Fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, nanodiamond, and graphene find various applications in the development of solar cells, including dye sensitized solar cells. Nanocarbons can be used as (1) active light-absorbing component, (2) current collector, (3) photoanode additive, or (4) counter electrode. Graphene-based materials have attracted considerable interest for catalytic counter electrodes, particularly in state-of-the-art dye sensitized solar cells with Co-mediators. The understanding of electrochemical charge-transfer at carbon surfaces is key to optimization of these solar cells, but the electrocatalysis on carbon surfaces is still a subject of conflicting debate. Due to the rich palette of problems at the interface of nanocarbons and photovoltaics, this review is selective rather than comprehensive. Its motivation was to highlight selected prospective inputs from nanocarbon science towards the development of novel dye sensitized solar cells with improved efficiency, durability, and cost.
富勒烯、碳纳米管、纳米金刚石和石墨烯在太阳能电池（包括染料敏化太阳能电池）的开发中有着广泛应用。纳米碳可用作：（1）活性光吸收组件；（2）集电器；（3）光阳极添加剂；或（4）对电极。基于石墨烯的材料在催化对电极方面引起了相当大的关注，特别是在具有钴介导剂的先进染料敏化太阳能电池中。理解碳表面的电化学电荷转移是优化这些太阳能电池的关键，但碳表面的电催化仍然是一个存在争议的话题。由于纳米碳与光伏界面存在诸多问题，本综述是选择性的而非全面性的。其目的是突出纳米碳科学对开发具有更高效率、耐久性和成本效益的新型染料敏化太阳能电池的一些有前景的贡献。
