Characteristics and Analyses of Various Counter Electrodes Applied in Quasi-Solid Electrolyte Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

A carbon-based counter electrode applied in quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized cell was demonstrated. For comparison, gel/quasi-solid-state dye-sensitized cells with a platinum-based counter electrode were also investigated. Performances and electrochemical properties of solar cells were evaluated by using a solar cell measurement system and an electrochemical impendences spectrometer. As the result...
