摘要

Graphene (G) and carbon nanotube (CNTs)have been widely used as counter electrode (CE)materials in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), due to their outstanding mechanical properties, high surface area, superior electrocatalytic and excellent conductivity.In this chapter,we described a method to use graphene oxide (GO) as a "surfactant" to synthesize 2D-CNT/G-films without adding any traditional surfactants. DSSCs assembled using 2D-CNT/G-films as a CE deliver a power conversion efficiency up to 5.29%, which reaches 68.70% of that of cells prepared using a platinum film CE (7.70%). Further,3D-CNTs/Gaerogel was synthesized and used as an alternative to platinized FTO in DSSCs. An island-like 3D-structure formed on the FTO using the spin-coating method. The 3D-CNTs/G-based CEs exhibited excellent power conversion efficiency (PCE) (8.31%) compared to Pt (7.56%). The excellent performance of DSSCs can be attributed to the high electrical conductivity and good electrocatalytic activity induced by the CNTs and the excellent catalytic properties of G, coupled with the 3D-structure with a larger surface area and good surface hydrophilicity for increased electrolyte-electrode interactions and electrolyte/reactant diffusion. Hence,our results demonstrate that optimizing the structure of CNTs/Gcomposite can effectively improve the performance of DSSCs, and the 3D-structure design manifest considerable potential for DSSC-related applications.
