A carbon nanotube water dispersion contains single-walled carbon nanotubes, acetylene black, a dispersant, and water. The content ratio of the single-walled carbon nanotubes and the acetylene black in the carbon nanotube water dispersion, in terms of a mass ratio of acetylene black/single-walled carbon nanotubes, is 1.4 or less.

Carbon nanotube water dispersion, conductive film, electrode, and solar cell and method of producing same

Provided is a dispersion liquid that can improve coatability (wettability) with respect to a base material and can form a conductive film having high close adherence with a base material. The dispersion liquid contains a carbon material (A), a condensate (B) of an aromatic sulfonic acid compound, a hydroxyphenol compound, and an aldehyde compound, and a solvent (C).

Dispersion liquid, conductive film and production method thereof, electrode, and solar cell

Provided is a carbon nanotube water dispersion with which it is possible to form a conductive film that has excellent film strength and can cause a solar cell to display excellent conversion efficiency and reliability. The carbon nanotube water dispersion is for an electrode of a solar cell that includes an electrolyte solution containing a polar aprotic substance as a solvent and contains carbon nanotubes, a dispersant, a thickener, and water. The dispersant is soluble in the solvent and the thickener is insoluble in the solvent.
