AB  - Effects of incorporation of acid-treated single-wall carbon nanotubes (a-SWCNs) 
      in TiO(2) film and of anchorage of dye-linked, a-SWCNs (hereafter dye-SWCNs) to 
      the TiO(2)/electrolyte interface on photocurrent-voltage characteristics of 
      dye-sensitized solar cells were studied. Compared with an unmodified cell, the 
      modified cell with the a-SWCNs in TiO(2) film showed a 25% increase in 
      short-circuit photocurrent (J(sc)). The J(sc) increase is correlated with 
      improved connectivity between the a-SWCNs and the TiO(2) particles and with 
      enhanced light scattering by TiO(2) clusters formed in the presence of the 
      a-SWCNs. In the case of anchoring dye-SWCNs to the TiO(2)/electrolyte interface, 
      the open-circuit voltage (V(oc)) increased by as much as 0.1 V, possibly due to 
      the basicity of the TiO(2) surface from NH groups of ethylenediamine moieties of 
      the anchored dye-SWCNs.
