Abstract EN
Highly efficient, large mesoporous carbon is fabricated as a metal-free counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells.
The mesoporous carbon shows very high energy conversion efficiency of 7.1% compared with activated carbon.
The mesoporous carbon is prepared and characterized by nitrogen adsorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
The nitrogen adsorption data reveals that the material possesses BET specific surface area ca.1300 m2/g and pore diameter 4.4 nm.
Hexagonal rod-like morphology and ordered pore structure of mesoporous carbon are confirmed by electron microscopy data.
The better performance of this carbon material is greatly benefited from its ordered interconnected mesoporous structure and high surface area.
