Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the widely used carbon materials which possess excellent optoelectronic properties. In the previous few decades, CNTs and CNTs based materials have been explored in a various optical/electrical applications such as electrochemical sensors, and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In present scenario, selection of bi-functional materials have received extensive attentions from the scientific community. It is understood that CNTs and CNTs based materials are promising electrode materials for various electrochemical applications due to their excellent electro-catalytic properties. The CNTs based materials may be a suitable electrode material for the fabrication of electrochemical sensors and platinum (Pt) free DSSCs. It is worthy to mention that electrochemical sensors and counter electrode (CE) of DSSCs involves the use of electro-catalysts which can catalyze the redox reactions. Previous years have witnessed the rapid growth in the design and fabrication of CNTs based hybrid materials for electrochemical sensing and DSSCs applications. In this review article, we have compiled the previous reports on the use of CNTs and CNTs based electrode materials for the construction of dopamine (DA) sensor and Pt free CE for DSSCs. We believe that present review article may benefits the researchers who are currently involved in the synthesis of CNTs based electrode materials for electrochemical sensor and DSSCs applications.
