Pt-free and efficient counter electrode with nanostructured CoNi2S4 for dye-sensitized solar cells

The counter electrode has a great influence on the performance of the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The research and development of Pt-free counter electrode is becoming one of the hot areas in the field of DSSCs. Herein, we successfully synthesized a ternary metal sulfide (CoNi2S4) nanostructure on FTO substrate by hydrothermal method and investigated its application as counter electrode...

Flexible and platinum-free dye-sensitized solar cells with conducting-polymer-coated graphene counter electrodes.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have emerged as a high-efficiency, low-cost alternative to solid-state silicon solar cells. Typically, DSSCs are composed of a mesoporous titania nanocrystal electrode on a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) substrate with ruthenium-based sensitizers on the titania nanocrystals, platinum on the TCO substrate as a counter electrode, and iodine/iodide electrolyt...
