As aforementioned, the introduction of carbon nanomaterials is an effective strategy to take on some of the contemporary challenges in the field of DSSCs. In particular, enhanced charge injection and charge transport processes in carbon nanomaterial-doped electrodes, efficient carbon nanomaterial-based, iodine-free, quasi-solid state electrolytes, and the use of novel nanographene hybrids as dyes are some of the most stunning milestones. All of these milestones are considered as solid proof for the excellent prospect of carbon nanomaterials in DSSCs. The major goal of this chapter is to... 

On the other hand, liquid phase deposition (LPD) has been demonstrated as a flexible wet chemical method for preparing metal oxide nanostructured films on electrode surfaces. By the LPD process, electroactive titanium dioxide (Ti02) films were prepared on graphite, glassy carbon and ITO. The electrochemical properties of such LPD Ti02 films were dependent upon the film thickness controlled by the deposition time. The LPD technique was easily combined with other techniques, e.g., seed-mediated growth, which could provide metal/metal oxide composite nanomaterials. Moreover, hybrid nanostructured films were facilely obtained by doping dyes, surfactants and other...
