Abstract

Polypyrrole (PPy) nanoparticles were synthesized and mixed with graphite to fabricate PPy/graphite composite counter electrode for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The SEM investigation showed that PPy with porous and particle diameter in 80～100 nm is covered on the ITO glass. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) analysis of the PPy electrode exhibited favorable catalytic activity for I₂/I^－ redox reaction. The charge-transfer resistance (R_ct) of PPy electrode decreased after the addition of graphite. Overall energy conversion efficiency of the DSSCs based on the ruthenium dye (N719) with PPy/graphite composite counter electrode reached 6.01% under simulated AM 1.5 irradiation (100 mW/cm²) , which was 92% of the energy conversion efficiency of the DSSCs with Pt electrode.

Key words: dye sensitized solar cells, counter electrode, polypyrrole, graphite
