Abstract
This study investigates the optical and electrical properties of thin black films of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) fabricated under various conditions to explore their potential integration as either a perfect broadband absorber or enhanced counter electrode. The study involves SEM measurements, surface resistance measurements, and UV–Vis. spectrometer analysis. The results show that the CNT thin films exhibit high electrical conductivity and strong light absorption across various wavelengths. Optically, we investigated the impact of varying the growth temperature and catalyst temperature on the absorption profile of the thin films. The fabricated and deposited CNTs showed broadband absorption spectra, reaching 92.8% of the commercial reference sample, covering both visible and near-infrared spectra. Alternatively, the morphological surface resistance for the CNT thin films recorded agonist commercial CNT samples and FTO-coated glass. An average surface resistance of 20.5 Ω/Sq.
