  • Abstract
    سلول هاي خورشيدي حساس به رنگ جايگزين هاي بسيار مناسبي براي سلول هاي گرانقيمت بر پايه سيليكون مي باشند. به صورت كلي، الكترود مخالف در اين سلول هاي خورشيدي، پلاتين نشانده شده بر روي شيشه FTO مي باشد. به دليل گراني و عدم دسترس پذيري پلاتين از نانوساختارهاي كربني به عنوان الكترود مخالف استفاده مي شود. نانولوله هاي كربني به دليل دسترس پذيري، دوستدار محيط زيست بودن، مقاومت در برابر خوردگي و فعاليت كاتاليستي مناسب، گزينه ي بسيار مناسبي براي جايگزيني پلاتين مي باشد.
  • Abstract
    Dye-sensitized solar cells present promising low-cost alternatives to the conventional Silicon (Si)-based solar cells. The counter electrode generally consists of Pt deposited onto FTO plate. Since Pt is rare and expensive metal, nanostructured carbonaceous materials have been widely investigated as a promising alternative to replace it. Carbon nanotubes have shown significant properties such as cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, availability, corrosion resistance and excellent catalytic activity towards the redox species make them ideal for replacing Pt in the CEs of DSCs. The review presented below gives a succinct summary of the Carbon nanotubes materials in use as counter electrode in dye-sensitized solar cells .
