The fabrication of hydrogel electrode materials via inkjet/extrusion printing, wet-spinning and physical crosslinking will be presented. Electrode characteristics such as conductivity, contact resistance, impedance and electrode connectivity will be discussed in detail.

dye-sensitized solar cells present promising low-cost alternatives to the conventional silicon (si)-based solar cells. the counter electrode  generally consists of pt deposited onto fto plate. since pt is rare and expensive metal, nanostructured carbonaceous materials have been widely investigated as a promising alternative to replace it. carbon nanotubes  have shown significant properties such...

INTRODUCTION The research made in this PhD thesis fits the current trend in the development of new advanced composite electrode materials with high performance and parameters. The composite materials has new physical and chemical properties that are not present in its components taken individually. The new electrode materials were obtained by combination of conducting polymers, such as polypyrr...
