Conductive Polymer-based Mesoscopic Counterelectrodes for Plastic Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

Abstract
Semitransparent mesoporous counterelectrode was prepared on a plastic substrate by low-temperature coating of a viscous composite comprising nanocrystalline TiO2 particles and PEDOT–PSS. The electrode shows high cathodic activity in a full-plastic dye-sensitized solar cell, yielding energy conversion efficiency of 4.38%.
