“…All samples exhibited the presence of carbonyl, hydroxyl, or epoxy groups that inevitably bonded on the graphene surface prepared through chemical redox processing. [22][23][24] Such presence was observed from the Fourier tranform infrared spectra of the graphene films after CA testing, as shown in Fig. 3.…”

“…Recently, FcMeOH has also been utilized to modify CNTs electrodes in the field of molecular memory 46 and as a mediator to improve electron transfer, for example, in detection assays of glucose, 47,48 ascorbic acid 49 and lipid hydroperoxides, 50 and to explore Ag + toxicity on single living fibroblast cells. 51 However, FcMeOH has been scarcely studied by spectroelectrochemistry 52,53 and never by BSEC. This redox couple can be used as a probe not only in electrochemistry, but also in spectroelectrochemistry.…”

ABSTRACT:A really easy method to transfer commercial single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to different substrates is proposed. In this paper, a homogeneous transference of SWCNTs films to non-conductor and transparent supports such as polyethylene terephthalate, glass and quartz, and to conductor supports such as indium tin oxide, aluminium, highly ordered pyrolytic graphite and glassy carbon was achieved using a very fast, reproducible and clean methodology. In order to test these transferences, SWCNTs films transferred on quartz were used as working optically UV-Vis transparent electrodes due to their optimal electrical and optical properties. A new easy-to-use, homemade optical fiber based cell for bidimensional spectroelectrochemistry was developed, offering the possibility to measure in normal and parallel configuration. The cell was tested with ferrocenemethanol, a compound widely used in electrochemistry but scarcely studied by spectroelectrochemistry, covering the UV-Vis spectral region.

There is an urgent need for alternative energy resources due to the rapid rise in the price of fossil fuels and the great danger of the increasing greenhouse effect caused by carbon dioxide emission. Sunlight provides by far the largest of all carbon-neutral energy sources. Therefore, the current solar-or photovoltaic-cell-based technologies, which can utilize solar energy, are of extreme importance. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are of particular interest because they can offer a number of advantages when compared to existing photovoltaic technologies. In this review, recent advances in carbonrelated nanomaterials and their application as materials for DSSCs are discussed. Carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene display remarkable electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties that enable several exciting applications in DSSCs. The progress on the utilisation of carbon nanotubes, graphene, and their nanocomposites is reviewed as highly prospective materials to replace transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layers and counter electrodes in DSSCs. Moreover, carbon nanomaterials enable improvement of the performance of absorbing layers in working photoanodes by enhancing the light absorption and electron transport across the semiconducting nanostructured fi lm. The application of carbon nanotubes, graphite particles, and graphene as additives towards the improved effi ciency of the electrolyte in these solar cells is also discussed. Finally, a brief outlook is provided on the future development of carbon nanomaterial composites as prospective materials for DSSCs, particularly as components for printable solar cells, which are expected to play an important role in the future solarcell market.
