The present invention relates to a facilitated transport membrane for separation of alkene hydrocarbons from hydrocarbon mixtures, comprising a porous support and a solid polymer electrolyte consisting of a transition metal salt and a polymer having phthalic structure, in which the electrolyte is in solid state at its operating temperature. The facilitated transport membrane is prepared by forming a solid polymer electrolyte consisting of a transition metal salt and a polymer on a porous support. The transition metal salt can selectively and reversibly form a complex with alkene hydrocarbons and the polymer can dissociate the transition metal salt. In particular, the polymer matrix allows the transition metal salt to be well dissociated because it has a phthalic structure capable of being coordinated to a transition metal ion.

Disclosed is a solid state dye-sensitized solar cell employing a composite polymer electrolyte, which includes a photoelectrode, a counter electrode, and an electrolyte interposed between the photoelectrode and counter electrode. The electrolyte includes at least one of a middle molecular substance, a polymer mixture, and inorganic nanoparticles, and a redox derivative. The dye-sensitized solar cell reduces crystallinity of the polymer electrolyte to significantly increase ionic conductivity, and enables the polymer electrolyte to smoothly permeate into a titanium oxide layer to improve mechanical properties, thereby significantly increasing energy conversion efficiency. Accordingly, the dye-sensitized solar cell assures high energy conversion efficiency without an electrolyte leak, and thus, it can be stably and practically used for a long time.

An asymmetric support membrane can be prepared by using a phase separation method. The method includes immersing a polymer solvent solution into water. The polymer solution is made by dissolving 15 to 35% by weight of the polymer into a solvent that lets the polymer solution become a gel at a temperature of 0 to 50° C. The solution is then allowed to gel and brought into a final membrane form in water for phase separation and formation of the asymmetric support membrane. The polymer may be poly(vinyl chloride), polyethersulfone, polyetherimide and polyamic(methylester). The solvent is &ggr;-butyrolactone alone as a major solvent or is a mixed solvent with N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as a cosolvent. The asymmetric support membrane is a porous support membrane of a sponge form having open pores that are connected to one another with a narrow pore size distribution. Thus, the asymmetric support membrane has an improved permeance and mechanical strength. Further, because it has a narrow pore size distribution, a coating process can be optimized with a material having high selectivity. Therefore, the composite membranes having improved selectivity can be easily produced by the present invention.
