“…12,13,[17][18][19][20] Some of these studies have used the pristine nanotubes, [17][18][19] whereas others have functionalized the nanotubes with various functional groups. 13,20,21 Most of the previous investigations have focused on randomly dispersing the CNTs within the active layer, whilst some studies have attempted building the bulk heterojunction using nanotube network as a skeleton, 22 and achieving an orderly array of nanotubes that had connectivity to one of the end electrodes. 23 These studies have demonstrated success in varying degrees, but, in general, the efficiency enhancements achieved by using CNTs with 13,20 or without 18,19,22 functionalization were limited.…”
