  ABSTRACT: Evidence for the long period of a sustainable function of a thermoplastic gel electrolyte (TPGE) consists of polyethylene glycol (PEG)/I2/I- in propylene carbonate (PC) was recorded. The studied photoactive assembly consists of PBTH/FTO/TPGE I2/I-/Platinized FTO. The study showed that the assembly regenerates the expected photoelectrochemical (PEC) quantities such as photocurrent, and other dielectric properties with infrequent use through an elapsed period of 18 months. The behavior of PBTh/occluded with CdS was mentored during this period and showed a similar result. PEC studies indicated the presence of p-p type hole accumulations interface, evident from the initial sharp rise in photocurrent. The change of open circuit potential (dVoc) indicates that the shortest electron lifetime is 100 ms. The behavioral outcome of the assemblies within the period of study refracts stability of the electrode and the long life cycle of the electrolyte.
