Quasi-solid state dye-sensitized solar cells have been constructed using nanocrystalline titania, a Ureasilbased nanocomposite gel electrolyte and polypyrrole-functionalized counter electrode. Polypyrrole was synthesized by potentiostatic electrodeposition using pyrrole monomer as precursor by a sim

This study demonstrates platinum (Pt) counter electrodes with low charge-transfer resistance (R ct ), low Pt loading and high active surface area can be obtained within 30 s by using the direct-current deposition in the presence of 3-(2-aminoethylamino)propyl-methyldimethoxysilane (Me-EDA-Si) as an
Ferrocene-derivatized large pore size mesocellular carbon foam (Fe-MCF-C) has been synthesized using divinylbenzene as a carbon source and mesocellular silica foam as a hard template. Cyclic voltammetric studies demonstrate a relatively faster electron transfer rate of Fe-MCF-C in K 3 Fe(CN) 6 /1 M
The low-temperature fabrication of a counter electrode (CE) with low cost and high catalytic activity is one of the key steps for the practical realization of flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Electrophoretic deposition is found to be an efficient method for room-temperature deposition of
