A single‐walled carbon nanotube coated PVC substrate is fabricated with a low temperature ink. This substrate exhibits remarkable mechanical durability, impressive charge transfer resistance (2.7 Ω cm 2 ) and similar photovoltaic performance compared to the traditional thermally platinized counter electrodes based dye sensitized solar cell when tested as nonmetallic catalyst loaded metal‐free counter electrode.
