Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with titanium dioxide (TiO2) doped with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were fabricated in this study, and the impact of the doped-MWCNT concentration on the performance of the DSSCs was investigated. The TiO2-based DSSC doped with MWCNTs exhibited a higher photoelectric conversion efficiency than the DSSC with only TiO2. The structural characteristics of the MWCNTs allowed the DSSC film to increase its surface porosity to adsorb more dye, which enhanced the DSSC’s electron transport properties and performance significantly.
