A guide to one of the most important aspects for affordable and highly efficient dye-sensitized
solar cells Dye-sensitized solar cells have the potential to be one of the most promising
photovoltaic technologies for production of renewable and clean energy. Counter Electrodes for
Dye-Sensitized and Perovskite Solar Cells offers an introduction to the various types of
counter electrode catalysts for dye-sensitized solar cells and perovskite solar cells
including metal and metal compounds carbon materials polymers and composites. With
contributions from an international panel of experts the book contains a discussion of the
design and synthesis of the catalysts characterization and stability of the devices as well
as calculations on properties. The contributors cover a wide range of topics including
information on: carbon nanotubes electrocatalysts for I-mediated dye-sensitized solar cells
Pt-loaded composite electrocatalysts for I-mediated dye-sensitized solar cells metal contact
electrodes for perovskite solar cells and much more. The book also includes insight into the
future developments in the field. This important resource -Covers the various types of counter
