DNA templated gold wires (AuWs) were fabricated on Pt sputtered ITO (Pt/ITO) substrates using ‘scribing’ or ‘writing’ method to be used as a modified counter electrode (CE) in Dye sensitized solar cells. The gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) bind to DNA in aqueous solution due to the polyanionic nature of...
