Abstract

The extended π-conjugated intrinsic conducting polymers (CP) have increasingly been employed to replace Pt-based counter electrodes (CEs) in dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) due to their ease in processing, control over electrical properties, structural porosity and resistance to corrosion. Most conductive polymers are derivatives of polyacetylene, polyaniline, polypyrrole or polythiophenes. The Pt-based counter electrode accounts for 46% of total cost of DSSC. Various materials classes and their combinations have been investigated as potential replacement with increasingly favorable claims. Herein, a brief account of study has been presented with focus on conducting polymers as potential replacement for Pt-based CEs in DSSCs. Various nano-reinforcements have also been presented and their perceived effects will be discussed in detail. The CPs accounts for 11.19% of total published articles related to CEs for DSSCs and 1.23% share in granted patents. In this chapter, all the important conducting polymers (which have been used as CE) have been discussed section-wise with nano-reinforcements being utilized to improve the performance.
