چکیده
|
The influence of the incorporation of nitric acid-treated (functionalized) multi-walled carbon nanotubes (f-mwcnts) and unmodified mwcnts in tio2 films are investigated by observing the photocurrent-voltage characteristics of dye-sensitized solar cells (dsscs) with and without mwcnts. the short-circuit photocurrent (jsc) of the modified dssc increased by 46% compared with that of a cell with plain tio2 film. the open-circuit voltage remained the same for all cases. the enhanced jsc is explained by the increased surface area of the film, enhanced cluster formation of tio2 particles around f-mwcnts, and improved interconnectivity of tio2 particles in the presence of f-mwcnts. the efficiency of the cell increased by 45% due to jsc enhancement.
