“…CNTs can also be incorporated in the active photoanode to improve conductivity and reduce recombination. For example, EPD films combining CNTs with TiO 2 on FTO or ITO showed improved transport of photo-generated electrons, and consequently an enhanced PCE [221].…”

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is a powerful technique to assemble carbon nanotube (CNT) coatings and composite films with controlled architectures. This comprehensive review of the EPD of CNTs and CNT-containing composites focuses on achievements within the last 15 years and ongoing challenges. Stable CNT suspensions are a prerequisite for successful EPD and have been prepared by a variety of strategies, discussed here. The resulting film microstructure is determined by the initial feedstock, the suspension, and the EPD approach applied, as well as a variety of EPD processing parameters. Nanocomposites can be prepared via co-deposition, sequential deposition, or post-deposition treatments, to introduce metallic, ceramic or polymeric phases. There are numerous potential applications for both homogeneous and patterned CNT films, including as structural reinforcements for composites, as field emission, energy storage and conversion devices, as well as in biomedical applications. The advantages and disadvantages of EPD processing in these contexts are discussed.

“…However, other nanosized geometries, in particular, nanotubes or nanoribbons, may allow a much higher control of the chemical or physical behavior. By diminishing dimensions to the nanoscale, not only the specific surface area increases significantly but also the electronic properties may change considerably 13,14 . These effects may also contribute to drastically improve the reaction/interaction between a device and the surrounding media, thereby making the system more effective (kinetics), or even allow for entirely novel reaction pathways 14 .…”

Nanoparticles of TiO 2 have been the main semiconductor applied in Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this work, titanate nanotubes (NaTiNT) and nanoribbons, were obtained by the hydrothermal method from TiO 2 anatase. These materials were deposited on conductive substrate by electrophoresis, with and without thermal treatment, sensitized by ruthenium-based dye and used as work electrode. Exposing those photovoltaic devices to visible radiation, with films before thermal treatment, a short-circuit current density (J SC ) of 0.0012 mA/cm 2 was observed for the cell with NaTiNT, a current density of 0.0398 mA/cm 2 for the cell with Nanoribbons, and a current density of 0.4028 mA/cm 2 for the cell with TiO 2 as electrode. After thermal treatment, a short-circuit current density of 0.4269 mA/cm 2 was observed for the cell with NaTiNT, a current density of 0.0765 mA/cm 2 for the Nanoribbons cell, and, finally, a current density of 0.3310 mA/cm 2 for the cell with TiO 2 as electrode. The new morphological, structural and optical characteristics of these nanoparticles may contribute for the development and research of new generation photovoltaic devices.
