Aside from above carbonaceous materials, meso-porous carbon
has recently been applied to the counter electrode for enhancing
the g of DSSC [17,18] due to its accessible porosity, high surface
area, and high electrical conductivity [17]. However, less attention
has been paid to the application of meso-porous carbon, such as
bamboo charcoal (BC), in the working electrode to facilitate LHE.
In addition, bamboo, which is found in diverse climates from cold
mountains to tropical or subtropical regions, is the most notable
among biomass resources because it is one of the fastest growing
plants on Earth [1].
