| Research Abstract |
In this study, a carbon nanoparticle with nanoshell-like structure and a ClO_4^-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) supported carbon particle (PEDOT-ClO_4^-/C) composite film electrode were prepared on transparent conductive oxide glass to improve the performance of carbon-based counter electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). As a result, a DSSC with a PEDOT-ClO_4^-/C composite film counter electrode had a significantly improved fill factor and photovoltaic conversion efficiency, compared to a cell based on a simple carbon particle film electrode.
