Synthesis of MWCNTs from methanol/butanol mixture by catalytic chemical vapor deposition and application to synthesized dye sensitizer solar cell

In this research, the MWCNTs (multi-wall carbon nanotubes) were produced with the assistance of CVD (chemical vapor disposition) at 700°C from mixture of methanol/Butanol (1:1) with using ferrocene as catalyst for growth. The synthesized product was characterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectrome...

Description
Summary:In this research, the MWCNTs (multi-wall carbon nanotubes) were produced with the assistance of CVD (chemical vapor disposition) at 700°C from mixture of methanol/Butanol (1:1) with using ferrocene as catalyst for growth. The synthesized product was characterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, Raman spectrometry, X-ray diffraction and Scanning electron microscopy. The synthesized MWCNTs were impregnated with TiO2 and manufacturing Dye-sensitized Solar cells (DSSCs) with two different ratios 0.005% and 0.01% and were characterized after and before thermal treatment by measuring band gab I/V measurements with make image for TiO2 after and before impregnated. The results showed that 0.01% MWCNT/TiO2 was more active to synthesized DSSC than 0.005%MWCNT/TiO2.
