Using poly(acrylic acid)‐poly(ethylene glycol) hybrid‐absorbing liquid electrolyte , we prepare a novel thermosetting gel electrolyte (TSGE) with ionic conductivity of 6.12 mS cm –1 . Based on the TSGE, a quasi‐solid‐state dye‐sensitized solar cell with a good long‐term stability and light‐to‐electricity conversion efficiency of 6.10 % is attained under AM 1.5 irradiation.
