(a) Cross-sectional SEM images of the TiO2 layer deposited on holed stainless steel (SUS 304) ribbons with various thicknesses. (b) J–V characteristics and (c) electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) Bode plot from DSSCs, consisting of a photoanode shown in (a), a Pt-coated FTO glass as a counterelectrode and paper as a spacer. (d) SEM images of Pt-loaded carbon yarn with various H2PtCl6∙6H2O concentrations in the dipping solution. (e) J–V characteristics and (c) Nyquist plot of inserted DSSCs in the textile with various carbon yarns as the counterelectrode. For (e), the TiO2-layer thickness was 4.7 μm. A photoanode-supporting warp diameter of 150 μm and counterelectrode-supporting warp diameter of 220 μm were used.
