    摘要: Disclosed are to provide a modified carbon nanotube obtained by reacting a polymer to a carbon nanotube by a radical graft method, capable of minimizing lowering of a physical property of a carbon nanotube caused when being modified, and capable of enhancing dispersibility of the carbon nanotube and an adhesion strength between carbon nanotubes, the polymer having a molecular weight controlled by a living radical polymerization and still having a living radical end group.Also disclosed are to provide a carbon nanotube electrode and a dye-sensitized solar cell using the same, capable of forming a carbon nanotube film having a thickness thinner than that of the conventional electrode by directly spraying, on a substrate, by an electro-spray process, a uniform dispersion solution that the modified carbon nanotube is dispersed in a proper solvent without requiring an additional organic binder, capable of exhibiting an excellent catalytic characteristic owing to a close adhesion strength between carbon nanotubes and an increased relative density of the carbon nanotube film, and capable of implementing an excellent long-term stability owing to a strong bonding force between a carbon nanotube and a substrate.
