Seasoning effect of dye-sensitized solar cells with different counter electrodes

Time dependent characteristics of the dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) having different counter electrodes were studied. For this study, three different types of counter electrodes CNT, sputtered platinum and electroplated platinum were used. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to study the aging effect of three counter electrode through measuring electrochemical properties of counter electrode/electrolyte interface as a function of time.
