Fabrication of screen-printing pastes of carbon powders for dye-sensitized solar cells

A preparation technique of screen-printing pastes of carbon has been disclosed in order to fabricate nanocrystalline layers without cracking and pealing-off over 6.8-μm thickness for the counter electrodes of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). A well blended mixture of powdered activated carbon, na...
