Carbon nanotubes are one of the materials that can replace platinum as DSSC’s counter electrode. By utilizing carbon nanotubes (CNT), which is an organic material in place of platinum it is possible to create an inexpensive solar cell. However, there are still many problems with CNT such as low conversion compared with platinum and fast degradation in CNT. At the present time, it is to be large surface area when we fabricate CNT electrode sintered at 500°C with Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD). We measured how conversion efficiency changed by changing sintering temperatures. As a result, when CNT electrode sintered at 500°C, conversion efficiency was the highest and it was 2.46%.

Sensitized Solar Cells

A novel strategy of fast solvent induced assembly is used to synthesize a three-dimensional (3D) nanocomposite of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and TiO2, as the counter electrode (CE) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
