Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are ideal materials for building photovoltaic cells due to their unique one-dimensional structure and excellent photoelectric properties. In this paper, we review recent structural design, fabrication method and device performance of CNT-based photovoltaic cells and different functional roles of CNTs in these devices. Firstly, the structure and photoelectric properties of CNTs are introduced. Then, we emphatically discuss the operation principles, the fabrication methods and the advantages and shortage of the photovoltaic cells with CNTs used as the photoelectric conversion materials, conducting electrodes and carrier transport layers in the devices. The applications of carbon nanotubes in Micro photovoltaic cell,carbon nanotube/silicon heterojunction photovoltaic cells, dye sensitized photovoltaic cells, perovskite photovoltaic cells, organic photovoltaic cells and flexible photovoltaic cells are introduced. Finally, the advantages and challenges of CNT-based photovoltaic cells are summarized. This paper will provide new idea and reference for the design and fabrication of novel carbon-based photovoltaic cells.
