摘要
Titanium dioxide-double-walled carbon nano- tubes (TiO2-DWCNTs) with DWCNTs/TiO2 of 20 wt.% is prepared by a conventional sol-gel method. Doping the TiO2-DWCNTs in TiO2 photoanode, a flexible dye- sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is fabricated. The sample is characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) absorption, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV- vis) absorption spectra , electrochemical impedance spec- troscopy (EIS) technique and photovoltaic measurement. It is found that adding a certain amount of TiO2-DWCNTs can efficiently decrease the resistance of charge transport, improve dye adsorption. Under an optimal condition, a flexible DSSC contained with 0.50 wt.% TiOz-DWCNTs achieves a light-to-electric energy conversion efficiency of 3.89% under a simulate solar light irradiation of 100 mW. cm^2.
