摘要
New initiatives are needed to harvest solar light energy with greater efficiency. Carbon nanotubes have emerged as new architectures for designing light-harvesting assemblies. Ways to utilize carbon nanotube assemblies as photoresponsive electrode materials and their role in the conversion of light energy into electricity are discussed.
