Recent development of carbon nanotubes materials as counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells
Dye-sensitized solar cells present promising low-cost alternatives to the conventional Silicon (Si)-based solar cells. The counter electrode generally consists of Pt deposited onto FTO plate. Since Pt is rare and expensive metal, nanostructured carbonaceous materials have been widely investigated as a promising alternative to replace it. Carbon nanotubes have shown significant properties such...
متن کاملLow-cost and high-performance CoMoS4 and NiMoS4 counter electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells.
Porous chalcogels CoMoS4 and NiMoS4 made by a facile solution reaction displayed good electrocatalytic activity in the redox reaction of the I(-)/I3(-) shuttle. Dye-sensitized solar cells with these ternary compounds as counter electrodes (CEs) showed photovoltaic performance similar to the devices made with noble metal platinum CE (7.46%).
متن کاملTransition metal selenides as efficient counter-electrode materials for dye-sensitized solar cells.
Exploiting an alternative of the Pt-based counter-electrode materials for the triiodide reduction reaction has become a major interest in the fundamental research of dye-sensitized solar cells. Transition-metal selenides have recently been demonstrated as promising non-precious metal electrocatalysts for the triiodide reduction reaction. Herein, we prepared a series of transition-metal selenide...
متن کاملHighly efficient telluride electrocatalysts for use as Pt-free counter electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells.
Two transition metal tellurides, CoTe and NiTe2, were synthesized and for the first time employed as the counter electrodes (CEs) with high catalytic activity for reduction of I3(-) in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Using CoTe and NiTe2-based CEs, photoelectric conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 6.92% and 7.21% were achieved for DSCs, respectively, comparable to that of 7.04% achieved when u...
متن کاملNitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes with metal nanoparticles as counter electrode materials for dye-sensitized solar cells.
Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes decorated with Co and Ni metal nanoparticles were assessed as counter electrodes (CEs) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). These composites show good electrocatalytic activity toward the counter electrode reduction reaction (I3(-)→ I(-)) in DSSCs. The resulting devices using these composites as CEs display photovoltaic performance as good as, or even better th...
