3D Wire‐Shaped Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells in Solid State Using Carbon Nanotube Yarns with Hybrid Photovoltaic Structure

Abstract

A novel 3D solid-state wire-shaped dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) with a hybrid photovoltaic (PV) structure is demonstrated. Carbon nanotube yarn provides excellent interfacial and electrocatalytic properties. The quantum dots (QDs) have been applied due to their high photon absorption coefficient. Finally, the cell shows an outstanding operational flexibility with an efficient photovoltaic efficiency (7.39%).
