title: A composite catalyst of reduced black TiO2-x/CNT: a highly efficient counter electrode for ZnO-based dye-sensitized solar cells.
abstract: A composite catalyst (reduced black TiO2-x/carbon nanotube) was synthesized through a simple sol-gel method and applied as a counter electrode (CE) in ZnO-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). This material demonstrated notable electrocatalytic activity for I3(-) reduction, and the resultant DSSCs achieved a PCE of 5.71%.
