摘要: Carbon nanotube (CNT) films have been used as counter electrodes in natural dye-sensitized (anthocyanin-sensitized) solar cells to improve the cell performance. Compared with conventional using dye electrolytes and platinum electrodes, a single-walled (SWNT) film electrode show comparable conversion efficiency, which is attributed increase short circuit current density due high conductivity of SWNT film.
