Experimental data of four-point probe, scanning electron microscopy, and near-edge X-ray fine structure of titanium (IV) isopropoxide and zirconium (IV) dioxide binders incorporated carbon-based counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells

In this article, we present the data collected from the fabricated carbon black-graphite counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) by incorporating binders such as titanium (IV) isopropoxide (TTIP), and zirconium (IV) dioxide (ZrO2). The addition of binders to the carbon black-graphite composite (CB/Gr) can drastically improve the adherence between the counter electrodes and the fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate, surface area and the interparticle connection between the carbon materials. These data are presented which comprise of the resistivity measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS). The collection of this data was performed at room temperature. Detailed analysis of the data can be found in [1] . (C) 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.
