In DSSC or any other PV solar cell
the counter electrode put on FTO
how we can measure adhesion strength between CE and FTO by AFM
thanks
Dear Lee Hk, AFM is applied for both film surface roughness and adhesion. Please check the following documents. My Regards

Abdelkader BOUAZIZ thanks for answering and cooperation
and as I read u can assess the mechanical stability by doing this, How?
after I measure the adhesion strength and know if this CE on FTO has good adhesion with the substrate.
also, how could I measure the mechanical properties by AFM?
