摘要：

Spray coated multi-wall carbon nanotube (CNT) film on fluorine-doped tin oxide glass substrate has been investigated as a counter electrode for tri-iodide reduction in dye-sensitized solar cells. The photovoltaic parameters, in particular, the fill factor shows a strong dependency on the spraying time of multi-wall CNTs. Under one sun illumination (100 mW cm(-2), AM 1.5 G), the device shows a maximum energy conversion efficiency of 7.59%. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis reveals a decrease in the charge transfer resistance of multi-wall CNT counter electrode with increase of spraying time; leads to an improvement in the photovoltaic parameters.
