Abstract
Solid state dye-sensitized solar cell using polypyrrole as a hole transport layer was improved. Carbon-based counter electrode gave a good electric contact with the hole transport layer of polypyrrole to give higher cell performance compared to the cell with gold or platinum counter electrode.Keywords
