(a) Schematic illustration of the fabrication concept for textile-based dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) made by sewing textile electrodes onto cloth or paper. (b) Photograph of the loom (inset) used to weave the textile electrodes, and (c) a woven electrode. The inset shows an image of the stainless steel ribbon with periodic holes. (d) Photograph of the sewing process to attach the woven electrodes to Hanji, a Korean traditional paper. (e) Schematic illustration showing the cross-sectional structure of the textile-based DSSC prepared by sewing and (f) photograph of a core-integrated textile-based DSSC fabricated by sewing textile electrodes onto Hanji.
