Comparative Study of Platinum/Single Wall Carbon Nanotube versus Platinum/Carbon Black Coating

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study of platinum/carbon black (Pt/CB) versus platinum/single wall carbon nanotubes (Pt/SWCNT) and drying temperature on the result products were investigated. The synthesized of Pt/CB versus Pt/SWCNT were used for coating on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) conductive glasses and tested for electrical conductivity properties used for counter electrode in a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC).The result products were characterized in term of chemical composition and microstructure by scanning electron microscope technique (SEM), EDX (JEOL,JSM 5800 LV) and TEM analyses.
