Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotube-based bilayer thin film as transparent counter electrode for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs)

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely considered as one of the promising candidates for replacing fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)/platinum (Pt) electrodes to reduce the fabrication cost of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Here, we report that a bilayer transparent film containing N-doped CNTs (...
