
