Abstract. The counter electrode using Carbon nanotubes (CNT) has been successfully fabricated using doctor blade method and their performance was investigated. The results suggest that the CNT counter electrode has potential as an alternative to the free Pt counter electrode for DSSC. The CNT powder, which was prepared using the spray pyrolysis method as previously reported by Subagio et al., was used as the counter electrode layer material.
After drying at 80oC for 5 minutes, the CNT counter electrode was annealed at 450oC for 1 hour. The active area of the working electrode and the counter electrode was determined to be 1 x 1 cm 2 . The density of the CNT was increased because there is more CNT in the binder, which favors the electron transfer from the counter electrode to the electrolyte interface [21]. The one-dimensional structure of the CNTs helps them to make good electrical conductivity [22]. ,23].
However, given the low cost and high electrocatalytic activity of the CNT counter electrode, it should be a competitive alternative to the Pt-free counter electrode for DSSC. 34;A MoS2/graphene flake catalytic composite film as a counter electrode for Pt-free, dye-sensitive solar cells", Electrochimica Acta, 2012. 34;Carbonaceous materials and their progress as a counter-electrode in dye-sensitive solar cells: challenges En.

The counter electrode using Carbon nanotubes (CNT) has been successfully fabricated using doctor blade method and their performance was investigated. We found that increasing mass of the CNT powder in the binder increases the electrocatalytic activity, which is beneficial to the conversion efficiency of the Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC).
