Abstract:

Mesoporous TiO2/SWCNTs thin films were successfully prepared through electrophoretic deposition method on FTO/meso-TiO2 substrate. The products were characterized by Raman and SEM. The results reveal that SWCNTs are successfully deposited on the surface of mesoporous TiO2 thin film. The dye-sensitized solar cells are assembled with the films and they are sensitized by TCPP and N719, respectively. The results show that they exhibite enhanced power conversion efficiency. This maybe attribute to the compact contact of mesoprous TiO2 and SWCNTs in favor of the transportation of photogenerating electrons.
