| Popis: | We designed and fabricated high efficiency solid state dye sensitized solar cells based on vertical ZnO nanowire arrays by utilizing a mixture paste of LiI, PMII and solid iodine as electrolyte. Poly thiophene -single wall carbon nanotube (PT-SWNT) composites were synthesized on FTO glass by in situ polymerization and employed as counter electrode to replace the conventionally used expensive Pt electrode. The initial results showed the power conversion efficiency of 2.87 % from the device with PPy-SWNT composite coated on FTO glass as counter electrode. |
