Abstract
The authors report the growth of multiwall carbon nanotubes directly onto indium tin oxide glass via chemical vapor deposition as large area semitransparent electrodes for organic solar cell applications. The rate of nanotube growth on this ternary oxide is greatly reduced as compared to that of silicon dioxide and glass substrates enabling a high degree of control over nanotube height. The strong potential of this nanostructured semitransparent substrate as an interpenetrating hole-extracting electrode in bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells is also demonstrated.Keywords
